It's been 5 years since I started collecting NFTs. I can finally say the collection feels complete to me. Introducing eng.art, a digital art collection focused on art enabled by software in all forms: code, tools, models, blockchains, networks. I'm particularly proud of the early ai and generative art sets.

Thank you @katevass for the opportunity to talk about how I approach collecting If you haven’t seen the interview series, I highly recommend it because it offers insights from some of the most thoughtful collectors in the space It is my honor to be included in that list https://www.katevassgalerie.com/blog

The Golden State by the incredibly talented @califormetry, in his signature vector hyperrealism style. Hard to believe it's vector art and not a photograph. https://x.com/Califormetry/status/1820886870995431574

It's impossible to know from the outside, but it's likely we are very close to (or already have) the technology to detect the type and location of all submarines everywhere via much better signal processing and deep learning algos. Search for "transparent oceans". The location from satellite based ballistic launch detection combined with known missile capabilities (range, payload, flight characteristics). Barring that, it's possible to trace the place of origin of the fissile material from the radioactive fallout based on the ratio of the isotopes and other trace elements (a key plot point in Sum of All Fears). As to @kyle's point, while these don't help for an immediate second-strike, it's not possible to hide the originating country forever. So, game theoretically it doesn't make sense to use only submarines in a first strike, since you want to optimize for eliminating the possibility of retaliation. This is why the primary role of submarines in the nuclear triad is second-strike assurance.

I don't think there's real demand for this. The people buying on L1 are willing to pay the premium for the stronger provenance. Most auctions don't receive bids until the final hours, and even then the bid increments are typically higher than any gas expenditure. For non-primary sales opensea's offchain bids work fine.

K-Meanearest Neighbors by Helena Sarin and Dmitri Cherniak. A fantastic combination of generative and ai art. A generative algorithm written by Dmitri created thousands of outputs which were then used to train a GAN made by Helena who curated the results. 1 of 3: https://foundation.app/@NeuralBricolage?tab=splits

I keep learning about ways Robbie was pushing the boundaries before most of us knew about AI art. Among others: - AI video art - AI Fashion line via Acne studios - AI generated rap music - LeWitt inspired generative art via GPT-2 - Model to create infinite pieces in another artist's style https://x.com/randomcdog/status/1801476960633098435 AI Gen Art https://x.com/videodrome/status/1177012430230183937 Acne Studios https://xrgoespop.com/home/acne-studios-x-robbie-barrat AI Rap https://youtube.com/watch?v=N8P3i8gBaVI Infinite skulls https://artnome.com/news/2019/1/22/ai-artist-robbie-barrat-and-painter-ronan-barrot-collaborate-on-infinite-skulls Robbie was incredibly ahead of his time

It's an cool collection and I own a piece. It's unclear how exactly it was fully "end-to-end" ai generated. I think the ones minted in 2019 will likely have a premium (collection didn't mint out until 2020)

Yes, it matters. Mainly focus on ETH and reputable platforms. I don't rule out others, but it factors into how much I'd be willing to pay. The main reason is so you know the art and metadata will continue to be around for years.

Possibly one of the most comprehensive lists https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tyDW1939sHlbZU-z0e-PVdjfPsy_Tw4MphdGQfRWF0c/edit#gid=1280481279, from https://linktr.ee/punk3606

Ha ha, it's actually not that deep, but there's no map. What have you discovered?

To me, this counts as GPT4 passing the Turing test. Still an important update that it took all the way until GPT4 to get there! https://twitter.com/tobyordoxford/status/1791030333812383960

Hedonistic adjustment to AI advances is mind boggling. If you had told me in 2014 that in 10y we would have: - solved the turing test - ai output for writing/images/songs/code at human fidelity - Computer from star trek (Data is maybe 3-5 years away) And yet, it's a normal Wednesday just like any other back then

The question is really whether we're in takeoff or liftoff.
