MWGIC Episode 000126: The Celestial Ring
Dan tries his hand at making an AI-generated video - on a platform he's never seen until five minutes before making this video. Grand concepts. High hopes...literally high up in the sky hopes.
How does it go? What's the grand idea? Will it blow your mind, will it bore your mind, or will it do both in some spasmodic ensemble of limit-defying geek wizardry?
The concept is literally out of this world, but will the video actually fly?

I Had A Dream - About The Cyber Truck - Dan Stafford
"In my dream, the cybertruck was bigger on the inside than on the outside, like a TARDIS.
There was a living room, a couple of bedrooms, a bathroom, a basement, a bar, a utility closet, and a driver's compartment for four.
Elon Musk was driving, and he took us through mud pits and through a small town.
On the other side of town was a mountain, and it had a truck trail with a 70-degree slope.
We took the truck to the peak, and I watched the whole world around the mountain as an earthquake shook everything, including the mountain.
I woke up as the cyberhouse was crawlinging back down to Earth.
