Been thinking about what's left for me to launch into the water.

1. Launch
1.1 paint the hull
1.1.1 lightly sand the hull
1.1.2 figure out of you got enough paint and primer, by more if needed
1.1.2 tape all fixtures on deck and the waterline
1.1.3 read the manufacturer instructions
1.1.4 pick painting day
1.1.5 paint the deck and freeboard
1.1.5.1 put 2 layers of primer
1.1.5.2 put 3 layers of paint
1.1.6 tape off and paint the...

Anybody enjoying (or working on) a virtual pet game? #artificialLife

Going through old t* posts. Here I was working out better evolvable brain algorithms for Vilmonic. These multi-color ballpoint pen notes and diagrams are from my sketchbook. One algorithm seems to have been given the acronym "AFOWL", ha! Much thanks to discussions with my good friend @antovsky

#AIPartners are a thing. Not sure how I feel about that. Seems hollow, but maybe it makes a difference to someone who needs it.

This minimal system recapitulates the key roles of energy limitations and components aging in the regulation of the lifetime of living systems.

I have several artificial life simulation projects. This is a video of one of them. Soon I plan to release a video on a similar, but simpler project. In it I will describe in detail the work of the genome

An old project from 2001. A cellular automata where matter is conserved and the cells move around but stay connected.

@rheophore had the same idea!

The movement of one of the colors is biased to move downwards where possible. It soon gets swallowed by the other blob. When that happens there is no escape, even though the connection rule is only local.

#CellularAutomata #ArtificialLife

@rheophore @mrdk No need for it to be asynchronous but you would need a 3x3 partitioning scheme: https://github.com/gollygang/ruletablerepository/wiki/RoadMap

I played with the same rule! https://web.archive.org/web/20180425163135/http://www.sq3.org.uk/Evolution/Squirm/how/index.html

If you have different colors then naturally the amoeba-like blob can swallow others, which is pretty cool.

Here's a little toy particle #simulation that I made. Is it microscopic or galaxy scale? https://z-sim.neocities.org #lifesim #artificiallife #strange (based on an amazing tutorial linked at the bottom of the page)

Happy New Year! Here's to beginning Vilmonicland in 2023!!

This sequel to Vilmonic will be an observation and exploration sim featuring an evolving mathematical universe, algorithmic life forms, strategic conversations, gardening, crafting, and multiplayer.

#Life is a necessary condition and comes before #Intelligence which is in turn necessary for the acquisition of #Language:

Language use is an aspect of human collective behaviour, and it only makes sense in the wider context of the human social activity of which it forms a part (Wittgenstein, 1953). A human infant is born into a community of language users with which it shares a world, and it acquires language by interacting with this community and with the world it shares with them.

Trying to “reverse engineer” intelligence from LLMs seems like a futile endeavor. Instead of #AI, it may be more useful to redirect efforts to building #ArtificialLife (#AL)

Apakah #AI akan menggantikan posisi manusia?

Mungkin tidak ❌ menggantikan

Tapi #AI akan menggeser peran #manusia, kita masih diperlukan tapi untuk hal yang lain

The paper includes an (incomplete) overview of works that have inspired #artificiallife research in these areas, followed by a review of the outputs of Hybrid Life special sessions, organised by us (Keisuke, Hiro, Olaf, Lana and yours truly) at #ALIFE conferences. @ISAL

First #preprint thread on mastodon!

"Hybrid Life: Integrating Biological, Artificial, and Cognitive Systems"

#arxiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.00285

This work summarises some recent trends in #artificiallife research born from its intersections with other fields. We focus in particular on three areas, that we group under the umbrella name of "Hybrid Life":
- theories of #systems and #agents
- hybrid #augmentation
- hybrid #interaction

The ALIFE 2023 conference, to be held on July 24-28th in Sapporo, Japan, is looking for proposals for special sessions.

Vilmonic allows you to export/ import your creatures with an image that includes a pixel printout of their genes. This creates a meta-game where players can edit the genes in the image to perform genetic engineering, if you can figure out the gene encoding...
