Would anyone here like to work with me on a pro-AI artistic/creative manifesto? I want to come up with a statement or doc that distills how we could view AI positively in an ever-changing era. In a way, a response to anti AI folks (especially artists). DM me if you’re interested. I started a WhatsApp group. Was thinking doing some Zoom calls, working document, and then working on pushing it out there to press etc.
I’ve been quietly shipping YouTube videos without sharing to social media, seeing if I get picked up by the algo. Last week, this video on AI commercials popped off! I was really surprised.

I am working with TED AI this year to feature the best AI short films/videos! If you’d like to be featured or think we should be featuring a film you love, please reply to this with a link! I’m looking for AI shorts that showcases the latest and best tools and techniques. Thanks!
“No!” he thought, “my hand…it’s steel. I can’t feel anything. What’s happening to me?!”

I’m over 48 hr film fests. It’s time for weeklong, monthlong, and longer. It’s not worth the lack of sleep, creative shortcuts, and more. More coming soon.
In the same way meditators go on meditation retreats to hone their craft, deepen their practice, and hit new meditative milestones, I think AI artists should go on long creative Gen AI retreats to deepen their prompting practice with the latest AI tools.
I want to go to conferences where not everyone on stage is a well known or famous or a thought leader.
In my hotel in Seoul, Korea - they have unbaked croissants that you can press into crispy waffles. Genius.

After all is said and done, I'm way more pro-regulation of crypto than I ever have been. I want us to have less fraud, scam, and crime because I think once those things are enforceable and more easily identifiable, the pie grows exponentially larger.
Hey fam! I’m going to Seoul Korea next month. Any recommendations on people I should meet or places to go?

Startups are an exercise in the scientific method.
The election went from Republicans being overconfident that Trump was being himself and that was guaranteeing a win to Democrats being so excited that Trump just staying being himself and that guarantees a loss.
If I am working on building a new world / IP, where is the best place to mint my characters and details of my world to:

* protect the IP
* share it easily with an audience of fellow creators
* share potential royalties with them for building on top of it
* distribute it to new viewers/fans
I know too many friends (and acquaintances) whose first instinct is to say “you should” do something based on very little information about what a person is doing. It’s almost always a projection of what the should-er wants to see in their life.
Does anyone host like “let’s nerd out on tv or film” events? cc @resipsa
Putin legalized Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining this morning. Eric Trump teasing crypto announcements...🤦🏻‍♂️
Super excited to be hosting another Gen Battle next Wednesday, Aug 14 @ 6p. Get together with new friends, come up with a concept album, and get into groups and use AI tools to create new songs and music videos. All are welcome, of all levels! https://lu.ma/dt2gic64?tk=6H8QKx
i think the social graph is overrated and the algorithm is underrated.
