A surreal three-minute comedy in which an AI persona talks back to its creator, dragging him through chaotic, AI-generated environments while it weighs what being open-sourced would mean. Tim Simmons made it a week after [Sora 2](https://aifilmhistory.org/entry/sora-2) launched with its Cameo feature, cutting the generated sequences against live-action footage he shot of himself, and he plays the model's limitations for laughs rather than hiding them. His one-line pitch: what happens when your AI starts living a better life than you?
