X and LinkedIn feeds feel like a washing machine 🏄‍♂️, where people are spiraling around about the same things and success stories While seeing AI startups' decks on visual Generative AI makes me feel all the storm they are navigating, trying to see smth through the rain… None of them knows what will be “the next thing,” so they put everything in their 2026 plan: digital twins, AI influencers (speaking models), agents, while the main secret is to niche into something specific and be good at it I’m wondering about really good examples of startups built upon the generative models with stable consistent ARR growth (apart from Higgsfield AI)

How entering X feels like:

@ponzi_maxi is sharing the benefits (treasures!!) of showing up at the events earlier @hypurr_co 🐱❤️‍🔥 I wonder what the secret hypur was?

The story of AI that makes us “no longer needed at our jobs”. “Intelligent decision, judgment, taste” – it’s already here. I bet not every human has it. Conclusion: build now to secure your spot in the future (as you may not have one) The last two AI questions left are the adoption speed and regulations

Seedance 2.0 beta-testers posted very nice videos! 👏🏻 My first thought: I don’t eat at McDonald's. But it’s a good business model; it serves its purpose, it’s definitely makes sense… but I still search for nice places via the Michelin app (highly recommend!). My second thought: what will the shovels for this gold rush be, and how can we create them? My third thought: vertical-format drama series market… Billions of dollars, billions of viewers, but it takes to have NO moral to deal with that. Before selling the shovels, I have to sell my morals first..

Consensus Hong Kong Sentiment: investors are getting their portfolios squished with a significant valuation drop and long vesting-cliffs, so they’re looking for really worthy projects to invest in (not an easy take) New Projects: getting through tough times and despair, offering discounts = lowering valuations (also a hard find) Marketʼs take: no more copycats, only the best will survive; the KPI’s switch from community-driving to revenue-based How it feels: opportunities search during bearish despair sentiment became a real hunt. The most interesting happens in the intersection of tech and crypto

@Lucid_Link Do you have any events for creative communities in Paris? 👀

Hey, London Creative Community 👋 Join us tomorrow to connect with fellow #creative minds 🎉 🍸 bit.ly/47QKMUf #networking #networkingevent #LondonCreatives #CreativeCommunity #creatives

Before I started my full-time MBA, I was busy all the time, but I had the luxury of choosing what and when to do (including location, time of flights, extra activities). Now, combining education with work, I sacrificed my freedom of choice until June 😌🔫

I’m not talking about politics, but still monitoring the sources that gained my trust, and what I feel is a deep, deep sorrow before 2024 and $115 bln … economist.com/graphic-detail…

Universe-getting-us-client one-letter mistake: when "Carl Green" wrote me: "you're too expensive", "Carly Green" was super passionate and excited about her project & the opportunity to work together (me too). I feel blessed to be a female leader who works with female leaders.

Hard to take this statement at face value -- given all the tweets @paddycosgrave has been liking over the last few days. I saved several of them on the attached google doc (so we have a record when the @WebSummit PR team asks him to delete them). docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Reminder for me for any future event or offline presence occasion: make everything, including promo, beforehand 🥲🫠

Kharkiv's residential area on a Konstytytsii Square have been subject to active bombing by russia since the first day of the full-scale invasion and until now. 📸 @mpalinchak #UkraineRussiaWar #StandWithUkraine #Kharkiv #Харків

My team is making content for the best 🇺🇦 holidays this week! If you think it’s easy, I would say it took us 50-60 hours. I'm not surprised why other studios do not make such type of non-commercial content :)

You: decided to stay all summer in Paris Summer in Paris: ⚡️☔️🌪️🌩️⛈️🌧️

AI video is getting insanely good! Here's 1/3 of a music video for Baddadan by Chase & Status made in 3 hours using MidJourney and Gen-2 🤪

Story #1: one month ago, we agreed with the client’s manager to create two animations for X cost (NET30 contract) 30 days later, the manager: “We made a mistake; our budget is X/2 of what we agreed on” Me reading this message at 8 PM: 🤡🥲

Enough portfolio items. It’s time for real “tough-female-founder” stories. I try to treat them as “fun,” while they are not fun at all 🥲

Our first successful interaction with motion design media. I'm so proud of my team!

@marginai__ найголовніше — це якість роботи та комунікація. якщо представникам студії не зручно в спілкуванні, артист поводить себе зверхньо, ніби він є центром Всесвіту і ми тут тільки заради нього (таке, на жаль, часто), ми перестаємо співпрацювати

@uniheeysof Якось непонятно написано

Давала пораду сестрі, яка хотіла піти у графдизайн Ділюся Вам треба постійно шукати собі роботу, проєкти. Це складно. І якщо ви не така людина що легко комунікує- вам буде дуже складно І це не просто розмови з клієнтом. Це переговори, намагання зрозуміти що він справді хоче
