<div dir="ltr">Coolness! Is it only writing? or going to advances in 3D where Ai shows some promise to do as well or better than mere mortal humans? Because a computes is coming to a practical wall of cost, amount of silicon and chip density. Is reaching a practical limit from power draw to to expenses. Ai, Tensor Cores, and asynchronous computing clocks at the system and chip levels, are looking to need Ai to coordinate things as well as boost power and blah blah blah. A fall out of that is Neuronets do weirdly great and vastly accelerating compute times in raytracing, and ray marching. I assume people on this list can Eli5 to me why. <div>I seem to recall somewhat recently, someone showing off how Ai can do some amount of 3D modelling. Anyone know anything about that? I think it was a proof of concept. Someone from MIT and Nvidia shows how a neuronet if given some kind of description did a not to bad job making buildings and some limited simulated physics. I don't know anything about the stupendous effort that'd go into that though.</div><div>Onestep closer to star trek! LOL, oh c'mon you know we're thinking it.

<p>My hack at the basics of an announcement for Gabriel/Wetdtech.<br>
</p>
<p>Our FriAM member-at-large, Jenny Quillen is visiting Santa Fe
this week and has Richard Gabriel in tow. He has agreed to give
a WedTech talk this week (10/19) and the nominal topic will be on
AI and Creativity, using examples from his Poetry Generator:
Inkwell.</p>
<p>Some of you know Richard's long and storied history and career
much better than I, so I will just drop a few links in here for
those who do not:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Richard Gabriel's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_P._Gabriel" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Wikipedia
page</a></p>

<p><a href="https://dreamsongs.com/Files/InkWell.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Inkwell</a> <br>
</p>
<p>and a scholarly reflection on <a href="http://www.natureoforder.com/library/nature-of-poetic-order.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">The
Nature of Poetic Order</a> which reflects on many of the ideas
from Christopher Alexander's Opus: the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nature_of_Order" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">Nature
of Order</a> in the context of poetry, what makes it work, and
what makes it fail. Among many other things, Gabriel has been a
significant figure in the Pattern's community.</p></blockquote>
