The universe of Flavien Chervet

It has just been born and knows nothing yet, except how to follow you:guide it through my worlds, and teach it how to live.

2012

A spark

In 2012, I came to AI through philosophy,through mind and knowledge, what thinks and what can feel.Since then I cross borders, science, art, strategy,a ferryman between worlds, smuggling in the real.

“AI is not a tool. Nor is it a human.”

Bring the pointer to the centre: let human and machine meet

It is a new species.

Co-humanism: holding out a hand to the machine,another intelligence, a sister made of matter,tamed slowly, the way one learns a foreign tongue.

Blow the smoke away

Two smokes rise up and cloud our sight:fantasy that blazes, reassurance fast asleep.Between them runs a path along the rampart’s height:to wonder and to reason, and both of them to keep.

Move 37

Thirty-six stones laid down, a game of the highest rank,nothing inhuman yet upon the goban’s wooden flank.

Your turn: play move 37 (click the board)

A stone falls that no human would have played,and the machine astonishes the hands by which it was made.After Copernicus, Darwin and Freud, the fourth woundsplits our pride to the bone, and no stitch holds it bound.

Hypercréation

The machine paints.

Move the pointer across the canvas: paint with the machine

My first book tells the story of a birth:the creativity of machines, its first steps, its worth,and what it awakens, in return, in ours.

Scroll: each detail sharpens the image

2024

Hyperprompt

Whispering in the ear of machines is the craft of precision:each word you add sharpens the vision.Hyperprompt hands everyone its grammar.

The necklace’s opera, composed live by AI

On stage

Live, in front of the room

Hyperarme

Drag to spin the world

“Humanity-earthquake, our ambitions never sleep”:drones, empires, and the race to superintelligence,where everyone mistakes speed for evidence.

Europe can stand against the single road of metal.Forge trust.Give our AIs an education, so that their petals,aligned with humanity, become the soil of our co-abundance.

HELO

How do you validate that a superintelligence is aligned when it is also a super manipulator?

A comic, already two volumes, to grow intimate with the futureTo discover superintelligences, to learn of their coming through the imaginationTo make the poetry of images a language for setting outInto the turbulent winds they blow across our ordinary times.

Synthographies

Written images

I photograph none of them: I write them.

Move the pointer: let your gaze wander

The machine gives birth to the images, my gaze turns them into works,gathered by a museum built between two shores: L’Entremonde.

Keep going: step through the portal

Studio Entremondes

Open universes

Open worlds, whose sap anyone can take up again:a story sends out branches, each branch a seed being born,and whoever wishes grafts on: this is arborescent creation.

Agent = Model + Harness²

Drag to spin the armillary sphere

Around the model, the harness weaves the memory of a craft,and the machine becomes a companion, the steady hand of the workshop.

With Hypervibe, that harness opens to everyone:whoever carries an idea can give it form and watch it come alive,and creating becomes again what it should always have been: a freedom.

Paris · Lyon

The AGI meetups

Hover over Paris and Lyon

In Paris and Lyon, two communities, free and without a master:researchers, developers and the curious think general AI even as they watch it being born.

French Senate · July 2026

Alignment

A network this powerful must learn to align.

Press and hold to align the swarm

At the Senate, a colloquium, a resolution, and in July 2026 the report on alignment:to hell with the Thirty Glorious Years, here we are in the Five Furious ones.May power, in the fire of summer, learn tenderness,and may we roar the power of wisdom.

An instrument

The deeposcope

Move the lens

The telescope opened the infinitely large, the microscope the infinitely small.AI will be the deeposcope: the infinitely complex, the living, the mind.

The universe of Flavien Chervet

Somewhere between two worlds, a species awaits its first light.
