EVERYONE SAYS AI CANNOT INVENT A VISUAL METAPHOR i... asked Seedance 2.5 for "a person in a desert catches a small cloud in a plastic bag." one sentence. one generate. went to refill my water. 00:00 – a desert. flat sand. tire tracks. a small white cloud hovers a few feet above the ground. a pair of hands holds an open plastic bag beneath it. 00:04 – the cloud drifts down. it touches the bag opening. moisture beads on the inside of the plastic. 00:07 – the hands close the bag. the cloud sits inside it. it's the size of a grapefruit. condensation drips down the sides. the bag sags with the weight of water vapor. 00:10 – the hands lift the bag. the cloud shifts inside. light refracts through the wet plastic differently on the side facing the sun. i paused on that last frame. the refraction is correct. the side of the bag facing the light is brighter. the condensation acts as a lens. the cloud's shadow sits on the sand below at the correct angle. nobody prompted "condensation as lens." nobody prompted "cloud weight sags the bag." the model understood that if you put water vapor in plastic, the plastic gets wet, and wet plastic bends light. The stack: -> Claude Fable 5.1 for writing the cloud capture choreography, hand positioning, and material interaction logic -> Veo 3.1 for rendering the desert environment with photorealistic sand grain texture and atmospheric haze -> Seedance 2.5 for animating the cloud descent, plastic bag deformation under vapor weight, and condensation propagation -> Kling 3.0 Omni for generating the light refraction through wet PVC and the shadow projection on sand in 4K -> ElevenLabs Spatial for desert wind, plastic crinkle, and a faint moisture hiss as the cloud contacts the bag the clip is 11 seconds long. it contains more correct physics than most VFX shots in a $150M movie. the model didn't just render a visual. it rendered what happens when you trap weather.show more

Making smart glasses frames was way harder than I... thought. Here's what I learned: Materials matter. You can't use normal plastic, because it has to be light and safe to touch your face So we chose TR90 plastic that's made for eyewear Fake gray-market TR90 plastic is common in China. You gotta go to the source and make sure your TR90 is legit Glue is so important. If you put too much glue it will give issues, and add weight. Too little glue, won't stick. That's why it's better for a robot to do it (VIDEO) If the glue doesn't match the material perfectly, then it won't stick. So we tried like 4 glues to get the best one for our smart glasses You design the frame in 3D and then make a tool. A tool is just a metal mold that is shaped like the glasses. You put a bunch of melted plastic (TR90) in the tool, let it cool, and out pops the glasses frame. Do that 10,000 times Tooling leaves seams in the frame, so we figured out where to put the seam so it doesn't cut into your ear when you wear it Obviously this all must be super lightweight because the electronics are heavy The camera needs a certain perspective, so the glasses frame angles the camera down to capture hands in videos Throughout the design process, you can't sacrifice style And now our Mentra Live frames are bornshow more

In the Bible, Moses and the Israelites in the... desert followed the Lord, who appeared before them as a pillar of fire at night and as a pillar of cloud during the day. Today, many people, especially some Christians, would call such an appearance demonic when it is connected to the UAP phenomenon. Everyone should read the Bible to better understand the UAP phenomenon. When God appears, His presence is called the Shekinah, and that same presence was associated with the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy of Holies. The Bible also states that the Angel of God moved behind Moses and the Israelites, while the pillar of cloud and fire accompanied and protected them.show more

Middle infielders: I’m a believer in taking the throw... from in-front of the bag on a stolen-base attempt. The main reason why: Catchers aren’t always going to put the ball on the bag. A common miss is arm side, causing the throw to tail towards first base. When you're in-front, you have freedom to move toward a bad throw without the runner sliding underneath or into you. You can catch it, make the tag, and potentially keep a bad throw from getting into center field. If you straddle the bag, your range can become limited once the runner starts sliding in. In order to do this, you must LET THE BALL TRAVEL Don't reach out, catch it early, and then bring your glove back to the runner. You're wasting valuable time. Let the ball travel over the bag and make a quick tag. If he's out → quick tag If he's safe → tag and HOLD IT. Give him a chance to come off the bag. Get in-front Let the ball travel Catch it late Tag quicklyshow more

Red Bull's legal team woke up to a nightmare:... a 14-second dashcam clip of a Red Bull tanker truck cracking open on a highway and a man standing in a flood of energy drink with his arms spread. Except the truck never crashed. The highway doesn't exist. And the man bathing in Red Bull was rendered on a $25 AI setup. Total setup cost: $25. Render speed: 4 minutes. Red Bull spilled: 0 liters. 83 million views in 9 hours. Half the comments are tagging Red Bull demanding a sponsorship. The other half are calling it the best ad that was never paid for. Here is why your brain falls for this visual magic: 1. Fluid Viscosity: the liquid pouring from the tanker has the correct viscosity for a carbonated beverage. thinner than oil, thicker than water. slight foam at the edges. 2. Dashboard Instrument Accuracy: the speedometer reads 60 km/h. the tachometer sits at 2,800 RPM. the ratio is correct for 3rd gear in a compact sedan. 3. Brand Typography: the Red Bull logo on the tanker is stretched across a cylindrical surface with correct distortion for a tank that radius. not a flat paste. The dynamic next-gen AI stack operating under the hood: -> Claude Fable 5.1 for writing the crash sequence, fluid viscosity model, highway geometry, and crowd reaction timing -> Kling 3.0 Omni for generating the tanker rupture animation, fluid dynamics, and man-in-flood body physics in 4K -> Veo 3.1 for rendering the highway environment with native audio: metal tearing, liquid splash, car horn, and the man laughing -> Seedance 2.5 for locking the dashcam POV, brand typography distortion, and instrument cluster consistency -> CapCut Pro for dashcam compression, time stamp overlay, and windshield glare Red Bull's actual marketing team spends $2B a year crafting their brand around extreme stunts. This kid made the most viral Red Bull moment of the year and it cost him nothing. the brand got the exposure. the kid got the views. nobody signed a contract. save this before they take it downshow more

MiniMax H3 MiniMax Design (H3) just dropped, and I... tested it with this 15-second prompt. The results were more interesting than I expected. The character movement, physical interactions, and shot continuity are all impressive. At first glance, it already feels very close to Seedance 2.0. Watch the final video and find the full prompt below 👇 15-second, 16:9 vertical, continuous single-take video that looks like authentic smartphone footage accidentally captured by a passerby in a city park. Overcast natural daylight, subtle handheld shake, limited phone stabilization, occasional autofocus adjustment, and realistic smartphone compression. The absurd event is filmed with a completely serious, unscripted documentary feeling. 0–3s: [Handheld medium shot] A middle-aged man wearing a dark business suit and tie crouches beside the stone edge of a pond. With a completely serious expression, he slowly scatters pieces of bread from a paper bag to several ordinary koi. Small ripples spread across the water as the fish gather in front of him. 3–7s: [Camera instinctively moves closer] An abnormally huge orange-and-white koi suddenly surges out of the murky water, briefly lifting its upper body above the surface and biting down on the entire bread bag in the man’s left hand. He freezes for half a second, then grips the bag with both hands and leans backward. Startled, the person filming steps back. The image briefly loses focus before locking onto the man and the giant fish again. 7–11s: [Close handheld action shot] The giant koi pulls violently toward the deeper part of the pond. The wet paper bag stretches, the man’s arms tense, and his leather shoes slide repeatedly across the wet stone. His knee strikes the edge of the pond. He tries to brace himself with his right foot, but the sole loses traction and his center of gravity moves past the edge. Water, pieces of bread, and fallen leaves scatter from the force as the camera operator hurriedly moves sideways. 11–15s: [Impact and final hold] The paper bag suddenly tears. The man loses all support and pitches forward into the pond, creating one heavy, realistic splash. The camera quickly tilts downward while keeping the center of the pond visible. The man resurfaces with duckweed covering his head and his wet tie stuck across his face. The giant koi calmly swims past him with the remains of the bread bag still in its mouth. The camera holds on the man’s stunned expression while the koi casually swims away beside him. Keep the man’s face, dark suit, tie, and paper bag visually consistent throughout. The koi must retain the same orange-and-white markings and enormous size. The pulling, sliding, loss of balance, and fall must show believable weight, inertia, traction, and water displacement. Natural park ambience and a realistic splash only. No dialogue, no subtitles, no music. Avoid cuts, character teleportation, changes in the fish’s size, extra limbs, and cartoonish acting. #MiniMaxH3 #AIVideoshow more

Created on seedance 2.0 Prompt: A cinematic, atmospheric scene... in a dimly lit, empty underground parking garage at night. A young East Asian woman with long dark hair, wearing an olive-green oversized jacket and cargo pants, walks slowly away from the camera down the center of a wide parking lane, holding a white plastic bag in her right hand. The environment is cool-toned with concrete pillars, fluorescent tube lights on the ceiling casting harsh shadows, and painted arrows on the glossy floor. She approaches a parked dark green/teal luxury sedan on the right side. She stops beside the car, raises her arm, and hangs the white plastic bag on the side mirror or door handle. She then turns slightly toward the camera, leans against the car for a moment, pulls out her phone with both hands, and looks down at the screen with a focused, slightly uneasy expression. Suddenly, a eerie supernatural moment: a translucent, ghostly pale female figure with long black hair and a white dress materializes in the background behind her. The woman looks up from her phone in shock as the ghost stands motionless, staring. Quick motion blur and dramatic tension as she reacts. Moody horror-thriller style, realistic lighting, subtle film grain, cool blue-cyan color grading, slow deliberate camera movement following her from behind then panning slightly to the side. 12-second duration, high detail, cinematic." This prompt captures the full sequence from the provided video frames while being optimized for AI video tools. You can adjust details like aspect ratio (16:9), style (more horror, more realistic), or camera movement as needed.show more
