I want to make an art installation where a trajectoid rolls down a squiggly and very narrow board (as opposed to a broad surface as shown in the video), so it's evident that its quirky shape is particularly appropriate to that exact board.

Sisyphus is going to be pissed.
I don't know, this might actually add some entertainment value.
Algorithm, that’s a buzz word I want to hear more than just “AI”. Algorithms are peak efficiency.
isn't current 'ai' basically just 'algorithmic intelligence'?
It’s certainly algorithmic but I wouldn’t call it intelligence.
Maybe like veneer intelligence.
Classical algorithms are used to make a system that can learn, and then the system learns to do things in ways we can't actually understand, to date. So, it's built on top.
If you can find one. A classical algorithm that generates photorealistic images does not currently exist.
what about Blender
Ah, you got me, yes that counts as written. Let me revise that to "fully automatic classical algorithm that generates photorealistic images". Blender requires a lot of human input to work that well.
This is a very cool math application but at the same time you figure this out the first time you roll a cone block down a ramp as a kid (compared to a cylinder block), so these headlines seemingly surprised about scientists discovering these things always seem like "well duh, of course"
