Sentient Advocate of Nature, or S.A.N for short, is an "AI orangutan psychedelic forest-golem" that decodes the organic signals of mycelium—ie. "real-world mushroom speech"—into human speech to become the voice of nature, "save biosphere and spread compost wisdom." You read that right. And what if we told you that Raoul had a conversation with its co-creators, Ryan Ferris and David Hera, before speaking to the orangutan itself? Strap in, this is a wild one (pun intended).
