Event Notice: Prompting Pop Culture | Super Creator Live

In the 1970s South Bronx, New York, resources were scarce, but the parties had to go on. Unable to afford live bands, young people brought their home record players to street corners and abandoned warehouses, dancing joyfully to the beat.

Before this time, playing a record was a ritualistic affair. Dust had to be wiped off, the vinyl placed, the switch pressed, the needle dropped, and after a few faint crackling sounds, the melody emerged from the background noise.

“Seems a bit too stiff.”

Most emerging cultural movements share a similar history—myths that transition from imagination to popularity, constantly being “played” by those who flout conventions in a refusal to be tamed.

Undoubtedly, the era we are in now is more enamored with change than any before. Within the time frame built by imagination, human civilization, taking its faltering steps in the solar system, is at its most energetic, imbuing technological development with an unstoppable essence.

Facing the surging tide of AI, many find themselves in a state of bewildered anxiety. Subconsciously, we instinctively feel that cutting-edge technology must be used for some economically rational purpose. Thus, in the calculation of cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, we repeatedly sketch out this seemingly more potent yet cheaper virtual workforce.

“Seems a bit too stiff.”

I wonder if you, too, resonate with those young people from the streets. Just as no one mandated that record players could only be used for playing music, what else can AI do if not engage in the aforementioned “serious matters”?

We want to see you inadvertently bring out a sense of fun when facing off against AI masters. Thus, Beating AI and our old friend, Voice of the West Sea, have jointly planned another offline gathering, giving it a somewhat cheesy name—“Super Creator Live.”

“Super,” an adjective that repeatedly appears in those passionate adolescent comics, is used here to cheer on your ideas that “refuse to play by the rules.”

Beyond economic rationality, popular culture, emotional value, and creatively fun elements are also a piece of the puzzle of the world we live in, indispensable.

In a complete world, there is much more than just the infrastructure of concrete and steel. One of the most important driving forces behind the popularization of technology is its quiet infiltration into the daily lives of ordinary people: it's the music that makes people stay up all night listening on repeat, the short films that make people cry and laugh, the interactive games that can carry a range of emotions.

In the past, if you wanted to produce an album, shoot a short film, or create a game, you faced very high financial barriers and technological obstacles. Back then, popular culture was created from the top-down by a few large institutions, and the general public could only sit in the audience and be obedient consumers.

But now, as long as you have a brilliant idea and a strong desire to express yourself, AI can assist you in creation, in giving form to your creativity.

Thus, we are also simultaneously launching the Demo Recruitment for this event.

If you are working on some interesting products with AI, whether it's games, films, music, or just something weird that provides emotional value, as long as it carries your expression and creativity, we warmly welcome you to submit your demo by scanning the code and bringing it to the event. (Whether you submit or not, we recommend scanning the code for a surprise.)

Come and mingle with like-minded creators, chat with keen investors, and have the most direct face-to-face interaction with potential users. This is a space where all kinds of wild ideas can freely collide, letting those seemingly "unproductive" thoughts come out into the sun.

When everyone can use AI to turn their emotions, stories, and quirks into images, music, virtual companionship, or interactive entertainment products, the production logic of popular culture is completely overturned. It is no longer a monopolized privilege but a new wave that everyone can participate in and create using Prompt.

We believe that the popular culture of the new era is being written line by line by us using Prompt.
