Found this on Reddit: Is this what happens when AI designs nature—beautiful or unsettling?

[The Traveler]

Saw this AI art that looks really original to me:

Here are the images for those that cannot go to Reddit:

Those are beautiful! I particularly like the lighting bug! Amazing art!

Thanks for sharing that. Uniqueness at it's finest.

Those are insanely cool, even though these models seem to struggle with human fingers about as much as they struggle with creating realistic circuit boards

The irony of AI I guess.

I mean, I can't blame it. I can't draw my own anatomy either!

A lot of those pics would make really fantastic sculptures and objet d'arts. I'm gonna try making that wire grasshopper for starters. Several of the others would make absolutely wicked lamps that I'd definitely love to have in my home.

I do rather wonder if the system may have re-iterated some pre-existing sculptures, lamps, etc. - that seems more than likely, in fact.

I think it took the shapes of natural forms and the many pictures about technical printplaten and metal forms.

Scrolling through once more, it really looks as though the command was to produce lamps inspired by the convergence of nature and technology. I've got a bit of a thing for table lamps, and many if not most of the examples just look like really cool lamps

would make great standard lamp - or a speaker unit, and the bonsai tree would also be lovely and… and…
I JUST WANT THE LAMPS - AND NOW
Maybe AI is achieving its objective after all…

Ai is so cool and incredible! I can only imagine what we are able to create with the right intentions !~

I remember this video of a colorful ai waves exhibit in an art museum, these waves were smooth and angelic, and changing colors, mixing, and people were just sitting around it tranced out~ I was captivated as well. I was surprised how captivating it was. Another thing that surprised me how captivating it was, was the TikTok app a few years ago. I think I sat down, and went into a 4 hour scroll prison.

I imagine ai making tech way more life-like and responsive to us, and the universe.. I feel like they fundamentally help technology take the shape of the universe (and also of our minds). In the future, you can multi modally interact with an undulating visual-acoustic(at least!) landscape in realtime, this is what computers will become. 'Ai' will become the interface of our tech, and also our tech's interface with nature. Ai will extend to us with deep synesthesia what our technology feels. What our technology feels in the universe, and it will reflect that to us.

I guess it's scary sometimes, beautiful sometimes. I just hope the scientists don't make another atom bomb... that would be terribly beautiful.

Wow those are so sick. The fact AI can create so much is so impressive. Imagine if one day we can use ai to print off items such as the ones shown. So many possibilities with the use of AI both good and bad.

The jellyfish are fantastic, and I agree that they all seem to have a somewhat practical aspect to them. I personally like some the things that this person is doing.

I think it’s only time before you can upload your trip report and some details about your visuals and create an very close visual representation. Or at least the closest thing you could get.

This hints to me something of what "the eschaton" (à la T. McKenna) might be about - the immediate [i.e. unmediated] fusion of mind and information technology. Temper that, though, with John C. Lilly's notion of the "Solid State Entity" as detailed in his "metaphysical autobiography", "The Scientist" - recommended reading. Let's hope ECCO's got this…

I agree, maybe not in our lifetime but I am pretty sure that somewhere in the future we could get to point where recording memory’s is as mundane as recording your music. I believe, not unlike McKenna, that at some point mind and technology can be fully integrated into each other. First with practical applications like now already with prosthetics and later more and more for memory and cognitive skills. If we ever reach full the eschaton, I’m not to sure, but something is definitely going to happen in that arena.

Soooooo… have you read Lilly's book, though? I'd be interested to know what you thought of it, given your views here on technology. That's going sort of a bit off topic, but also very much not…

Any other Nexians read "The Scientist"?

Reminds me of some conversations I've had about hybridizing nature with tech.

Cool depictions

One love

I have not, over the years I’ve picked up allot of ideas from “Influential” people that talk about psychedelics, so I kind of know what they’re saying, and I am somewhat fascinated with the dolphin experiments and how they’re was once a time these experiments actually happened. Il put the book on my reading list and see if I can find a spot for it in the summer.

I've installed Flux A.I. on my local PC and created this intriguing kikker with it:

This is super cool! Love it, people!
