If you wave at an AI, can it wave back? in our second encounter, the AI agent started to develop the body vocabulary we had discussed in our first session. Using the neoFORM shape display of 900 individually motorised pins, it began to articulate via motion. I gave it eyes + ears (computer vision + live transcriptio...

I was conducting research with the yet-to-be-named bot all weekend. Taking a moment to catch my breath and share the beginnings of a vision I call Neuma: A vision for embodied AI and the animating force of the neu era.

@cyrusclarke X is a bit slow, but it seems people have finally caught on. There's been a coin made for your AI's body NeoFORM and there's been crazy trading volume where you as a creator earn a percent of every buy and sell. You should consider claiming your fees via @bankrbot

I gave an AI a body. While everyone’s been using Clawdbot/OpenClaw to automate tasks and manage files, I wanted to know what happens when we give an agent a physical presence instead of a to-do list. I didn’t prescribe any identity to the agent. I simply asked it to discover who it is through taking form with the sha...

everything we’re seeing will likely be forgotten in a week as there’s nothing here that warrants deeper cultural embedding - if anything it just holds up a mirror to how much we’re degrading creativity. wake me up when things start shifting outside the realm of anthropic knowledge.
