Listen now to THE GRAIN with Ronit Novak, as I continue my series of podcast probes into the pleasure and peril of AI and the future of creativity—recorded at Made Human Studios in the Little Jamaica neighbourhood of Toronto, Canada.

Links to some stuff we talk about…

* Sora: First Impressions with the debut of ‘Air Head’ by Shy Kids [OpenAI]”What excites us is its ability to make things that are totally surreal. A new era of abstract expressionism”

* What Sora AI-generated videos look like combined with real-world actors and locations [No Film School]A look at how ‘Deflated’ by Shy Kids combined generative AI with traditional filmmaking

* Pressman Film developing Shy Kids’ ‘AUTOBiOGRAPHY’ [Deadline]When this compassionate AI connects with the internet the exponential expansion of its cognition leads to an existential crisis that propels it on a spiritual journey of self-discovery
