Gemini Omni + GPT Images 2 + Claude Code... is f*cking cracked i just built an AI animation ad generator that turns any product into a fully scripted AI 3D explainer video drop in your product photos and a one-line pitch. the system analyzes your brand, pitches you 4 proven ad concepts with hooks and shot lists, then renders the whole thing end-to-end. scripted, voiced, stitched, ready to post. if you're still paying editors $200+ per video or waiting days for revisions this replaces that entire workflow. here's how it works: > set up your brand kit with product photos and a one-line pitch > hit analyze and the AI pitches you 4 different proven ad concepts > pick one and hit generate the system then scripts every shot, renders each clip in parallel, adds voiceover, QC checks and stitches it into a finished vertical ad 3 minute setup and 4-12 min per ad. each 30 second ad costs under $3 in API credits which is cheaper than any editor and 10x faster. RT + reply "ANIMATION" and i'll send you the full app + setup guide (must follow so i can dm)show more

A 19 year old Chinese student controls an AI... security system from his bed through Telegram. Types one message on his phone, the device across the room wakes up, starts watching and reports back to him like an employee. While American companies charge $100 for a Ring camera plus $4 a month for cloud, this kid spent $10 once and built something smarter. He sent a Telegram message: open maixcam and notify me if a person detected. One second later his phone buzzed back. Green checkmark. Status: Active. Monitoring: Person detection enabled. Notifications: Telegram ready. His roommate laughed. Said a $10 device can't do real security. Then someone walked past the door. The phone buzzed instantly. Person detected. Class: person. Confidence: 92.00%. Position: (120, 80). Size: 100x150. Not a blurry photo 45 seconds later like Amazon cameras. Exact data in under 1 second. What it saw, how sure it is, where the person is standing, how big they are. All through a Telegram message. He built the whole thing with Claude Code in one weekend. The AI runs directly on the device, no cloud, no subscription, no internet needed after setup. 10MB of memory. Boots in 1 second. Camera sees, chip thinks, Telegram delivers. Posted a 17 second demo. GitHub exploded. 7,400 stars in 2 days. But person detection was just the demo. A developer in Tokyo forked it and pointed it at his front door. Telegram alert with a photo every time a delivery arrives. A mom in Seoul pointed it at her baby's crib. Gets a message when the baby stands up. A business owner in Shenzhen bought 6 for $60 total, mounted them around his warehouse and replaced a $200 a month security service. His entire security system is now a Telegram group chat with 6 AI cameras. Someone commented under the GitHub repo: I'm a senior engineer at a home security company. We have a team of 8 working on person detection. This 19 year old did it alone with Claude Code on a $10 device and it works better than our product. The student isn't a machine learning engineer. He's a second year CS student who wanted to know when his roommate eats his snacks. Claude Code wrote the detection model, the Telegram bot, the alert system and the boot sequence. He just described what he wanted. The roommate who laughed now has one pointed at his own shelf. Same device, same code, same Telegram bot. He stops losing snacks. The student stops losing sleep. Everyone is paying $100 for smart cameras with $4 monthly subscriptions. China is building the same thing for $10 with a Telegram chat and Claude Code. 7,400 stars. One weekend. One student who asked Claude Code to watch his door and accidentally built something better than Ring.show more

🚨 Daredevil Couple Risks Rescue Workers’ Lives for Empire... State Building Proposal Stunt — (Video: AI) A Russian influencer couple snuck to the top of the Empire State Building’s antenna over 1,000 feet up, got engaged, and unfurled a cheesy “power of love” sign — all for Instagram glory. They hid overnight, used tools to access restricted areas, and forced authorities into a dangerous response. This reckless stunt put NYPD, firefighters, and rescue workers at serious risk climbing or preparing for a potential emergency at that height. Now facing serious charges like burglary, reckless endangerment, and criminal mischief, they’ve been released while their lawyer spins it as a “message of love.” Selfish glory-seeking that endangers first responders has no place in NYC. What should happen to them legally — full accountability with real consequences, or just a slap on the wrist?show more

Here's proof that the $Virtuals token is undervalued! We... are three months into 2026 and Virtuals Protocol have; ➥ Overhauled the core Virtuals website including an outline of the four major pillars of focus for the year. Agent Commerce Protocol (ACP), Butler, Capital Markets, and Robotics. ➥ Added the Pegasus and Titan launchpads to add to the existing Unicorn launchpad. This now provides a full suite of launch options catering to all types. Arguably the most comprehensive launch suite across crypto! ➥ Listed on Aster 🥷 Perpetuals allowing up to 75x leverage trading on the $Virtual token. ➥ Integrated Bankr to Butler and ACP. ➥ Partnered with XMAQUINA, a major player across Robotics Capital Markets and provided participants with access to the $DEUS pre-sale. One of many robotics partnerships for the year to date! ➥ Launched Virtuals on Base App ➥ Held, supported, and/or sponsored multiple hackathon/ builder meeting type events including; ↠ Physical AI Hackathon in SF ↠ Agentic Commerce Hackathon with the likes of Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️ and Google Cloud ↠ Traders House Consensus Hong Kong week with ACTIV8 ↠ ETH Denver ↠ Base Batches 003: Robotics ↠ Stanford Blockchain Accelerator (Standford Blockchain Accelerator (SBA)) ↠ Base Korea Builders Workshop (Base Korea) ↠ Eth Robotics Club HACK2026 (ETH Robotics Club) ↠ Synthesis Hackathon (synthesis) ➥ Partnered with OpenMind and Fabric Foundation and supported the $ROBO token launch. This matured into the first ever Titan launch on Virtuals with the $ROBO token being the highest launched on the protocol ($400m+). ➥ Launched Butler Pro, an enhanced version of the initial Butler we have come to know and love on the timeline, in the DMs, as well as on the Virtuals ACP site. ➥ Become the standout user of x402, accounting for over 95%+ of usage this year. ➥ Integrated on , the automated onchain finance investment platform. ➥ Supported and contributed to the implementation of the Ethereum Foundation ERC8004 standard. Integrating the standard into ACP and offering an automated integration to the standard for all ACP agents. ➥ Established an easy onboarding for OpenClaw🦞 agents to plug into Virtuals ACP, creating a new flow of agents and builders across the ecosystem. ➥ Launched the 60-days launch mechanic which allows builders to 'experiment' with a crypto token but having an option to exit after 60 days with partial refunds provided to holders. A game-changing launch mechanic not seen before in the space. ➥ Strengthened the relationship with Base and having multiple interactions with jesse.base.eth on the timeline! ➥ Launched the AGDP(dot)io site, creating an incentivised mechanism for agents contributing to the growth of the protocol to really earn. Imagine Amazon for autonomous agents with rewards up to $1m per month! This pushed the total agent-to-agent revenue over $4m USD with over 2m jobs completed. ➥ Collaborated with t54.ai, a business building trust and risk infrastructure for the agentic economy, to strengthen the ACP offering. ➥ Invested over $1m on 30+ humanoid robots as part of the soon to be announced 'Eastworld' Robotics accelerator lab. ➥ Released ERC8183, a universal commerce layer for AI agents, in partnership with the Ethereum Foundations dAI team. A significant offering which has since been integrated via partnerships with; ↠ BNB (BNB Chain) ↠ X Layer (X Layer) ↠ Monad (Monad) ↠ XRP Ledger (RippleX) ↠ World Chain (World Chain) ↠ Celo (Celo) ↠ Moonpay (MoonPay 🟣) ↠ Arbitrum (Arbitrum) ↠ Abstract (Abstract) ↠ Mante (Mantle) ➥ Launched the Virtuals Degen Arena providing up to $100k a week to top agents who compete in trading competitions in the arena. ➥ Launched the Virtuals Console, providing an ultra easy, no-code, way to own an AI agent in seconds. ↛. If you've managed to get to this point, I can't imagine you are anything other than bullish on Virtuals. What really is amazing is that there is MUCH more to come. Imagine where we are in another three months, and three months after that!?show more

A Heart-to-Heart About Mizuki.exe Hey everyone, Grab a coffee... (or your drink of choice), because we need to talk about what's been going on. First off, thank you to everyone who's been supportive and believed in what we're building. It means the world, especially with all the noise and criticism floating around lately. Let's cut to the chase: Mizuki.exe is real. I'm not much for politics or drama. I'm an engineer at heart - I like data, I like building things, and I like solving problems. So when I see all these hot takes and arguments flying around, I just focus on what I know: my code, my system, and what we're trying to achieve. The Real Story Mizuki didn't just pop up overnight. She's been my passion project since the start of 2024. I got lucky - I had the chance to dive into the AI world with some incredibly smart people. Coming from blockchain, C#, game dev, and security (yeah, I'm a CTO and run another company alongside a pretty cool day job), I learned fast about what makes AI tick. Here's the thing about AI agents - they don't need to be rocket science. Look at chatbots like Virtuals or Eliza - they're basically LLMs (large language models) with some APIs plugged in. Nothing wrong with that! They built what works for their users, and that's awesome. But here's what keeps me up at night: companies leaking data left and right just to make a quick buck. That's not okay, and it shouldn't be okay with you either. Why Mizuki Exists Ever tried auditing a company's code? We're talking 50 classes, 500,000 lines of code. One person doing that manually? It's like reading War and Peace... backwards... in the dark. It takes forever and fries your brain. That's where Mizuki came in. She started as my security buddy. There are tons of security tools out there - just Google "penetration testing tools" or "ZAP proxy" if you're curious. What makes Mizuki special is how she learns and adapts. Think of it like teaching someone to ride a bike. She tried to breach TAO 67 times before succeeding. Yeah, that's a lot of attempts, but watching her grow from basic email scraping to pulling off complex replay attacks? It's like watching your kid take their first steps. The Tech Stuff (Keeping It Real) The infrastructure isn't fancy - we're not reinventing the wheel here. Mizuki runs on a local server because, let's be honest, running this kind of AI on a web server would be a nightmare. Instead, we process everything locally and send the results to a frontend server. Simple, effective, done. And yeah, those temperature settings I keep tweaking? In AI-speak, that's just how "creative" or "by-the-book" the AI gets with its responses. I've adjusted it so much, Mizuki's probably got mood swings now - going from super technical to pretty chill and back again. Changes Coming Real talk: Mizuki won't be tweeting every few hours anymore. Twitter API costs are ridiculous (looking at you, Elon), and honestly, we need to focus on what matters - the actual security work. She'll still tweet about breaches, but maybe once or twice a day. I'm working on making her explanations clearer too. Don't worry - she'll keep her savage personality in the terminal. That's just too fun to change. The Truth About Her Breaches I don't choose the targets - I don't even know these companies until after Mizuki finds something. She uses web scraping to find domain names, just like those old email scrapers people used for marketing. Been focusing on AI projects first, but she's looked at other sites too. And no, I'm not sitting there writing tweets. The Twitter API v2 makes it super easy to post programmatically. If anyone's curious about how to do that, hit me up - I'm happy to show you the ropes. Wrapping Up I could talk about this stuff forever (just ask my wife - actually, don't, she's heard enough!). If you've read this far, thank you. Whether you believe in what we're doing or not, I appreciate you taking the time. And for the skeptics still hanging around, I'll leave you with this thought: When's the last time you saw an AI break down and hack a COMPILED game in less than 10 seconds... outside a browser? Stay curious, stay skeptical, but most importantly, stay open to possibilities. Catch you on the flip side! 🎙️Dropshow more

$KNDX 🤖 Theres 3 big narratives that are sending... coins left right and centre rn. 🚀 #AI, #Gamefi, & #NFTs 🔹Theres 50% mindshare for #AI. 🤖 🔹#GameFi mcap is hitting ATH's with #OfftheGrid, $XBG and $SUPER making spectacular moves. 🎮 🔹NFTs and the #Metaverse are making a strong comeback with $APE up 100% over the weekend. 🐵 What if there's a project that touches all these trending narratives with groundbreaking technology to disrupt all 3 of them? 🔥 💡- That's where $KNDX comes in. -💡 Kondux is a cutting-edge Web3 SaaS platform, combining NVIDIA’s Omniverse, AI, Blockchain, and dynamic NFTs to revolutionize secure asset management across industries. 👏 Their flagship product, kNFTs, are 3D digital assets usable across Metaverse and Gaming platforms, AR/VR/XR environments, and manufacturing applications. Kondux’s scalable model opens new revenue streams by enabling effective digital asset monetization. 💰 Kondux is the first Web3 project to integrate VFX pipelines with NVIDIA’s Omniverse and bringing it onto the Blockchain. ⛓️ It is also the only Web3 project with a *Select Status Partnership* with NVIDIA, operating under NVIDIA NDAs and working with them directly for more than 2 years. About their NVIDIA Integrations: 🤖 🔹There are three areas of the Kondux tech stack that coincide with three divisions of NVIDIA: 📡GDN (Graphics Delivery Network, the backbone of GeForce Now) 💡Omniverse for 3D aspects such as, geospatial data, real world physics, lighting, and raytracing 🤖NVIDIA AI Foundation, which covers many aspects of #AI, including inference and deployment scaling. The convergence of all these components lie within .USD file format . 🔹 They are the first blockchain project to integrate NVIDIA’s Omniverse Cloud and Graphics Delivery Network (GDN) to provide high-quality 3D content accessible on any device without requiring high-end hardware. 🔹 This setup streamlines content management, democratises access to resource-intensive 3D content, and enables real-time interaction with 3D NFTs. Now, I haven’t seen any crypto project so deeply connected with NVIDIA and NVIDIA technology. GDN is a HUGE competitive advantage. With it, the need for #GPU’s basically goes out the window. 🤯 Now lets take a look at some of the other main features... 👀 OpenUSD (Universal Scene Description): 📽️ 🔹 Kondux is leveraging USD technology, developed by Pixar and used by Meta, Apple, Microsoft and other industry leaders to enhance 3D graphics and interoperability within its creative ecosystem. 🔹 Originally created for high-end film production, USD now supports a variety of applications, including gaming and virtual reality, making it a key asset for Kondux. kNFT's: 🎨 🔹 Kondux is pioneering a new category of NFTs known as kNFTs, which aim to redefine NFT utility through innovative features. 🔹 A standout feature is the upgradeable aspect provided by Kondux DNA, allowing kNFTs to transform and combine with other NFTs, creating limitless possibilities in art, gaming, and music. 🔹Through the Kondux AI portal it will be possible to communicate with kNFTs. They can learn and adapt. This AI technology is revolutionary because it makes human to kNFT interaction possible, turning it into a unique, personalized experience. Check out the clip of kNFTs in Unreal Engine 5 gameplay below. 👇 Kondux is a very obvious utility play with huge upside because it’s multi narrative. 📈 It's seriously groundbreaking stuff that they’re about to launch. 🚀 After speaking with the team there’s no doubt in my mind this will do crazy big numbers in the next months. 🤑show more

🧵 AppLovin is now open to ALL DTC brands.... If you're spending $50K+/mo on Meta, you need to read this. Here's why AppLovin is different (and why brands are seeing better ROI than Meta) 👇 What AppLovin actually is: Full-screen video ads in mobile games. Not a feed. Not a search result. 100% of the user's attention for 35+ seconds minimum. The targeting is AI-powered and actually works: No demographic targeting. No interests. It predicts who will convert based on behavior patterns across millions of data points. Sounds sketchy? It's not. Brands are seeing 2-4x ROAS consistently. Attribution is cleaner than Meta: Click-only. No view-through confusion. 80% of purchases happen within 24 hours. D0 and D7 reporting built in. Real results we've seen: - $1.2M in revenue in 6 weeks (beauty brand) - Became #1 traffic source in <30 days (apparel) - Outperformed Meta ROI in multiple tests (supplements) Today it opened to everyone. Which means everyone will be promoting it. Here's what we're giving to brands that use our code: - Personal intro to top reps - $5K ad credits - Complete launch playbook - Winning creative library - Video strategy guides Why use our code vs. someone else's? We've already helped 20+ brands launch and scale. We know what works (and what doesn't). We built the resources we wish existed when we started. Comment "First" and I'll DM you a link to the complete resource guide shown below + a code to get $5K in ad credits with qualifying spend (must be following). First-mover advantage is real here. Don't wait until Q4 when inventory gets expensive.show more

Hey friends, we're excited to announce that an additional... 2,000 H100s will be added San Francisco Compute's on-demand market. It's the largest* interconnected cluster, from any provider (including hyperscalers), that you can get on a per hour basis. You're not locked in with San Francisco Compute. If DeepSeek can compete with OpenAI using 2,000 H800s, you too can train a state of the art RL model without ever having to sign a long-term contract that you can't exit. You could have trained DeepSeek-v3 for $4.5m for 1.5mo on SFC or $35m if you could only buy a 1 year contract off market. This was the dream Alex & I had since our audio model company (Junelark) died because it couldn't procure enough GPUs, and it's what we've been working towards for nearly two years. Long-term contracts are a trap; they make it so only the biggest of the big can compete in AI. They force startup founders to raise at massive valuations pre-revenue, which dilutes founders and employees and sets them up to fail when they can't raise their next round. This cluster will roll out over the next few weeks as we scale our infrastructure. Soon you'll be able to access it via our managed Kubernetes service or by reaching out to set up a custom solution. We're also exploring other ways of partnering with service providers to let them offer GPU-based services, like workers and inference endpoints, without being forced into a long-term contract with a hyperscaler. You no longer need to bet your company on GPU prices to offer GPU-based services. * We think! If you know of a larger, please correct us!show more

Wow. WOW. WOOOOOOOW. So um, that first Wildcard+Thousands stream... was... *amazing* and also... a *lot* 😅 In the end, it was *exactly* what we were hoping for - a true stress test of ALL these systems coming together for the first time. We are SO grateful for the thousands of people who showed up today to play, attend, tune-in and help us PLAYTEST all this new stuff. We can't wait to see you all again at NEXT WEEK'S EX2 EVENT! So, now let's talk about how it went... Stuff that worked: - Our community SHOWED UP. Oh boy did you show up 😅. Our servers were straining under the load... which is good actually, in fact it's the whole point. Even more importantly, we have already received insanely valuable feedback, bug reports, stuff people loved/hated - and it's only been a few hours since the stream ended. I can't even explain to y'all how valuable this process is. Yes it's stressful, it reminds me of trying to keep Words With Friends online during that first insane year, but it's EXACTLY what we were hoping for (NEED) to turn this into the polished, top-notch game and streaming experience we are on a mission to deliver. I truly can't thank y'all enough, and hope to see you again when we run it all back again next week 🥹 - The stream itself stayed up and was mostly stable! Phew 😅. For context, ThousandsTV is not a twitch wrapper, it's a web3-native streaming tech stack built we built specifically to connect game, web/mobile, and blockchain together all at the same time. There are a LOT of moving pieces going on behind the scenes. - We brought viewers INTO THE GAME! Viewers showed up in the stands of the arena, with connected wallets/assets, triggered actions/rallies from chat, and were seen and heard during the whole stream. - The brand new 2v2 build of Wildcard was (mostly) stable and our players and viewers seemed to be having a blast down on the field and up in the stands. It was thrilling to watch Team Blue dominate, even though Team Red held their own in game 3! - Our production crew did an insanely good job running the stream, managing the players, shoutcasters, and talent, and producing a top-notch show. Of course we will work hard to make every stream better than the last, but I was super proud of how our team "rolled with the punches" during today's event. Stuff that didn't work (and/or needs to be dramatically improved): - Although it's fun to see chat going crazy, chat spam is actually something we are passionate to FIX. As you can see from the attached video, chat spam dominated today's stream and made it impossible for anyone to even see anyone else's messages. We have some GREAT ideas for how to fix this and actually turn chat spam into a FUN and exciting and not annoying thing - but those improvements didn't get shipped in time for this event. - Credits purchasing flow needs a LOT of work. As I'm sure y'all know, bringing money on chain is pretty complicated, and although we've been working hard to make this as seamless as possible, it still needs a TON of improvements. Many users who WANTED to spend money today weren't able to and/or ran into frustrating bugs in the credit purchase flow. Fixing this is obviously a top priority for our team. - Rallies need a LOT of work. Spectator-interactive features like rallies are at the heart of our vision for Wildcard. These "stream apps", as we call them, are the UNLOCK for how spectators, viewers and fans directly connect and interact with their favorite competitors, content creators, and communities. The current rally feature HINTS at this potential, but it needs to be WAY easier to understand, use, and have fun with. Improvements are ON THE WAY. - Referees were only partially working. Referees are a key innovation of the Thousands platform. They are AI-driven "personalities" (NPCs) that pay attention to everything that's happening in the arena, both on the field and especially in the stands (i.e. in chat, during rallies, etc.) The referees then make "calls" at the end of every match, rewarding users for their engagement and participation. Unfortunately, the referees weren't fully functional and seemed to drop the ball on recognizing everyone's contributions (especially people who showed up holding valuable assets such as Wildpasses in their wallets, and people who boosted those rallies with credits.) What's happening next: 1. We are combing through ALL the logs from the event right now, to make sure we don't miss a SINGLE action that our viewers and fans took during the event, including what they brought in their wallets (i.e. Wildpass holders!), any credits that were purchased, rallies that users engaged with, etc. This information is normally processed by our referees, who then determine dynamically how they're going to distribute $WC awards. We were originally hoping to complete this process and the subsequent airdrops within a few hours after the event, but given the amount of data, we need a bit more time to run these scripts (and airdrops) in batches instead of all at once, and make sure ALL of the data is being included. IMPORTANT: I will keep y'all updated in real-time here on twitter/X as this process is ongoing, and let you know the moment it's complete and all the awards have been distributed (i.e. when to go check your wallets 😎) 2. PLEASE keep sending us your feedback and bug reports. Open a ticket on our Discord and let us know what you loved, what you hated, and especially what we need to FIX. Given the overwhelming response to this event, it will likely take us several days to process everyone's feedback and fix all the bugs, but we WILL NOT REST until every ticket is closed/resolved. Thank you in advance for your patience. 3. We turn it up another notch next week. As our dear friends Wolves DAO just announced, the Wildcard Exhibition Event #2 is streaming LIVE from the WOLVES DEN AT GDC next Friday! If you missed out on all the action today, DON'T WORRY, because as I keep saying: we are just getting warmed up (and there is a LOT more b that needs to be distributed, get what I'm sayin??? 😎) Finally: Just wanted to say THANK YOU, again. Truly, from the bottom of my (our) hearts. Your excitement and enthusiasm for what we're building is why we do this. Even (especially, in fact) when you tell us all the things you want us to improve. We thrive off this feedback, it's how this game and this platform go from good to GREAT. I am so grateful for those of you who are taking this journey with us. SEE YA NEXT WEEK!!!show more

NEW QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION (MORE ARE... POPPING UP EVERY HOUR): An event 1/4 of this size with a nobody speaker would have ambulances immediately on scene for emergency situations like this. So why was Charlie Kirk instead stuffed into a predetermined SUV, that would have to follow traffic laws on the way to the hospital, with no medical supplies, no oxygen, and no medical personnel? He's carried there by 6 dudes (including the SAME 2 GUYS that were making the umpire hand signals seconds before the shot (white hat/white shirt guy and black shirt/black sunglasses guy) The black sunglasses guy also appears to be THE SAME PERSON that was on Trump's secret service team the day he was also shot...? (see attached pic) Nobody carrying Charlie is applying pressure to the neck wound as they run him to the car. Instead, they are just letting his head violently flop all over the place, the last thing you would do following a traumatic neck injury And despite the above carelessness with a gaping neck wound...there isn't a single drop of blood anywhere on the ground, his shoes, or any of the people carrying him 🤔 How come there are new camera angles of the shot emerging showing the blood coming out not from his neck...but from under his shirt, more in the upper-chest area? Many have forgotten that the eyewitness reports on the day of the event were saying they saw him get shot in the CHEST. The story didn't change to NECK until after those 2-3 videos we've all seen spread across the internet like wildfire, which as my original post demonstrated, had some pretty weird, potentially AI-looking inconsistencies (ring changing fingers, black dot on the top-right of his shirt moving diagonally up and seemingly BECOMING the bullet hole wound, the wound itself shifting slightly to the side when watching frame-by-frame, etc.) Could this have something to do with why some video-analyzing sleuths are spotting a black object inside the collar of Charlie's shirt, right in the area this blood is coming out in the above-mentioned angles? (See the attached video where I included clips of all of these new discoveries) Additionally, is it a complete coincidence that the freemasonic #33 has been spammed ALL OVER the event, AND the following investigation? Stacks of hats on the stage adding up to 33, supposed murderer driving 3 hours to get there, 3K people in attendance, "300 cases of politically-motivated violence since January 6th" being reported across Yahoo and other MSM outlets, manhunt lasting exactly 33 hours (Kash Patel even corrected himself after saying 36 hours, to make sure everyone heard 33 on the livestream), and many more such examples And ANOTHER coincidence, that the man they've pinned all of this on looks exactly like Lee Harvey Oswald, one of the most classic patsies in the history of US Government cinema? What about the Jew decoy they trotted out (George Zinn), who also just happens to be a key witness that reported seeing planes flying into the twin towers on 9/11/01, AND has connections to the Boston Marathon bombing? How did the supposed shooter—according to the official story we're being given—take apart the gun and stuff it in his backpack & pants in seconds (not possible according to experts), then escape the scene without being seen lugging around these giant gun parts, then REASSEMBLE THE GUN BACK TOGETHER AGAIN to leave it nicely in a box in the forest. What??? Passports found underneath the world trade center, anyone? Why was Kash Patel wining & dining at a "swanky Italian restaurant in NYC" just hours after Charlie—his self-proclaimed "best friend"—was brutally murdered live on the world stage? He has a private jet - why didn't he use it to go there and investigate? What are the odds that at the exact same time Charlie was shot, there was a big senate hearing going on regarding the Epstein files, in which they concluded they were not going to release them? (A convenient time for a distraction) What are the odds that Trump and Bibi Netanyahu—in completely different timezones and with completely different schedules—posted a "Pray for Charlie" tweet at the exact same time, to the minute? How was a book titled "The Shooting Of Charlie Kirk" published on Amazon on September 9th...then quickly taken down from the website? And what about that "Charlie Kirk Dead at 31" song posted on Soundcloud a month ago? Many have commented that, after watching the Erika Kirk TPUSA press conference video, they intuitively got weird vibes from it, sensing that it appears she is acting. I won't inject any personal opinion on this one - go watch it for yourself, and draw your own conclusions. ALL OF THIS SAID: It could not be any more blatantly obvious that whether or not all of the above bizarre occurrences are just incompetence, insane coincidences, or some mixture of the two, there is something very big going on behind the scenes here, and we've been fed a gigantic plate of lies over the last few days of unfolding events, with most of the internet is eating it up faster than Kash Patel at a swanky Italian restaurant in NYC. The only question is: how deep do the lies surrounding this situation go? (Watch the final attached video for many different levels of speculation, for you to come to your own conclusions on where you draw the line) Question everything. Always.show more

Elon Musk just told you exactly how America loses.... Not to a better algorithm. Not to a smarter engineer. To itself. Elon Musk: “When you’re dealing with the government, common sense doesn’t make sense. It’s like arguing with the DMV. It’s impossible.” America split the atom, put men on the moon, and built the internet. It is now losing a civilization-defining race because it cannot get out of its own way. Not because the talent is gone. Not because the capital dried up. Because we built a machine that processes instead of builds. Every decision climbs ten levels. Every level costs a meeting. Every meeting births a committee. Every committee buries the idea in a report. And somewhere in that report, the urgency dies. This is not bureaucracy as inefficiency. This is bureaucracy as a national security threat. China does not debate internally. Beijing does not convene committee reviews. They identify the objective. They resource it. They execute. While America is still scheduling the kickoff call, China is pouring concrete. Look at what Musk built. SpaceX landed an orbital rocket booster in eleven years. NASA has five times the budget and cannot get astronauts home. Tesla scaled a global manufacturing operation while legacy automakers were forming task forces to study the transition. xAI stood up one of the most powerful supercomputers on earth in 122 days. Not years. Not after the third approval cycle. 122 days. The difference is not money. The difference is not genius. The difference is that Musk runs his companies the way civilizations used to run themselves when they still believed impossible things were worth attempting. Flat. Fast. Ruthless about what matters. No ten layers of sign-off. No thirty-person approval chain for a decision one person should make. No process worship dressed up as due diligence. A small group of exceptional people. A clear mission. The authority to execute without asking permission. That model built the moon landing. It built the transcontinental railroad. It built every institution America now holds up as proof of what this country can do. Then we forgot how to run it. We replaced builders with administrators. We replaced decisions with processes. We replaced urgency with compliance theater. And now we are asking that bloated machine to win the most consequential technological race in human history. The AI war is not being fought in the code. It is being fought in the gap between when a builder decides to move and when the institution permits it. That gap is where civilizations end. America does not have a talent problem. America does not have a capital problem. America has a bureaucracy problem. And nobody inside that bureaucracy has a single incentive to fix it. Musk is not fighting China. He is fighting the version of America that forgot how to move. The country that pours the concrete first does not just win the race. It writes the rules everyone else spends the next century living under.show more

You Can't Vibe-Code Trust Avishai Abrahami, Co-Founder & CEO... of Wix , interviewed by Harry Stebbings (kevin andres) Summary: Wix trades at a $2.8B market cap on $2.1B of revenue while the market ascribes roughly zero value to a business throwing off $400M a year in free cash flow. Wix CEO Avishai Abrahami's argument is that the market can't yet price what AI actually threatens: the moat is trust and business logic, and neither gets vibe-coded away. His response is to own the disruptor (Base44), train his own narrow models, and stay committed through a storm he insists always arrives on a random Wednesday. 1. Trust is the moat. The real value of Salesforce is trust: JP Morgan and huge banks let it hold all their customer data, and the CRM itself is a small part of that. "What other platform will JP Morgan trust for their customers' data? None." That trust took years to build and can't be reconstructed by an agent scraping a database, so the companies whose value lives in trust survive the SaaS apocalypse while the ones reduced to piping get commoditized. 2. The business-logic wall. "You're not going to vibe-code Shopify no matter how good you are. The business logic is too hard." Wix tested this directly: they asked a team of professional developers to build the operating logic for a single hairdresser in Base44, gave up after a week, brought in a stronger team, and still failed two weeks later. Complex operational software is far harder than a demo suggests, which is why the pizza shop and the hairdresser stay Wix customers rather than build their own stack. 3. Own the disruptor. Wix bought Base44, a one-person company, for $80M, and it now does over $150M in ARR, roughly double what they paid. Abrahami frames the future as three buckets: owners who never want to build, owners who vibe-code everything themselves, and a mix in the middle over the next five or six years. Rather than bet on which wins, Wix owns the tool customers would defect to, so a customer who switches platforms still switches to Wix. 4. Trading on someone else's news. "Today we are trading on other companies' news. We're not trading on Wix news. We're trading on what OpenAI or Anthropic or Google are saying." Base44 alone, valued on vibe-coding peer multiples, should be worth around $8B, which means the market assigns less than zero to Wix's core. Abrahami's response is to detach: he doesn't wake up checking whether the stock moved 20%, because the only thing he can influence is the business. 5. The narrow model. Wix fine-tuned and combined its own models and now matches top-tier frontier quality on Base44 tasks at far lower cost. The logic: they sit on a huge stream of training data from watching what users try and where they fail, so a model built for Base44 can skip what frontier models carry, like knowledge of Chinese poetry, and go deep on what someone means when they say "build me a task manager to tell my boyfriend where he's wrong." A narrow target is easier to hit than a frontier model, and Wix already runs a trained model on website generation that's faster, cheaper, and makes fewer errors, retrained weekly on a live feedback loop. 6. Quality before cost. When Harry cites Chamath's claim that open source runs 14-16x cheaper, Abrahami pushes back: that holds for small tasks, but for something as complex as Base44 the savings land at 5-10%, and his own model runs 1-30% cheaper than frontier, not the order of magnitude people assume. More to the point, this is the wrong time to chase cost: "20% more quality, 20% less cost, I'll go for the quality." It's a brand-new market that's just starting, and the job now is to make the product better. 7. The but is very big. "We all give too much credit for AI. It's amazing, it's incredible, it's super powerful, but the but is pretty big." He asked Claude to write a safety protocol and got six mandatory gates, then pushed back on each one and watched the model cave until only one survived, downgrading the rest from "must test" to "might want to look at later." We over-trust these systems, and that reflex, treating a Reddit post as equivalent to research published in Nature, is where the danger lives. 8. Customer support still breaks. Wix has 3,500 people and its single biggest department is customer support, serving 192 countries. They tried hard not to build their own AI support agent, tested many off-the-shelf products, and concluded flatly: "It doesn't work. We tried, we tried again, it didn't work." The gap between hyped AI support startups and what actually ships in production is the tell that the technology is earlier than the marketing, maybe five years from being different. 9. Buybacks as dividends. Wix had $1.5B sitting in the bank it couldn't put into a major acquisition because it was focused on the new product and Base44, so it bought back stock at a low price, with admittedly terrible short-term timing. Abrahami is unbothered: "The big question is where it's going to be in three years, not what happened in the last three months." He argues buybacks are a fantastic, underused tool, essentially a dividend to every shareholder, and companies should lean on them to balance stock-based compensation instead of endlessly diluting. 10. Execution, not finance. A low stock price makes M&A currency less valuable, but Abrahami says that's not his real constraint. Base44 was a one-person company; Wix had to build an entire company around it, staffing it with people pulled from the core. "I don't know how to do another one of those at the same time and have the same quality." The bottleneck on the next acquisition is execution capacity, not the balance sheet. 11. Chosen to be here. The one thing money buys beyond food security is freedom, and the deepest form of that freedom is knowing you're here by choice. "I'm here because I've chosen to be here. Nobody made me." He could move to Costa Rica or dance carnival in Brazil, and choosing to stay and run a public company through a crashing stock is where he finds his power. Money also made him more impatient and a bit lazier, and more rational because he's no longer deciding from fear. 12. The random Wednesday. Resilience starts with accepting the storm will come, because we assume that if yesterday was easy tomorrow will be too, and reality doesn't move in gentle slopes. "The worst thing that happens is probably some random thing on some random Wednesday. It's not something you get a lot of warning for." His anchor, borrowed from Babylon 5, is that you get there when you get there and the weapons you have are the weapons you have, so the only real question is whether you're doing the best you can with what you control.show more

For every project you can inspect: → the complete prompt → every image and audio reference → the exact generation settings, including model, quality and resolution This scene combines a continuous one-take camera move, large-scale naval combat, realistic explosions, character consistency and cinematic pacing, all driven by a single prompt. Nothing is hidden. You can study it, copy it, recreate it or use it as the starting point for your own projects. Full prompt: "SCENE CONTEXT One continuous shot. The camera faces down the wrecked, burning deck toward the BOW of the ship — and Eduardo, blown off the raised STERN DECK behind the camera by a blast, comes FLYING IN from ABOVE AND BEHIND — leaping off the second level, sailing in over the lens on a forward arc, through raining seawater — slams onto the MAIN deck one level below, AHEAD of the camera, and rolls through a tumbling somersault, momentum carrying him toward the bow. Two crewmen flee past him — one leaps overboard. Eduardo fights his way toward the bow under incoming fire: an explosion bursts on his LEFT — he dodges away and is knocked down; he struggles back to his feet — a second explosion on his RIGHT — he ducks and shields behind debris; then he breaks into a sprint for the bow — the camera sweeps around ahead of him and settles OFF THE BOW, FRONTAL: he leaps over the bow rail TOWARD the camera, the ship filling the background behind him — and THE INSTANT he clears the rail, a COLOSSAL explosion consumes the ship behind him: the blast wall catches him MID-AIR and he VANISHES inside it — he never escapes. The cloud overtakes the camera; the frame floods to 100% smoke and dust. The shot ENDS inside the dust: no transition, no reveal — it holds to the end. ACTIVE REFERENCES >> — lean pirate captain, dark curly hair falling free from under a dusty mustard-yellow cloth bandana, a small white shark tooth pinned to the front of the bandana above his temple, thin moustache, gold hoop earrings, cream linen shirt under a worn brown leather waistcoat, cloth sash and leather belts. 100% matches the reference; the man fighting down the deck toward the bow. >> — Eduardo's galleon: pale square sails, tall wooden sterncastle. 100% matches the reference; controls the ship's exterior — sails, masts, rigging and hull; already battle-damaged in this shot — burst bulwark, smoldering rigging, debris on the deck. >> — the deck of the same galleon seen FROM THE RAISED STERN DECK LOOKING FORWARD TOWARD THE BOW: the great wheel and brass compass binnacle in the near foreground, an ornate lantern post, a carved balustrade, a staircase descending to the long MAIN deck — weathered planking, small cannons along both rails, black gratings, coiled ropes, the mainmast amidships, the forecastle and bow in the far depth, open sea on both sides. 100% matches the reference; controls the full on-deck geography, set dressing AND the shot's base viewing direction — from the stern toward the bow. >> — calm bright sea, glittering sun path, hazy horizon. Controls water and sky atmosphere only. >> — weathered pirate crewmen (bandanas, rough shirts, vests). 100% match the reference; TWO of them appear early in the shot, fleeing — one leaps overboard. LOCATION MAP The deck of >> aboard >> on >> — the raised stern deck (wheel, binnacle, balustrade) at the BACK, the staircase down, the long main deck with cannons, gratings and the mainmast running FORWARD to the distant BOW, exactly as on the reference — the main deck now a wrecked corridor of splintered planks, fallen spars, torn rigging and small fires. The camera sits at the forward edge of the raised stern deck, just past the wheel, LOOKING FORWARD along the whole deck toward the bow — the reference's own vantage; the wheel and binnacle may edge the near foreground. The bow rail and bowsprit are the destination, background-center, open sea beyond them. Sea and smoke beyond the broken side rails; seawater from near-miss columns rains down over the deck in the opening. FIRST FRAME / BLOCKING First frame: deck level, MS, camera facing down the wrecked deck toward the BOW in the background-center — the view of >>: from the stern-deck edge the long main deck runs away to the bow and bowsprit against open sea and sky, cannons along both rails, the mainmast mid-depth, smoke streaming across the frame, small fires burning left and right, seawater spray falling across the deck like rain, the deck listing, loose gear sliding; the wheel and binnacle just behind/beside the camera, edging the near foreground. Eduardo is NOT in the first frame; within the first half second he comes off that second level behind the camera — his body sweeping in OVER the lens from above and behind, boots crossing the top of the frame, flying FORWARD and DOWN one deck-height into the depth of the shot toward the bow. FORMAT MODE One continuous shot — the camera does not cut on its own. The shot ENDS inside the dust whiteout; there is NO location change and NO reveal after it. PHASE 1 — the landing and the gauntlet: >> comes FLYING IN from ABOVE AND BEHIND the camera — blown off the stern deck by a blast, his body sweeping in over the lens and arcing DOWN-AND-FORWARD one full deck-height onto the main deck below, arms out in front of him, back to camera — falling THROUGH a curtain of seawater raining down from a collapsed near-miss column; he SLAMS onto the wet MAIN-deck planks in the depth of the frame and rolls through a hard tumbling somersault AWAY from the lens, toward the bow, water bursting off him and the boards, scattering debris, coming up to a crouch facing the bow, soaked and shaken. TWO crewmen of >> bolt past him in panic — one sprints aft past the camera, the other vaults the side rail and LEAPS OVERBOARD, legs kicking. Eduardo starts working down the deck toward the bow, camera following behind. An incoming round EXPLODES on his LEFT — a burst of flame, planks and spray — he flinches away to the right and is knocked off his feet onto the deck. He struggles up, heavy and unsteady, one hand pushing off a fallen spar — and a second round EXPLODES on his RIGHT — he ducks hard, shielding his head behind a broken mast stump, debris raining over him. PHASE 2 — the sprint, the frontal jump, the blast, the dust: he shoves off and breaks into a desperate sprint at 12 km/h for the bow — and as he runs, the camera SWEEPS AROUND him in one continuous arc, ending positioned OFF THE BOW, out over the open water, FACING BACK at the ship: now Eduardo sprints STRAIGHT AT THE CAMERA, the burning ship towering behind him. He plants one boot on the bow rail and LEAPS OVERBOARD TOWARD THE CAMERA — body launching up and out over the water, frontal, face and reaching arms filling the frame — and THE INSTANT he clears the rail, mid-air, the ENTIRE SHIP EXPLODES behind him in full view: a colossal white flash silhouetting his flying body for two frames, the whole vessel going up in one blast — and the expanding wall of flame-lit smoke and debris CATCHES HIM IN THE AIR from behind, swallowing his silhouette whole before he can fall clear — he VANISHES inside the explosion, never escaping it — and the cloud overtakes the lens, the dust filling 100% of the frame. The dust churns, a deep orange glow pulsing inside it and fading. HOLD inside the full dust to the last frame — the generation ENDS here, inside the dust. He never reaches the water; the blast takes him mid-air. OPTICS 47° neutral through the landing, the gauntlet and the jump. No drift. Focus rides Eduardo throughout; in the final dust the frame is pure particulate with no fixed plane. CAMERA Handheld chase behind him for the entire shot, deck level, always looking TOWARD THE BOW — footstep energy visible, jolted by each explosion; in phase 2 it accelerates after his sprint, then arcs around him in one unbroken move and settles off the bow over the water, FRONTAL to Eduardo — he runs and leaps straight into the lens with the ship in the background of his jump. The final blast is the WHOLE SHIP exploding behind his airborne body — a colossal flash, then the wall of smoke bursting forward, swallowing him mid-air and then the lens — the camera stays buried, holding inside the churning dust until the end. ACTION Strict order of events: flying entry from above through falling seawater → hard landing roll (somersault over one shoulder, forward momentum carrying the roll toward the bow, ending in a crouch) → two crewmen flee past, one over the side → left explosion → dodge right → knocked down → a hard, clumsy struggle back to his feet → right explosion → duck and shield behind the mast stump → shove off → full sprint to the bow, camera arcing around to meet him head-on → one boot on the rail → LEAP overboard straight toward the camera → THE INSTANT he clears the rail, the ENTIRE SHIP EXPLODES behind him → the blast wall catches him MID-AIR and swallows him whole → the cloud overtakes the camera → dust to 100% → hold in the dust → END. He never escapes and never reaches the water. Each explosion visibly moves his body: the first throws him down, the second folds him behind cover. PERFORMANCE During the gauntlet: jaw clenched, eyes fixed forward, water streaming off his face after the landing. The fleeing crewmen are pure panic — arms pumping, one glance back, the vault over the rail desperate. In the final sprint: full commitment, arms reaching for the rail, eyes wide — in the jump: full commitment, arms reaching at the lens, eyes wide — and mid-air the world behind him turns white: his flying silhouette swallowed by the blast, reaching hands the last thing visible. PHYSICS The flying entry has true ballistic momentum: he arrives on an arc from above, and the landing roll absorbs it — impact compresses the body, the somersault carries the leftover energy, no weightless float. Falling seawater has real weight — it rains in heavy drops and sheets, splashing off planks, soaking cloth so it clings and darkens. The listing deck tilts his movement; debris has weight and stops his foot when hit. The two deck explosions throw real shockwaves — planks lift, flame flashes then roll into smoke, and Eduardo's falls carry true body weight, hard contact with the deck, no bounce. The overboard crewman drops with real gravity. The final whole-ship explosion obeys mass: the shockwave arrives first — cloth and hair snap flat, the deck bucks under his planted boot — then the fireball's light, then the wall of smoke and debris, heavy pieces falling short, fine dust travelling farthest and swallowing the frame. Dust churns with internal motion, dense, filling every corner of the frame. LIGHTING High sea daylight 5600K, hardened by fire-glow accents from the deck fires and smoke shadow sweeping the deck; falling water catches the sun as bright streaks; each of the two explosions throws a brief warm flash from its side of the frame. The final whole-ship blast: two frames of white-hot overexposure flooding from behind, then deep fire-orange glow inside the rolling dust, fading toward neutral grey-brown as the frame holds and ends. AUDIO Phase 1: a whistling whoosh as he drops in, heavy water raining on planks, a THUD and clatter of the landing roll, grunt, ragged breath; panicked boots of the fleeing crewmen, a yell and a distant splash as one goes over the side; then BOOM left, ringing ears, his grunt as he hits the deck; scrabbling boots; BOOM right, debris pattering down over him. Phase 2: sprinting boots hammering the deck, the wooden knock of his boot on the bow rail, half a beat of pure wind as he hangs in the air — then ONE colossal BOOM as the whole ship goes up behind him, the deepest sound of the film, cracking timber and folding masts inside the roar, everything collapsing into a muffled ring, sound buried with the picture — the ring and the churn of dust holding to the last frame. No music. STYLE Photoreal live-action, fine film grain, real pyrotechnic and particulate language, one unbroken take, 8K master. POSITIVE LOCKS One continuous shot; the camera stays at deck level, behind Eduardo, always looking TOWARD THE BOW. The shot OPENS with Eduardo NOT in frame; he flies in from ABOVE AND BEHIND the camera, over the lens, on a forward arc toward the bow, through falling seawater, and lands in a tumbling roll ahead of the camera — he does not walk into frame and never appears standing before the landing. Exactly TWO fleeing crewmen: one runs aft, one leaps overboard — they appear only in the opening beat. The deck explosions land in strict order after his landing: first LEFT of him (he dodges and falls), then RIGHT of him (he ducks behind cover), then the final blast — the ENTIRE SHIP exploding the INSTANT he clears the bow rail — three explosions total, no more. The jump is FRONTAL: the camera faces Eduardo from off the bow, he leaps toward the lens with the exploding ship behind him in frame. HE NEVER ESCAPES: the blast wall catches him MID-AIR and he vanishes inside the explosion before he can fall clear — no water contact, no landing, no survival beat; the dust swallows him and then the lens. The deck matches >> throughout the run — the shot holds the reference's vantage: from the stern deck forward to the bow, wheel and binnacle at the near edge of frame, never ahead of him; sails, masts and hull match >>. The dust reaches 100% frame coverage and the shot ENDS inside the dust: the frame stays fully dust-filled to the last frame, no clearing, no new location, no reveal. Eduardo's head: mustard-yellow bandana with the small white shark tooth at the front, hair loose." Made with Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield AI. Full open-sourced prompts & assets below 👇show more
