BTW I wrote this code using colab's AI. I literally typed in something like "implement the game of life showing how many times each grid cell changes value with a heat map" and had to fix one minor bug relating to the colour map.

In my runs, blinkers dominate due to changing state every single frame. As I don't see any effects from blinkers in that video it can't be the same thing. It's similar though.
