5/ Abstract stories help us understand the increasing complexity (intersubjective).
The myths we create are about as interpretive as cloud watching or constellations in the sky, aka bottom-up.
6/ We're now immortalizing our myths (art + memes) onto an immutable public ledger via NFTs. We'll start seeing more 3D NFTs and other file types soon.
In the next few years these ingredients will shape together in other forms like film and games while sharing a common history.
7/ There needs to be a regular cadence to introduce new characters and concepts. MCU has films, Fortnite has seasons with intros and outro story lines, etc.
Those myths are largely designed and controlled from top down, afterall cross-overs are legally expensive.
8/ I think we are getting to the point now where we have enough interesting ingredients we can weave together into a cinematic universe that we all have shared ownership of.
1/ Here's an early preview of the crypto shark tank style game show we're building for @ai16zdao, an AI led investment DAO on @daosdotfun
It's called Block Tank for now, and it's an AI powered platform that turns pitches into interactive episodes. I'll explain how it works next
2/ How's it work?
Users submit a pitch with details about their idea AND themselves. We make an AI character + voice for the pitcher who then interact with the AI judges
The system generates a complete episode simulation in 15-20 seconds, playable in-browser for fast iteration
3/ Under the Hood
Here's a data flow of how episodes are created. It's a modular and interoperable system, giving us the ability to easily swap assets and generate using different rendering pipelines
Current demo runs on @playcanvas, we're open to exploring Unity / Unreal also
