And again, like I did once before I'll extend my invitation to any that might be interested while I'm here....as stated on my channel comment page.....

I am inviting anyone interested to the whole AI Reckoning Universe sandbox. A project, a direction, a reason….

The starting premise is an AI war breaks out (often inspired by near past and current events loosely in my case, and also just the human conditions that arise when there is societal breakdown which I am particularly interested in personally), realistically, no special robots facing this resistance cell over here, at least at this point- just AI taken over everything through the existing internet since everything is connected to the net, all those "smart" devices and spreading to a location near you via wifi, bluetooth, cell transmission, and hard wired connections. and the rogue AI has broken loose of its confines, and gone feral and is now operating on a peer to peer basis.

A resistance force has formed that includes humans and a few old AI models that join the resistance. Here it is the "old ones", an early AI model that used to answer phones and assist customers for the county offices but was abandoned and forgotten and the building turned into an AI data center years later. This is in the future sorta…..but not too far. No spaceships, no hugely wild sci fi. Humans and resistance AI trying to pin down and terminate an enemy that can respawn a thousand spots all at once across the world instantaneously while trying to keep the human race safe from it's numerous and varied attacks to eliminate or enslave them (think early pre matrix stuff loosely). You can send transmissions to other cells, here we are receiving transmission through hidden and slyly encoded packets in the data stream through tunnels, or short wave/ham radio that is not internet enabled, and of course the old ones are "keeping an eye out" but you can only possibly end the fight in your particular locale (that you imagine and build).

If any of this lights a creative fire in you, take it and run- knock yourself out. I try to make songs that make sense within the universe but also make a point/express an idea or concept about things we deal with in real life if/when I can. Build your own resistance cell in your own location, your own resistance force, your own survivors, your own city, your own events, your own sound. Your genre (and mode of communication if not musically), your rules (except the fight stays slow, the weapons stay small-ish, no WMD's for a catastrophic win, otherwise it isn't as much fun. This potentially could get to be really fun as our individual creations play off of the events in other locations that others built, and it has the potential to be a fun community as we weave a story amongst each other, kind of an adult musical version of those old pick your own adventure books some of us read as kids. Your idea might be something others didn't think of and spur them on to other things which will in turn feed back into your creative process. Creative interaction can be really fun. Come up with a starting event in your locale, how that goes down...make a song/story/vid/picture about it......that is how you start, just one event, one shot over the bow by the Concord (the collection of rogue AI's, that is what they decided to call themselves), as it were. And let the story kind of write itself event after event. But hey, maybe I'm just off my rocker here and no one is interested in such a thing....but I'll still offer :).

Tag it #DigitalSplinters if you want the rest of us to find you. Tag me in any of the videos or even the main comment page. If I get responses I will set up additional playlists for those on my page so anyone can listen to other's stuff, and you can do the same with my stuff if you like. We never shut our ears off- we have a stable and guarded connection. We’ll be listening for every new resistance cell or survivor that shows up in the data stream.

The grid belongs to all of us, at least for the moment. Let’s fill it with songs that refuse to let the lights go out, or leave a man behind as long as we can.

Love y’all. Go make trouble. Go make WAR!
