Hey everybody, we're finally launching our always-on, generative show -- Nothing, Forever -- streaming on Twitch. Nothing, Forever is a parody of '90s sitcoms, done in the style of '90s point-and-click PC games (but, you know, in 3D). We set out to build something weird, new, and novel, and this is what we ended up with.<p>Aside from the artwork and the laugh track you'll hear, everything else is generative, including: dialogue, speech, direction (camera cuts, character focus, shot length, scene length, etc), character movement, and music.<p>Nothing, Forever is built using a combination of machine learning, generative algorithms (we use 'generative' here in a non-academic sense), and cloud services. Our stack is mostly comprised of Python + TensorFlow for our ML models, TypeScript + Azure Functions and Heroku for our backend, and C# + Unity for the client, with some neural voice APIs thrown into the mix.<p>Heading into the future, we plan to leverage OpenAI's davinci models for our dialogue -- we actually have an integration already, but the cost is too prohibitive to run full time -- as well as leveraging Stable Diffusion for art generation.<p>We're launching an experimental media lab, <a href="https://www.mismatchmedia.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mismatchmedia.com/</a> along with the show, for follow-up projects in the future.<p>Feel free to reach out to me personally if you have any questions or want to discuss more, skyler at mismatchmedia dotcom.
