Exciting news! The full model card for Muse Spark came out today, and it includes an eval I worked on, with Charlemagne Labs: a Social Engineering eval, based on a detailed threat model for peer model selection and simulated adversarial conversations ai.meta.com/static-resou...
Oh boy. GPT 5.4 achieves SOTA on desktop computer use - and exceeds human performance Bad news for humans and who get paid to use computers. Was expecting something like this later this year, but nothing this strong, this soon.
spooky stuff in the Claude 4.6 system card re: cyber risks - "Internal testing demonstrated qualitative capabilities beyond what these evaluations capture, including signs of capabilities we expected to appear further in the future and that previous models have been unable to demonstrate."
#genuary day 2 #genuary2026 "12 Principles of Animation" this one turned out well - uv-mapping, noise, blur, and feedback in hydra.js. music is max/MSP + some arturia vsts. code: tinyurl.com/5uua22kh
made my first hydra sketch for #genuary this year src: tinyurl.com/3fek9sy6 prompt: "One color, one shape." basically I'm adapting @xordev.com's spiral blur shader to vary radius dynamically, and driving that with low frequency noise
I made another vlog-format post about lissajous curves and bloom shaders in webgl:
xpost from my IG: I made a tutorial video on how I make generative music with code #synthsky #generative #creativecoding #glitchart
very excited to share this collaboration with @fractalkitty.com for #mathtober's day 15 prompt, "Chord" - Sophia built this gorgeous visualization of rose curves in p5.js accompanied by my circle-of-fifths composition in CLAVIER-36
I still have not been able to encode video from this one adequately, but this is a still from the hydra sketch I was working on this weekend
I drove through the Palouse once (my bf is from Lewiston) and it was one of the most geologically idiosyncratic places I’ve ever been, like science-fictional
hacking around in hydra, a js/shader based video synth today - music is in max/msp (a simpler version of my clavier/orca setup) ran into a file size limit uploading this, we'll see how the encoding handles this much ✨🌈🌀✨ #synthsky #creativecoding #generative
made another clavier-36 post, working on adding more harmonic movement with "one dumb trick" #livecoding #generative #synthsky #creativecoding
xpost from my IG - sound on - I made a tutorial about glitch effects in clavier-36 still working on my render/etc chain, lmk if it's illegible etc #livecoding #creativecoding #generative
Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains
livecoding in CLAVIER-36 this afternoon. playing random notes on 3 midi channels, plus 6 channels of random midi cc to drive a physical simulation. running into 3 instance of korg multi-poly. #generative #genartclub #synthsky #creativecoding
New profile pic! From a live set in Brooklyn in Wonderville, such an honor to get to perform with the amazing @livecodenyc.bsky.social folks. The artist on my left is Goma Xantana, go check her IG out, she is remarkably talented and I hope we get to collaborate again
Not to snark, bc this is a good joke! But as a fan I have to point out that Prince famously produced his own records. And did a fair amount of his own engineering too, the way he makes drum machines sound is so magical ✨ 🥁 🤖
I hear the video quality is better now? Held off on uploading this piece I made a few weeks ago, p5.js + ORCA. No shaders, surprisingly. How does it look? #creativecoding #generative #generativeart #p5js
