One of the coolest things about hybrid filmmaking is being able to preserve a real actor's performance while changing everything around them.
Here's a test where we turned simple greybox footage shot @promise_ai into a cinematic cliffside scene using AI.
Check out the 🧵 below for the exact steps and prompts we used in this workflow.

I wrote about the exponential curve of the last 30 months of AI development: oneusefulthing.org/p/30-mont…
And I asked Opus 5.5 to create the ultimate response to the test I use for all AI image generation models (make a picture of "an otter on a plane using wifi"), it made this video

Opus 5.5. Single image reference, 3-7 iterations with Astra/Fable as critics. Not perfect, but also wildly better than I could ever do myself.

Meet Nigel. He’s not enjoying our cause-and-effect demo.
So I let him sit in the DeLorean. Still not happy.
I didn’t write his lines. What he says is generated from his personality and the context of the shot.
It’s an entirely new way to create: place imaginary characters in your world, record your performance, and let Simulon generate their reactions and realistically integrate them into your footage.
Reality-Aware Rendering is coming to @Simulon this week.

Ever seen a many-plumed moth?
Alucitidae are recognised by their modified wings consisting of 6 rigid spines on each forewing and hindwing. Each spine is lined with flexible bristles, creating a structure similar to that of a bird's feather.
Look closer!

1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.

A historic video – November 22, 1994:
The U.S. President thanks Ukraine for giving up its nuclear weapons. In return, the U.S. promises to stand by Ukraine’s side to safeguard its independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity well into the future.
That future has arrived—yet today, Trump and his circle act as if none of this ever happened.

Watching journalists cover a BS flying Tesla car instead of the deaths of women and children in Ukraine because Starlink was slowed down is disgusting.
It's absolutely disgusting.

BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just met with all of Europe's leaders. Look at the reception he receives. Donald Trump would never.

At @IsomorphicLabs, researchers are using Gemini 4 Argon as a partner to accelerate drug discovery and design research 🧬
Argon quickly synthesizes complex PDFs and patents to extract pertinent information, reducing a process that typically takes weeks into just hours.

This is a hilarious and creative percussion performance by The Bands of HM Royal Marines, recorded at the 2019 Mountbatten Festival of Music at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The two percussionists combine exceptional musical skill with a distinctly British sense of humor. Alongside their regular percussion instruments, they use unexpected objects, such as pipes, to produce unique sounds. The result is a performance that showcases impressive musicianship while delivering plenty of clever and entertaining moments.

Leslie Mezei in 1968: "The computer will not usurp the creativity or originality of the artist, but give him another tool to work with — one with more power, versatility and challenge than the brush."
From 'It's Computer Art.' The Minneapolis Tribune, 26 May 1968.
