What I revealed last week via the The Verse podcast has really begun to take on shape. I want to be clear - we are utilizing AI in the creation of this but no more than we are utilizing NFTs and our own imaginations.
All of this is born of early adopter technologists - coming together to see how we can bridge our passions for storytelling, fantasy worlds, technology, and more.
The above video is narrated by AI from Eleven Labs. The content was generated by Deep Seek from uploaded content that we created together using Claude with detailed prompts and very carefully defined rails. The stories themselves are born from a collaborative effort between many humans - guided primarily by me. We utilized AI generated anime characters that were minted as NFTs on the Lamina1 Network to form the basis of our story telling. The character images were created using NightCafe and were based on user input from the holders of another set of NFTs that I created (Lamsters) in an earlier effort at collaborative storytelling.
This whole process has been a multi-year endeavor by dozens of people - so please don’t make the mistake of thinking that the above genesis story of The Verse Layer as narrated above was something we just plopped into an AI bot and got the output from. This is what collaborative world building and story telling can look like.
Hundreds of hours. Dozens of people. Years. That is what it took to get the above - but I think it was worth it.
If you would like to be a part of this, we want you to be. Find more details at https://mster.quest
