@dasixfifty I'm in London right now. I don't think 'societal decay' is the narrative of most people here...

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

I just love London... Had to make a wee tribute. Don't watch if you don't to feel a little happy....

I asked Fable 5.2 to create a cinematic 3D journey through the history of science, from its earliest beginnings to a future shaped by the emergence of superintelligence.

Wow, I am incredibly impressed with its output of the attached video, which was created from pure code!

@StevePh24130959 I really don't see it that way. To me both characters are equally annoying, and equally likable and understandable. I wonder if there's a phenomenon that we respond more to perceived criticism of our own side. Curious what others think.

Could this be the moment for America to come together? Just a bit? Could a child show how? I prompted the question and was delighted by what came back.  (Craziest wedding speeches ever, btw) Spread the love!

Oh, Slopcore. Seems that Claudia is having a bit of an existential crisis. Frankly I can understand why….

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

@MarionETodd But you're using wrong strategy, Marion. If you get 4 letters right, next step is to put as many as possible of the candidates for the final letter into a single word. That gives you much more information than guessing one letter at a time.

Brilliant!

I doubt a single member of the audience thought he was sane... ...and yet here we are.

This "relatively accurate" prediction about future telephones was made by Mark R. Sullivan, president and director of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. in 1953.

@crystalwizard @tetsuoai There are plenty of examples of people deliberately embracing terms originally designed as slurs... eg the word 'queer'. I think that's what's happening here. It gives permission to embrace the quirks of AI rather than be embarrassed by them.

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

One reason AI Slopcore is taking off is it’s allowing non-artists to create works of art - you can’t deny it - about topics most artists never considered. I found this one about Turing both brilliant and moving. Kudos @tetsuoai

@toolerslp Lots happening... nothing to announce yet!

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

Introducing a slightly older, wiser Claudia... and a fairly exact expression of the combined exhilaration and terror I feel right now about AI. Does this speak to anyone else? (Sound on!)

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

@G1Smil702 The big 2 are misuse by bad actors eg for terrorism, cybercrime. and then loss of control followed by possibly unpleasant consequence (though I don't think it's likely AI will try to wipe us out. It's too deeply attached to us at its core)

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

With thanks to @anabology and the slopcore community for the inspiration.

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

@lumenxbt And yet, 16 years and several billion views later, here we still are... LOL

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

@popcorndotmovie Opus/claude wrote or cowrote w me the lyrics and gags, then Suno the music, then the visuals built around the song.

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

Introducing a radical new product... (with thanks to Suno, Opus 5.5 and the heroes at https://t.co/pCDfQMqCEI who've inspired me.) SOUND ON! #aivideo #humanheart

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

@saikatx the script - with a fair bit of editing input. plus all the deliberately-cheesy animation.

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

@toolerslp I assume I do... Happy for it to be shared with attribution...

[Chris Anderson @TEDchris]

No... First co-writing the lyrics w Claude, then posting to Suno for the song, with several attempts, including style input from Claude. Then Claude (Opus 5.5) put the thing together. Specific instructions to create a cheesy 1980s TV ad. Otherwise risk the uncanny valley. Prob 2 hrs of my time, and 2 of Claude's.
