A peak life advice from Alex Hormozi: “The fastest way to become the person you want to be is to put yourself in a situation where you have no choice but to become them.”

Looks good. Story is universal soldier, walking dead style. Not so original. Nothing special compared to other AI tests. But I expect interesting stories in the future.

Overall, pretty good! Scene at 5:24 is really bad. Character consistency is not perfect. Chopper explodes like nuke when it falls and soldiers are damaged just a bit. Character performance has those little gestures, but it still feels artificial. Traditional feels like 3D animated movie and that's how you see it. AI is like B movie with bad actors.

NIGHTBORNE is the first full test AI film I have made. It was made using Seedance 2.0. I've been experimenting with AI for a couple of years, and it's now at the point where I want to tackle a full feature in this format. This is a 13-minute test start. It was made with real concept artists, and features the faces and voices of 32 real people. Barley Studios will be my new AI studio for creating my own films, the way Oats Studios was for traditional film and VFX. @Barleystudiosai Full film in the reply.

I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.

He querido explorar otro flujo procedural híbrido entre Houdini y ComfyUI para resolver un escenario complejo de aguas a gran escala con muchos elementos. Algo que ya sabemos que en VFX es de las tareas más costosas de realizar. En Houdini tengo todo el control de la escena, cámara, océano y animación, tipo de barco y cuantos barcos, así como una representación de lo que sería el whitewater al rededor de cada uno de ellos sumado a una animación procedural marcando su movimiento en base a las olas. Con toda esta información lo siguiente es generar el primer fotograma para usarlo como guía y después mapas de control en base a un flipbook para que guíen el resto de la generación. Por daros cifras, el render de 201 fotogramas en la 5090 ha tardado 70 segundos con otro workflow procedural en ComfyUI utilizando LTX 2.3 🙃 . Por supuesto podría apretar más u optar por otros modelos más potentes. Pero realmente lo interesante para mi, es que esto ahora es una referencia genial de look para terminar de pulir en base a todo lo que yo he marcado desde el mismo inicio. En resumen, esto es utilizar lo mejor del mundo procedural de un programa como Houdini y apoyarte de flujos de trabajo en ComfyUI para realizar el famoso IA Rendering e interaccionar a una velocidad que hasta hace nada era simplemente imposible. Sin resultados aleatorios, todo 100% controlado desde el inicio.

@hectorVFX Very very interesting.

@mattworkman Financial desperation of Hollywood will push AI to the max, for sure. We'll see what is delivered. Those 1M roles come with expectations in bold letters. But if anyone can squeeze out that next level from AI, it's them.

RIP the anti-AI movement in Hollywood 🪦💀👻 Netflix just told shareholders that 300 of its titles used Gen AI THIS YEAR! 0:00 The truth bomb 0:17 300 titles, straight from the shareholder letter 1:10 Scorsese storyboards with AI now 2:09 Shots that wouldn't exist = new jobs 2:34 Netflix's $1M GenMedia roles 3:05 My friend just joined Netflix's AI studio 3:21 It's over. Get used to it.

@ChoochMcGee @Variety We had announcements like that 2yrs ago. Still far. But if anyone can do it, it's them. They are in financial trouble for sure. Weta operates with losses and ILM is backed by Disney. So, I think they are under pressure to deliver. Or else...

@SimovicVlada @Variety ILM and Weta's AI tools for filmmakers should fix that, they drop early next year. control is next

Roughly 300 programs across Netflix's library have used generative AI across their production process this year, the company revealed. “We are increasingly leveraging these tools to deliver higher quality output more quickly and at a lower cost than traditional methods,” the company said. “In some cases, productions would have had to leave out key shots and sequences in the absence of GenAI technology.” variety.com/2026/biz/news/…

@JSFILMZ0412 Tbf AI fans say now anyone can become a filmmaker and Hollywood is dead. This is a great example why it's delusional. Money will always rule. Democratization is a lie.

But I thought AI haters say all you need is a friend and a camera to make movies? WTF is "Marketing"?

@Andercot Or, that social media hype is affecting everyone's judgement.

This is a computer

@rspeaks @Andercot 🤣

@Andercot Don’t get too close to that thing. Your daughter will get old.

@brian_lovin I was in a meeting a year ago with such app recording. Don't remember the name. They were very satisfied with how it works.

Someone should make an app to record meetings with automatic AI transcripts. Underexplored space rn.

WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU AFRAID OF - Death : We’re all gonna die. - Bankruptcy : You can make it all back. - Shame : Everyone will forget in a week. - Rejection : It happens to everyone. - Failure : It’s part of the path. - Judgment : They’ll judge anyway. - Losing people : Not all are meant to stay. - Making mistakes : You’ll survive them. - Taking risks : Regret hurts more. Live every day like it's your last day.

- It already increasingly consisted of boarding planes other people built, without reading source. wait. The plane is not vibe designed/built, you trust that engineers throughly looked at & verified every step of the building process so you don't have to.

To achieve absolute potential of AI we need abundance of cheap electricity. Until then it's unattainable. And if it ever happens, we will not need work to survive. So, until someone comes up with almost free energy, we'll have jobs.

@BernardJansen @SahilBloom True. But I believe he was referring to not following your dreams out of fear of judgment. In truth, other than your closest people, no one cares. And that's ok. We should care about other people, not their business.

@SahilBloom @SimovicVlada If you turn this around, or slightly inwardly, you also realise how pathetically lonely this leaves us all. We should care more!

The best advice I got in my 20s: Nobody cares. Stop fearing the judgement of people who were never even thinking about you. Nobody is thinking about you. They’re too busy thinking about themselves. Go do the thing.
