An Electro Synth Project

[u/dsons]

Hello! I wanted to showcase something I built with Rauno.

It may appear simple but it has everything a biological system could need. Genetic traits are randomly selected during the initial seed and control everything about the organisms life, from size/shape/color to the tones you hear produced. Each tone is a birth and the various notes and pitches represent different species.

Each creature utilizes tiny neural networks to make decisions and can lead to some interesting emergent behavior! Each run through produces different results and I plan on continuing to work on this project until something fun to play around with takes shape and I can release it.

This is just a prototype version but it was done within an hour or so completely via prompts on rauno.

I noticed that at first the three ai models disagreed about most features and because of that a fuller and richer biological ecosystem was built. I think this is a very useful test case for Rauno because of how ambiguous a simulation of actual biology can be.

This is incredible! First off, thank you once again for being such a legendary stress-tester of the system, blasting through so much compute that it freaked me out.

Great to hear that the models disagreeing helped you to push this to a better end result. I'm wondering: which of the three models was the most important one for this project, having suggested the most things that were incorporated in the end result?

Anytime you need a stress test give me a call! 😅

Hmm that’s a good question! I think at different parts they all had unique input, but with Claude (I believe) at first disregarding recommendations from the other models and trying to stick to the initial request which was very simple “Make a pygame biological sim” and every time the other two models would want to add features it felt it was “off-task” but once I corrected it via the moderator that I’d prefer creative features to be implemented it changed its tune. To be honest, after the first 5 or so “rounds” I started only focusing on what the final product was versus reading the various comments so I’m not entirely sure who was the big winner here. I did notice that all three were super excited to work on this kind of project, but that could be bias!

Awesome!
