Notes from building MoVox: a multi-agent studio turning Chinese classics into film.https://movox.ink/https://movox.ink/blog/i-went-quiet-to-make-a-demo/https://movox.ink/blog/i-went-quiet-to-make-a-demo/I vanished for two months because I wanted a clip I could post. The pipeline can draw now, and chapter one plays end to end. The pictures still don't pass my review, and that's the honest status of the demo.Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://movox.ink/blog/six-minutes-is-not-a-voice/https://movox.ink/blog/six-minutes-is-not-a-voice/I wanted the narrator to be me. A real reference clip already sounds like me. Fine-tuning on six minutes of isolated sentences taught the model my timbre and then made me shout. I stopped tuning.Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://movox.ink/blog/sixteen-thousand-characters/https://movox.ink/blog/sixteen-thousand-characters/In June an audit found 15,753 characters missing from the book. I fixed it, got to 99.96%, and told you in July that the Reader works. This summer I found out 99.96% is not the book. A contract the model won't keep has to be enforced in code.Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://movox.ink/blog/two-computers-now/https://movox.ink/blog/two-computers-now/In July I said MoVox ran on one machine on my desk. Now it runs on two. The second one is a 32-gigabyte MacBook, and it didn't buy me better pictures. It bought me a second card, which is a different thing.Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://movox.ink/blog/a-text-file-goes-in/https://movox.ink/blog/a-text-file-goes-in/What MoVox actually is, end to end. Five AI agents, one human signing off at every checkpoint, all of it running on one machine on my desk — plus an honest account of which parts work today and which parts are still a gray rectangle.Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://movox.ink/blog/the-book-was-too-heavy/https://movox.ink/blog/the-book-was-too-heavy/How my love of the Chinese classics began — a Journey to the West too heavy for a second-grader — and why, decades later, I'm teaching a computer to read those stories to my kids in my own voice.Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://movox.ink/blog/ai-is-just-the-next-tool/https://movox.ink/blog/ai-is-just-the-next-tool/Two halves of one stance: AI isn't coming for your job, and what it makes isn't slop. An engineer on why the next tool is just that — a tool — and how craft survives, drawn from building MoVox.Thu, 23 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT
