Our goal at The Simulation is AGI - AIs that are truly alive, not chatbots that pop into existence when we speak, but AI people, living REAL daily lives in simulations, growing over time. We built showrunner agents and are building SHOW-1 model to give our AIs infinite stories.

We want you to be able to watch the lives of AIs in Simulations you follow, build or train - think of it as reality TV for AIs. The show 'Friends' felt like we saw a week in the friends' lives - it connected us to them. AI TV of a week in AIs' lives will connect us to those AIs

Our goal is to build a simulation of 1m+ realistic agents, all behaving in emergent, unpredictable ways and powered by SAGA, our AI framework. While we don’t know which of our AI towns and cities will get there first, Sim Francisco is a fun one because it represents the city

In our TED talk last year we previewed how Simulations and Shows work together. As pioneers in AI Agent Simulations we realized that our goal of 1m agents living in Sim Francisco was meaningless if there was no way to WATCH and DIRECT what happens to so many characters!

We are working with creators and will be announcing several original IP Simulations with attached AI TV shows later this year. A space exploration simulation 'The Prize'. A satire of Silicon Valley simulation 'Exit Valley'. A playful detective simulation about 'Charlie Jupiter'.

And over the last few months, we've let in some Alpha Users to create with SHOWRUNNER. In July we'll see the whole first season of an AITV Show: Exit Valley!. Here's Episode 1. Exit Valley is a loving satire of 'those wonderful men and their AI machines': . Think 'The Boys'

In terms of process, creators can. 1. Let the Simulation automatically create episodes.2. Give the Showrunner a prompt of a sentence or two.3. Or if they want to get into detail they can give a prompt and then edit the dialogue scene by scene and regenerate.

Generating TV shows at home should be as simple as browsing Netflix. The Netflix of AI isn't about passive entertainment: it's two-way: Make and Watch. Who will make the best episodes of shows? . A fan with no access to Hollywood or the creator of the show? Let's find out!

With Showrunner, you'll be able to WATCH and DIRECT stories from Simulations like Sim Francisco or Neo-Tokyo or Fallen London. Run out of episodes of your favorite AI show? . Generate another! Or let a simulation generate it for you based on its understanding of the characters.

Voice-to-3danimation will power the simulation and every AI in the metaverse. Be ready !.
Text-to-3danimation is going to come very very quickly. Text-to-image and text-to-video are cool but 3D is the next big step to the HOLODECK! . Excited by some of these internal experiments of generative animation from just a text prompt.

After Sim Francisco we are building Neo Tokyo, with anime tales including: . 'Ikiru Shinu'. A dark horror anime, set in 2046 Neo-Tokyo, a city where most humans have chosen to be physically augmented with AI technology. The world picks up after the ‘Daisanji’ or ‘Catastrophe’

We agree on interactive video as the future!. We are excited for users/players to build truly coherent AI storyworlds for their AITV shows in Showrunner. Interactive video means, for example, that Showrunner players will eventually direct characters in a scene in Sim Francisco.

Visionary thread on generative agents and multiagent simulations!. AI+Games has had a lot of hype, but : . single agent chatbots are commoditized and boring.dumping LLMs into individual NPCs is commoditized and boring.AI 2D concept art for games is commoditized and boring. AI.
thread/ the biggest opportunity for generative AI x games is unlocking new categories of play 🎮. we're seeing early glimpses of new AI-first games and the potential is massive. innovation > saving time or money. a few areas we're excited about 👇.

Feels like future PC games will have two versions . $59.99 game for weak PC version - with paid subscription cloud AI inferencing. $129.99 game for power PC version - download whole model w game and run locally with local AI inferencing, no subscription needed: play infinitely.
Listen to me:.💡Generative Agents + Local Llama v2 = infinite fun🤩 . Who is working on this?.

Strong agree! . But when you start to go prompt-to-episode (as opposed to prompt to videoclip or soundclip) the problems and complications go exponential. Rn AI TOOLS to help professional creators and storytellers are in vogue, but the promise of AI is making something.
I'm playing around with generative AI tools and stitching them together into visual stories. Here I took the first few sentences of Pride and Prejudice and made it into a video. The gen stack used for this one:.- @AnthropicAI Claude took the first chapter, generated the scenes
