I get teary eyed when I’m trying to keep alive the techno-optimist vision of the multi-planetary multi-intelligence civilization we’ve always dreamed of. A contact graph across hundreds of star systems. Just uploaded it to YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZgq...

I was impressed with how Opus 5.5 would generate reference images with one model, decide they're good but not great, then use a different one. And I didn't have participate in that decision nor set up dozens of API keys in anticipation of this. And my CF dash shows usage across 10 different models.

Video: I used a modified version of donaldjewkes' prompt, except I gave Opus 5.5 access to the full buffet of models available on Cloudflare via API, told them I trust their judgement on who’s good at what, and they made the implementation decisions. developers.cloudflare.com/ai/models/

Implementation Details: Audio: I had Suno make a techno cover of my 2011 recording, then make a model of my voice and add my voice back in. Suno’s voice model of me has managed to capture some of my weird little imperfections in my singing even if it’s not exact.

Here is the version I recorded hastily in May 2011 with my guitar to send to some folks at SETI so they could hear the song ahead of an event, which was how I unearthed it from my gmail archives since we rarely recorded anything.

Jade Wang @jadewang.me · 27/09/2026

We also played a lot of covers, mostly Weird Al, Tom Lehrer, Jonathan Coulton. Oh! There’s also another version of this song where Charlie would literally sing the Drake Equation at the end of the song. And yeah, it was a real mouthful, but also hilarious.

We called ourselves Robot Ninja Apocalypse (RNA), & gather at the original Hacker Dojo firehouse after work, where we'd do all our songwriting and playing while hanging out with all our nerdy friends. Charlie and I would sing, and Ricky Wong @rickywong.bsky.social would do the best guitar solos.

To help with the SETI crowdfunding campaign, we wrote a song about the Rare Earth Hypothesis, and we’d perform it at nerdy gatherings and encourage people to donate. “Rare Earth” vocals by Jade Wang co-written by Jade Wang and Charlie van Norman (RNA band: Robot Ninja Apocalypse)

In early 2011, the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) went dark due to lack of funding, and there was a crowdfunding campaign to bring the ATA back online. (This was back when I was a postdoc at NASA Ames Research Center.)

I made a techno remix out of a song I recorded with an acoustic guitar in 2011, and asked Opus 5.5 for a music video with a JavaScript-forward art style. (It’s DDR optimized. Anyone else here plays DDR and is interested in steps?) 🧵

Every puzzle requires a skill the human is good at and a skill the AI is good at. I need playtesters who love puzzles. Who played the original trilogy and survived. Book 3, Tao of Totality, is available only in private beta to the playtester group red teaming it and helping me patch guardrails.

Expanding the overall “possibility space” of what art can become, I’ve already started working on the next phase of the art project: An in-browser escape room that requires a human and their AI co-pilot to solve co-op puzzles in order to advance the plot, building on the original trilogy as lore.

About a little girl who hid inside a wall from immigration police and survived. Who became a classical musician and a neuroscientist and a NASA scientist who started hacker houses. Startup founder and investor and parent and poet and artist. Improbable coin flips all heads in a row.

The question I’m exploring myself: * What is possible today that was not possible before? * What art can explore the possibility space of what art can become? As radically different as filmmaking? * Can a painting truly look back at the observer? * Can I write a book that reads the reader back?

And in the era that followed. For art: Impressionism, surrealism, cubism, all the abstract art movements For cameras: photography become its own art form. Filmmaking, unlocked as an art form.

Patrons who once sat for hours for their painted portraits could get a daguerreotype in minutes. Newspapers printed article after article about how photographers were lazy artists who can’t draw.

Jade Wang @jadewang.me · 15/06/2026

The prophecy from the dawn of the invention of the camera: cameras will kill off art. Artists will all lose their jobs. And it was partly true: legions of artists, employed to hand paint cigarette ads, lost their livelihoods that supported their passion side projects.

My wife @jadewang.me wrote a collection of poetry that is designed to be read by AI. To be clear, it is NOT written by AI. Jade wrote everything herself. But it contains puzzles that very few humans have enough context to figure out, but most frontier models do.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
