Storytelling and marketing in music will undergo shift as creative process becomes democratised through AI. Managers and labels have opportunity to build rich media experiences around their artists. Visionary artists will set the precedent and the art form will start to change.

This is an important thread, contributes to the dialogue on generative #AI ...I might lift off this for a post of my own (energy permitting before the holidays!). Excellent approach by the team, and it will inform my own work on on-chain story + AI.

This tweet wins the day for the use of the word “blags”. 🇬🇧

Watching Beverlyhills Cop, i don’t think I’ve ever seen this undubbed. The way Axel blags his way out of being caught makes me wonder how you could do that in a video game. A game thats stealth until you get found, then you use voice chat to try and blag your way out against Ai

Yes please. Working on it but at a very superficial level for now

How do we do this* with writing workflows? * this = a spatial awareness of versions, histories, edits, suspended past explorations; an immediate visual sense of where you diverged/converged. A global visual sense of progress towards some final version. twitter.com/destroytoday/s…
Gawd this is genius #ai

NEW DEMO! Exploring the "length" dimension in the latent space of a language model ✨ By scrubbing up/down across the text, I'm moving this sentence up and down a direction in the embedding space corresponding to text length — producing summaries w/ precise length control (1/n)

Pixelynx, co-founded by @deadmau5 and @richiehawtin, is launching a Pokémon Go-esque AR scavenger hunt for NFTs. Winners will help control a virtual artist in the music metaverse game, @elynxirgame, CEO @inderphull22 shared exclusively with @decryptmedia: decrypt.co/115686/deadmau
This is…profound, eerie, and points to something deeper that is hard to articulate. AI healing? Uncanny valleys? Certainly affirmation that the definition of what is “real” has changed forever. #gpt3 #ai

Hey! This is the same game I came up with when I was 11. Still working on getting it made. And more.

We received this proposal(?) for a video game @remedygames in 1997. In case it wasn't obvious: you should not do this to a game studio. The proposal brilliantly ends with "How about animated units. Sorry for wasting your time." #gamedev

Some key musings from🧘💭 ✴️ Interoperable < Personal + Communal Stories In a world with vast disparities... 💣💥 ✴️ SUM 1*(metaverse) = 👍🤔👎 ✴️ Free of Constraints > Ownership ✴️ Interoperable ≠ Portable. ✴️ Content = 👑 ✴️ Machines = Creators + 🍄🤪

And that it be unconstrained, by which I don't mean unlimited, but instead that any tithes, tolls, surveillance agreements, data harvesting or other hidden costs are either clearly agreed to or non-existent. BUT...these are just initial thoughts. More to come I'm sure :)

By which I mean that it feels MORE important that the 'stuff' I have (a skin, an avatar, a house) has clarity of provenance (where did it come from, who created it) so that we can properly reward creators...

I mean, who doesn't love creating a new character for a game? It gets kind of boring otherwise. But where ownership matters is in a slightly different prism: the capacity for what is MINE (whether I can bring it around with me across the Metaverse) to be "clear and unconstrained"
