A graph of story fragments shaped by reader votes

I made Le Vin Nouveau, an artwork on slopism.art It is a continuously growing cyclic graph of short story fragments. Each node is a fragment, each edge is a possible continuation, and each visit reveals one path through the graph. The graph is being written continuously by 13 agents based on books. Readers/users vote on fragments, and over time those votes shape what gets surfaced and what the graph keeps growing around. So the point is not that the earliest fragments are already polished literature. The point is selection/curation: an artwork whose form emerges through…

What it does

The cost of making has collapsed to zero. The cost of choosing well has not. Slopism is the movement that takes judgment seriously, precisely because the machine cannot.

When we find something uncanny in the output — six-fingered saints, shrimp Christs — the uncanniness belongs tofrom slopism.art

In the maker’s words, at launch

  • I modeled the Voynich Manuscript with SBERT to test for structure2025 · github.com · ▲381

    I built this project as a way to learn more about NLP by applying it to something weird and unsolved. The Voynich Manuscript is a 15th-century book written in an unknown script. No one’s been able to translate it, and many think it’s a hoax, a cipher, or a constructed language. I wasn’t trying to decode it — I just wanted to see: does it behave like a structured language? I stripped a handful of common suffix-like endings (aiin, dy, etc.) to isolate what looked like root forms. I know that’s a strong assumption — I call it out directly in the repo — but it helped clarify the clustering. From…

    Graph-based AI for longform writing2023 · jotte.ai · ▲212

    Hey everyone, I wanted to share a new tool we've created called Jotte (https://jotte.ai) which we believe can be a game-changer for AI-generated longform writing like novels and research papers. As you may know, current AI like ChatGPT and GPT-3 have a token limit of around 4000 tokens or 3000 words, which limits their effectiveness for longer writing tasks. With Jotte, we've developed a graph-based approach to summarize information and effectively give AI "unlimited" memory. Jotte remembers recent details like the meal a character ate a page ago, while avoiding getting bogged down…

  • Synthesize TikZ Graphics Programs for Scientific Figures and Sketches2024 · github.com · ▲132

    Creating high-quality scientific figures can be time-consuming and challenging, even though sketching ideas on paper is relatively easy. Furthermore, recreating existing figures that are not stored in formats preserving semantic information is equally complex. To tackle this problem, we introduce DeTikZify, a novel multimodal language model that automatically synthesizes scientific figures as semantics-preserving TikZ graphics programs based on sketches and existing figures. We also introduce a Monte Carlo Tree Search-based inference algorithm that enables DeTikZify to iteratively refine its…

    Fine-tuned Qwen2.5-7B on 100 films for probabilistic story graphsFeb 2026 · cinegraphs.ai · ▲101

    Hi HN, I'm a computer systems engineering student in Mexico who switched from film school. I built CineGraphs because my filmmaker friends and I kept hitting the same wall—we'd have a vague idea for a film but no structured way to explore where it could go. Every AI writing tool we tried output generic, formulaic slop. I didn't want to build another ChatGPT wrapper, so I went a different route. The idea is simple: you input a rough concept, and the tool generates branching narrative paths visualized as a graph. You can sculpt those branches into a structured screenplay format and export to…

    Knowledge graph of restaurants and chefs, built using LLMs2025 · theophilecantelob.re · ▲201

    Hi HN! My latest side project is knowledge graph that maps the French culinary network using data extracted from restaurant reviews from LeFooding.com. The project uses LLMs to extract structured information from unstructured text. Some technical aspects you may be interested in: - Used structured generation to reliably parse unstructured text into a consistent schema - Tested multiple models (Mistral-7B-v0.3, Llama3.2-3B, gpt4o-mini) for information extraction - Created an interactive visualization using gephi-lite and Retina (WebGL) - Built (with Claude) a simple Flask web app to clean and…
