  • Cyberpunk Brain in a Box Image Created with Stable Diffusion

    These images are called Brain in a Box 1, 2, and 3. The idea behind them was a electronic-organic computer assemblage that fit into a 19″ server cabinet. The brains are modeled on my fMRI scans, and the background cabling and box perspective come from another controlnet layer using a snapshot of a networking setup with bundles of ethernet cables. The lighting details and computing element details varied based on my prompt.

    I liked how #2 seems like a universe of constellations of lights and wires beneath a transparent brain-shaped cover.

    Number 3 is the brightest of the series. Its brain combines the previous two aspects–transparency and brain folds.

  • Cyberpunk Brain Connections Image Created with Stable Diffusion

    This is another image from the series that includes this previous post. I call it Brain Connections. I made it with A1111 and controlnet configured with an image from my fMRI scan. Thinking about how generative AI systems are building up different expert combos to best respond to queries and how they are linking together different kinds of systems that handle different multimodal aspects of advanced systems (e.g., STT/speech recognition > input > generative AI > TTS > output), it reflects how many such brains will make up the generative AI systems we will be using going into the future. This is opposed to singular, monolithic AI systems depicted in films like WOPR in WarGames (1983).

  • Cyberpunk Brain at the Center Image Created with Stable Diffusion

    Cyberpunk Brain at the Center Image Created with Stable Diffusion.

    This is another image created using my fMRI brain scan images with Stable Diffusion, A1111, and controlnet. My brain’s folds turned into pipes and took on this heat map coloration. The lines of connection surround the brain–kind of like the path of your ship in Konami’s Gyruss video game.

  • Cyberpunk Working on the AI Image Created with Stable Diffusion

    Cyberpunk Working on the AI Image Created with Stable Diffusion.

    I thought this image that I made with Stable Diffusion would make a cool book cover. I call it, Working on the AI. In the foreground, a person is tinkering with the brain-like folds of the artificial intelligence’s circuits. The room is composed of memory banks and processor cores. As with the other SD images featuring a brain, this one is also based on my fMRI brain scans.

  • The AI Awakens Made with Stable Diffusion

    The AI Awakens Made with Stable Diffusion.

    This post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk style image used my brain’s fMRI scan to inspire the face with red eyes and cables running along its hairless head. The lone person beneath it seems tired or defeated. It makes me think of a nightmare and choking on smoke or smog. Yet, there is that one bright light in the upper right that gives hope to an otherwise desolate scene. It was created with Stable Diffusion, A1111, and controlnet.
