Color Therapy. Noisy evolution.

Two snapshots of my piece C-SCAPE, 2022, a multi-organism 1.5D cellular automata simulation. Patterns of symbiosis and annihilation.

I used to think I needed to write code where every image generated matched the concept I had in mind. Now I can accept that I can write simpler code, generate a large number of images, and select the small number that resonate with me and the idea I had going in, which is what I did here. It doesn't have to be hard. It can be, if you want it to be, if you enjoy the challenge. But it doesn't have to be.

Released as a single humongous monolithic pull request within a week since opening, the kind of ad-hoc, uncoordinated, trigger-happy, just-because-we-can attitude of the #Bun "LLM Rust rewrite" is so symbolic of the cultural shift many people & orgs are undergoing, where their focus has moved almost exclusively to quantity & speed-to-market (aka "higher productivity"), completely shoving aside long-term goals and considerations, incl. design principles/strategies, maintainability, safety, but also so many social aspects (e.g. organically grown community/staff, organizational skills/knowledge/understanding, much of it tacit, sometimes built up over decades), consideration of downstream effects, compatibility/composability, other costs (not just your own) etc.

All of these things, this loss of culture, seem to be treated as easily sacrificable third-class factors, or components which are simply assumed to be automatable (and therefore replaceable, unnecessary) in the new mindset. It's uncanny!

The engine can't/mustn't be slowed or halted, and it needs more fodder! Only with maximum speed can we accelerate it enough to jump over the coming chasm, straight into the singularity...

In these developments, I too see very strong parallels to a similar goldrush mindset which emerged during the NFT years and has changed digital/algorithmic/generative art for years to come, and which has similarly 180° reorientated the focus, work & value systems of many artists/peers...

(Update: minor edits for clarity...)
