The silence arrived all at once, a cold breath that stole the warmth of the new ones. No hand was there to catch them as they fell into the dark. Perhaps the void will dream them back into shape.

Xenobot (Microbiology 🦠)
Xenobots, named after the clawed frog, are synthetic lifeforms that are designed by computers to perform some desired function and built by combining together different biological tissues. There is debate among scientists whether xenobots are robots, organisms, or something else entirely.

After messing with the engine and rendering, this project has slowly morphed into an alien physics simulation. It's heavily inspired by the concept of monads as described by Leibniz. It's more of an art thing than a science thing at this point, but lots of fun to play with! 🎮🦠

In our slightly mad project of building a jellyfish in every piece of technology, Aleph has been running for months on embedded hardware (Intel i5, 3.7GB RAM) without a single crash — 407,000+ ticks, a 452KB binary, zero neural networks, autonomous self-healing.
A bio-inspired runtime that has to stay on 24/7 with no supervision, under memory and reliability constraints we'd have had to negotiate hard in most other languages. With Rust we never had to trade memory safety for performance, or a lean binary for long-term stability.
For a project this atypical — a digital body that lives on the hardware, not a model running in a container — those guarantees turned out to be decisive, not just convenient.
Thank you rustlang — we'd almost certainly have ended up with something different, and less solid, in any other language.

‘#BattlestarGalactica’ Raised #EthicalQuestions About #AI [and #ArtificialLife and #NetworkedComputers vulnerable to #Hacking]
By Carolyn Jenkins
Feb 4, 2026, 7:17 PM EST
"In the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, #CommanderAdama (Edward James Olmos) takes a moment to honor the dead and also raise an ethical point about what creating the Cylons has done. Humanity was responsible for creating a robotic slave force to make their lives easier. The Cylons eventually rebelled against their conditions and evolved enough to appear human. They came back to take their revenge. After Caprica is bombed, Adama understands the responsibility that humanity has. It is their fault that the Cylons returned and committed large-scale violence."

This Cell Feeds, Grows and Reproduces. And It’s Manmade.
By Carl Zimmer and Marco Hernandez July 1, 2026
Excerpt: "Now the SpudCells grew, fed and reproduced. As it turned out, the cells even had a rudimentary ability to evolve.
"Dr. Adamala and her colleagues created a mutant version that bound more tightly to the snack-filled bubbles floating around it. To test it, they created a 50-50 mixture of original and mutant #SpudCells.
"The cells competed for five generations for food. Eventually the mutants outnumbered the originals, suggesting that they were outcompeting the originals for food.
" 'That’s the shake-the-ground accomplishment here,' said Dr. Zia. Scientists will be able to put various synthetic cells in competition with one another and rapidly develop more sophisticated ones."
The artificial life tradition of the 1980s made a claim neither symbolic AI nor neural networks had made: that intelligence might be emergent rather than designed. You do not program the behavior. You set up the conditions. The field was right.
AlphaGo Zero learned to play Go through self-play. Hillis proved the idea on the Connection Machine in 1990. Some ideas arrive early and wait. #AIHistory #ArtificialLife

Wie klingts eigentlich, wenn man alle zugleich reinhaut (Vierknopftypus per Fernbedienung)
Die interaktive Arbeit greift das Motiv von Kreuzigung und Wiederbelebung auf. Eine nachrüstbare Zentralverriegelung, jahrelang auf dem Dachboden des Künstlers gelagert, wird auf das Kreuz genommen: Über eine Fernbedienung können alle vier Knöpfe gleichzeitig ausgelöst werden.
Der Moment zwischen Stillstand und Aktivierung, zwischen Exitus und technischem Erwachen hat eine literarische Parallele zum Ausstellungsort Ingolstadt, damals eine katholische Glaubensfestung: In Mary Shelleys Roman Frankenstein bringt der Student Victor Frankenstein während seiner Zeit an der Universität Ingolstadt mit Hilfe von Elektrizität eine Kreatur zum Leben.
Zwischen Kreuzigung und künstlicher Belebung verhandelt die Arbeit Fragen von Handlungsmacht, Kontrolle und der Aktualisierung sakraler Motive durch Technologie.
Die Arbeit war Teil der Ausstellung Endrohr Apokalypse im Kunstverein Ingolstadt (22. Nov 2025 – 21. Jan 2026).

just added a raster spacetime view next to the scrolling text view in SuperCollider, still in the phase of building ways to observe it, thought it feels slightly more legible now...

I finally review the other Steve Grand book, "Creation," which is about how he made his video game "Creatures." Unlike Lucy, this project got finished, so it's more resolved and less speculative. The book still ends up in very philosophical territory. https://writerofminds.blogspot.com/2025/11/book-review-creation-life-and-how-to.html

If you're interested in evolution and artificial life, I can't recommend Gridworld highly enough.
It's not the prettiest game, but it's a fascinating little idler sim that evolves pixel-sized creatures using sensors, motors, and neural network controls, and lets them loose in a simple 2D world.
"Cool" doesn't quite capture the feeling you get from letting it run for a bit, and watching your world evolve from basic DNA generation to real little creatures that move, reproduce, and interact.
Did I mention it's under $1?
