Hollywood isn't dead. It's evolving. And we're leading that evolution.
We just shipped Koyal v2.5: The best Agentic AI filmmaking platform. It goes from your script or music to full video with consistent characters, settings & storylines.
Large Production houses, music labels & ad agencies use @KoyalAI for storyboarding & pre-viz.
Smaller studios use it for making content they never had the time, budget or resources to create.
Write a scene. Direct the camera. Build a world. @KoyalAI brings it to life.
Here's what's new:
- Go from script to video:
Write a scene with dialogue, pacing, emotion. Koyal fully realizes it. Using the best voice models on the planet.
- Direct the camera:
Push in. Pull back. Drift through a scene. Real 3D camera blocking. Shape the shot the way you see it in your head.
- Build a world that stays:Lock in a location and return to it. Your scenes stay consistent from the first frame to the last.
Plus: dialogue, SFX, annotations for editing, and more control over every shot.
Under the hood, we benchmark 40+ models weekly with real humans so Koyal always uses the best available (more on that next week!)
Our agents pick the best models for each scene in run-time so you focus on the story, we handle the complexity.
You don't need to prompt a film, you can direct it.
With Koyal, we're looking to replace the camera, not the filmmaker behind it.
Try it now at beta [dot] koyal [dot] ai
DM me for credits!
Can tech help us fight back against the attention economy?
At MIT’s HARD MODE Hackathon we built Feral Focus — an ambient AI attention companion that lives on your desk.
🏆 Won the Reflect track.
Built with @MateoFerfer007 @safiware @realxdd44
Big thanks to @cyrusclarke for organizing such a hardcore event 🔥⚙️

Yes, Grok’s performance is lagging other frontier LLM’s, but it could be well positioned as a profitable consumer LLM (and maybe help us better understand our universe)
- Grok is likely trained on X’s own platform data (hedge against legal fallout from data scraping)
- Grok has access to a larger stream of information than broadcast news (other LLM / MoE will be restricted to non-X search results)
- X is openly pursuing a payment platform and micro payments can enable pay-per use AI APIs (Subscription models don’t seem to scale here as user activity increases - see Microsoft’s Co-Pilot)

“We ask for regulation to prevent this catastrophe”
This catastrophe happened because of state intervention in markets. Can we please stop begging for more of it?
Open, immutable, objective, decentralized finance would be an actual alternative to doubling down on status quo.

Thousands of startups and small businesses are at risk due to the SVB failure. We ask for depositors to be made whole, and for regulation to prevent this catastrophe.
650 founders who employ more than 22,000 people, have already signed.
Please spread the word.

2023: $30,000 to get a simple iPhone app created, $300 for a plumbing job.
i wonder what those relative prices will look like in 2028!
the likely coming divergence between changes to cognitive work and changes to physical work could be quite dramatic.
First prompt I tried after purchasing a #ChatGPTPlus subscription... what did I just pay for?😂 @sama

"Voyage through Time"
is my first artpiece using #stablediffusion and I am blown away with the possibilities...
We're crossing a threshold where generative AI is no longer just about novel aesthetics, but evolving into an amazing tool to build powerful, human-centered narratives

The New York Times is covering up Sam Bankman-Fried's crimes.
Nothing SBF says can be trusted.
Nothing NYT says can be trusted either.
But dunking does nothing.
Lies make their traffic rise.
You do have one option, though.
Mass block them all in one go.

1/ Wealth is a claim on other people's time
There are a lot of theories on what money is, on what wealth is.
Economists have written very long books on this. It is debt, it is the evolution of barter, it is an information system, etc, etc.
All of these are true in their way

[NEW POST] The Market Manipulators Are Laughing As They Ruin The World
We are watching central banks destroy the wealth of billions of people, while they continue to enrich the world's wealthiest.
The only way to stop the madness is to opt out.
