This is awesome. Exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to see come out of sharing Fluoddity

FWIW if you invert your agent function, you can make something that looks like a fluoddity editor choreoddity.exe.xyz (vibed, not polished)

These traits the llms generated seem much more interesting than the images they produced, I wonder if there's a similar way to run a picbreeder experiment on only text to see if it's a modality issue

i'm particularly curious about the mode collapse phenomena they talked about for some of the models, and how non-gemini models compare

Figure A13: Effect of the choice of VLM model on Picbreeder archives after 500 agent sessions. For each model, samples of 3
archives from different random seeds are shown. Samples are generated by selecting images at uniform intervals with respect
to publication order. We note that gemini-3-pro-preview is prone to a kind of mode collapse in the collaborative archive, often
obsessing over mushroom-like forms in particular. gemini-2.5-flash-lite, meanwhile, tends to flood the archive with abstract,
high-frequency, psychedelic patterns (though it also discovers skull-like forms whose internal representations we evaluate in
Fig. A1 resembling the—admittedly more refined—skull generated in the human baseline.

Hm. Not very long. Editors like shadertoy and Kodelife make it pretty trivial to get set up, and Claude can teach you whatever you need. Is the person you? Have they ever touched non-shader code in the extended C/C++ family? Rendering a julia/mandelbrot would take sub-5 minutes and like 15 LOC

Bonus second bird. I was really aiming for crow with this one. It was tough! Never did feel like the beak looked right but at least I did away with the goofy "4 giant feathers for wings" of the toucan

Lucky for me, the noisy fluoddity particles mask my almost comical attempt at modeling wings.
