I took the framework from Arbor and dialed up the difficulty to create this next piece, which slowly ramps up the rhythmic complexity until it approaches something like Frank Zappa's The Black Page.
It probably won't be everyone's cup of tea, but to the right kind of music nerd, trying to follow along and figure out how it works can be really hypnotizing. It's called Banyan.
Claude struggled to write my kind of music (theory-heavy music for nerds lol) until Opus 5.5. I asked for a motif passed from one player to the next and reinterpreted, with a solo from each instrument demonstrating specific techniques, and it made this piece, Ouroboros. Then I had it animate the video using tools I've built over the past year while reverse-engineering music to study theory.

Here's a notebook for reproducing the effect.

I'm still at a bit of a loss as to what's actually going on here. It's almost like the network weights are being corrupted by pmap somehow, but it's strange that it modifies the image in such a striking way.
My current guess is that it's somehow related to this (Rank promotion warning), which throws an exception if I set the error level to 'raise'.

But what tensors are being reshaped incorrectly, and where? 🤔
Transfer learning the pretrained GNR checkpoint on my furry dataset, before the heat wave forced me to stop training because my GPU was heating up my apartment too much.

Finally, @Kettukaa has launched a store for his foxy AI-generated art!
I'm amazed at how quickly he's managed to learn and apply all the different ML skills involved in creating these.
Check it out and consider supporting him.

I opened up an art store! To support a college student and get your hands on some beautiful fox art, please check out my store at Kettukaa.redbubble.com !

AI Generated Furries?? I had a blast making this video and @arfafax I absolutely love the AI you've made!!

GAN training shows an "aha!" moment, when fakes *suddenly* look like reals during training!
Embeddings: 🔴 Reals. 🔵 Fakes, with image samples on the right.
▫️ Generator creates a fake that looks a bit real
▫️ Discriminator has learned enough to start providing useful feedback
Here's the notebook for playing around with this. I believe @SkyLi0n is planning on releasing a more feature-complete version with some optimizations eventually.
