exploring the concept of play as form of a 3 body problem... play can be seen through a lens of creation, consumption or competition, or wherever the gravity is strongest it shifts our concept, definition or perception of it...

Aquarium V.0.1 :
- Create spaces where the space acts as a set of system prompts triggered by collision.
- Connect spaces with spaces from others
- Launch Thoughts, Ideas into space
- Thoughts, Ideas move freely

=> See new thoughts emerge based on collision...

Thought Aquarium V0.1
Say hi to my Aquarium. It's what happens when you get tired of having the same shitty ideas as everyone else.

anyone has good papers about how AI sees inside of game? Like does an enemy in a game just sees through the fog of war or a wall but is just dumbed down?

What if our relentless pursuit of quantifiable certainty, from crypto's "decentralized Excel" to GDP's selective vision, builds systems on simplified metaphors that increasingly clash with lived experience.

Value Glitch
Our current systems (especially economic/metric-driven ones) oversimplify a complex, "quantum-like" reality. This leads to a crisis of value and understanding. Embracing incompleteness and "play" (ran...

Nearmata V0.1

AI forces my thinking into a straight line instead of helping me expand on my thoughts. Nearmata V0.1 is a prototype: it takes a lingering thought as seed and uses an LLM to build a branching “thought map.”

HAWK AI DOWN

Or a very late Sunday night experiment, because I need to be creative (work (yes on a sunday)). You give it a prompt and then shoot the birds, each bird is a different system prompt to evolve your idea/thought.

Mini Mapping Tool

you give it a a starting prompt and then navigate and evolve a graph in front of your eyes with your keyboard, wasd for evolution, ←↑→↓ for navigation.

A new use case I found quite helpful for myself is to build small tools that help me understand concepts. Bonus what I realized those explanations often work great as starting points for tool building.

Aquarium v.0.0.3

Thoughts are moving freely and constantly explore their relationships to create a knowledge graph but now you can also chat with the graph itself for insights...

Aquarium v.0.0.2

You can submit a thought and it gets broken down into archetypes, ideas, and insights. All of them move freely but then when they collide they either evolve, merge, spawn new ones etc.

Thoughts are like little fishs, sometimes they bond together and spawn new ones, sometimes they create a design brief

I wanted to figure out how I can break out of my own box. What happens if AI plays more freely with my thoughts. So I created myself an idea aquarium. Thoughts now flow freely, create bonds, spawn new ones, and sometimes create design briefs...

Notes on Play #010. Or the actual mother of all questions that drives me to write a zine about the future of play. I love LEGO but I really want to understand what made me take my sets apart and see the brick for its possbilities.
