Got to meet a Dutch cat. I’m actually not sure what I would expect a Dutch cat to look like but I LOVE how round this cat is

Thank you for your translation 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Interesting the soft drinks were free!!

That is so funny, like it was put through a computer translator 🫡🙂‍↕️ I’m dying 😭😂an advocate

I loved nesso and flor de fugo had created a world with layers and textures on many levels. Including quotes on algorithms throughout the decades.

Then it was show and tell! I talked about hex house :p the performances were next

The next one was around making your own RAVE model, the Cartography of generative AI was shared
A really fun illustrated map of the current landscape

Visiting Parisian livecode meetup. Good to know that film students gently filming livecoders in their natural habitat for their class documentary on strange people who do strange things is a universal livecoder experience.

I miss nerfs !! I wish there was more art w nerfs and/or applications in Gaussian splatting!! I co-wrote the openframeworks Gaussian splat plugin w Zach Lieberman
It didn’t take like I thought it would

uzu pattern language + shadertoy style environment + integrating any uniforms automatically (thanks @boggo.bsky.social for the idea!) makes that 90s rave flyer vibe so easy...

I also used to work at nvidia! Maybe we intersected even earlier without knowing 🤔🤔🤔🫡

I feel the same way about my project :p maybe one day it will be functional enough for you to use! For now a bit of it is fantasy (like you can’t undo or save any files lol)

In the Lourve and a man walks up to me, takes out his phone, takes a picture of me point blank and walks away.

I need to date a DJ who hates me, only to get cheated on, to offset the ego boost I just got

More livecode!!!!
