New research project: Lluminate - an evolutionary algorithm that helps LLMs break free from generating predictable, similar outputs. Combining evolutionary principles with creative thinking strategies can illuminate the space of possibilities. https://t.co/lNdFtvjlcm

My go to challenge for image editing models. All still fail for the open ended generative workflows I would want.

A++ memes and torch wizardry from Elana! I learned a lot. It’s clear when someone blogs out of a desire to teach others and not just flex.

FROM BREEDING IMAGES TO INTERROGATING REALITY: The @ganbrood Story Our new interview reveals how early Artbreeder experiments shaped his entire artistic philosophy... Read below 👇

If matter can't be created from nothing then where did our universe of matter come from?

Conducted a short interview with @PasanenJenni on the importance of @Artbreeder and the work of @_joelsimon Emphasizing the importance of the Latent Lineages collection he created for the @automataisart debut in Basel is…

It's an exceptional group with uniques ideas and directions. It's still growing and hiring ML researchers and engineers.

I'll still maintain Artbreeder, but my focus has returned to my original passion: large-scale collaborative and emergent systems for helping us create the unimaginable.

Ken's / collaborators' research has been a huge inspiration for my projects—floorplans used NEAT, corals used novelty search, GANbreeder was named after Picbreeder. So it's special to come full circle and work on this and future research directly.

Excited to share that I'm joining Ken's lab at Lila to research open-endedness and explore the future of human/agent collaborative systems for science, creativity and discovery! 🧪🤖

Instead of better prompt-following, we need simple, composable tools that let artists sculpt their own loss functions, create custom brushes, build their own creative processes. Otherwise it's production, not expression.

PoV: Normal Friday in ML research

The creative process is open ended and emergent. Creation starts with intuitions that get resolved along the journey. Prompts require pre-articulated ideas.

When artists like Pollock invented a style, they create entirely new processes - custom tools, specific paints, body movements, etc. Current AI tools lock artists in existing latent spaces and it's caging their creative potential for creating new styles.

Artbreeder, created by @_joelsimon in 2018, was the first widely accessible tool for AI image generation. Early AI artists @ganbrood @ClaireSilver12 @PasanenJenni discovered their voices on this foundational platform. His new series Latent Lineages visualizes how it works ↓

A Letter to the Free World, In this time of conflict, I want to remind Westerners that Russia, while they are a belligerent and abhorrent state, has no real access to Western media as Russia blocks their Internet as much as possible from Western news sources. They have no idea

This is very significant! ArtBreeder was the pioneer of collaborative AI-art platforms, where everybody interconnected their work - great visualisation of human culture in the intertextual meaning of post-structuralists. I wish I'd see these works IRL!

Really excited to be featuring the work of artist / engineer / inventor @_joelsimon. His @Artbreeder spawned some of the earliest works of AI artists @ganbrood @ClaireSilver12 @PasanenJenni
