Death and Life, 1908, by Gustav Klimt

[Anika @AnikaSomaia]

one of the best essays i've read, maybe ever. anish articulates so well why making things feels so different from consuming them

the idea is that "being present" is a sad goal for a life. the most alive people are stretched across past and future at once, remembering, planning, dreaming

consuming only ever asks you to be in the current second. but making something pulls you into all three tenses – because you're building toward a thing you can already see, made of everything you've ever loved.

Asked Fable to build a navigable version of Yosemite to scale

> pulled satellite imagery + real NASA elevation data
> classified individual forest pixels and created ~266k procedural trees
> custom water shaders for all 6 famous waterfalls + accurate placement on cliff brinks
> five times of day: dawn to night
> tested itself: flew the camera around headlessly, screenshotted its own work, and fixed tree colors + waterfall placement from what it saw
> added snow etc. unprompted

Pretty fucking impressive

Amazing to think that the agi ushered in is currently being settled by a quasi global game of catan

[Nabeel S. Qureshi @nabeelqu]

If you are seriously AGI-pilled, then one weird implication in the limit is that “talent” seemingly stops mattering as much for company success. It just becomes a game of hard power: access to the very best AI models, compute, data, land, etc.

In “Everything’s Computer,” Anika Meier samples 5 art practitioners who are responding to genAI by building avatars, ecosystems, and autonomous models – and blowing open the conceit that art’s value should rest on its makers’ signatures.

genre defining moments abound in ai art. technical refinement pushes the medium forward. embracing tech specific liminality shapes cultural memory, similar to film grain or distortion on an electric guitar

“Mass slop has nothing to do with art, just like photos to remember your parking space don’t implicate photographers, nor does a receipt degrade writing.” – @gucaslelfond on @jonrafman @darylanselmo @BennettWaisbren and emerging AI art

1965: "Want to help pioneer what may become a new art form? All you need is paper, ink, a talent for mathematics and computer equipment worth about a quarter of a million dollars…"

From Computer Scores 'Breakthrough' in Art from the Lansing State Journal, May, 16 1965.
