Don't Go to Wolf 1069 | A Scifi Short Made with Seedance for the Higgsfield Global Film Contest. I didn't win anything but at least it was enough motivation for me to actually finish something. It also got me monetized on Youtube. It's the small wins.

It's coming
We placed the fruit fly brain inside Odyssey-3, a frontier world model. The lil’ guy is now flying around totally imagined, simulated worlds all by itself 🫶

The implications of this technology are vast. Interviews Scamming Coaching Therapy Medical Help Friendship and Dating Remember, this will eventually be used in robotics. It will be wonky at first, like some of this is, but overtime it will become perfected.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard. cellcog.ai/blog/tavus-gri… research.nvidia.com/labs/amri/proj… tech-ish.com/2026/10/02/tav…

I accidentally entered an empty prompt in Seedance 2.5 and it gave me this. Kind of makes you wonder.

We got chainsaw wielding robot centaurs before GTA 6.
U.S. company Satyress is developing threehalves, a centaur-style robot designed for dangerous environments such as wildfires, rubble searches, toxic areas and confined spaces. The system combines a humanoid upper body with a quadruped mobility platform. #USA #Robotics #UGV #AI

I wish the algorithms rewarded people who were multi-passionate. I want to talk about everything.

I’d rather hang out with real people making fake art than fake people making real art.

We have nostalgia of our childhood because we remember what it was like to feel that the whole world was ahead of us and anything is possible. Right now anything IS possible. Why do so many of us feel like there is a cloud looming over the horizon?

Beware the trap of being really smart yet spending most of that bandwidth on things you have little control over. High intelligence with little agency is the pipeline to unexplainable anxiety

I use AI for a lot of things but not to write. It's crazy that video has passed the uncanny valley but writing is a dead givaway usually.

This is a great image of society right now, but imagine in 10 years when this is all normalized. The world will just assume everything they watch is AI, just like this, but nothing will surprise them anymore. People talk about Post-Economic society, Post-Meaning, Post-Work, but what about Post-Novelty? What will happen when novelty ceases to suprise or inspire? When dopamine has become so easy to get that we are numb? Will we return to nature, and simpler lives to seek meaning and community? Will we merge with machine and create our own worlds filled with AI inhabitants? Will we explore the stars? Or will society continue to get weirder and weirder trying to seek novelty, to be seen, to be unique, to be special, and to feel?
So well done. "That's AI" a short film by Sebastian Lopez.

This is simultaneously awesome and also a reminder of what is to come. The models will carry more and more weight until you basically just write the script, or have AI write it, and upload it, pay $100 and it generates a film. It's coming. On one hand it makes me excited to make my work go faster and look better, which is what we are all excited about, on another hand, it's closing in on ai films becoming a commodity. We might have to come to accept that we can finally tell the stories we have always wanted but the fame and money might not come with it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this starts a whole new economy. Instead of UGC, we have UGC stories with sponsorships and product placement, etc.
Kling 3.0 has arrived! Up to 15 second videos. Multi-shots! Its a great model! I made this below with in a few minutes with just 1 ref image. Great work @Kling_ai

Clawdbot is huge and is going to change so much. It's just the beginning of functional agents. I think with Clawdbot and everything else coming with AI my goal isn't to try and build something that will be saturated in 3 months. Build something that only you can build, that's uniquely you and human. Then use AI to scale it. Not the other way around. If you don't want to keep chasing the curve on make money schemes, think long term. Same goes with AI filmmaking or pretty much anything now. In 2 years will your idea be a thing, or are you set to drown in the Slopocolypse? We are already amidst the Great Content Flood of the 2020's. Hell, I'm not even sure about anything anymore. We have no idea what to expect.

It's wild how all of the conspiracy theories I used to get made of for are now nightly news.
