🌟 Quick Creative Play & Community Insights: My 15-Minute Cartoon + TED's Thoughtful Dialog 🎨 ✨

Here's what it looks like to PLAY creatively with AI. FYI, my creative collaborator on this cartoon was a new AI app, WebSim that leverages the power of Anthropic's Claude, the ChatGPT competitor discussed in last week's email. What have you created today? Contemplation of Being in Right Relationship with Change The times we are living through call for fresh conversations. Here's one: Because of the ways she talks about community and human connection, I've become obsessed (in a healthy way) with the work of adrienne maree brown. I was already a fan of Baratunde Thurston when I found this video of the two of them in concise dialog. Thanks TED. This means a lot to me. As a community builder, I love adrienne's question: "How am I a fractal of community?" I am intensely interested in being a fractal of something larger than myself. Plus, adrienne's use of the word "imagination" relates directly to why I think creativity is so important. If your life journey relates to this kind of conversation, please let me know. Got questions or other feedback? Please fire away!! Coming soon: New creativity framework mini-course. Happy creating! |
