Today I'm open-sourcing Tangle: a new library that automatically 'entangles' and syncs WebAssembly.
Play with the demo: tanglesync.com
And check out the code: github.com/kettle11/tangle

Human evolution demands humans value social expression to preserve the social ties needed for our species to survive.
Design & taste are social expression.
"Taste" derived from something that doesn't participate in the social graph will inherently be valued less.

Now imagine this example program was itself created by a program that said 'llm "Reply to urgent emails on your own"' and that LLM spit out this example.
I think future code will look that that where fuzzy and strict logic is layered and nested.
I've seen people describe Jev as an "AI if statement". But what if it actually WAS an if statement?
Introducing Probably: a programming language powered by Jev: probably-lang.southpolesteve…
Jev baked into the language. “feels” asks a question. “match” routes between descriptions. “while” keeps going until something stops feeling true.
This is obviously a toy, but it's fun to think about what something like Jev unlocks. Jev makes the decisions, an LLM does the writing, and a little program ties it together.

When I was at Microsoft I kinda wished they leaned more into the reality of how many people set photos of their family or significant other as the desktop wallpaper.
Does it look as cool as a high-res elephant photo with no desktop icons? No, but it is very wholesome!

I really like the idea of "code" that alternates between objective and subjective structure.
let (user_name_is_offensive, why) = ai("Is this user name offensive and if so why?");
if user_name_is_offense {
etc...
you are not too stupid at all!
jev is meant as a tool for developers to put intelligence into software, so in an ideal world, average users would never know there was AI in their software, it would just silently be better
(kinda like not knowing what database your favorite software runs on)

Very beginnings of a prototype of a tower defense game with wooden blocks and lots of physics.

Like if you use WebSockets then a position message failing to deliver means all subsequent position updates must wait.
If you use unreliable / unordered connections then whatever the most recent arrived message is can just instantly apply even if a prior message was lost.

A dark oddity of the internet is that rawpixel is selling a number of premium "remixed by rawpixel" paintings by Adolf Hitler.
If you search for "castle painting" it's the 2nd result so likely many people are unknowingly using it.

I've had a weird thought brewing for a while. I think taste is such a human social experience that it's largely created by creators & critics.
People like things other people like, and unless we come to accept AI as people they can't fill that role.

So I think we may find that great art & design needs a human in the loop to resonate because the human author is actually part of the product.
Consumption of media, even alone, is a social act and a beautifully crafted product may lose crucial appeal when it comes from the void.

Right now I have basically two long running projects:
1. Make a cute tiny games website.
2. Take a swing at a small contribution to the singularity.

Whenever I forget to forcefully instruct Astra to not add lots of random text it goes off and does the weirdest things.
In what world should a mini golf game say "READ THE RISE" in an indent in the ground?

Pelicans are benchmaxxed. Apparently the next frontier is spiders.
Astra's output when I asked it to jazz up a Spider Solitaire thumbnail:

I've been using AI a huge amount, with the latest models, and my impression is still that they have good coding ability, tremendous speed, and poor taste.
Some of the games I've had them one-shot come out remarkably bad prior to heavy taste-injecting guidance.

I think the gov. disrespecting copyright is partially for the memes and partially to undermine the cultural weight & power of industries seen as unaligned politically.
At what point does a government's flagrant disregard for their own copyright laws render them unenforceable as a whole for the general public?

What are your favorite unusual elements of your studio/study/office? Drown me in inspo please!
I'm renting a little space for myself as an experiment: never had a creative space of my own, always a shared office or tiny corner of a shared bedroom. Excited to see what happens to my practice when I play idiosyncratic environmental dictator.
One element I'm really liking so far is a big dedicated writing/reading desk with no computer. Putting up a big 8'x6' pin-up wall next.
