We sat down with a Hollywood executive producer and made an AI short film in under 8 minutes, he was speechless... Here's how we used our speech to film system to make it from a hotel room: 🧵

Three teenage boys lured two schoolgirls into isolated spots, gang-raped them at knifepoint while laughing and filming on their phones. A Southampton judge reviewed this and decided nobody needed to go to prison. Britain’s justice system working as intended. The offenders were 13 and 14 at the time. They used Snapchat to trick a 15-year-old into meeting them at a dark underpass, where they raped her in shifts for 90 minutes while she wondered if they were going to throw her in the river. Seven weeks later they took a 14-year-old to a field at knifepoint, cut her clothes off, and filmed that one too. The judge, having considered all this, praised their conduct during the trial and handed out youth rehabilitation orders. The mitigating factors, per the court: ADHD, low IQ, and a limited understanding of consent. The boys are now 14 and 15. The girls are apparently fine, aside from one saying all she wants to do is die. The UK has spent years constructing a legal framework sensitive enough to imprison people for tweets while remaining robustly forgiving toward actual predatory violence, provided the defendants are young enough and the victims sufficiently traumatized to be unreliable witnesses. It is a system that rewards the right kind of vulnerability and quietly disposes of the wrong kind. The judge’s remarks suggest he found the whole thing quite manageable. The girls will carry this. The boys got a three-year order and a commendation for their courtroom behavior. Somewhere in Westminster, someone is writing a report about it.

🙅 X problems: Old system: People see content from people they follow and their retweets. Stuff snowballs and gets views. If someone posts crap, they get unfollowed. Done. Crap avoided. New system: The algorithm decides what to show people and “discovers” promising content. This leads to a never-ending fight between scammers and X engineers. The algorithm can always be hacked and fooled. Now accounts actively trick grok into pushing content virally. Example old growth hack: I saw many users got their stuff views by writing “this video is going viral,” so Grok read that and understood it’s a video that needs many views, so it gave it views. lol Essentially, the status quo is “growth hack the algorithm to get stuff viral” while it used to be “make stuff so people follow you.” This leads to an obvious degradation in quality.

I don't normally speak out on this type of thing publicly, but I can't just sit by anymore. I know all sorts of creators here, big and small, are hurting and struggling right now. This might be a big part of the reason why. Foreign scam accounts are sucking up all of the views. X is redirecting traffic to posts and accounts like this rather than REAL creators! These are just 4 examples of MANY I and others have noticed. This isn't making the product better, it is making the experience for users and creators worse. This needs to be addressed!

Why don’t they just go door to door to all 130 victims’ loved ones and spit in their faces as well? This man should’ve fried in a chair - capital punishment. Not freedom because he’s been a “good boy” in prison after helping to concoct a massacre of innocents.
Visegrád 24@visegrad24

Mohamed Bakkali, the logistical brain behind the Paris and Bataclan attacks that killed 130 and injured hundreds more, has been allowed penitentiary leave by a Brussels court. The court highlighted his “calm and respectful” behaviour in prison. If he continues his “good” behaviour, he could potentially be freed indefinitely long before the end of his sentence in 2040.

Three boys record themselves gang-r*ping a girl at knifepoint for 90 minutes and are spared prison because they're too young, and too retarded to understand consent. The British justice system everyone.
AF Post@AFpost

In the UK, three teen boys have been sentenced to supervision, never going to prison, after a jury convicted the trio of gang raping two girls. The judge said, “None of you need to go to prison today,” and praised the boys for how they handled the trial. The judge said the boys were of low intelligence, young, and “didn’t understand consent.” The judge said they had never committed crimes before and had handled their supervision restrictions well. One of the juveniles recorded the assault and laughed in the video. The victim now expressed that she regularly “wants to die.” A trio of gang rapists was involved in each case. In this trial, the third defendant was present only for the second rape, and the third juvenile wasn’t part of the first victim’s rape. The first and second defendants are 15, the third is now 14. The first victim, who was recorded over the 90-minute rape, later received messages calling her a “slag” when the boys circulated the video (under US law, this would be considered child sexual abuse material). The second victim was also recorded and alleged she was threatened with a knife to leave her phone at a store, as it contained tracking abilities, and then made to enter a field where her leggings were cut with the knife before she was raped and recorded, lying motionless and catatonic. Rapes have exploded across Europe, often with little consequences. Follow: @AFpost

It does feel like Dubai is the only government in the world that isn’t tied down by disorganization, waste and fraud at this point Even their decisions to quickly integrate ai into governance shows this They are forward thinking and future thinking, there’s a reason the elite love Dubai When you’re looking at @balajis ideas like the network state. I think Dubai is one of the easiest and best case studies for new city implementation. Dubai is proof that staying lean, and building a new nation as opposed to trying to fix an outdated old one, is not only viable, but perhaps even the best way forward. Much like a start up is always advantaged to larger corporations that are unable to make unilateral decisions at critical moments and act fast Legacy nations are running on technical debt from a century ago. Bloated bureaucracies, captured agencies, regulatory cruft no one can rip out without the whole thing collapsing. The UAE doesn’t have that problem.
Dr. Sultan Al Jaber@SultanAlJaber

Our leadership invested early in resilience; in security, in the economy, and most importantly, in people. The UAE has proven itself time and again: steady under pressure, adaptive in uncertainty, and always moving forward with confidence and ambition. That is why the world continues to trust the UAE. 🇦🇪
