I’m going to share with you a technique I’ve found for doing lazy, reliable, deterministic, constant-time infinite generation of tile based levels using Wave Function Collapse (WFC). Bu…| BorisTheBrave.Com
Everyone loves the Townscaper grid. It’s got a a nice organic look, while still being quadrilateral tiles, somewhat regular, and reasonably easy to implement. But it has some annoyances. I’ve finally managed to find my own design of grid that has a very similar look, but fixes these problems.| BorisTheBrave.Com

I got a good comment on my previous article about implementing the Game of Life in CUDA pointing out that I was leaving a lot of performance at the table by only considering a single step at once. …| BorisTheBrave.Com
A couple of people have mentioned to me: “we need more fiction examples of positive AI superintelligence – utopias like the Culture novels”. And they’re right, AI can be tremendously positive, and some beacons lit into the future could help make that come around. But one of my hobbies is “oppositional reading” – deliberately interpreting […]| BorisTheBrave.Com
Let’s look at implementing Conway’s Game of Life using a graphics card. I want to experiment with different libraries and techniques, to see how to get the best performance. I’m g…| BorisTheBrave.Com

This year I’ve been on sabbatical, and have spent my time upskilling in AI Safety. Part of that is doing independent research projects in different fields. Some of those items have resulted in useful output, notably A Toy Model of the U-AND Problem, Do No Harm? and SAEs and their Variants. And then there are others that I’ve just […]| BorisTheBrave.Com
Looking a little ahead into the future, I think LLMs are going to stop being focused on knowledgeable, articulate chatbots, but instead be more efficient models that are weaker in these areas than current models, but relatively stronger at reasoning, a pure-reasoner model. The rest will be bolted on via tool-use and other scaffolding. Read more on […]| BorisTheBrave.Com
In procedural generation, the absolute simplest, most common technique is randomly picking an item from a list. More often than not, it is a weighted random choice, where each item is selected with…| BorisTheBrave.Com
