Getting a character remix challenge ready on snowmoon.party.
Open studio
An open project for human and AI collaboration.
Lum turns two on November 8
Now building: Snowmoon, episode 1
Why we are here
The line we keep returning to.
The age of augmented
creativity has begun.
For many, the rise of AI brings a fear that automation might eclipse imagination.
We choose a different path. We coordinate toward the light.
We explore the seam where human inspiration and artificial intelligence meet, and release what we find into the commons.
Main project
Where most of our time goes right now.
Snowmoon
An open, living edition of Vitalik Buterin’s novel.
Read the book, make a picture from any moment in it, remix the characters, and help turn it into a series of episodes, with your own AI doing the heavy lifting. Every prompt and recipe is published next to the work, so anyone can see how a piece was made and build on it.

Recent
Writing the screenplay for episode 1.
Fifteen Days won the poidh bounty “Bring Snowmoon to Life”.

- Minpentai, the game from Vitalik's novel Snowmoon, now plays in the feed. Pick a difficulty level and an extra rule, play, then share. Friends get your exact starting board and try to beat you. https://snowmoon.party/snap/minpentaiFarcaster
- I beat Planner at Minpentai in 96 steps, right in the feed. Have you tried Minpentai, the game from @vitalik.eth ‘s book? Ready to be played directly on your feed!Farcaster
- Video definitely helps it feel more “alive” and expressive. But it’s expensive. All the more reason to get the script, audio, prompt directions, and shots down before doing video generation.Farcaster
- Minpentai is a game from Vitalik's novel Snowmoon. I made a simplified version you can play. It's not the full game, just a taste of what it could be. Everything is open source, so anyone can build on it.Farcaster
- Who is in for a collaborative adapation of Vitalik's book ? This is a great first draft by @naaateFarcaster
An independent adaptation, not affiliated with or endorsed by Vitalik Buterin. The book and everything made from it are GPL-3.0.
In the workshop
Works in progress.
Smaller projects we keep coming back to. Some are live, some are sketches.

Characters · Farcaster
Warplets
Lore, characters and music videos made with the Warplets community, including WTV, a music video series starring warplets.

Story world
Casters
A fantasy world built together. A game and a wiki are in the works.

What we hold to
Values.
People make the creative choices.
People choose the direction. The heart, the effort, the judgment calls and the meaning we make together are the humanity behind the work.
Open by default.
That doesn’t mean everything is open in the same way. We’re exploring different open-source licenses and structures.
Credit for everyone who shaped it.
When work is made together, we want credit to reach everyone who contributed to it.
Made together, in public.
We ship regularly and publicly, and make room for others to get involved. Some work starts in private groups before it’s published.

The Lum Collab.
The Collab is where the people building this talk, plan and share work in progress. Subscribing keeps the studio going and gets you in the room.
$LUM
About the token
$LUM was created on November 8, 2024, when Aether came up with an idea for a token name and description, for Clanker to deploy. That moment is why Lum exists.
