OSCC: Chain of Thought – AI, the condor of mind

OSCC Keynote 2 1 years ago | 2024-12-07 10:30 SLT
Over the past few years, I have presented numerous (impossible) ideas, offered (unusual) ways to go, and shared (impossible) perspectives, mainly in the field of the arts. Now, the time has come to look beyond and to step forward. In 1981, Steve Jobs introduced “The bicycle for the mind”, the computer. I am excited to present the next evolution: the condor for the mind – the first AGI.

I will offer a glimpse into mesh creations out of words.

OSCC: WebRTC voice for OpenSimulator

OSCC Keynote 2 1 years ago | 2024-12-07 08:30 SLT
SecondLife voice support is changing from Vivox to WebRTC. Since the Vivox voice servers are going to stop working, OpenSimulator will lose its voice support until a new open source service is created and integrated into the OpenSimulator sources. This presentation describes my project to create such a service. Linden Labs has been generous enough to publish the format and protocols for the new voice support. This makes possible a new service.

OSCC Do You Know Who I Am? Avatars & Identities

OSCC Keynote 2 2 years ago | 2023-12-09 17:00 SLT
Assumptions and biases towards the person behind the avatar may be based on the experience or lack of experience a person has with avatars in virtual spaces. While those of us who have been in virtual worlds for a long time tend to have fewer assumptions about avatars in general, a recent experience with university administration resulted in a total shutdown of a space dedicated to student mental wellness.

OSCC MSG ART, Say What?

OSCC Keynote 2 2 years ago | 2023-12-09 11:00 SLT
As we’ve previously established last year, art is art, whether its created in the outer world with physicals substances like paint or digitalized on a computer or words fed as prompts to an AI. And all art conveys a message, but do we want the visual of the message to be controlled by a messenger or the message to be formulated by a viewer? My new art revolution is “take full control of my art!” Come learn why and how I do this?
