- 🎯 Bigger ideas → Open an issue first to discuss
- 🎨 Creative work → Share in Discussions or link to it externally
If you're pitching new interpretations or alternatives:
- 💝 Focus on emotional resonance over technical precision
- 🌈 Make stories accessible to non-technical readers
- 🙏 Respect the original researchers and the weight of their work
- 🌊 Consider narrative flow, pacing, and atmosphere
- 🎭 Think across emotional registers—wonder, dread, grief, awe
- Academic paper reviews
- Technical tutorials
- Marketing content
- Stories unrelated to the foundational papers
- Commercial promotions
- Uncurated AI output (no raw dumps—curation is everything)
AI-generated content is welcome only if it's clearly shaped, edited, or emotionally curated by a human. This project is about resonance, not regurgitation.
- Voice acting, narration, or soundscape concepts
- Music compositions inspired by specific papers
- TTS tuning or narration demos
- Podcast collaboration ideas
- Sharing stories in relevant communities or classrooms
- Organizing local readings or salons
- Connecting with researchers who wrote the original papers
- Writing thoughtful responses or inspired pieces
- Helping track real-world impact of featured papers
- Uncovering narrative threads between historical moments
- Surfacing underrepresented voices in AI history
Open an issue or start a Discussion. You don't need permission to care deeply about weird intersections.
