If artists dare to offer the limits of their deepest captures to the unlimited potential of reality... If the hero advances guided solely by the compass of his heart towards his nemesis...
The dreamer does the same: what they all have in common is that they are a bridge, a limited link between two infinities: that of the most irrational psychic depths and the rawest matter.

A quotation from Bradbury, Ray
We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled.
The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.
Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) American writer, futurist, fabulist
“The Secret Mind,” The Writer (1965-11)

AMAZON IS BEING FLOODED WITH BOOKS ENTIRELY WRITTEN BY AI
And it's the same story with music produced by AI on Spotify/deezer, AI generated photos flooding stock images libraries... Etc.. 😢
The end of the world is nigh my friends.https://futurism.com/the-byte/amazon-flooded-books-written-by-ai
Let's not forget: dreams are not an escape, but the noblest material for building life in concrete terms, in places where until now we have been subjected to it.
Manifesting the inner in the outer is to enrich it by creating...

" new ideas, in a world where the man of the hour reigns supreme, are often seen as heresy, blasphemy, madness or, in lesser cases, originality. They are often like flowers growing on the slurry of crass obscurantism. "

GPT-4 scored in the top 1% (relative to humans) on a creativity test.
"Dr. Erik Guzik, an assistant clinical professor in UM's College of Business, and his partners used the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, a well-known tool used for decades to assess human creativity."
"The researchers submitted eight responses generated by ChatGPT, the application powered by the GPT-4 artificial intelligence engine. They also submitted answers from a control group of 24 UM students taking Guzik's entrepreneurship and personal finance classes. These scores were compared with 2,700 college students nationally who took the TTCT in 2016. All submissions were scored by Scholastic Testing Service, which didn't know AI was involved."
"The results placed ChatGPT in elite company for creativity. The AI application was in the top percentile for fluency -- the ability to generate a large volume of ideas -- and for originality -- the ability to come up with new ideas. The AI slipped a bit -- to the 97th percentile -- for flexibility, the ability to generate different types and categories of ideas."
The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking is a basically a test of "divergent" thinking. Normally when you take a test, it's a "convergent" test, meaning there's a specific, correct answer that students are expected to "converge" on. If the question is, what's 2 + 2, everyone is supposed to converge on 4. With a "divergent thinking" test, there's no "correct" answer and the more "divergent" the answer(s) given, the better.
In the case of the TTCT, there's a series of tasks, classified as "verbal tasks using verbal stimuli", "verbal tasks using non-verbal stimuli", and "non-verbal tasks". In the "verbal tasks using verbal stimuli" category are such tasks as "unusual uses" (name all the uses you can think of for tin cans and books), "impossibilities" (list as many impossible things as you can), "consequences" (list out consequences to improbable situations), "just suppose" (list out consequences after a new or unknown variable is injected into a situation), "situations" (given problems, think of as many solutions as possible), "common problems" (given situations, think of as many problems as possible that could arise in those situations), "improvement" (given common objects, list as many ways as you can to improve each object), "the Mother Hubbard problem" (Mother Hubbard has 12 children and each child needs ...), "imaginative stories" (write the most interesting and exciting story you can think of at this exact moment), and "cow jumping" (think of all possible things which might have happened when the cow jumped over the moon).
In the "verbal tasks using nonverbal stimuli" category, we have such tasks as "ask and guess" (ask as many questions as you can about a picture which cannot be answered by looking at the picture), "product improvement" (given a toy, think of as many improvements as you can which would make it more fun), and "unusual uses" (think of the most unusual uses of a toy, other than as a toy".
In the "non-verbal tasks" category we have such tasks as "incomplete figures" (add lines to a figure), "picture construction" (given a simple shape, construct a picture of which that shape is an integral part), "circles and squares" (given a page full of circles, make objects that have circles as a major part of them, then given a page full of squares, do the same thing), "creative design" (given circles, strips, scissors, and glue, construct creative designs -- somehow I doubt GPT-4 was given this one).
The submissions are scored for fluency (total number of responses with responses deemed uninterpretable, meaningless, or irrelevant thrown out), flexibility (the number of different categories of relevant responses), originality (the statistical rarity of the responses), and elaboration (the amount of detail in the responses).
"Guzik said the TTCT is protected proprietary material, so ChatGPT couldn't 'cheat' by accessing information about the test on the internet or in a public database."
"Guzik said he asked ChatGPT what it would indicate if it performed well on the TTCT." "ChatGPT told us we may not fully understand human creativity, which I believe is correct. It also suggested we may need more sophisticated assessment tools that can differentiate between human and AI-generated ideas."

We create a lot of hell for ourselves when, instead of finding creative solutions, we insist on cursing creation. However, a curiosity of language shows us that if we invert the letters of the word Evil, we will see the dawn of the Live.

Unreal Engine 5 is both easy and very challenging. It is easy in that most of what you want to do is all menus, settings, layers, and selecting from some amazing 3rd party textures, materials, etc.
The challenging part comes in actually understanding what you are doing. There are literally tons of settings (I mean countless) and the power really comes once you get to understand about 15% of that. I’m still on around 2 or 3%, but I do have a basic island with a landscape, a lake and a river (sort of). As you keep busy with it, you realise there are better ways to do most things. So beyond 15% knowledge, and you start to do things quicker and better.
Apart from just creating islands and any other landscape or structure you can think of, there is 1st or 3rd person gaming views, cinematic and animation, VR, and lost more. It makes Lego look like kids play.
I’m also doing it on Linux, so there are some minor challenges. The main UE5 Editor is now native Linux binaries, as well as the Quixel Bridge add-on. But I’m having massive issues with Epic Games sign-ins and their hCaptcha checks (clearly, I’m not human, yet I solve the identical hCaptcha on other sites this same week!). So, for two plus days I’ve been getting failed login. Funny thing is I was logged in a few days back, but I’m not the only one, it seems, with this issue. So, this is impacting my progress a bit.
The plan is to finish my photorealistic island and then to spend time walking around it, and maybe build it into an Android app or desktop app for some others to enjoy too. And of course, I can keep improving this island.
So, if you’re looking for a 2023 challenge still, Unreal Engine could well be it! It’s free to use but does require a bit of GPU processor and RAM.

looking forward to part two too. :)
Jordan Peterson's thoughts on ADHD. If we live in a society that is not normal or healthy, should we use drugs to make children adept to it, or should we change schools to allow for more playful exploration, creativity and physicality?
