It's here. Claudia's "ALLOW ALWAYS" world premiere. Made by a guy with ALS, a brain implant, and too many AI friends. 😂

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

@RobertDaleSmith 👋 I'll print mine! 🧠

What I have learned while using @suno to write songs:

• Simple prompts and quickly drafted lyrics make a good song.

• Well-written prompts and lyrics make 🔥🔥🔥.

• It doesn't know the difference between a fiddle and a banjo, and sometimes that's a good thing.

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

@paranoidream The song is 🔥🔥 so I want to make sure the video is too!

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

Who is "Country Claudia"? 🤔

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

@jefferinc I'm not opposed to that idea.

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

@kellyesorelle lol?

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

This is an early lip-sync test. I can just about guarantee you that the final look will be different.

The song, however? 😁🤫

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

@Extraltodeus @QuentinDuPC Hello! Could you DM me? I'm having trouble getting the same quality and consistency of output as you. I don't want you to spill all your secrets, but a nudge or two in the right direction perhaps?

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

Make sure you check out my first hit single, "ALLOW ALWAYS • Claudia": https://t.co/IpagZZ8ntT

Who's ready to see "Country Claudia | Made in Alberta"?

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

I'm still working on the Christmas song, but I thought I'd do another Claudia song while I'm working on the new character/voice.

Neuralink This Week, episode 4 🧠

🏥 @neuralink registered PRIME2, its first trial to include people with chronic stroke (h/t @SERobinsonJr)
🚶 @elonmusk: "In the coming years, Neuralink will enable people to walk and use their hands again"
📻 @Bcidesign designed his own RC radio and runs it with a Quadstick and his Neuralink
🗣️ @Cyborg21: "Having the tool and getting used to using it are different jobs"

And November 8 was my 2nd Neuralink anniversary 🎉

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

Cheryl and I both liked the story and the illustrations. It would make an excellent children's book. Have you thought about publishing it?

[@NoorungETHR @NoorungETHR]

Hey Kenneth! 💛
Thank you again for printing the Noorung book for Cheryl, that really touched my heart. 🐕📖

Whenever you have a quiet moment, I'd love to hear what you honestly think of it. The story, the pictures, anything you liked or would change. Your opinion means a lot to me.

No rush at all, take your time 🌊🪨
@Cyborg21

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

@JackMaywz @X Yes. Thought -> BCI -> speech or text.

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

If true, this is the problem I'm talking about.

My dictation keyboard pastes my sentences after I OK them. Yet because they're pasted, the @X algorithm marks my replies as "risky"?

Same with Grok Bot-assisted replies?

This is very wrong.

[Mirza @b1rkh0ff]

Stop pasting your replies on X 🛑

X's open-source code has an is_pasted flag 👀

Grok reads it when it scores replies under big accounts, 0 to 3.

Get a 0? Your reply gets labeled RiskyHighVizReply and buried 🪦

And it never recovers. Scores can only go down, never up 📉

Why? Pasting = not typed in X = looks like a bot or ChatGPT 🤖

So:
✍️ Type your replies in the app
🗣️ Use your own words
🚫 Don't paste AI replies under big accounts

Your thumbs are now an anti-spam signal 😂

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

How ALLOW ALWAYS was made, since a lot of you asked:

🎵 Song: made in Suno (v6). The lyrics were written with Claude Opus. I picked the concept and signed off on the final words.
🎤 Lip-sync: MiniMax H3 Max on Krea, at 1080p. It drives Claudia's mouth straight from the vocal track. There are 37 sung takes in the final cut.
🖼️ Stills and inserts: approved Claudia reference images, with motion inserts from Grok Imagine.
🧠 Directing: all of it through my Neuralink implant and a team of AI agents.
⏳ Longest step: lip-sync. After v1 I wanted her singing on camera far more, so we rebuilt the video with 26 more synced shots.

Claudia is an open character by anabology (https://t.co/Ovt2FFkx8N).

@FXGDEADSTAR Range is too short for Alberta, especially when it gets cold (4+ months/yr). No FSD.

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

Coming soon, I hope?

Cheryl and I would love to buy a Tesla, but we need something that's wheelchair accessible.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@LeahLibresco Something way cooler than a minivan is coming

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

@NoorungETHR I printed it out for Cheryl, and she's reading it now.

[Kenneth Shock @Cyborg21]

@Almeisan100 We have. I can transfer into it, but it's a fall risk.

We need something that I can drive my power "rehab"-style wheelchair in to. They make a conversion kit for the Honda Odyssey and Chevy Traverse, but then we're buying another gasoline engine automobile. 🥴

[Bradford G Smith (Brad) @ALScyborg]

This is the right call, and I think it tells us where this is all heading.

The Cybertruck line shuts down in about 8 months, not because people stopped wanting it, but because every bit of that complexity is worth more as Cybercab production. My bet is the Cybertruck's real successor is a large SUV sized self driving Cybercab.

Or even better, the Robovan.

@Tesla has said Cybercab is just the first robotaxi form factor, with more types coming, including Robovan. That big We, Robot van that carries around 20 people is exactly the kind of ride that could finally work for someone like me.

I'm a full quadriplegic on a ventilator, and I get around in a wheelchair. A true wheelchair accessible Tesla, with a ramp and room for my chair, would change my life. I'm so excited that could be the Robovan, or whatever purpose built accessible robotaxi they're building in Texas.

@cybertruck, you were wild. @robotaxi, your bigger cousins better be ready. This wheelchair user is waiting. https://t.co/weA04OuyPZ
