We are trained to make excuses for the inexcusable.

Folks have made many visual explainers to help us grasp just how rich the world's wealthiest people are. This is one of the best I've seen: https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

However, I think it's good while viewing this to keep in mind that most folks still think rich people are not bad. I'd urge you to consider while going thru this visualizer how many people are visibly homeless - just where you live - and ask yourself if you could have this much wealth and NOT help, and in fact hinder. #EatTheRich

Hey, friends, a quick reminder that although Make America Kittens Again (MAKA) has been blocked from Chrome, it still works on Firefox:

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/make-firefox-kittens-again/

(MAKA is a browser extension that replaces all images whose metadata includes the word 'Trump' with a creative-commons picture of a kitten. Here's what it did to the front page of today's NYTimes for me.)

I combined #Genuary25 and #Genuary26 to make a re-creation of a cool texture pic from my phone, while also growing from seeds (i.e. seed crystals). I positioned the clusters using a Poisson disc sampling code from @AaronReuland (which was adapted from Daniel Shiffman's code). It would be fun to delve further into this. Needs more sparkles, at least.

You can run it here to see it grow:

An ice crystal texture I made using p5.js today, in an attempt to emulate the one in the previous image. Contrast and brightness adjusted slightly.

10 green blocks form a ring. The ring slowly rotates but the 3D orientations of each block implies that half the ring is rotating about an axis that is perpendicular to that which the other half of the ring is rotating around.

Regarding that last boost, I'm starting to conceive of LLMs and image generators as a phenomenon of (American) society eating its seed corn. If you're not familiar with the phrase, "seed corn" is the corn you set aside to plant next year, as opposed to the corn you eat this year. If you eat your seed corn this year, you have no seeds to plant next year, and thus create a crisis for all future years, a crisis that could have been avoided with better management.

LLMs and image generators mass ingest human-created texts and images. Since the human creators of the ingested texts and images are not compensated and not even credited, this ingestion puts negative pressure on the sharing of such things. Creative acts functioning as seed for future creative acts becomes depressed. Creative people will have little choice but to lock down, charge for, or hide their works. Otherwise, they'll be ingested by innumerable computer programs and replicated ad infinitum without so much as a credit attached. Seed corn that had been freely given forward will become difficult to get. Eaten.

Eating your seed corn is meant to be a last ditch act you take out of desperation after exhausting all other options. It's not meant to be standard operating procedure. What a bleak society that does this, consuming itself in essence.

10,000 looped particles in my own physics library with gravity = x-coordinate.

Simulation of 10,000 particles in six nested loops with two-way symmetry with gravity pulling down on the left and up on the right so the loops swirl around for one minute.

Sharing some more of my art inspired by today's #genuary prompt. I really love these, for some reason.

They have a combination of paint splatter and erosion quality to them.

I posted them in public posts on my patreon and ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/genuary-2024-day-95689327

"Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can"

Play with this image live (and check out its source code) at https://infinitefunspace.com/p5/ball/ Drag with the mouse or your finger to spin it around.

It uses buffer-less rendering of 100,000 screen-aligned triangles textured with spheres. Each one is sized, colored, and animated entirely within the vertex shader.

The U. S. veto of the U.N. resolution calling for a humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza is flabbergasting in its moral indefensibility. The issue is not whether Israel has the right to defend itself. The issue is whether the people of Gaza are people, who have the right to exist.

Banning puberty blockers is NOTHING but cruelty.

Puberty blockers are a BARE MINIMUM MEASURE for trans youth. If you care so damned much about these kids, you can at least allow them to put off permanent changes for some time

Granted, 2 years is about the reasonable max, but you can't tell me you accept trans adults and then force kids to undergo puberty for their assigned gender.

THOSE changes are largely irreversible. And many of those kids won't make it to a trans adulthood.

I think the thing that bugs me about the LLM/AGI/GPT/BBQ craze is that it used to be kinda tricky to make computers do what you wanted them to do, but once you did it was absolutely completely reliable, and when they didn't do what you wanted, you could figure out why and fix it.

The new AI stuff throws away everything that computers used to excel at and just tries to give us faster shittier human minds.

The reliability, predictability, and understandability of conventional computation is the great strength of computers, and a marvelous complement to the way that the human mind works. Throwing that out in the service of going faster is just depressing.

Well, that's a relief. I finally deleted all of my Twitter posts, reposts, etcetera, and deactivated my 14.5 year old account. We've lost something that may never return, but we can all do our parts in building an even more active and vibrant #GenerativeArt community outside of any hateful, evil, exploitative sites. It may not be easy, but it will be worth it. The letter X will no longer have negative associations if we ignore that site and make cool things with the letter instead.

Some #CreativeCoding for this evening in #py5. Points are generated around the screen via a random walk, and then connected with curves altering the color and the blend mode as it progresses through the curves

A white background on which there are lots of blue stars and diamond shapes
A cloudy blue background on which a series of interlocking diamond like curves are drawn
Even more diamond shaped curves

👋 Hi! I'm very excited/relieved to share my updated portfolio website. It includes some new projects, including my 'Digital Organics' series with limited edition prints available for purchase.

Also, discover the 'Vistas' series, exploring the unease of venturing into unknown territories.

Photograph of a pen plot titled 'Twisted' in blue ink on light cream paper. There is an orange fountain pen open at the bottom of the frame. The plotted artwork is an abstract geometrical fold, resembling a twisted tube, bending from the upper left to the lower right.
An untitled work from the series 'Vistas' that depicts an abstract landscape in blues, greens, and purples. It appears to be a cave that recedes into darkness.

Look, we tried trickle-down economics for forty years. It simply didn’t work. The national debt exploded and nothing trickled-down, so now we move on.

Stimulating the economy from the bottom up is clearly more effective. A rising tide should life all boats, not just yachts.
