Artificial Intelligence Video And The Declaration Of State Of Educational Emergency

Artificial Intelligence Video And The Declaration Of State Of Educational Emergency

I will be playing the video in question, in the background, as I narrate the title text.

I grabbed one of my poems this week, and told AI to make a command named narx.

That will, clone my voice and make a replica narrated-poem.

I found some bugs, weird noises, strange pauses, my voice was not accurate.

But in general, I liked what I heard, so I decided to keep going.

I expanded the narration program, to generate super precise captions.

So I was generation audio from text, and converting generated audio to captions.

Which is text again, but with precise timestamps.

I then I wrote a nifty program. To send the captions to my local AI.

With instructions to imagine, a series of photographs that match the captions.

And to time them expertly, so that I can illustrate the narration of my poem.

This worked frighteningly well, and created a description of over a 100 photographs.

I then fed those descriptions, into my image generation program imgx.

I used ernie model but it took 3 minutes per photo, then flex klein, which to my shock took 3 seconds per photo.

This was not without trouble, because my captions are in XML text format.

I needed a way, to make into a plain text format.

And I wrote xml-happy, which takes XML converts it to JavaScript objects.

And applies a custom JavaScript program to it, a query.

I discovered a truly wonderful way, to work with XML.

I created a shell script directly from xml-happy, and executed it from bash – it was amazing.

And then I created a command, to take audio, captions….

When images should show, and the generated images.

And created an XML file, designed to be directly converted to video.


It worked, again with minor errors, captions being too fast.

The high resolution video with ken-burns photo effect being 1 gigabyte in size.

Audio was missing at first, and captions were too fast.

But it all worked, it was amazing to see it all come together.

With so many varied cute cat images, and ken-burns for an 8 minute video.

The whole feels great, no show stoppers.


I am currently designing a program, that visually stitches these commands.

Feeds captions from narration program, through a cable to the input of photo generator.

This is called visual programming, and the point is that you can drop more things on the cables.

Without getting confused, where everything is.


And I have a follow up video editor, where there are no cables.

The AI does all the commands, it just asks “Is the preview OK, should we keep going?”


After all of hits, I am now convinced, programming, never really quite worked until AI came around.

The only people who could swiftly iterate, had teams of developers.

And today, a large team of developers, just costs $12/mo.


This is not sad, what is sad, is that the world isn’t reacting to this.

News outlets won’t run it, because they peddle toxic crap.

And a lot of people are cut off, and may not realize their entire education was ineffective.

Not their fault, the teachers coudn’t teach, and make money at the same time.

So they invented rule following, and performance scores.

Which can’t teach anything, and certainly not programming which requires honestly.


This incredible power being denied to adults, id why I declare a state of educational emergency.

The future is no longer compatible, in any way, with ineffective or fake education.

Sentencing young people to fake education, is now a cruelty like few others.


Ask AI, for help with learning programming.

After years of programming in a dozen languages I personally chose JavaScript because of its reach.

Desktop Electron Applications, Node.js Command Line, NativeScript that runs on a toaster.

And of course JavaScript/ECMAScript, is the language of the Web.

I repeat, this is a state of emergency, do not pretend to learn, that future has been closed.

Begin learning JavaScript, with the help of your favorite AI.
