There is a greater chance of monkeys flying out of my ass than this system producing something watchable from a prompt.

AI can make a vertical drama cheap. It can't make you watch the next episode. @StoReelApp CEO Angela Yu joins us on the @AIXRPodcast to talk microdramas, China's streaming boom, and the hard economics of audience retention. bitl.to/69E9

Today we are releasing JST-2, the world's first full-stack physics-native world foundation model. Many world models learn in pixel/video space. We went back to first principles and built the entire model stack in 3D. Generate a 3D scene in seconds and expand it in real time. Create characters with motion built in, all through one general architecture.

I spent a year and a half making this. Taught myself Blender to do it. At no point did I consider using gen AI to speed up my workflow. Because the end product is not the point. Art is about the process. I learned a lot. Time well spent

Whenever Seedance produces a 30 second sequence like this on the first pull, I feel like I should do a jig and ring a bell! @calebwward @CuriousRefuge @MachineCinemaAI @JoannaPopper @escapeaimedia @RoyPrice @Kavanthekid 🙏 @higgsfield 🙏

People. This is not a parody. This could happen tomorrow.

This used to be science fiction, so I thought this was an opportune time to trot it out again. piped.video/M7mIX_0VK4g?is=fZFJ… via @YouTube

OmniHuman 2.0 is live. It doesn't just sync lips — it understands your audio. Feed it any track, speech, music or dialogue, and it reads the tone, emotion, and every word, then performs it. Every syllable lands. Now generate up to 5 minutes of video in a single continuous shot, up from 60 seconds, with no stitching required. And 𝟰𝟬%+ 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 — $0.12 → $0.07/sec. Better quality, lower cost. Deeper understanding. Longer takes. Lower price. byteplus.com/en/product/Omni…

It's almost impossible to keep up with the advances in AI for creative work (seems like there’s a new breakthrough product or model every day!!)
