GARAGE AI II: World Famous "BONE"
Code, Pig Rap + History's First AI Global Troll
INTRO * SINGULAR GLOBAL AI TROLLING * PIGS RAPPING
He did it, himself, in his “AI Garage” laboratory in sunny Florida.
It was creativity and AI tools.
But it was more, much more.
I’ve long said that “Thinking is the currency of AI.” This is true.
Since AI is thoughtware masquerading as software,
and deals with “meaning data” — digital mimesis
»» much of the thinking for people is and will be “done for them.”
As a consequence, human beings habitual as they are (to be blunt), fewer will think, and fewer will think well, unfortunately
Under the law of supply and demand,
and since AI is thoughtware,
the thinkers will be in GREAT DEMAND and will rise.
“But Cyrus, but Cyrus, what has this to do with the world’s first AI global troll, pigs rapping, and code.”
Guys, as Einstein himself said, “Imagination is more valuable than knowledge.” Put another way, CREATIVITY (which is only many new thoughts) is of supreme value. In the idea-realm of AI, it fits like hand to glove.
CREATIVITY, or multi-thinking underlies the creation of all AI that ever will be.
And so, it matters more than what comes out. Even if we think what comes out is silly or trivial or of no consequence. In a database we cannot be sure. In the realm of imagination, the rest of us cannot be so sure as the creator.
BoneGPT (on X) shocked the entire world with his creativity + AI = INSTANTLY OVERNIGHT — He is the author of history’s first worldwide global “AI Troll.” (to the uninitiated, “troll” here means joke or prank).
ONE “ANONYMOUS” MAN WITH A THOUGHT + AI + THE GLOBAL MEDIA ECOSYSTEM AND THE FOLLOWING PUBLICATIONS

BizPac Review (U.S.-based; similar coverage of the troll and fact-check fallout)

His phone and socials lit up and his X account blew up. What did he do?
One tweet. One post.
Bone took a real image and put it into an AI model (and likely asked for a painting rendering) and and generated the image left then “noted” on his X account (innocuously quite simply) that it was an “eerie pre-prediction.”
It took off. Everyone fell for it. I fell for it; even texting to my family chat.
