It's been a while since I shared any smaller scenes. So, here is some coastal dynamics for you. Nothing special, I love the patterns, the shapes, and the energy of the water moving around the rocks.

Thinking about genAI vs human intelligence.
genAI hallucinates, unavoidably.
Humans make mistakes, unavoidably.
Mistakes aren't hallucinations. They are a step in a truth-finding process. They help the human who makes the mistake (and their fellow humans) to improve their criteria for true or false.
Hallucinations, when detected, are a trigger for the model to produce answers whose lack of validated truth is less detectable.
Relevant clumsiness vs sophisticated emptyness.
Yesterday, someone described to me a future in which most literature was AI-generated, and real books were "artisan".
I'm still trying to find all the words to explain why that wouldn't be okay.
The now-famous "why should I read something you couldn't be bothered to write?" line lands, yes. But deeper than that, writing is an essential part of thinking and imagination.
And human thought and imagination must never be outsourced or replaced.
"I've become quite wary of the power to provoke emotions."
In today's Guardian. A quiet, probing and nuanced interview by Alex Clark with the great novelist Kazuo Ishiguru.
On writing, on generational changes in writers, on ignoring genre boundaries, on the difficulty of preserving integrity as a writer when genAI gets good at manipulating our emotions.
Set up to promote a re-edition of one of his novels, but very much worth reading.

I've created & uploaded video previews of a few more #LinearMemory variations & recommend the download versions for best quality (HD720p @ 60fps)... The actual piece is a realtime (browser based), endless and non-repeating animation. The only things left now are further optimizations and making it dynamically adaptive to different screen/print sizes...
