Project SHAME — Sustainable Human Accountability Metrics Engine is a wider project I will introduce here gradually.
This first post is about one part of it: 1001 Stories for Children Growing Up with AI, a bilingual family learning project I have been building with my children over the past few months.
We are creating one bilingual English–Chinese moral story each day using local AI, OpenAI image generation, Qwen3-TTS, forced alignment, PHP, Three.js, FFmpeg, and my main project, SPARK — Simple Personal AI Reasoning Kernel.
It is the first visible part of a much larger project, built from several of the systems and ideas I have already posted on the forum.
The playlist is here:
The project is still evolving story by story, but it is now running and publishing every day.
Project ACRONYM — Agentic Creative Reasoning for Original Names, Yielding Meaning — is a new AI-assisted naming project I have been developing.
ACRONYM uses GPT-based transformer language models, agentic reasoning techniques, semantic analysis, iterative candidate generation, scoring, and refinement to produce acronym expansions that are memorable, relevant, and natural rather than simply forcing unrelated words into the required letters.
The project began with a simple demonstration of the technology: creating a suitable meaning for A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. itself. The result became both the product name and a working example of what the system is designed to do for you, quickly and automated.
Nice to see you again, @_j , I’ve had a long and painfully lonely break…
SHAME works almost in the opposite direction. I started with the existing meaning of “shame” as something systems can impose on people, then flipped it into Sustainable Human Accountability Metrics Engine: an attempt to make scaling systems accountable to humanity instead.
I have to credit my son for the videos themselves; he has done the production work, including using my cloned voice for the narration My Chinese is nowhere near as fluent.
Sounds like you have been working on some sweet tech while I have been gone.
Hi. What I “worked on” in this reply was defining the input parameters of a target backronym, a domain and scope, and technology definitions from which language can be pulled from for developing an AI output, then shaping that into a message for AI. Then also creating the language that could follow an existing template in announcing a project.
That, then, ChatGPT could deliver the results and I could get them posted 8 minutes after your topic hit the forum speaks that there is no moat for a developer of such an AI-powered idea: anybody can ask ChatGPT.
I certainly have some forum topics here with more interesting stuff. Good to see you’re still AI Powered!
My Chinese is nowhere near as fluent.
