Jean! So good connecting with you too!
@alife2025.bsky.social was such a blast! Met lots of old and new faces and had very good conversations. Already looking forward to next year in Canada 🍁
Another successful day @alife2025.bsky.social is over. We even got a chance to visit the gorgeous new ALife Institute here in Kyoto!

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.
Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
First day of the @alife2025.bsky.social conference was fun! Our @eralife.bsky.social workshop was a success. Thanks to @risi.bsky.social, @bhartl.bsky.social, and @zzznah.bsky.social for their talks! After we checked out the local cuisine with @ilzhechev.bsky.social.

As the parent of a type-I diabetic, I would like to invite the ignorant piece of shit currently directing the FDA to kiss my ass.
Hi @everyone!
In case you've missed it, there is still a chance to nominate a paper for the ✨**Outstanding Student Publication Award**✨ for the upcoming ALIFE 2025 conference!

More in the thread!
Looks interesting! How does Corvallis's concept of recursivity differ from Hofstadter's strange loop theory? Both seem to address self-reference in consciousness…
Thinking of coming to #ALIFE2025?
In addition to inspirational keynotes, a week of research talks, workshops & tutorials, you can also expect to find:
- An industry technology expo
- Industry vendors
- Art shows
- A public event
and much more!
We cannot wait to see you all!

📊 Results speak for themselves: TE finds more unique successful solutions and shows faster convergence across environments. The approach especially shines in challenging tasks 📈
🤖 Looking at these robot navigation tasks - TE captures the full trajectory, not just endpoints.
The archives reveal exactly where successful robots walked, giving much better insights than traditional ME! 🔍
📑 New paper! 'Trace-Elites: better Quality-Diversity with Multi-Point Descriptors'
We introduce TE, a simple extension of MAP-Elites that lets solutions map to multiple points in descriptor space.
