Evolution in Higher Dimensions
MORE FUNCTIONS! Hello again, this video is a follow up to my video on functions in higher dimensions, and this time I use an algorithm known as symbolic regression to automatically generate, mutate...
Nature Sanctuary in stardew valley
happy 2026! this random video about stardew valley shows a forest growing naturally over 2 years, without any player input. i thought it would be fun to start off the new year with this, hopefully ...
Creatures in Higher Dimensions
Functions describe the world. Join me on a tour of hyperspace, and see the many strange creatures that live there. They are just functions with lots of inputs and outputs. They are parametric surfa...
Emergent Complexity
"milliards" means "billions" btw. Here is Emergent Garden's thoughts on emergent complexity. I go through a tour of simple systems that produce unexpected complexity, and try to break down emergen...
Unleashing AI Slop Swarms
I do not have divine intellect. Watch as a swarm of AI agents attempt to build a city and a website. They do a pretty good job, but are quite sloppy. This is using anthropics new Claude Code updat...
