slams neural cellular automata
the background of this site is inspired by a video from Emergent Garden on youtube. neural cellular automata is pretty much a simulation of a grid of pixels with a set of functions that determine the color of each pixel. the two rules that define the grid is an activation function and a convolution filter. the filter is applied first to a 3x3 around every pixel, it multiplies the values of each pixel by a value determined by a random kernel. after the filter is applied, the activation function is applied to the target pixel. the activation function can be any regular function that takes in a number and returns a number. the result of this process is a widely interesting and beautiful emergence of patterns. the background of this site was also entirely made with 'vibe coding' which is a stupid new trend of using only AI to code. regardless, the simulation is pretty cool and I hope to continue to make it a lot better and see if I can make it parallelized. also if the background is red or black then refresh till its not (i will fix this one day)
