ISIS-chan is a moe anthropomorphism of ISIS originally conceived of in 2015 by 2channel users as a response to a series of incidents in which Japanese nationals were kidnapped and beheaded by ISIS.
Their intentions were to flood the web with ISIS-chan's images to make the character rank highly in Google's search engine results, the goal being that an internet search for ISIS would come up with the character instead of militant propaganda sites.

Winners of the 2025 Close-Up Photographer of the Year #nature #photography

Emerald Glow. 3rd Place, Young. A Cuban tree frog in the photographer’s backyard in Florida. Hawkins-Kimmel: “During the heat of the day, I uncovered this Cuban tree frog hiding in the leaf of a banana tree in my backyard. The frog was very calm and allowed me to slip a flashlight under the leaf to create this effect. My 100mm lens ensured that I didn’t need to get too close, so as not to stress out the frog.”

In the Crowd. Finalist, Young. A group of flamingos in Camargue, France. Godin: “It was the courtship season for flamingos. They were constantly lowering and raising their heads. I had this photo in mind and wanted one flamingo to be sharp in the middle of other blurred flamingos. So I concentrated on one particular flamingo and followed it with my eyes, only pressing the shutter button when it was surrounded by several other flamingo heads.”

Inside the Pack. 2nd Place, Animals. Arctic wolves on the sea ice in a frozen fjord on Ellesmere Island, Canada. Eshel: “Lying on the sea ice of a frozen fjord, I experienced a moment of pure magic when a pack of Arctic wolves approached me out of sheer curiosity. They came so close I could feel their breath, yet I never sensed aggression, only wonder. These wolves, unlike others, have never been hunted or threatened by humans. In the remote wilderness of northern Ellesmere Island, they have no…

Spider Web. 3rd Place, Animals. A Eurasian beaver approaches a spider’s web in Kiskunság National Park, Hungary. Máté: “Years ago, I managed to intervene at the last minute to stop the water department from clear-cutting trees along a 2km stretch of canal. Since then, we’ve worked together. I monitor and notify them of any trees obstructing water traffic, while they avoid unnecessary clear-cutting, preserving a thriving habitat. Beavers returned to this area in 2015, nearly two centuries after …

ok, agentic coding is "successful" in a way similar to how biological evolution is successful. there's no intelligence or intention, just random exploration over an implicit plausibility landscape, to satisfy some goal.
the solutions are messy and incremental with not much in the way of "coherent design", but it works anyway, kind of.
there are continual arms races that have patchwork solutions. eyes and wings and histamines can arise from evolution; LIGO …

I just backed this. I really enjoyed the demo on Steam and want to see what the full thing could look like. The mod support and lua coding is a distant stretch goal, but just seeing this reach the base level funding would be great.
Past halfway funded, and only 7 days left.
