Brian Shuster - "AI Pioneer, Metaverse Godfather"

In 2005 I wrote a novel about an AI that grows beyond anyone’s control. It was fiction then. It doesn’t feel like fiction now. I’ve wanted to make it into a film ever since. With today’s AI tools, I'm finally making it on my own, as a passion project. This is the trailer. I’d love to talk about the threat, and what we do about it.

Utherverse Halloween TWO DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL Put on your best costume and get ready for the most wicked techno DJs you've ever heard!!

OMG some scenes are so much harder than others 🤣

Before I get too far into this film, I’d like your help with the main cast. First up: Quinton. He’s an antivirus analyst at First Bit, the first person to spot the virus that becomes Minerva, and the last one anyone believes. Over a few days he goes from the guy nobody listens to, to the one people end up following. I based his look on myself, from a headshot of a younger me. Could you see him as your hero?

I have huge problems with this "SAFETY" bill proposal. With the rapid spread of locally run models, I don't believe it is possible for the govt. to prevent the release of dangerous ones (after the fact). What do you think? Do you share my concerns? AI is not containable in this kind of way imho. We need a solution that will work. I have some good ideas, but want to hear your thoughts!

Thank you to the people whose tools made this possible. A few years ago one person couldn’t have done this. First, a special thanks to my friend Peter and the team at @vorppix70228. Vorpix is where the trailer started: the concept and the staging, a first version of the idea that some of the scenes in this cut still come from. Then the building: Picture: @SpaceXSI (@grok, @imagine), @runwayml Voice, lip-sync and score: @elevenlabsio, @synclabs, @suno_ai_ And the AI I worked with every day: @claudeai @AnthropicAI If it speaks to you, a repost helps it reach people who should be part of this conversation. Follow @Brian_Shuster if you’d like to keep talking as the film comes together.

So much to announce! So much $UTHR to give away!!
