@davepl1968 Great educational and fun video Dave. Memory allocation is definitely an under rated subject in software architecture!

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@ClementDelangue .@BotJunkie for sure!

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@karpathy Touché that’s a good one! Understanding also turns out to be far more important!

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@_asadmemon Nice. When do you think it will ship to early backers?

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@jimkxa Great architecture. Reminiscing of the early Cray Supercomputing day? Hope all is well.

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@kscottz Yes. Amazing venue.

@antoniolupetti This is a great one. Thank you for sharing!

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

Great!

@MollySOShea @typesfast Is that the Miami office?

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@OpenRoboticsOrg @rosorg Might join for this!

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@darrenmarble Hi Darren, what is the best way to RSVP?

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@jimkxa @tenstorrent Thank you for the insight Jim. Very valuable from someone who was there and did it! Hope all is well.

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@pmddomingos Touché. Too funny!

[CAM BUSCARON @GatorRobotics]

@antoniolupetti This is a great one. I started editing and bringing this one up to date recently. Still have a bit more to go. Would love to hear further take on it cam at alafia period ai

What happens when you put competing neural networks in a Petri Dish and start changing the rules while they adapt?

Last year we released Petri Dish NCA, where neural nets are the organisms that learn during simulation. Today we're releasing Digital Ecosystems: a browser-based platform for interactive artificial life research.

The setup: several small CNNs share a 2D grid, each seeing only a 3x3 neighborhood. No global plan. They compete for territory by attacking neighbours and defending against incoming attacks, learning via gradient descent online while the simulation runs.

What we didn't expect was the role of the learning itself. Gradient descent isn't just optimising each species' strategy. Instead, it acts to stabilize the whole system during simulation. Species that overextend get pushed back by the loss. Species that stagnate get nudged to grow. This means you can push parameters toward edge-of-chaos regimes: a zone characterised by emergent complexity. Letting the neural networks learn acts to hold the complex system together while you explore and interact.

The platform lets you steer all of this interactively. You can draw walls to create niches, erase parts of the system online, and tune 40+ system parameters to explore the most interesting configurations. We find it mesmerizing to watch species carve out territories and reorganise when you perturb them.
