@DJSnM It's an Electron app that streams real telescope imagery from public HiPS sky atlases (all nine survey IDs verified live on the CDS servers): Fermi gamma-ray → ROSAT X-ray → GALEX UV → DSS2 visible → 2MASS → WISE → IRAS → Planck microwave → Haslam 408 MHz radio.

@DJSnM I played around in Claude and got a kind of crude app that took different sky surveys, and corrected for relativistic aberration, beaming, etc.

@ThoughtPoliceBB Just waiting for a little stiffness (technically termed Rigor Mortis) to pass before he goes back to work.

@vikku60879 The thing I learned about CGI dabbling as a hobbyist is that doing it well can produce incredible results but it is really hard work and requires a lot of skill and dedication, just like any other medium of art.

@vikku60879 It looks like people are getting nostalgic for good old fashioned CGI in this era of AI. My kids hate AI, but really seem to respect good CGI.

@TokenGremlin I am thinking about seeing if Claude can make a volumetric renderer with variably refraction. Say, to simulate ducts and green flash and flattening os Sun at sunset.

@JMGreerWriter Maybe this fact helps to explain all the comments I see on Twitter from extreme right guys complaining about women wearing bikinis on the beach, or attractive ladies in leggings working out at the gym.

@bscholl Build the data centers on Pluto. Use some quantum mumbo-jumbo to get rid of the 8 hour light lag and power them with unicorns on treadmills.

@curtis_yarvin I don’t think they foresaw the increase in life expectancy and the easier living that lets more old remain active. If this continues, it will cause major problems in the decades to come.
