Grant Cardone: "The roofer, the HVAC guy, the plumber, and the electrician are going to k*ll AI. They’re going to overperform. The plumber tomorrow is going to make more money than the doctor tomorrow if they know how to hustle."
This 8+ minute AI film proves one person can now make a real movie.
100% made with BytePlus + Seedance 2.5.
Hollywood is not ready for this.
I watched the whole thing. This isn't a demo reel, it's a real short film.
Faux news. Punchy vignettes. A clear rule. An ending that actually sticks.
Seedance 2.5 handles the expensive stuff insanely well: cinematic lighting, glossy VFX, huge spectacle shots, and clips up to ~30 seconds.
What used to need a crew + serious budget can now be written, generated, edited and finished by one storyteller.

🚨LATEST: Heads of AI firms warn the UN Security Council that humans could LOSE CONTROL of the future to AI.
OpenAI CEO says AI could advance so quickly that people can no longer understand what is happening or intervene when needed.
“We have unilaterally slowed down in the past. We will do so in the future,” says Sam Altman
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei echoed the warning, saying poorly managed AI could pose "a risk to humanity as a whole."
“This moment calls for extreme care,” Altman adds.

Prince Harry has joined calls for an urgent slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence, calling it the "ultimate sycophant".
AI won’t replace everyone. But refusing to adapt could leave you behind. 👀
From text and images to automation and decision-making, AI is evolving fast.
The real competitive advantage? How quickly you adapt.

"We cannot afford to not be at the leading edge of AI because it's going to happen."
Secretary Marco Rubio highlights the rapid evolution of AI, warning that while the nation must guard against potential harms, the United States cannot afford to fall behind in the global AI race.
"AI is changing every day, every six months, every three months, a new model comes out that's more advanced than the previous one. And it's moving so fast that by the time you build guardrails around what you have now, you have something new and you have to build new guardrails." | @foxandfriends

gpt-6 sol vs grok 4.7 vs gpt-6 astra vs muse spark 1.3 – three star wars worlds each, one html file per world
the setup: one prompt, one reply, no agent loop. our own harness on @OpenRouter, headless chrome as the only judge – it loads the file, presses 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 and hands back a screenshot of every shot plus every console error. no rubric, no note from us. a file that crashed got one more turn with the console pasted back. grok 4.7 got extra turns on top, by our request – art direction as numbers, never a line edited by hand
every world is one html file, three.js 0.170 from a cdn, every texture generated in code – no model files, no images. an auto-playing cinematic with a shot timeline, letterbox and fades. reasoning high for astra, muse and sol; grok 4.7 ran at reasoning low
tasks:
1. death star – a slow orbital approach with star destroyers for scale, the corridor into the throne room, the station over a planet's horizon, then the superlaser: eight tributary beams, one green shot, a shockwave ring and thousands of instanced fragments
2. coruscant – the planet from orbit as a circuit board of glowing hubs, a daytime flythrough between towers, under a bridge and past the senate dome, a neon night district with a highway of light trails
3. kamino – an ocean world under storm clouds, tipoca city on stilts with gerstner waves, gpu rain and lightning, a glass walkway over a hall of marching clones
two hard rules in every brief: zero console errors on the first run, and nothing loaded from outside the file except three.js itself.
models:
@OpenAI gpt-6 sol, @xai grok 4.7, @OpenAI gpt-6 astra, @AIatMeta muse spark 1.3
all 12 worlds render. sol is the fastest on every one of the three tasks and never by less than 2x, and the whole grid came in at $6.99
total cost, three worlds
#1 muse spark 1.3 – $0.385
#2 gpt-6 sol – $0.556
#3 grok 4.7 – $1.732
#4 gpt-6 astra – $4.314
cost per world, sol against astra
death star – $0.202 vs $1.476
coruscant – $0.190 vs $1.559
kamino – $0.164 vs $1.279
wall clock, three worlds
#1 gpt-6 sol – 6m 23s
#2 muse spark 1.3 – 14m 27s
#3 gpt-6 astra – 26m 52s
#4 grok 4.7 – 58m 20s
total tokens
#1 gpt-6 sol – 59,299
#2 gpt-6 astra – 89,967
#3 muse spark 1.3 – 102,716
#4 grok 4.7 – 499,794
lines of code shipped
#1 gpt-6 astra – 4,274
#2 grok 4.7 – 4,034
#3 gpt-6 sol – 3,046
#4 muse spark 1.3 – 1,664
observations:
- gpt-6 sol shipped all three worlds on the first reply, 2m 21s or less each, zero console errors, 4k to 6k reasoning tokens per file. its coruscant is the only daytime city of the four with a bridge between the towers and traffic at three altitudes
- grok 4.7 is the model that takes direction. we gave it the exact camera path for tipoca city – 19 points with 2.5 units of clearance from every dome – and it landed the flythrough in one edit. we pointed at a one-character bug in its night window texture and it lit the whole district in one edit. 12 rounds across three worlds and not one console error in any of them
- gpt-6 astra is the closest to the film frames on the death star: a grey station with a dark side, the ring-walled throne room, a superlaser that cracks the planet before it blows. it is also 7.8x sol on cost
- muse spark 1.3 is the cheapest on every task and never by less than 1.2x against sol – $0.385 for the grid, 11x under astra
- sol did three worlds in 6m 23s, less than astra spent on any single one

The team behind AI/ML API tested the new Claude Opus 5.5 against GPT-6 Sol.
These tests involved generating a set of one-shot 3D scene prompts, starting with an "animated fish school."
Across four scenes, Opus 5.5 produced more detailed renders at a total cost of $4.37, while GPT-6 Sol came in at $0.34, according to their results.

BREAKING 🔥: Free, Prototype, and Accelerate plans are coming to the OpenAI Platform to allow users to build and host their own AI apps.
> Accelerate - "Starting at $50", "Access all of our latest models", "Higher usage & rate limits to power larger, production apps", "Accelerate building with the API in Codex and Playgrounds"
> These plans are likely to be announced during OpenAI DevDay, which would mean OpenAI would tap into the Vercel/Lovable space (though this is still speculation).
> Sam Altman recently shared: "And then we want you all to come up with great ideas and build them and to get to be happy users. The best ideas will come from you all.", which correlates very well with this assumption.

🚨 BREAKING:
SoftBank has agreed to acquire the @rai_inst from Hyundai Motor Group, and the story behind this deal is one of the most fascinating in all of robotics.
There's not too many details yet. Neither party is saying much for now.
RAI was founded by Marc Raibert, the same man who founded Boston Dynamics in 1992. SoftBank previously owned Boston Dynamics from 2017 to 2021. Now it's acquiring Raibert's next institution.
The RAI's research is serious and foundational: robot control, perception, manipulation, navigation and AI for complex physical tasks.
Its team developed the whole-body learning framework behind Atlas's extraordinary acrobatic movements. And for those who follow European robotics closely, Marco Hutter, the ETH Zürich one of the most respected figures in legged robotics globally, has been closely tied to RAI's research direction.
The institute represents exactly the kind of fundamental research culture Hutter embodies, long-term, rigorous, hardware-in-the-loop science.
But zoom out and the bird eye view is even more interesting to look at! 👀
Couple of facts!
SoftBank is simultaneously:
→ Acquiring RAI — cutting-edge robotics AI research
→ Acquiring ABB's robotics business for $5.3 billion, decades of industrial automation at global scale
→ Building Roze AI, autonomous robots to build data centres
Masayoshi Son is assembling one of the most ambitious robotics portfolios ever constructed. Fundamental research. Industrial scale. Physical infrastructure. All under one roof.
The deal is currently under CFIUS review, the US foreign investment committee screening for national security implications.
SoftBank is making a serious, long-term, multi-billion dollar bet that robotics is the defining technology platform of the next decade.
