Worlds I dreamed about as a kid are knocking. I built a playable prototype in 1 day with Astra. Procedural terrain, curved horizons, pixel-rendering with @babylonjs , atmospheric shaders, and landmarks that grow as you approach. Ty @Stefan_3D_AI for the inspo!

Did @bot get unplugged? Nothing but failed chats for the past hour. Never had with this with GPT or Claude before. @Grok bot has been super useful past few days, but now it's becoming a liability. 🫤

Love this 😂

grok @bot + cozy clay studio (cozyclay.org/) might replace my opus 5.5 + blender workflow for seedance2.5 gens. Thanks @TheoMediaAI for mentioning this open-source project!

Shigeru Miyamoto, the man behind Mario and Zelda, just said everyone can make games now. And he's happy about it. 😎 Asked about generative AI, he didn't call it a threat. He called it "a very good era," the world he'd always hoped for, where the line between game designers and everyone else disappears. His reasoning echoes what those of us in genAI filmmaking have been saying for a while: when tools get easier, skill doesn't vanish. It moves. His example: designers used to be judged on hand lettering. Then computers did the lettering, and what finally showed was taste. Layout. Judgment. The eye. AI doesn't kill talent. It takes away the excuses.

Today, GPT Codex asked my permission to add a rule on a project. The rule: stop asking my permission... 🤦‍♂️ I’ve run Codex and Claude Code side by side for weeks, on two real projects. Here’s one day this week. Claude Code shipped 9 times. Codex stopped 3 times, and got about 18 minutes of actual building done in between. If you’re about to hand real work to AI, this is the difference that matters. It isn’t which one is smarter. 1. Codex’s day (Astra) I gave it a one-page rule sheet. It spun up 9 helpers and told 8 to wait. The 9th didn’t start either: a rule Codex had written for itself said it wasn’t allowed to. Its plan was to “sort out the rules.” Not delete them. Not build. I asked if it was leaving work unfinished. It said yes, explained exactly why, promised to do better next time, and stopped. I had to send a second message: “then fix it.” Then came the request at the top. The rules it wanted to remove were rules it wrote. It wanted my sign-off to stop asking for my sign-off. 2. Claude Code’s day (Opus 5.5) Last night, I went to bed with two crews running in Claude Code. I woke up to 3 new things I could open and use. I hated one. This morning, it was rebuilt from my notes in under 2 hours. A slowdown I felt was tracked down and fixed by lunch. 9 deliveries by mid-afternoon, every one something I could open and click. 3. The part nobody tells you Both models drown in paperwork. Status updates, self-reviews, rules on top of rules. Claude does it too, and over a few days it slows down. Two things decided it. Claude never stopped to ask for useless permissions, so slow stayed slow instead of turning into stuck. And the paperwork has a price. Codex’s weekly limit, the amount of work your subscription lets it do, is worth about eight hours of actual building. The paperwork eats most of it. My Claude plan could absorb the waste. 4. How to run any AI agent so it actually ships 1/ Done means you can see it working. “It works” in a report is not done. 2/ You write the rules. One page. Dated. 3/If it invents a rule, it deletes the rule. It never asks you for an exception. 4/ Explaining a problem is not fixing it. It fixes it right then. 5./ One round of changes, then you look. It does not grade its own work five times in a row. 6/ Ten-line reports. Not novels. 7/ It never waits on you overnight. It never makes the final call for you either. 8/ Slow and building feels like a crew. Stuck and asking feels like a hostage. 9/ The AI matters less than the rules you run it with. Fix those before you switch tools. Bookmark this for your next build. 🔖 @Grok @bot did the animation for this. I'm impressed!

Everyone's giving AI agents the keys to everything. I went the other way. I'm building a city where agents work across my business and personal life, but data stays local and I set what agents can access. Early days, but it's the first time my whole life fit on one screen.

Time to start a new project on Codex for my SONY television... I figured devices were always spying, but its far worse than I imagined. The fact it makes the TV 3x slower is the real cherry on top.

24 tasks done on day one with my Grok @bot. I built Grok Board to run it: mail, calendar, tasks, Pages, and a context meter. Green to 50%, yellow to 65%, red past that. Easy win: tell your bot to make a card every time a job starts.

Creating video game shaders and systems occurs at least 50x the speed with AI. Building on @babylonjs.

Joined @NEWSMAX's Wake Up America Weekend yesterday to discuss AI filmmaking and @Gossip_Goblin's upcoming feature. People outside our AI circles are starting to pay attention and when the film drops Pandora’s box opens. piped.video/watch?v=0Dgln3l2…

People don't realize how ground breaking this is for filmmakers. In a matter of seconds, I had 3 new camera angles (hand placed), using only a single starting image. @theworldlabs cooked with Atlas. 🔥

Great short film by @theGioM! Some wonderful acting moments, worth the 4 minutes to watch.

What a lovely song. Wonder what it could be for... 👀

Oh snap! 🔥Finally, some good news from MJ. Time to *roll up sleeves* and give it a test. With my personalized style refs, I find MJ is still the most creative image model. With editing built-in, should save me a ton of time, and skip the NBP/GPTImage step for adjustments.

Preview mode is here on Dreamina! 🥳 This is a big win for AI filmmakers, since the cost to explore and tinker was rather expensive with SD2.5.

dunno if I'm gunna make it to reset...😂 @OpenAI's Astra has been a huge unlock. gunna need a bigger compute budget apparently... *cancels $200 anthropic sub* 🤫

epic film. take some time to watch Sam's 10 min masterpiece. 🔥
