Writing INFO

I am a producer, writer and filmmaker exploring AI in film and TV. I am passionate about internet behaviour.

I’m currently with FLORA, a tool based creative tech-startup, where I help rewrite the creative process and produce compelling content across various pillars.

I build thoughtful, fun, futurist, ficitious and humorous speculations.

Writing as Prompting Engineering—Producer

An interrogation into how writing with LLM’s changes how we think and create. I speculate how I train my LLM to see the thing that no one else sees, as opposed to what everyone else sees.

Life of a Spacesuit: Synthetic Intelligence & Beyond Examining The Awkwardness of AI

Life of A Spacesuit uses a synthetic machine’s current potential to stretch what is and what is not capable of an LLM to analyze, speculate and imagine. It stops somewhere between science and total fiction, producing something half-baked.

In examining the stickiness, the awkwardness of AI, I hold a microscope to the corners of imagination that AI posesses. How many ‘speculative’ or ‘inviable’ situations can AI imagine for an entirely realistic prompt?
