2 weeks ago I had an idea... what if conversations about AI were more visually engaging? So started talking with Claude about it. And together we created a visual 'AI recording studio' - without me touching a line of code. Sometimes we just need to ask, "What if?"...

I once partied in VR with Reggie Watts, but he never knew. I was left only dancing in the memories of his past self's original performance in a simulated world, inside and out. @reggiewatts I fed that line to AI and it came back as a song. You're the inspiration. Hope it lands

"A pregnant pause is a joke waiting... to be delivered." Wondering if @billybragg will remember that night at the Tramshed (Cardiff) about 8 years ago? Video written and produced with AI. Story is real.

Eight years ago I hand delivered a message for Peter Gabriel at his Real World Studios in Bath. It was about telepathic machines. In the last few days I've turned the vision of that message into life (video below) Written with AI. Produced by AI. Animated by AI.

Peter Gabriel's new song - Put the Bucket Down... will be released as the moon becomes full in the next few hours. It's about brain computer interfaces and rights and the authoritarian times we are living in. It's nice to be featured by Peter as a neuron firing on this project at about a minute and a half in. More interesting is the last two minutes. youtube.com/watch?v=zPRrzlrV…

Welcome to The Singulaughity! "Can we use humour to test whether AI is self-aware?" I've been asking this question since myself & Elisa were married in VR eight years ago...as robot avatars. Written up as a series of tests for AI.
