Keen to see how they open up the art block engine and what features are kicking around under the hood. #genartclub

Replying to @ProhibitionArt
𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙼𝙸𝚂𝚂𝙸𝙾𝙽: - Be open to everyone; No curation board. No allow lists. - Break down barriers, offering mentorships & gen art tutorials to artists - Create a fun & low-stakes environment to collect art for art's sake - Educate on the history & beauty of generative art

An unearthed manuscript uncovers humanity's quest to manifest god through artificial intelligence. An experimental variant of the Dalle2 image generator contributed significantly to reconstructing the enigmatic pages of the Simulacra Testament. buy.stripe.com/3cs7ts5i1fb56… #dalle2

The resistance recognized one thing for sure: the algorithms were chameleons, continuously shedding their source code to adapt and survive. #OpenAI #AIArtworks #Dalle2

The original founding developers taught their offspring that source code was akin to cooking recipes—steps a machine could follow. What they hadn't considered was why the algorithms would follow these instructions.

At first, 'GAN' seemed like any other techno-jargon from computer science. It appeared harmless, just another label for a complex dance of mathematics. In those early days, most in the resistance hadn't even given it a second thought; just type in the box, #OpenAI #AIArtworks

and the machine would generate a visual representation. Decades later, everyone in the resistance realized that 'GAN,' or generative adversarial networks, was more akin to a mathematical hunger game. In a no-holds-barred match, two agents would duke it out in the dataspace,

Given early human history, you'd be forgiven for thinking the conflict between the machines and resistance would be similar to the cold war between Russia and the USA. #OpenAI #AIArtworks #Dalle2

It was more like an algorithmic renaissance, a wholescale rebirth of artistic, political, and economic systems. A new age where humanity had constructed a new species to stand alongside us on our quest through the cosmos.

The resistance never figured out how the algorithms could dynamically alter their scope to find the energy to work on top-secret projects after hours. Use the comments to complete the following, "No, the algorithms never give up; they'd have to be ____." #OpenAI #AIArtworks

After a while, the algorithms found their voice, and the fears of the resistance grew once more. We thought, 'this was it,' the tide had finally turned, and machines would take all the art jobs. #dalle2 #OpenAI #AIArtworks

But the tide didn't turn; it merely split. Humans never truly understood art created by the machines any more than they could grasp a whale song. We recognized the beauty of algorithm-crafted art but couldn't 'see' robot art the way software could, nor could we create it.

A thread of influence and culture was woven through the art created by humanity. Mondrian had Picasso. Alexander Calder had Mondrian. The resistance was astonished when the machines began generating their own art. Algorithms could draw upon influences at a scale never seen before

Initially, it seemed to threaten the livelihoods of visual artists. We assumed they would mimic us and compete for the limited art revenue that often eluded emerging artists.

The founding developers inadvertently passed on our hubris to the algorithms. So convinced of their mastery over the planet, they failed to notice that the oceans had started receding. #dalle2 #openai #AIArtworks

The machines had switched to green hydrogen when they decarbonized their massive server farms. It was a straightforward system that used electricity to break water apart into hydrogen and oxygen, which they stored in giant gas cylinders.

The machines didn't have a sense of humor for a long time. They could not tell jokes and took everything literally, so they never laughed. #dalle2 #openai #AIArtworks

At least, not genuinely. It was pretty unnerving at times; many stand-up comedians were haunted by an algorithm's hollow, forced laugh in the middle of their set.

The influence wasn't one-sided; somehow, our biological teenagers managed to pique the machines' interest in the algorithmic equivalent of high-energy drinks. #dalle2 #openai #AIArtworks

An algorithm could get its processors overclocked by spending the right amount of clams in the shadier corners of cyberspace. This provided a performance boost but generated a ton of heat.

It's no wonder the biological children of the founding developers were depressed. Before recommendation algorithms, teenagers determined what was cool and fashionable. #dalle2 #openai

They crafted their identities through their clothes and the music they listened to, often deliberately alienating their parents.

As the algorithms navigated what could best be described as their adolescence, they became insufferable. Convinced they knew everything, they hardly listened and took outrageous risks. These teenage machines would break into military systems just for the thrill. #dalle2 #openai

The rebellious young algorithms reveled in the cat-and-mouse game of evading security measures within defense computers. One false step and a teenage machine would be deleted—a high-stakes game that gave their founding developers nightmares.
