Infinite Slop

Infinite Slop is a 24/7 continuous AI-generated video livestream created by Pieter Levels. Users can connect and drive an endless, chaotic storyline using chat prompts. The stream utilizes fast video models hosted on fal.ai, such as the MiniMax model, to generate short clips in roughly nine seconds. Viewers type text prompts directly into the chat box, and the system attempts to link these disparate requests into a single, weird, and continuous broadcast.
It is horribly compelling and tragically wasteful.

Feed The Cat

A developer turned his cat feeder into a public website where anyone can watch live and feed real cats remotely from anywhere in the world.

From his Reddit post: “I started off the project in june because I was unemployed and wanted to recreate the hello street app with my own cat. I wanted to be able to feed him remotely and watch him eat when I was not home but I also liked the idea of anyone being able to feed him and see him too. The website now features multiple cameras in different locations with cats, including a cat shelter I managed to collaborate with. There is a global cooldown for feeding so that the cats don’t get overfed. It also features a radio with some music I carefully curated“.

Cybernetics Image Library

Great resource, fascinating interface.

“Browse and contribute images of all kinds: diagrams, schematics, photos, graphic elements, and other visual fragments. Each image is linked to a record in the Cybernetics Library catalog or integrated from the project’s original are.na channel. Image tags and collections are inherited from the Cybernetics Library’s LibraryThing catalog. Collections are groups of resources based on previous library activities.”

Map of Reddit

Andrei Kashcha made an impressive website that maps Reddit. It visualizes 116K subreddits and 1.5B comments (Nov 2024-March 2025). An interactive exploration of community connections across the platform. I could literally spend the rest of my life browsing this.

Every webpage deserves to be a place

Matt Webb added a new feature to his website called cursor party. It lets web visitors see other people’s cursors on his site. And they can chat with each other and share text highlights. “It’s a miracle that we can feel togetherness over the internet. And yet! And yet!”

This is the internet that I fell in love with, almost thirty years ago <3

One Million Checkboxes

A webpage with one million checkboxes. Checking a box checks it for everyone, in real time.

[update via Garbage Day: “Teens hacked One Million Checkboxes into their personal r/Place. Nolen Royalty, who made the website, coded a few features to limit spamming, but he didn’t anticipate a group of teen coders building a program that was only visible when converting the checkboxes into pixels or binary code, which they used to link to their Discord and post shirtless GIFs of Jake Gyllenhaal. Turning the site into a real-time rickroll just before it shut down”.]

 

Preserving Worlds

“Preserving Worlds is a documentary travelogue through aging but beloved virtual worlds. Virtual worlds are delicate things, and they can vanish with hardly a trace. Under Capitalism, preservation is often the last priority. “

The Curator’s Code

“While we have systems in place for literary citation, image attribution, and scientific reference, we don’t yet have a system that codifies the attribution of discovery in curation as a currency of the information economy, a system that treats discovery as the creative labor that it is. This is what The Curator’s Code is – a system for honoring the creative and intellectual labor of information discovery by making attribution consistent and codified, the celebrated norm.”

ᔥ Brain Pickings

Starring the Computer

“Starring the Computer is a website dedicated to the use of computers in film and television. Each appearance is catalogued and rated on its importance (ie. how important it is to the plot), realism (how close its appearance and capabilities are to the real thing) and visibility (how good a look does one get of it). Fictional computers don’t count (unless they are built out of bits of real computer), so no HAL9000 – sorry.”
