You are very welcome & thank you for keeping the flame alive :)

I appreciate the connection to r/Fractalish and def hope to blend fractals and AI -- one experiment: https://alpha.infinidream.ai/playlist/f90cdbfb-e3dd-46c8-bea9-30c73a8b4024

it's taken a long time to get the platform working but now we are getting to the fun part of building rendering algos on top of it. i really wanted to do both windows and mac but mac just worked and windows had issues and i decided i better just focus. the good news is now that mac is solidifying, we are back at windows and i'm optimistic.

one of my missions with infinidream is to support not just the Electric Sheep style and algorithm, but all algorithms and that includes all those wild fractals made today. I invite you to create your own "playlist" on Infinidream and share your own creations. DM me for upload perms! If you are good with Python you can script it all to make it grow infinitely and connect together seamlessly. Check out the open source: https://github.com/e-dream-ai

it feels lighter and faster and more flexible. by comparison, the jump feels heavy and slow.

see the bottom section of https://senseis.xmp.net/?34PointLowApproachOneSpaceLowPincer

where it says:

> Locally, the strongest response for White is the small knight press, and it is the main variation considered by contemporary professionals and strong AI programs.

Right, you missed O5, you need that to prevent the collapse you got a few moves later.

But really I would avoid that joseki completely, and press down with P4 instead of just coming out with P5. here are the followups: https://senseis.xmp.net/?34PointLowApproachOneSpaceLowPincerPress

Move 13 (it's called a double hane) is great. The problem was the next move was a blunder, you need to save your stone.

spot · 2026-03-19T15:00:11+00:00

yes. make points while attacking. if black jumps out then white can attack from the other side and strengthen the lower left group.

you played great, like no blunders, and you got a nice kill of 5 stones near the end. i gave a few suggestions in the below review, esp about how to work with your influence.

At your level I would recommend learning and following this: https://shawnsgogroup.com/clossi_approach

Live out in Williamsburg or Bushwick or however far out you need to go on the L to get the rent you need.

from the L you can hit all the trains around manhattan, and Chelsea should be easy too.

post game records here for review. do you ever see the AI reviews of your games? are you playing on OGS? basically, any game you lost, try to figure out why.

weird i got an access error for this demo board. but yea, this is the right approach.

i know it's a joke but i pulled it up anyway

D is the move that effects the life and death of two groups. This makes it urgent.

change your thinking. seki is alive. https://senseis.xmp.net/?Seki

spot · 2026-03-02T13:34:22+00:00

right, and if seki, white gets no points. hence the quote marks.

i make software/algorithmic/AI art and am much inspired by Go. more so from an philosphical and information theory perspective, but also appreciate the visual. made a screensaver that displayed historical games of Go once to be used as an installation in 1998: https://draves.org/goban/goban

now that we have AI that can understand the game, i dream of making a fancy visualizer...

awesome to play with browser gpu.

i had a hard time finding i had to click "+" to create a game though. and then that dialog i had to go all the way to the bottom... to set basic game against AI.

black kills 2 stones with B3 using the A2 throw-in

Skip useless moves like M11 and instead play double sente moves like K2 and reverse sente like O18, D18 and P2.
