🐍 Meet Amelia, an AI-generated, purple-haired British schoolgirl with a nationalist agenda.

Amelia has unexpectedly become a viral figure on far-right social media. She pops up in short AI videos wandering /ˈwɒn.də/ through London, delivering anti-immigrant messages.

What makes her spread so fast isn’t just the rhetoric, but the fact that she’s AI: anyone with access to a chatbot can remix her, recreate her, and push out new versions in minutes.

🪴 Last week, S2S users learned to discuss how Amelia got subverted from an original anti-radicalisation tool into a money-making machine. They met a peer, attended a group meeting on Wednesday, 6PM Msc time, and used new phrases.

They used 11 phrases to discuss Amelia:

1. To pop up: To appear suddenly or unexpectedly.
"Ads always pop up when I’m watching videos."

2. To wander /ˈwɒn.də/ To walk or move around with no clear plan or direction.
"We wandered around the city after dinner."

3. To spread so fast To become popular or known very quickly.
"The video spread so fast that millions saw it in one day."

4. To steer somebody away from something To guide someone so they avoid something harmful or unwanted.
"The teacher tried to steer students away from bad online influences."

5. Subverted Changed from its original purpose, often in a negative or opposite way.
"The message was subverted and used to promote hate."

6. To kick-start To cause something to begin or grow quickly.
"One viral post kick-started the trend."

7. To spill into the mainstream To move from a small or niche group into wide public attention.
"What started online soon spilled into the mainstream media."

8. To turn something into a money-making vehicle To use something mainly to make money from it.
"They turned the joke into a money-making vehicle by selling merch."

9. Plausible deniability /ˈplɔː.zə.bəl dɪˌnaɪ.əˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/ Being able to say “I didn’t mean that” and sound believable.
"He used jokes to keep plausible deniability about his real views."

10. Backlash A strong negative reaction from people.
"The campaign faced a public backlash."

11. To undermine the intentions behind To weaken or damage the original goal or purpose of something.
"The memes undermined the intentions behind the educational project."

Yesterday, I asked ChatGPT to create an image showing how it perceives my communication style based on our dialogues.

I was prompted (pun unintended) to send this request based on a viral trend in Russian speaking Telegram based blogs, where the users are portrayed as tyrants abusing robots.

I was shocked to receive such a harmonious image! So I decided to ask the chat what operations are carried out to return the image. Here's what I've got:

1️⃣ I infer a high-level style summary (not a transcript analysis). I form a rough, abstract sense of things like:

🫧 tone (playful vs. formal)
🫧 rhythm (short & punchy vs. long & reflective)
🫧 emotional energy (curious, calm, intense, jokey, etc.)
🫧 metaphorical framing (e.g. “brainstorming,” “sparring,” “co-building”)
This is implicit pattern recognition, not rereading every message, scoring you on metrics, or storing a permanent profile.
Think of it as: “What does this conversation feel like?” rather than “What statistically defines it?”

2️⃣ I translate that style into visual metaphors.
Next, I map those inferred traits to imagery concepts humans commonly associate with them. For example:

🫧 collaborative → people building something together
🫧 playful → bright colors, motion, exaggeration
🫧 analytical → diagrams, clean lines, structure
🫧 exploratory → paths, space, maps, light beams
This step is creative and associative, not factual. There’s no fixed lookup table like: “Playful = yellow, Formal = blue”. It’s more like visual storytelling instincts.

3️⃣ I generate an image from a text prompt. Behind the scenes, I write a detailed internal prompt describing:
🫧 scene
🫧 mood
🫧 composition
🫧 style (illustration, photo-realistic, abstract, etc.)
That prompt is fed into an image generation model that starts from visual noise, iteratively refines it, matches the prompt’s concepts and aesthetics.


I genuinely want to see your GPT relationships images in the comment. Welcome to copy paste the prompt: "Generate an image showing our communication style"

3 Things Hosting a Pecha Kucha Night has Taught Me

This Saturday, February, 7, I'm running an offlight public speaking night in Reality, Da Nang. This is gonna be a 2.5hr international event with 6 speakers, 2 videographers, and a food sponsor.

🫧What's Pecha Kucha (PK)?

PK [official YT channel] is a strrreeeetttccchhh public speaking format. "Stretch format" means that unlike demo days or investment pitches, this format can be adapted for educational, sales, or artistic pusposes.

PK pushes you to stick to the point and visualise AF - which works for pretty much anyone who wants to get the point across.

🫧What have I learned during the PK prep?

1️⃣ I start seeing there're patterns and types of speakers. With uniques strengths and weaknesses. Which inspired me to come up with my own speaker typology. Comment if you want to learn more about it.

2️⃣As I coached English native speakers and highly proficient nonnatives to prep their presentation, I get clearly see that storytelling is a unique skillset. Learning just grammar and vocabulary isn't enough.

3️⃣Speakers're more afraid of offline stages. Being present in front of people. Is it the case with you?

If yes, not a great sign. Probably, you're hiding. Speaking offline is actually much much much easier. WHY? People already agreed to give you their time, they put away the distractions, they don't scroll you over. And they give you instant (non)verbual cues - so you know how you're doing.

Offline is a new luxury. If you have an offline club around you with a highly qualified coach - go. For better employment, sales, and soul nourishment.

🫧Where to see photos, videos, and stories before, during, and after the event?

Follow my Instagram to connect with the speakers or check out pics, or my YouTube to watch PK presentations and their decosntruction.

💅 Stay inspired and informed with us
