Not enough people have seen my 6.5 minute speculative short sci-fi film “The Avatar in Chief”. Please show this to 5 of your friends, and ask them to do the same. If this happens just 15x we will have raised awareness to over 30 billion people. It’s ya boi

Fable isn't the first.
In 1999 the department of defense blocked exports of the PowerMac G4 for crossing the 1 gigaflop threshold.
Steve Jobs turned it into an ad.

There’s kind of a “medium is the message” type subtext happening around Apple’s post-Covid turn to doing pre-taped keynotes that arguably contributed to their 2024 AI vaporware story. They lost the institutional culture of the live demo that was keeping them honest. It’s ya boi

One interesting pattern with Fable 5 is that it will often say things that are gibberish when I use it for coding. Things like "The morning's slim-scan fix cured the scan hang", "this is a latent-drift API-shape wrinkle", etc.
When I ask why it does this, Fable explains that it invents codenames while reasoning about the problem, then fails to realize they're meaningless to me. Its neuralese is blending into its output because of a theory-of-mind failure about what's in its head vs. mine.

What I’m learning is that the language of cinema can be very powerful for demonstrating futurist scenarios

Quite remarkable art. I think, given AOC's political positions, that she will not and would not do this, and it should only be shared with extreme clarity that it is not a representation of her. Nonetheless it's a terrific piece of near-term science fiction.

This is a piece of art. This will be remembered as the first of its kind: sharp, insanely high production value “what if” political/comedic commentary that uses AI in exactly the best ways.
