Science fiction promised us an #AI that wakes up already inside a finished body.What's happening on my desk is the opposite: a home AI growing a body one actuator at a time I wrote about the engineering,and about which doors you keep shut on purpose.Out now in #TowardsAI medium.com/towards-arti...

Found these two cherries catching a perfect pocket of harsh sunlight against the dark bark of the tree. Dropping a little summer mood onto the timeline. Hope everyone is having a productive week of shooting! 📸🍒 #photography #naturephotography

Found these two cherries catching a perfect pocket of harsh sunlight against the dark bark of the tree. The texture contrast between the smooth, glossy fruit and the rough wood was just too good to pass up.

Dropping a little summer mood onto the timeline. Hope everyone is having a productive week of shooting!

Capturing the beauty in the details. The contrast between the vibrant pink petals and the dark backdrop creates an almost theatrical mood in this frame. 📸 A little bit of #macrophotography to brighten the timeline. #nature ✨

I never wrote a hide-and-seek function. I said the word, and the AI I built in my house knew what to do: it moved its cameras, reasoned by elimination, and found me behind a cabinet. Nobody scripted it. It emerged from the parts. New essay, honest and hype-free: medium.com/@gianlucabai...

A high-action, close-up photograph of a powerful ocean wave breaking. The crest of the wave is a chaotic explosion of white foam and spray, transitioning into deep turquoise and emerald green water. The lighting emphasizes the translucent quality of the water and the intricate textures of the sea spray against the darker, churning depths of the Mediterranean sea.

"A detailed, dynamic AI-generated illustration of a cyborg woman with long, vibrant red hair and cybernetic limbs running with determination. Her artificial parts are slick with rain. She's running on a wet, rain-streaked asphalt street in a dense cyberpunk city. Towering buildings are covered in glowing blue and red neon signs with Japanese characters like '未来製薬' (Future Pharmaceuticals), and a blue car with headlights on is behind her. The perspective is low and frontal, capturing her motion. The style is highly rendered, near-anime realism.

I asked Claude Opus 4.6 to invent a Commodore 64 game from scratch. It designed METEOR STORM, wrote 1,654 lines of C, debugged its own memory crash, and shipped in 90 minutes. One human hint. github.com/dexmac221/C64AIToolChain #AI #RetroComputing #Commodore64 #GameDev

AI writes C64 code → compiles → injects into VICE emulator → game plays itself → VLM screenshots and analyzes the screen → AI fixes bugs → repeat. No human in the loop! Tested with Claude 4.6 building Arkanoid from scratch. 🔗 ai.gopubby.com/claude-4-6-a... #AI #Commodore64 #Claude #AIAgents
