The concept of creating an exact digital replica of... the physical world has always fascinated me: environments that look and behave exactly like our everyday reality, precisely captured in the digital domain. This is the essence of 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬, simulated realities indistinguishable from our own. Generating these models is the core mission behind what we are building at SpAItial AI. True World Models must capture both photorealistic appearance and underlying physics, spatially-consistent across the environment. For static scenes, current models already deliver impressive results, unlocking downstream applications from gaming to 3D design. However, the true frontier lies in modeling dynamics, which will enable the training of AI agents whose learned behaviors can bridge the sim-to-real gap, thus unlocking countless real-world applications.show more

Pakistani nationals can give you a tax free clearance... certificate from SARS even if you are owing millions.This is how deep they penetrated into every thing in South Africa. But for me this tax clearance certificate is it, we finished as a country. Illegal foreigners rule. SA citizens suffering and overtaxed. The “hawala” system is also very rife. What is “hawala” Hawala is a trust-based informal money transfer system that operates outside the traditional banking system, using a network of brokers to move funds without physically transferring cash. Money is handed to a local broker, who contacts a broker in the recipient's location, and that second broker pays the recipient directly. This method bypasses official financial channels, providing a fast, reliable, and affordable way to send money, especially where banks are unavailable or too expensive. It’s used mostly for money laundering and terror financing. This is how your R180 BILLION spaza shops money moves out the country , tax free. This how your Hardware stores worth R150 MILLION controlled by Pakistani nationals leave the country, VAT FREE. Attached video, just change UK to South Africa. Also authorities now the kingpins in SA, but nothing is done.show more

One of the best things I’ve done as a... father is bring home Persa. This cat is literally a rag doll and hangs out all day with my daughter. I’m talking all day, in her arms. She’s also what seems to be a dwarf. What a special little thing. A gift from God, after our dog passed, followed by my MIL. Watching the smile on my daughter’s face truly brings me joy. Not all cats are like this, are they?show more

Building on the previous paper, in this study we... compare a continuous “smooth return” S2>S1 model with an event-driven one, where long periods of relative calm are punctuated by short, intense episodes of global reorganisation. Both models cover the same time window. Neither uses archaeological data in its construction. When compared against where early humans and early civilizations actually appear and persist, the difference is statistically robust. The smooth model behaves like background noise. The event-driven model lines up in time and space far better than chance allows, even after aggressive temporal and spatial randomization tests. Statistically, the event-driven model lines up with where and when early civilizations appear far better than a smooth, continuous model, even after we randomize both timing and location to test what could arise by chance. The event timeline itself was built independently from well-known late-glacial disruptions - such as Heinrich events, meltwater pulses, and abrupt deglacial transitions - rather than from any archaeological data. Nothing here claims that specific events caused specific cultures. It does suggest that history may not unfold on a smooth clock. Human societies seem to flourish during recovery phases between disruptions, not during the disruptions themselves. The animation contrasts the two return models.

Not every hero wears a cape. Some just share... their bread. Created with Seedance 2.0 + GPT Image 2 on OpenArt Prompt: TITLE The Piece of Bread REFERENCE Use the provided combined character sheet and storyboard board as the main visual reference. Follow the same woman design, stray cat design, bread, sidewalk, low wall, cloth shoulder bag, water bottle, warm sunset lighting, and emotional story beats. Keep the woman and cat visually consistent in every shot. Do not add extra characters. Do not change the core story. SUBJECTS Woman: A young woman in her early 20s with shoulder-length slightly messy dark brown hair loosely tied back, a soft oval face, gentle expressive anime eyes, and a tired but kind expression. She wears a faded oversized hoodie, loose trousers, worn sneakers, and carries a simple cloth shoulder bag. She appears hungry, humble, compassionate, and resilient. Her acting should remain subtle, natural, and emotional. Cat: A small original stray cat with short charcoal-gray fur, a cream-colored chest and paws, one ear with a tiny notch, a long curved tail, and expressive anime-style eyes. The cat feels timid, hungry, hopeful, innocent, and lovable. It begins cautious and hungry, then gradually becomes trusting and comforted. Bread: One small round bread bun. This is the central story object. The woman breaks it into two pieces and shares one half with the cat. ENVIRONMENT Quiet city sidewalk at sunset. Low concrete wall behind them. Soft blurred road and distant buildings in the background. A simple cloth shoulder bag and a small water bottle placed beside the woman. Warm golden-hour light with long shadows. Peaceful, lonely, emotional atmosphere. STYLE 2D Japanese anime short film with a hand-drawn aesthetic. Clean inked outlines, flat-to-soft cel shading, simplified shadow blocks, no CG or 3D rendering. Soft emotional storytelling. Warm golden-hour lighting with painterly anime backgrounds. Expressive anime eyes with subtle, believable facial acting. Gentle cinematic movement with a traditional anime animation feel. No 3D render. No CGI. No Pixar-style shading. No photorealism. No comedy. No chaos. No copyrighted characters. No text. No subtitles. No logos. No social media UI. No background music—only natural ambient sound effects. CAMERA 16:9 cinematic framing. Use close-ups and medium shots to emphasize emotion. End with one wide cinematic shot. Slow push-ins and gentle cuts. Shallow depth of field. Keep both characters clear and expressive. Avoid fast movement or exaggerated actions. TIMELINE 0:00–0:02 Extreme close-up. The woman slowly lifts a small bread bun toward her mouth. She is about to take a bite. Warm sunset light softly illuminates her face and hands. Her expression shows hunger, exhaustion, and quiet resilience. She pauses just before eating. SFX: quiet street ambience, soft breathing, gentle hand movement. --- 0:02–0:04 Medium shot from the woman's side. A small stray cat sits a few feet away on the sidewalk. The cat gazes at the bread with sad, hopeful eyes. It remains still, timid, and cautious. The woman notices the cat and slowly lowers the bread. SFX: soft cat meow, light breeze, distant city ambience. --- 0:04–0:06 Close-up of the woman's hands. She slowly breaks the bread into two pieces. Tiny crumbs fall gently. The moment feels like an important emotional decision. Her hands pause briefly after splitting the bread. SFX: soft bread tearing, tiny crumbs falling. --- 0:06–0:08 Medium side shot. The woman gently extends one half of the bread toward the cat. The cat looks at the bread, then into the woman's eyes. It is nervous but curious. The woman gives a soft, reassuring smile and keeps her hand perfectly still. SFX: gentle hand movement, cat sniffing, quiet breeze. --- 0:08–0:10 Low close shot near the cat. The cat slowly steps forward. It carefully takes the bread from the woman's hand. The woman remains calm and gentle. The cat begins eating, and its expression gradually softens into trust. SFX: tiny paw steps, soft bite, gentle chewing. --- 0:10–0:12 Medium shot. The woman sits comfortably on the sidewalk. The cat comes closer and sits beside her. She gently strokes the cat's head. The cat leans into her hand and relaxes. The moment feels warm, peaceful, and safe. SFX: soft fur brushing, content cat purring, distant street ambience. --- 0:12–0:14 Close emotional shot. The cat rests its head on the woman's lap. She looks down with a warm, slightly bittersweet smile. She still holds her own half of the bread in her other hand. Both appear comforted, no longer feeling completely alone. SFX: quiet breathing, soft breeze, distant city sounds. --- 0:14–0:15 Wide sunset shot from behind. The woman and the cat sit side by side facing the glowing sunset. Their long shadows stretch across the sidewalk. The cloth shoulder bag and water bottle rest nearby. The final frame feels peaceful, hopeful, and heartwarming. SFX: soft wind, distant street ambience, gentle satisfied cat purr.

“Um, excuse me. I’m trying to cry here.” I... just love this little one, whose efforts to convey her need for attention are rudely - and repeatedly - interrupted by the family dog. Babies cry for many different reasons - some more performative than others. Watch how our hero begins her vocalization repeatedly, each time putting her plans on hold until the floor - and mom’s undivided attention - are hers. It’s worth noting here that attention seeking is a perfectly legitimate reason for a cry at this age. Crying is an important tool for pre verbal children - and shouldn’t be ignored just because it seems premeditated. There’s something your little one is attempting to tell you - so don’t skimp on attention just because it’s being requested. In fact, just the opposite. —— This sweet little one was shared to TT by daynaalynn, who handled the whole situation both attentively and with good humor.show more

Good question. A lot of side hustles are hard... to break into, but one I “kinda” did when I bought my CAT equipment was driveway grading, ditching, etc. You really only need a CAT 304 or small skid steer (259). I bought my machines to clear my own lots but figured I’d see if I could get a few “side jobs” to offset the cost of the machines. Posted a few comments in some Smoky Mtn groups I’m in on Facebook that my guys and I can do “Driveway grading, smoothing out, ditch cleanouts, gravel spreading, lot prep, etc”. I COULD NOT KEEP UP with the amount of people wanting the work done. It had me and 2 of my employees constantly running around giving estimates, grading this, clearing that. To the point it was taking me away from my new build construction sites too much. I did probably $100,000 in work in a 3 month period. I finally had to just stop doing it because my main goal was building cabins and it was taking my focus away from that. But, a person can quickly learn how to operate a mini-excavator (304) or small skid steer and by throwing a few ads on FB marketplace you can probably gauge the interest. Again, there are many side hustles out there if you’re willing to work, this was just one that kind of fell in my lap because I bought some CAT equipment. I’d pull in $10,000+ for a 2 day job usually. One job we pulled in $28,000 to clear the land, spread gravel and put in a stormwater drain. Took about 8 days and just needed my 304 and 299 there.show more

Thank you Centre Pompidou Centre Pompidou, everyone who made... Nature Manifesto happen, and all the people that took it in. We were happy to see the conversations that the use of AI in Nature Manifesto sparked !! Below is a message from Björk: ~~~ “ the flood of all things from AI is overwhelming !! i am super grateful for your concerns about it´s effects on the environment , it shows you care , are curious and have integrity . i am curious too , i would like to be more informed about the difference of "frugal" AI and the ones that do hugeenvironmental damage and want to be able to choose . i asked around and found out that both the visuals and the audio in our pompidou project were done with "frugal" AI . but i have a lot to learn . when we used some of the AI softwares to merge the animals voices to mine , some of the sounds were great but to be honest , the best blends of their voices and a human were done "manually" , me editing the sounds , choosing piece by piece , looking for personality , musicality and soul . with new technology , i try to use it as a tool to grow , not a crutch . for example when i used melodyne , i used it not for lazy voice progressions but spent even more time when using it . every note in every chord became intentionally more complex . ( for example choir in "thunderbolt" ) and hopefully stretched the potential more out , further than i would have in "normal analog" physical improvisations ... i felt with this new tool i could reach new places in my musical DNA , become MORE personal . more myself . in my opinion , this is how we will work in the future . humans can read emotions on an incredibly high scale . nature made us that way . if there is no soul in tomorrow's music made by AI it is because no-one put it there and we have to speak out and guard this as listeners . ( tbh there is a lot of soulless muzak on spotify already ... they don’t need any AI help for that ...) anything that is mass manufactured without the attention of creativity , is that way . AI or not so it is not about the tool it is what you do with it . " ~~~ The visuals for Nature Manifesto were crafted by the talented Sam Balfus, artificial intelligence being one of the multiple tools used in the process. The sound was produced in collaboration with artist Robin Meier and IRCAM IRCAM. IRCAM develops “frugal AI” capable of generating audio in real-time on local servers without a GPU, thus their models can f.ex. be embedded on tiny Raspberry Pi cards.

HIGGSFIELD + FABLE 5 BUILT A FULL CLIENT WEBSITE.... MY PART WAS 35 MINUTES. the old studio needed a designer, a dev, and someone for media. every hire ate the margin. now you personally touch exactly two stages - the models handle the heavy middle: → INTAKE (you · ~15 min) turn the client request into a tight spec: pages, brand, edge cases. judgment work - the part actually worth paying for. → DESIGN (Fable 5) brief in → design system out: layouts, components, responsive states. the week-in-Figma part, gone. → BUILD + MEDIA (in parallel) Claude Code writes the site - components, CSS, animations, CMS, deploy. Higgsfield MCP generates every visual - hero video, product shots, motion - from prompts, in the same chat. → QA + HANDOFF (you · ~20 min) review against the spec, deploy, notify. templated after your first few clients. two human stages, both fast. the slow, labor-heavy middle is the one you removed yourself from. you went from laborer to orchestrator. CONNECT HIGGSFIELD (MCP): add it as a custom connector in Claude Code: - mcp_servers: - higgsfield: - url: " one OAuth flow. Claude generates and pulls clips directly - no exporting by hand. THE MATH: → what you sell: a productized site + a monthly retainer → what it costs you to deliver: ~$750/month across every client → the margin isn't clever pricing - the cost of delivery fell through the floor while the value stayed the same. you pocket the spread. one operator, three tools, the whole studio.

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1.⁠ Hamas has reportedly informed... Israeli officials that it currently holds 20 living hostages and is prepared to begin their release today under the terms of the new ceasefire agreement brokered by Trump. 2.⁠ Aid convoys entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing, with queues of lorries moving into the territory. Under the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, "full aid" is expected to scale up immediately. Israel’s COGAT says 500 trucks have entered Gaza so far, with 300 distributed by the UN and aid groups. 3.⁠ Israeli Defense Minister Katz said he’s instructed the IDF to prepare for the total demolition of Hamas’s tunnel network in Gaza. He calls it Israel’s “major challenge” post-hostage phase, to be done both militarily and via an international mechanism led by the U.S. 4.⁠ A Taliban government spokesperson said fighting with Pakistan has stopped following mediation efforts requested by Qatar. It comes after a night of heavy cross-border warfare that saw the Taliban claim 58 Pakistani soldiers were killed, 30 wounded, and 3 border posts captured. 5.⁠ The U.S has been quietly helping Ukraine hit deep inside Russia, targeting oil refineries and energy infrastructure in a covert campaign to cripple Putin’s war economy. U.S intel guided Ukraine’s long-range drone strikes, enabling hits on at least 16 of Russia’s 38 refineries, disrupting over 1 million barrels/day of capacity. 6.⁠ Trump’s visit to Israel tomorrow will be the briefest trip by a U.S president to Israel in history, with Trump staying just 3 hours and 40 minutes. He won’t meet freed hostages - medical concerns cited - and won’t visit the Western Wall, departing in the afternoon for a Gaza summit in Egypt. 7.⁠ Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina said an “illegal and forceful attempt to seize power” is underway, as soldiers refused orders to shoot protesters and joined a youth-led uprising in Antananarivo. 8.⁠ Torrential rains have triggered catastrophic flooding across 5 Mexican states, claiming at least 42 lives. Veracruz, Puebla, Hidalgo, Queretaro, and San Luis Potosi have suffered massive destruction, with entire communities cut off and thousands without power. 9.⁠ Venezuela’s leader Nicolás Maduro kicked off a bunch of military drills in 8 states, claiming it’s all about “defending the homeland,” as the U.S. Navy flexes off the coast and fears of an imminent invasion heighten. 10.⁠ A helicopter crashed in Huntington Beac, California, near the Cars ‘n Copters on the Coast event site. Officials say 2 people were inside the aircraft and 3 bystanders were also hurt when it went down by the Waterfront Beach Resort.show more

For those who don’t like Blockie, I’ve got one... for you that might change your mind: At the 2023 PGA where his life exploded, I followed him for ESPN in the final round (the one where he made the hole-in-one) and had the chance to speak to him on Sunday prior to the round when he was paired with Rory. Both he and his lovely wife Val gave me almost 20 minutes of their time and were so open and honest and offfered so many amazing stories I used on the air. No other person who was in his position with everything on the line would’ve done that. Nobody. I have also had him (and his son Dylan) on my podcast for Silver Club Golfing Society soon after that PGA and I didn’t have to jump through any hoops with his agent or anything. I even played a practice round with him at the ‘25 PGA Professional Championship and he couldn’t have been nicer. We all want athletes to speak their mind and let us in, and when they open up and say what’s on their mind they get ripped by social media. I don’t see the reason for the haters. My experience last have been nothing but 100% positive. Blockie is a star in my book.show more

i wanted to tell you how we made the... visuals for nerve-bloom i did it with Natalia Kleszczewska and Natalie Liu . Natalia Kleszczewska is a painter , she painted the creatures and the backgrounds . Natalie Liu is a computer graphics director , she shaped the digital dimension of the work . my role in it was a creative director , bringing in the singer-songwriter tradition , where emotionally precise things happen inside the structure of a song . i guided colour pallettes , textures and the environments the music happens in . to make this possible , during the process , natalia often had to paint many shapes and sizes , different textures and layers of colours . natalie then developed the visuals, designing and overseeing CGI elements , and finding ways for the digital to sit organically alongside Natalia’s world . and include my dramaturgy and creative direction. we spent 7 months talking and working together , dedicated to relish in the craft of blending hand-made visuals with digital experimentation , 3D design and commit it to physical display technology . a lot of time was spent on researching different tools and techniques to find what worked best at each stage in the song . like i’ve done before , i wanted to merge old things with tech , giving it soul & a meaning . to paint a painting is an analog craft but computer programming is craftmanship too !! and both can co-exist , .....encouraging each other to bloom even further towards a mutual world . there is a tradition in pop music for the mucisian to choose a video director . in the art world , this is called “curation” , but where we came from , it was natural that the musician would have strong opinions on what your song needed , which mood , colours , textures & storyline . today this is called “creative director” and it is something we didn’t credit ourselves with in the 90s , but i am starting to understand this better now . i don´t think of me as a visual artist . because my heart is music . everything i do comes from a sonic point of view . this is something i have called “sonic symbolism” , sound made visual , a reverse synesthesia . when you listen to a song for the first time , it is like swallowing a whale , you need to feel the whole musical sculpture in one go . the structure of a song has always been extremely important to me : what shape it is . this is part of the craft of being a singer-songwriter ........... we are tune sculpturors ....... since i am talking about the visuals for nerve bloom it is impossible to not mention the avatars in my music videos . they have replaced the storyteller with anattempt to connect to the more universal element of music , through animation, avatars , puppetry both digital and analog . for me they are marionettes in a puppet-theatre , hopefully in a similar realm as the jungian archetypes ( which we all can act out the characteristics of ...) .... i feel nerve-bloom is a natural continuation .... an animated avatar archetype singing you a song ––––– Avatars, animation and archetypes: Nerve Bloom (remix) – on display at Listasafn Íslands / National Gallery of Iceland until September 20th 2026.

📌Messages tabled by Senona: “Hi General, I trust you... are well. You made arrangements that I meet this guy (Cat Matlala), because he’s your friend and brother, and he needed my help to speak to General Nkuwa to place orders on his contract. He volunteered information about the house address where Sibiya collects money using a state vehicle, and that he paid R2 million towards Sibiya for the purchase of his plot. He also told me about the townhouse, the fact that he is the one who introduced our meeting at the Ad Hoc Committee, and that he lied under oath. He invited me to make public the information that he gave me, which will put his life at risk. I am still going to that committee, and I hope he doesn’t mind me exposing him to both the General and Mr XXX (this name was reducted and the commission heard that the person named is very dangerous). I hope you won’t blame me for risking his life, because I have to tell the truth about our meeting. If he thinks he can fool the committee, it’s okay, but I will not say much, other than to simply play a recording of our meeting, because I have the record. What is worse is that after you told me about the discussion between you and him regarding Nkuwa, I asked you about your relationship with him. I still don’t know how the two of you met to discuss Nangi’s case. Besides voice recordings, cellular phone triangulation, my vehicle tracker, including access footage, will confirm the date and time of our meeting. And for his own sake, I hope that those timelines are in line with what he said before the committee in relation to his arrest. This man says he met you seven years ago, which contradicts what you told me, that you grew up together. I guess this will become clear as the investigation continues.” 🎯Verdict: No threats here, said #MadlangaCommissionshow more
