I took this photo of my kid playing with his blocks the other day, and when I realized it reminded me of something, well...I had to make this.

A survey from Nature found that about half of scientists who used to use Twitter have cut back or quit it entirely & half are using other platforms. It's great to see you here instead! https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02554-0

Random thought: the end game of "creative" ML tools (for design etc) is not just job replacement.

It's algorithmic "everything". An algorithm that can generate 1000 slightly different ads, display to users, and based on clicks optimize itself and promote the most succesul ones.
(Netflix already does that with trailers, but still half manually.)

Real world reinforcement learning, where human attention is the reward function, cheap to evaluate.

Coming soon: Ricoh 2A03 support (the NES CPU) for visual6502remix :)

Whoah, apparently Twitter suspended my account and then changed their mind. Seems a bit much. I missed it all because I was reading to 10 yo. Or rather alternately reading and listening to his ideas for new Pokemon.
