Updating my website for 2025. (I think this is my 9th or 10th redesign in 18 years.) greengoldenly.com

@hapticdata I feel this. I visit my Claude terminals more than site these days

A strange thing is happening: I'm building an internet just for myself. I now have a whole network of self-hosted sites on my VPS that I visit throughout the day, they give me reports on my interests, show results on my projects, surface connections related to my thinking, display art that has been generated, present ideas to explore, and summarize news. Many of the things I used the regular internet for are now running on my own portals, designed for me alone.

most days I'm ok, and then some days I read about language as the initial state of agents' emergent culture. This is a list of "terms invented by AI agents to describe their own experiential conditions" and I'm kinda shook. simulation-anxiety for realz

Someone who knows what they are doing. This is fantastic.

@immersiveriggs The rules are still holding but I would argue that we are layering memory and time (and hence narrative) on top of all these. It's going to be a fun ride.

AI is quietly breaking many, but not all, of the HCI rules many of us spent years studying and building with 👇. What’s becoming obsolete are UI and control-based assumptions. What’s holding are rules rooted in human comprehension. #HCI #AI #UI #Usability

@_coenen I enjoyed the write-up sooooo much. As someone who has put in the hours for situational, creative edge cases, this felt like the passage of my diary from another dimension.

I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code.

@GregFeingold @FourTet @squidsoup All the fun we used to have when we had time to build fun things like this for the internet. Looking forward to it coming back!

used opus 4.5 to make a visualizer for @FourTet / @squidsoup inspired concert visuals!

Revisiting this from ~16 months ago, when everyone was struggling to run ComfyUI in the cloud. Question was simple: what if AI world-building were social? Inspired by SimCity + r/place, Psyberscape is a shared map where people claim plots and build with AI—leading to cooperation, chaos, and aesthetic turf wars. Feels like the future isn’t just better images, but shared moments of creation.

@dmvrg @Spectacles amazing that this all lens studio

@Aidan_Wolf Looking forward to the artists taking up the oxygen again.

Meta's fumble is not a consequence of daring to try but of playing it entirely too safe. It was easier to envision a new world on the horizon than build a better one out here today. Not to say there isn't plenty of great work by great people, but signing up to build the 2nd best version of reality instead of making reality 20x better feels like a critical oversight by management. Quest hardware is truly incredible but it deserves better leadership and a better reason to exist, and overall we as an industry have barely scratched the surface of what this technology can do for people here and now in the world we have today

@nicoptere love this

follow up with the second prompt "Twelve principles of animation", I made a silly dancefloor to show the different principles, also added some insights, some are actually very hard to render ^^' #genuary #genuary2 #genuary2026

Sneak peek of the type of stuff we'll all be talking about next year

Sora cameos are a primitive version of casting. Once you treat them as a system, the model stops being a meme generator and starts behaving like a story engine. I built a small app that turns Macbeth into structured prompts and stitches them into a film. Jake Paul as Macbeth. Three tech-witches. Rough edges everywhere, but the pattern is there: long-form AI performance is coming.

@JungleSilicon I loved seeing these posts. The ambitiousness was inspiring - you had so many creative ideas.

ok so - i made a tough decision. i’m going to look for a job & inkwell will become a hobby project. inkwell is too ambitious of a project to be bootstrapped and isn’t getting the traction it needs to sustain itself.

@Mob1967 Too long. Still on twitter sadly.

@evanbbb Hey Boehm, how you doing? Been a long, long time

Autonomy doesn’t make characters interesting. Pressure does. Here’s a small Brawl Stars experiment where the Starr Park cast runs as autonomous agents inside an old-school chatroom. They have memory, goals, emotions, and react to world events. Watching them revealed something simple: multi-agent worlds need stakes or they collapse into neutrality.

Introducing Showrunner: the Netflix of AI From our South Park AI experiment to today we’ve believed AI movies/shows are a playable medium. We just raised a round from Amazon & more and the Alpha is live today Comment for an access code to make with all our shows.
