As the feedback loop tightens, every civilisation eventually hears itself humming through the amplifier.
Some call it progress; some call it noise.
But somewhere between the two—at the meeting point of signal and distortion—lies the possibility of new music. #cynchours

Pluralism isn’t chaos; it’s structured diversity. It holds that there are multiple valid modes of understanding — scientific, narrative, spiritual, experiential — and that progress happens through their dialogue, not their fusion.

#100daysofcode #day10 ish :) so still going (although failing on the blogging) Finished me C++ refresher on codecademy, now just getting going on Unreal Engine game programming on udemy. Plan is to learn how to prototype a data VR visualisation concept. We'll have to see how it goes. Wish me luck :)

#100daysofcode #day5ish so still going, actually quite enjoying giving myself the time to play and remember all those things i used to know. Not really dived into #codecadmy much before, I like the design and format. Nice to see that codings best friend is also not AI, it's definitly still coffee :)

#100daysofcode #day002 so, ok, slight cheat on day two, i found the codecademy app so i could do a bit while on the road ... does that count?

#100daysofcode #day001 ok, got started working and prep done. Completed the first module of codecademy course done. Got project on git and updated Visual Studio as well as VS Code. Got me first hiccup now, realised me kick-off might have been a bad choice of day. Sadly now away for 2 days, oh dear!

#100daysofcode so, i learnt C and C++ more years ago than i care to remember. in my current reality i have a project that needs me to dev a data app in XR and visuals. So... here i am, gonna try and do a 100daysofcode and get a refresher as well as drive some motivation.

AI-generated art has the potential to mirror society in the same way Pop Art critiqued it. It acts as a contemporary lens, scrutinizing societal norms and reflecting them back as statistical probabilities and simulacra of learned realities.

Perhaps it's time for a new revolution. :)

So, Jean Baudrillard, now there's an intereting chap. I kinda think he would have enjoyed the images generated by the diffusion models and the principals that underly this technology.

so, here we are 2025, a number, a measure of time that we use in our current society narrative. By this measure we currently think this ball we are all on formed nearly 4,500,000,000 years ago. That's a long long time. About 4,000,000,000 there started to be a solid crust over the molten surface.

so as 2024 ends and 2025 prepares to start it is intereting to ponder what another 365 rotations of this earth will bring. It's been spinning for so long, like really, soooo long, you'd think it would be getting dizzy.
