What’s the point of 4K? Honestly, most people use 4K for those hyper-detailed, slow-mo macro shots. And I get it—they work because they grab attention. But I’m interested in something else: a raw, realistic aesthetic that feels less like a digital file and more like a real film—the kind that forces you to stop and watch, rather than just scroll past. When @capcutapp invited me to try Seedance 2.0 4K, I didn't want to make just another promo ad. I wanted to see if I could push the tech into territory that feels like a real film. I set up a few stress tests to see if this 4K could handle cinematic storytelling: - Dark Environments: Low-light gradients that usually turn to digital mush at lower resolutions. - Vibrant Color: Hyper-saturated schemes that often band and block. - Macro Shots: Using those "attention-grabbing" angles, but giving them a narrative purpose rather than just using them as a gimmick. I channeled the gritty, flashing-light aesthetic of Gaspar Noé for this. (A quick warning: his films are intense—careful.) The result is "Salty." Seedance 2.0 4K handled the mood and the detail better than I expected. Whether you're making films for fun or for a living, it’s a powerful tool for bringing those wilder, cinematic ideas to life. Huge thanks to the team at CapCut for trusting me with early access to Seedance 2.0 4K. Getting to experiment within CapCut Video Studio was a true honor—I really appreciate the creative freedom they gave me for this film.

Canada should be the best place in the world to build ambitious companies. @CanadianPM, it’s time to step up and help our entrepreneurs win - not tear them down.

Embarrassing

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

The best in the game 🏎️

Verstappen qualified second in Monaco last weekend. And Sunday, his car stalled at the lights and he watched all 21 cars drive past before he'd even raced. It was the fastest car on the grid, but it also was beaten by one moment. You've all seen the photos of the harbour: every billionaire yacht in the world parked for the weekend. None of those owners were glued to a screen because their money doesn't need them to be. So we built Obside to keep racing when you step away. Deploy AI agents that watch your portfolio, price, technicals, news, macro and fundamentals, then act on the conditions you set. Alerts, paper trading or live orders once you've connected your broker. The Obside car never has more top speed than Nvidia or Bitcoin. It just moves first. Start automating your trading now on Obside.

@humfhuang Yeah, each require a different skillset.

customers don't care about your cap table many great companies got rejected by investors and won anyways

@rohankalia_ Let's grab some lunch

i’m in SF this week: if you are training/building/thinking/learning/reading something cool i would love to meet you! the opportunity to make friends with new faces is one of the most precious joys of life, so please, do reach out! :)

Most people don't think simple enough

@jmdagdelen @Clara_Gold Well said

I think the more rational founder is skeptical about the distinction between 1. what is best for the company, 2. what a VC thinks is best for the company, and 3. what a VC thinks is best for their fund. There are many examples of case 3 being the real motivation. Cases of a founder getting kicked out because they don’t want to sell but the VC wants exit their position at a favorable multiple, for example.

I’m backed by Vinod. Every founder who raises from Vinod knows the deal. Could he try to fire you from your own company if he thinks that’s what the company needs? Yes. That’s not a secret. We even joke about it. But making this entire drama about “firing founders” misses the point. The point is that Vinod will always make the call he believes is right for the company, no matter how uncomfortable it is. And there are 2 sides to that coin. If he thinks you’re in the way, he’ll move you. If he believes the company should win and you’re the person to make it win, he’ll move mountains for it. He’ll pull strings, take the hard fights, and push harder than almost any investor would. The ruthlessness that makes him dangerous is the ruthlessness that makes him exceptional. That’s the deal with him. Vinod is not founder-first, he’s company-first. And if that makes your uncomfortable, you should probably pitch someone else.

My only thesis for the next 4 years is: To win at anything, you need attention. Want sales? People need to know you. Want investors? People need to know you. Want to hire people? People need to know you. Visibility of your offer is now more important than the offer. The worst thing, known by all, will outsell the best thing known by none. And it used to be that the best thing could grow organically, build up a following. I don’t think that can exist now. All discourse is now online. All of the internet is a perfectly paid ad auction. Ads will rule the world. Even in an age of ai- It just means better, more personalized ads. Ads rule everything around me.

@rocpilon Underrated skill. Many people regarded as intelligent at one thing can have a weak general intuition. Excelling at working on discrete problems but not systems.

Intuition is god speaking through us and most business owners and entrepreneurs don’t realize they work with it daily

Most people have never built something from nothing. So they don’t understand how hard it is. They just see the end results and want some of it. We need to encourage more builders, more zero to one. Just so more people can fail and appreciate what it takes to win.
