Show HN: Gnarly – Cellular Automata Meets Deep Dream, Morphing etc.

Hi HN, This is Gnarly, an experimental project that blends cellular automata with Deep Dream effects, continuous zooming, and object morphing. The project integrates several ML tools—including Hugging Face’s model downloads, YOLO/EfficientDet for object detection, and Stable Diffusion for creative image generation.

Key challenges I tackled: • Dynamically integrating real-time video/image processing with cellular automata. • Combining multiple deep learning models (InceptionV3 for Deep Dream, YOLO/EfficientDet for object detection, and Stable Diffusion) in a cohesive pipeline. • Optimizing GPU usage and interactive performance with Pygame.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the technical approach and any suggestions for improvement or future features. Thanks!
