Could be pretentious, could be trite, but as Iâve become disillusioned and numb to the madness of the world, these thoughts came to me and I wanted to share. Maybe you also see what I want to see. And maybe what we *want* to see is more important than whatâs presented to us to witness.
Because weâre all a part of this thing. Letâs not lose hope. Letâs stay foolish.

The calm before the storm. (And a little storm too đ)
Last weekendâs project, a little different vibe than my normal output lol. Also this music is an AI cover/remix I made from a @wing7ackpot beatbox video lol. I was always curious what dubstep beatboxers would sound like if they were fully produced. Turns out, it sounds good haha.
Iâm really stunned by the quality of midjourneyâs âCG animeâ outputs. The coherence and stability is really starting to feel like the system understands 3D space in the way blender does.

Atlas Wright & The Map of the World is a story that was first planted in my psyche at 16 years old. Some things have remained, others have been filtered away as clarity and cohesion emerged. Whatâs most remarkable to me is that its essence is fundamentally the same flame of the initial spark of that blossomed in my imagination. Itâs a story that has evolved with me. I discover new parts of myself and my worldview and the narrative grows both deeper and wider, turning poetic and metaphysical ideas into crystallized narrative elements and characters which mirror and transmute fundamental aspects of the human psyche and soul. Itâs a story of alchemy, archetypes, and my personal questions about the nature of reality and our relationship with God. Really happy to share a little glimpse into whatâs been so close to me for so long. #atlaswright #ai #aivideo #aistorytelling #metaphysics #consciousness #alchemy #magic #esoteric #sunomusic #suno #kling #midjourney #elevenlabs #davinciresolve #veo3
10 years ago, I wrote a little short childrenâs story called âLittle Louis Bear and the High Honey Sunâ. 10 years later, Iâm seeing how I can bring this story to life in ways I never imaged would be possible on my own.
Loving experimenting with these more long form ideas, so youâll see more of that from me in the future. I was a little bit lax with the character consistency in this one, but honestly the tools are all there. Really excited to see where this takes me.
Midjourney video is instantly my favorite video model. The character consistency and 3D structural integrity are BONKERS. VEO 3 obviously has the edge on audio and dialogue, but honestly these generations are so visually satisfying to me that itâs easily my favorite video model. The style and intent of the frame is so much more preserved than other tools without needing to prompt super specifically just to make sure it gets the mood and style memo.
Doing something new. Share your thoughts below đ
Ilistened to a podcast with #daviddeutsch on @cosmicskeptic podcast and had some further reflections about the implications of an idea he presented that I had never heard beforeâ that the primary cognitive directive which motivates us is the acquisition and comprehension of information. Itâs obvious when you think about it, but it clicked so many other ideas lâve been rolling around right into place.
This is not a declaration.
Itâs an observation of something. And a suggestion we might benefit from creating language to observe these higher dimensional conceptual âentitiesâ which manifest and operate through us both consciously and otherwise.
That sounds more wacky than I mean it to be, I just think that any system which organizes around an objective and attempts to maintain homeostasis is kinda eerily similar to a life-form, so do with that what you will.
Oh and take my use of âgodsâ here loosely. This doesnât encapsulate my spiritual beliefs, itâs a useful way to communicate the reason ancient deities emerge from primal urges and became shared icons of vital concepts once we were able to prise them from unconsciousness.
Warning: There may be some errors or missteps in here, itâs pretty late đ

UTOPIA | asks the question âWhat happens when we canât escape the power our own creation?â full resolution version. This is an idea that I have had for a very long time and itâs really cool just to see some version of that dream brought to life in this way. Ai is getting out of hand now that itâs becoming so simple to get the characters to actually take proper actions. I had a blast putting this together.. #ai #sora #generativefill #fantasy #film #aiartist #aiartist #aishort #scifi #genai #kling2 #openai #suno @sunomusic@klingai_official@openai@photoshop
UTOPIA | 1. âmusicâ made with @sunomusic . 2. No music- my mix isnât great but Sound Design goes a long way to bring ai images to life. My first #aishort film teaser using only a two(.5) part workflow of @OpenAI #sora (for stills) âphotoshop #generativefill for patchworkâ and @Kling_ai Ai #kling2 (for clips) yesterday. One day project. Maybe 1000 credits? A little low effort color grading. Even Kling 1.6 is bonkers #UTOPIA #genai #imagetovideo #ai #aiartist #dystopian #mood #apocalyptic #scifi #fantasy #film
