Fantastic to see @xkcd and @standupmaths on stage at the Theatre Royal talking about What If. Delighted that my favourite question, about Yoda's power output, got a mention at the end!

RT @CSCGlobalAlumni: 🎥We are proud to introduce another of our Directors, @EdGreig, Chief Disruptor at @DeloitteUK. Ed has a strong connect….

For those asking, this is a ref to Roo Beer in the Last Continent. It may not be everyone's fave but as someone who grew up watching Crocodile Dundee on loop & because Pterry actually signed my copy (“No bloody worries, mate”) it will always hold a special place in my ❤️.

I thought you might like this ⁦@rhipratchett⁩ ! I know the current owner, my neighbour, is not a Discworld fan (I’ve encouraged her to start though) but she thinks the previous owner must have been.

@stableaudio to create the music.@elevenlabsio to generate the dialogue.@auphonic to clean up the audio + @Adobe Audition and Premiere to put it all together. (11/11).

To create this I used:. #ChatGPT to write the script and storyboard @midjourney to create the visuals and the contestants (Including the version of @sjtidmarsh).@D_ID_ to animate the characters.@pika_labs, @LeiaPix and @runwayml to animate the images. (10/11).

And thanks to @sjtidmarsh for letting me use his face and voice as the presenter and to him and @AdwantedEvents for the invite to speak! (9/11).

Thanks to my brilliant fellow predictors at the #FutureofMedia this week, Emma Allen from @whatifglobal, @twmorgan11, @SimiLindgren, @tombowers2, Hamid Habib from @HavasMediaGroup and @DigitalConstant (8/11).

This was generated using AI (Script, storyboard, dialogue, images and music) over the course of a single day, you can read about the tools that I used below and thanks to @curiousrefuge for the guidance. (7/11).

To be clear, I don’t think this is a good idea, anthropomorphising AI is an unhelpful and potentially dangerous trend, as covered brilliantly by people like @timnitGebru @emilymbender @j2bryson and @mmitchell_ai (6/11).

And finally AI generated video content, which is rapidly getting longer and more sophisticated, like this amazing Barbenheimer trailer: from @CuriousRefuge (5/11).

Virtual companion apps like Replika, which has over 10 million downloads on the Play Store alone, with an estimated 25% of users paying a subscription, see this from @Brooks_Rob: (4/11).

Virtual influencers like @lilmiquela, one of hundreds who have millions of followers across social media: (She just starred in a @BMW ad) and the new celebrity chat bots launched by Meta: (h/t @julesterpak) (3/11).

Smallville, the experiment by @joon_s_pk @joseph_c_obrien @carriejcai @merrierm @percyliang.& @msbernst that had 25 generative AI agents interacting in a virtual space, each with their own identity and role, not unlike the #BigBrother house: (2/11).

Welcome to Love AIsland, the world’s first Totally Artificial Reality Show, my quick-fire Future Of Media prediction this week! . I don’t think this is a good idea BUT it's a very plausible consequence of the trends outlined in the thread below: (1/11).

RT @thespursweb: Ange Postecoglou speaking brilliantly on mental health.

It would be good if sharing widgets (for @X and other social platforms) allowed the hosting site or app (In this case @duolingo) to have pre-filled #alttext. #inclusivedesign #accessibility.

Big day.

@centurionrunner I finished! Took 26 hours and 58 minutes but didn't post because my phone had died due to the rain. Massive thanks to everyone (including @neilhimself) for your support!
