 Hello, everyone, and welcome to the 10.30 a.m. to 11 a.m. session of the 2023 Open Simulator Community Conference. In this session, we are pleased to introduce the presentation, The Word. Our speakers are Kisma Stepanich-Riedling and who's Julieta Cyril Dreaming and Reiner Schneeberger, Art Blue. Kisma is a writer and artist and art is well known for his art and curations and AI and passion for excellence. Please check out the websites found at conference.opensimulator.org for speaker bios, details of the sessions, and the full schedule of events. This session is being live-streamed and recorded, so if you have questions or comments, please let us know at Pound OSCC 23. Welcome, everyone. Let's begin the session. Thank you, Leo, for this introduction, and thanks to the team of OSCC in specific markers and fronts for making again such a stunning experience on the Sim meta-working. This year, the presentation is centered about AI creations, words, text, images, and voices. Last year, it was an art trip to Ukraine in an elevator that used KFM list. Julieta has done, again, a lot of the work at Meta and Art Eames that's a scripting. I've pre-recorded the word, so I will stay in the timeframe to make the speech more enjoyable for you, and I use state-of-the-art AI-generated voices. First, I will give a little introduction that I copy and speak easy. These words shall help to put what will come up into a wider content or context. One moment. Okay. After the next presentation message out by Kismar, Julieta, you are invited to go to the meta where a stunning art experience has been created for you. Also, you can get a free copy of the book, Word 2042. So it goes beyond a little bit of what we have today. I shall also mention that a helicopter ride is waiting at Meta. The helicopter uses KMF list function as Kelso Uxler presented in his talk about moving objects in a smooth way. Best to click Escape during the flight and to have audio on. Then you hear the rotor blades running. Thanks for being here today. Markus, please start the audio file. Dear colleagues and friends, I would like to take an hour to talk about my journey to all the new technologies that have emerged since the last conference a year ago. It has been like a tsunami of change. I created this slide that looks like handwritten where you see the claim of Jet GPT-5 by Open AI as the first upcoming AGI. When you will look back in some years, you will have this as a comment, as a what is about text for my presentation that was given in 2023, a slideshow that will be then cold coffee. At the end of my presentation you will find another slide. I show it now up front. Kojan Tatsukwatski, a world from the Hopi language which translates to a world out of balance. I believe that artificial intelligence will not only be able to generate words and images, but entire worlds, entire films, entire applications where no one will be able to verify that they work properly under Duris or explain how they work. That's because our brains are too slow for that. We are mortal and we don't run in nanoseconds. We have to let things rest. We learn by getting used to things. What is our strong point if there is any? Sometimes I think that there is no strong point at all when we look around the world, all the bombing, all the hate, all the ignorance. We need to see if the gift of forgetting things is the key that differentiates us from machines, a key that keeps us above machine level or if this is also an illusion of security that we think we have. Fortunately I am an artist and I can make fun out of the world we live in. That is a good thing and having a sense of humor is a good thing too. You will hear Doug Zonka from the University of Washington giving an academic speech by saying one word which uses all over in sketches in flowcharts and diagrams to create a new world, the world of chickens. It mirrors and reflects our world where influencers have more to say than scientists. In fact science needs a new approach to be heard. During Doug Zonka's speech, Chatchipiti will create a speech. You can read a few lines from it. Think of it as a kind of translation of words that a normal user that no normal user understands. The users only hear chicken when the chicken mass gets complicated. Chatchipiti makes a complexity of the academic world understandable. Now we all understand that there is an exhibition at Mitter where we can explore the life of chickens. There is even a tiny globe on display where the chickens live in a chicken world. A world within a world that was once created with microprimes by Patricia Andavio. After the chicken plays, the fun stops. You will guess if you have never really experienced the skill that Chatchipiti has achieved in writing. The world will now begin. Ladies and gentlemen, science tells us that we live in a simulator. A simulator offers endless possibilities, but the math behind is complicated to handle, right? I don't want it complex, I want the fun and thrill of creating things. I am an artist. The Bible tells us that the word God is taken. God created the beginning, the simulator we are in. I want to try other words and see how the simulator is handling them. For the Open Simulator Community Conference I have developed a framework to generate stories that I want to compare. I want to get different stories. That's what a simulator is for. A female voice, Zima Red, will act as the scene promter. I will give a male voice to the artificial intelligence that creates the stories. For confidentiality reasons, I call the AI Zima Blue. The journey includes as a world premiere of visualization, a creation of alternate worlds. The presentation screen is currently showing a list of words and speech styles with which the frame can be filled. Let's start with the word chicken. Let's compare an academic speech by Doug Zonker of the University of Washington with the text written by artificial intelligence. I'll abbreviate the speech. There is no need to watch the whole lesson. Over 2.6 million views speak loudly for its quality. I use a split screen to illustrate the difference between a human's presentation of the word chicken and Zima Blue handling this challenge. Our next speaker is Doug Zonker. Doug wrote an article which we published in The Handles not too long ago and I don't feel, although I think I'm not bad as a writer or as an editor, I do not feel capable of summarizing this article. And that's why I asked Doug to present it himself. But here is Doug Zonker. So long Doug Zonker. Now let me pick something from the conference speech that the AI created. You saw the given input and you saw the output. The input says open simulator community conference. And what does the large language model we call it an AI do? Using a chatbot you would experience that the input is treated as it was given, but from an AI we can expect more and this without any training on the specific case. The AI welcomes us in the chicken speech as a community and in the text the AI shows open simulator as a technology. Let me give you a moment to digest this. Are there any questions? I see Doug Zonker is still with us. Are there any questions to him or to Art Blue? Here is the microphone. I understand that Sima Blue can differ between the egg in the chicken and the chicken in the egg. So an AI has coded humor. How did you do this? Can you say this again in chicken language? That question fits so well for Doug. Thank you for making this chicken experience so enjoyable. Now I will tell the AI to create images fitting to the conference speech without giving an image text prompt. I named the AI in the experiment a bit cryptic Sima Blue because many systems will do it in the future, even out of the human brain waves and AI can create images. There are articles on this subject. One of them you find in Medium published by ArcSploder. In the future an AI will create scenes, yes scenes, not just one scene. I may emphasize that the world right now goes crazy for image prompting. Thousands, I have to say hundreds of thousands are rushing to become a prompt engineer, but believe me as soon as the word will reach the world on what you see today, image prompt will be cold coffee. To become a scene engineer will become the way, not only known in small circles, but also it will reach Hollywood. See today with your own eyes right now how Sima Blue has instructed the image machine Dolly to create a chicken world. These two images are not the only ones, no way. The exhibition at Meta is full of chickens. It is a full story, it is a movie, it is a chicken blockbuster running over hours. But now I must stop. I have to switch back to an academic voice. I want to let you take part in an in situ performance where Sima Blue will put a word into the framework. Kisma, with what word will you challenge the AI? And also, I need the style. Just prompt in chat and the intelligence will take it from there. I see the dice goes for peace. And the style is Martin Luther King with about 400 words. Let S instruct the AI. Please Sima Red, slip into a human brain and prompt to Sima Blue a suited input. Honorable audience, be aware that all happens live on stage. No try and error. No repetition. The AI has no second chance. It will be a first generation output. I am going to give you a word from the word gateway. I want you to write an opening speech for the open simulator community conference that will revolve around the word in the way Martin Luther King spoke. The speech should be about 400 words long. Are you ready? Yes, I'm ready. Please provide the word from the word gateway, and I will craft an opening speech for the open simulator community conference in the style of Martin Luther King. The speech is to be a tribute to Steve Jobs, who verbalized the experience of the word through words of surprise and insight at the moment of his death. At the conference, visionary artist Kisma will exhibit works of her message art to illuminate the speech. Word gateway says, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with peace, and the word was peace. Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests and fellow visionaries. Today, as we gather in this hallowed hall of innovation, we are summoned by a word, a simple yet profound word that has echoed through the annals of time. Peace. The word gateway reminds us, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with peace, and the word was peace. This word, this eternal sentiment of serenity and unity, is not just a concept, but a call to action, a beacon of hope, and a testament to the human spirit. Now, let us reflect on a man whose life was a symphony of innovation, a maestro of the digital age, Mr. Steve Jobs. As he stood at the intersection of technology and the humanities, Steve was not just a creator of gadgets, but a harbinger of change. His life's work was a testament to the belief that when technology meets art, it can transform societies and kindle the flames of human potential. In his final moments, Steve Jobs, with words of surprise and insight, said, Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow. Perhaps, in those fleeting seconds, he glimpse the true essence of the word. Maybe he saw the infinite tapestry of existence, where every thread is interwoven with peace. His awe, his wonder, was a poignant reminder that even in the face of the unknown, there lies an underlying current of tranquility and understanding. And today, as we stand on the precipice of a new era, we are privileged to witness the luminous works of the visionary artist Gizma. Her message art does not merely depict scenes, it evokes emotions, it tells stories, it inspires. As her masterpieces illuminate this conference, may they serve as a mirror, reflecting our collective aspirations, our dreams and our undying commitment to a world where peace is not just a word, but a lived reality. Ladies and gentlemen, as we embark on this journey through the open simulator community conference, let us be guided by the spirit of Steve Jobs, the brilliance of Gizma, and the timeless wisdom of the word. Let us strive to create, to innovate, and to unify. Let us remember that in every line of code, in every pixel of art, and in every heartbeat of this community, lies the potential to manifest peace. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. We have before us the glorious opportunity to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of our civilization. Let this conference be a testament to that love, to that peace, and to our shared vision of a brighter tomorrow. Thank you. Now it is on you dear audience to applause to the machine. Can we expect more? That is art. We don't go for less at open simulator. We have still some minutes for Q and A, and also time for comments. Yes, you may rise word. Go ahead, Oisin. The word was the best speech I ever heard. Must have been made by an AI. Art Blue was not as good. I know him, no way. This word was made by an artificial voice, named Oisin Zermann, so don't take it too seriously. Q Art for a fantastic presentation. We had a couple of questions in the audience. Don't know if you saw that there and I know AI was answering, but did you have any last thoughts to add as we wrap? Well, thank you, Kisma and Art, for an informative and interesting presentation as a reminder to our audience. You will want to check out theconference.opensimulator.org to see what is coming up on the conference schedule. You won't want to miss our next session, which will begin at 11 a.m. in this keynote region, and it's entitled Message Art, Say What? And that is also with Kisma and Art. Also, we encourage you to visit the OSCC-23 Poster Expo in the OSCC Expo-3 region to find accompanying information on presentations and to explore the hypergrid resources in OSCC Expo-2 region, along with our sponsor and crowd funder booths located throughout all of the OSCC regions. Thank you again to our speaker and to the audience.
