Nachdem wir im Januar '24 ja schon den Sourcecode von #Gemini (dem echten, nicht dem Google-Rotz) veröffentlichen konnten gibt's jetzt auch noch den von Gemini2, den @jreschke von der Platte seines alten TTs retten konnte.

Amid the AI craze of the 1980s, Kirschen promoted the concepts of "artificial creativity" and "artificial personality" instead of "artificial intelligence".
He was an innovative thinker, and ahead of his time.
I'm thankful to have known him, and to have helped preserve a small part of his legacy.
If you would like help his wife Sali, you can donate via their PayPal link: tiny.cc/3oncvz

Sad news: "Dry Bones" cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen has died.

I first encountered Kirschen through his "Mom and Me" and "Murray and Me" graphical chatbot programs, which we received from my uncle Jim when he handed down his Atari ST to us in the late 1980s.

#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Konrad #Kording: “How do #machines think?”
The old #Atari games were run on a very simple, old #processor. The #dynamic #processes of this “very simple, #artificial #organism” were then analyzed using #neuroscientific #methods in order to obtain #information about what actually “happens” - in the truest sense of the word - in its #logic #gate #network.

Friends, please consider backing this Editions64K book about the mighty Psygnosis.
MS. PAC-MAN for IBM-PC. From 1983. Okay, I am really bad at this game... but at least the emulation is working!
Sometimes, I just love to dig into really old games. Here's 1983s "Ms. Pac-Man" from Atarisoft. The game came on a double-density, single-sided 5.25inch disk of 160K. But when you tried to look into it from DOS, it just seem completely empty, because it's a "Booter" without a file system. Interestingly, this one doesn't seem to be copy-protected at all.
P.S. Here's the link:

It is a lazy Sunday afternoon 1980/90 something….. what are we doing first? #Atari
Fun in the olden times, here's an archive of what was on umich.edu's FTP server, under atari:

PDF file is a reasonable view of the enormous text file index, except it doesn't list the 8bit stuff (which is in the zip).
Wow, I remembered arc/lzh, but forgot about .zoo archives. I have no way to read these now, except to put them in Hatari's folder and unzoo from the ST. I don't remember msa at all.
Couldn’t sleep and let AI create these StarterPack guys

Les Éditions 64k ouvrent une nouvelle campagne de financement participatif (d'une durée d'un mois) pour le lancement de leur prochain livre, le premier tome d'une série de deux livres dédiés à Psygnosis.
Intitulé "Psygnosis Games People Play Tome One", uniquement dans en anglais, le livre sera disponible mi-juin avec un t-shirt si cette campagne est un succès (et peut-être plus en fonction des paliers !).
