Highly political. Joe Biden just stutters his memes in his wheelchair and Donald Trump asked me why I don't have the 5th Avenue in my Big City. Now the Trump Tower can't exist on my sim. I would have the Park Avenue and even Madison Avenue but not the 5th Avenue. He believes that the Trump Tower is the greatest of all and it would be a shame that it doesn't exist in my Big City Life.
Anyway. Elon Musk came by coincidence and congratulated me to my AI Research Center and suggested that I should become his consulting assistant for AI research. Trump was a bit astonished and made one condition. If I would build the 5th Avenue with his Trump Tower then it would be ok. lol (in virtual reality all is possible and we are all billionaires lol )

Expo Center on Big City Life
My little showcase in Opensim on Big City Life sim for what you can do with AI software. In this video you see first AI generated video with Runway Gen 2 by me. Those are old right now. But you can see then the new work of Nicolas Neubert made with Runway Gen 3 alpha. I made some background film music with AIVA AI to round it up matching for the whole video. The Music of the Hoarfrost video is origin soundtrack of Ninja Tracks. This promo shows how fast and easy you can see the AI video installations in Expo Center just by walking in the square, if you have your mediaplayer in Firestorm on auto play. You walk in the square on ground and the video is showing directly. In Expo Center are right now 3 videos of Nicolas Neubert on tape you can choose with blue menu by clicking on the tape.
I try to update the newest development and show now also an example of Veo 2 (text to video) of Deepmind, which is astonishing what you can do already. The AI is developing rapidly and exponential. You can say already that new AI for video especially is changing every month. For all the AI software you can get and use I recommend to go in my AI research Center. You get all information about different AI and purposes with links to the websites there.
In the Expo Center you find also a lot of other works. Artists in opensim show their AI generated pictures like Pat Babii and Sergio Rodriguez but there is also analog art made in rl like oil painting of ieko and acryl painting of Essensual McMahon. If you are fan of classic artists like Caspar David Friedrich or Vincent van Gogh you will find it there, too.
You can reach directly the expo center with blue bus and train at Zoo railway station. From there just follow the hostesses that walk the path from railway station to expo center and you can even talk with them, while you both walk the path. Or drive by yourself with car and follow the signs to Zoo. Then you will come automatically to Zoo, open air pool and Expo center.

Tout droit sorti des Ateliers Atlas, qui se déroulent tous les lundis, cela ressemble à un distributeur de confiseries. Mais celui-livre ses chocolats aux avatars depuis une page web où ils passent commande. Est-ce le début d'une free marketplace, comme cela a existé brièvement sur Second Life, mais cette fois sur l'hypergrid ? Les obstacles sont nombreux, mais nous ne désespérons pas.
This vending machine delivers objects from the web, or tries to. Delivering over the hypergrid is a tough task, may require augmenting the codebase and may not be possible in all cases, like when the grid has no knowledge of the recipient.

So the other day when I was working at our mall, a dear soul contacted me and said she didn't see a sales box in front of the ziggurat, well that was because they were not for sale only because they were a really sloppy build. I gave her one but felt bad because I don't like giving sloppy builds so, I drug it back into blender and cleaned it up, added ramps on the steps, brushed off the dirt and set it out for folks to get for sale for free!!! This Ancient Ziggurat will make any ancient build look amazing and realistic. Stop by the mall and get your copy and enjoy....and yes I've since given her a nice, neat, clean copy. Cheers, blessings and much love, Lavia

I'd like to announce that I'm going on vacation from OS for a time. But I've been on a vacation from OS already, for maybe two months now, and I'd have to interrupt my vacation to say that I'm not going on vacation because I'm already on vacation. So, no announcements. Mainly because, at this point, I'm confused about the whole vacation thing. However, while I'm pretty sure I'm on vacation from OS, I still log in to OSW on occasion to check on the What Are You Looking For group. The helpers there have been, and continue to be, incredible! Anyways, if you want to send me a message, I'm likely to see it, and I might just answer.

On April 9th, the Board of Directors convened and resolved to augment its membership by two individuals, thereby ensuring a quorum. Subsequently, it was unanimously decided to extend membership offers to Unadecal Masala and Roland Francis. I am pleased to confirm that both candidates graciously accepted, and on April 11th, our inaugural board meeting took place, yielding fruitful outcomes.
The newly appointed board members will undertake pivotal responsibilities, including reviewing and adjudicating art submissions, voting on prospective projects, and contributing to strategic decisions concerning the gallery's operations. Additionally, they will engage in various board-related duties.
To foster creativity, we are excited to announce the integration of a dedicated workspace within the gallery premises, facilitated by a small sim. This space will serve as a collaborative hub for artists, providing an opportunity for mutual encouragement, support, and artistic synergy within the Open Sim community.
We extend heartfelt congratulations to Una and Roland on their appointments. Your expertise and commitment will undoubtedly enrich our board, and we eagerly anticipate your contributions.

This space will serve as a collaborative hub for artists, providing an opportunity for mutual encouragement, support, and artistic synergy within the Open Sim community.
We extend heartfelt congratulations to Una and Roland on their appointments. Your expertise and commitment will undoubtedly enrich our board, and we eagerly anticipate your contributions.

Tarot V3. This is a new version that I just made on 3/16/2024. It now can do reversed cards, and ill dignified cards. Now it automatically chooses whether the card is up right or reversed, and shows the appropriate meaning. I took the seed from the random number generator built into the computer, which is run by a crystal on the mother board of your computer. This crystal vibrates at a frequency and produces the number out of the vibrations. Amazing! Anyway, This new tarot table can show normal and reversed cards as a result, making the entire process much easier to read, and it now more closely follows the laws of chance just like shuffling a real life deck of tarot cards. Whether a card is ill dignified or well dignified is determined by looking to the cards to the left and right of the card. If one is reversed and one is normal they cancel each other out so the card stands as is. If both are normal it is positive reinforcement and strengthens the card in the middle. If both are negative then they weaken the center card substantially. So now it works like real tarot and the real celtic cross! Come get yours at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Wizardry.

A tall ship battle , ships with crews ! It's great fun. This is last ship standing ( mine :) ) burning! No cargo to steal, all was burned ! With many thanks to the Catronian Archipelago group members to make this event exciting.
The Awesome Greeter. Why is this Greeter awesome? Well. It is full perm. But it also has a lot of features other greeters do not have. It gets a list of everyone in the region and if there are new people in the list then it greets them. But not like other greeters do. It greets each individual person by getting their Key and using the special function called llRegionSayTo(). This creates way less lag in the simulator, as the script only speaks to ONE person and doesn't llRegionSay for the entire sim to hear. Normally people use llRegionSay, instead of llRegionSayTo, which is a lot more laggy. Another reason it's so great, is it plays a nifty little alert, and it updates the list every 5 seconds. If someone leaves it removes their name from the people-that-are-here list within 5 seconds. Then it will greet them again when they come back with a nice pleasant tone. It's at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Wizardry. Once you set it down and leave it alone, you can make it invisible or tiny or stick the script & the sound in some other statue or something.
Many greeters use laggy llSensorRepeat() function with a short range. But really don't you want someone to be greeted whether they tp into the middle of your grid, or on some far corner?

| | alexa maurer osw: the greeter is good, just a suggestion, where it says Welcome to xyz! replace xyz with llGetRegionName() overall very useful. 11 months ago |

For the last 3 weeks, I have dealt with a intermittent issue on my grid that has about driven me nuts. I have tested, and eliminated possibilities …..without luck.
Yesterday two of the largest grid owners in open sim, Lone Wolf from Wolf Territories and Josh Boam from Aviworlds, took time from their busy schedules to help finally fix this issue. In addition , Rafael from Wolf Territories assisted. I cannot say thanks enough!
Although I work with Josh’s hosting business, this involved much more. Josh would not give up and recruited Lone Wolf.
In my opinion, maybe this is what opensim was designed to be: sharing of knowledge and helping each other.
Lone Wolf and Josh did not have to give up their time to help a tiny grid…..but they did!
Maybe we can all learn from these individuals!
Sharing knowledge is Caring
FYI. The default setting of 2 threadsets can cause major headaches depending on your region….it is way too low in some cases. You all probably know that…but I learned.

When you come to Welcome at cyberdatastorm, if you use the environment settings, the air has a very smoky quality without the lag of 'smoke' particles. This effect is created through the environment loading in the menus. My welcome is very simple, so that people can load quickly without a lot of things to weigh them down. I believe it is always good to have a simple and easy to load welcome area on your grid. Everything is done in simple black & white. From my opensim beacon, to my visitor list, to region teleport sign.
