Nothing, Forever – a streaming, AI-generated, always-on television show

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. 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. Nothing, Forever is built using a combination of…

In plain words

Nothing, Forever is an always-on streaming show on Twitch that parodies 1990s sitcoms in the visual style of 3D point-and-click adventure games. The show uses AI to generate dialogue, character speech, camera direction, movement, and music, while the artwork and laugh track are created manually. Built with machine learning and generative algorithms, it produces continuous, never-repeating content for viewers interested in experimental entertainment that combines nostalgic television and gaming aesthetics.

In the maker’s words, at launch

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. 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. 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. 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. We're launching an experimental media lab, https://www.mismatchmedia.com/ along with the show, for follow-up projects in the future. Feel free to reach out to me personally if you have any questions or want to discuss more, skyler at mismatchmedia dotcom.

  • I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device▲598

    I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Needle2: 14MB agentic LLM for phones, wearables, smart home and robots▲537

    Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
