PROJECTS EMERGE
As we are influenced by the dispatches arriving from the expanding, evolving field of intelligence, projects are suggested whose intent is to explore some aspect of the power of stories, immersive experiences and generative leadership that have some kernel of future innovation inherent in them. On this page are three projects that I am exploring.
Current Projects
AI Narrative Analysis
Neural Nets of Tomorrow
At Story Studio we explore the individual and collective stories we tell about the now and future. We believe the stories we tell ourselves influence what we feel, what we think and ultimately what we will do as individuals and as part of our culture.
We look at news trends in politics, economics, media, technology, culture and spirit. We use our AI NLP platform to analyze the trends that are emerging in the data, create a timeline of how the story is unfolding, identify the key players and analyze summaries of what they are saying.
We also look at how a particular story SCALES. This determines its influence on the cultural conversation. The more people that report on the subject and the perspective of the story, or forward posts or text about it, the more influence the story has in shaping our now and future.
If you are intrested in the stories we are telling about the now and future the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence in all its forms was pretty close to the top of the list. Listen...
I have been curious about the impact of AI on our now and future for quite awhile. You can't look at movies, or TV about the future without AI being part of it. Usually in a negative way.
I had also interviewed lots of key figures in Silicon Valley for the VSD project five yearsa ago and AI came up quite a lot as a major impact on humans the way they saw it.
My personal interactions with AI began, as they do for a lot of people, getting them through search engine searches. Google went from a search engine to an enhanced database powered by AI.
I became intimately involved with AI through the AI music creation program called Suno AI. I had stumbled into using it to enhance a music demo I was doing for an Amador Arts project. Then total emersion/merging took place as I discovered its potential to be my perfect music partner. This has led to other interests in AI LLM's becoming an important part of the way I go about creating as an artist. Stay Tuned...
Epigraph TV Series/Metaverse
Epigraph is a unique, transmedia, entertainment property that integrates a dramatic television series, a mysterious network of web sites, podcasts, social media influencers and a gamified metaverse.
Offering a sanctuary from the unstructured mayhem of social media, an incubator for testing new ideas and emerging cultural narratives without any danger to participants and an amplifier of the best concepts that emerge from Epigraph that can literally change the real world.
It is also a precursor to us developing digital identities that are becoming so prevalent in the large language models of AI.
