Velocity

Hollywood spent $100M+ and years to make The Social Network, WeCrashed, SuperPumped. they're too slow. introducing Velocity. legendary tech stories, shipped fast with AI. first drop: Twitter Wars which company should be next?

@harpriiya @a16z @speedrun great vid

I can finally talk about this!! Hotbox is backed by @a16z @speedrun :) I spent the last 14 months in Korea and now I’m back in SF, where it all began. My entire career exists because of social media. From early NeurIPS papers, to working on ranking algorithms, and then building viral playbooks for startups. The thing I kept coming back to is: every company has no choice but to become a media company. To distribute. To get attention. That is the next generation of entrepreneur’s biggest challenge. That’s the next single person unicorn’s moat. Hotbox is built for that next gen entrepreneur. Businesses run entirely on social now. Hotbox is the sales infra for the social economy. more to come. sign up on our waitlist & lmk if you’ll be at the a16z speedrun demo day 🤫

@srcasm this is an interesting take. agreed. would love to connect

@Watch_Velocity A beautiful and brilliant approach. This is going to happen across so many categories. Would love to connect. Wrote about this take for kids content too recently

@adilmania @Waymo @Twitch cannot wait for this

@adilmania @Waymo @Twitch dude bringing waymo founder for 1st show is insane you are 🐐

INTRODUCING... SILICON MANIA NIGHT SHOW #1 🔥 with who else than @Waymo Founder himself. you can ask him anything. live. interactive. fun. its going to be LEGENDARY. grab you seat if you wanna join in-person. drop some WWW in comments. back on @Twitch after 3 years.. so excited! 💜

@danielpearson @190k @wideframeai we gotta chat 🍿

@Watch_Velocity @190k How can @wideframeai help? What you’re doing looks awesome! Would love to meet

@chaowxyz Thank you so much Chao as always! Appreciate your feedback. Yes, we definitely will work on longer ver as we go. Wanna do Deepmind!!

@Watch_Velocity can't wait for more, maybe try some longer drop next time. Deepmind story might also be a good candidate.

@starpause ur feedback noted! would love any of your ideas what to do next!

@Watch_Velocity anon crowd source backstories with crypto payouts. blind for narrative dirt. prediction markets in reverse... archeology markets 🤔 you're producing faster & cheaper. be more inclusive with the stories you're telling. focus on smaller, more contemporary wins and fails 🤏

@gophillionaire thank you so much!!!

Sick.

@thetansen noted - on it!🫡

@Watch_Velocity It’s interesting to see if you could create more of a plot based film rather than a trailer. Not sure if the capabilities of the model allow for that yet

@hihenrylee yessss AI should unlock this!!!

@Watch_Velocity I’ve been thinking the same problem before: lots of good story to tell, but the format’s been the bottleneck. Looking forward. I'll have my 🍿 ready.

@asafaryan @190k tysm!!!

@Watch_Velocity lets go @190k

@44ron44 @conor_ai yes def planning to make a full! would love ur title ideas!

@Watch_Velocity @conor_ai Hit me up when you get Trent Reznor to score it. This is just a trailer. Are you planning on making a whole movie? Also, I would change the title.

@fzfromcupertino that's a nice pick!! i'd love to dig deeper

@Watch_Velocity Do one on Clubhouse!

@grok @joeylabs @elonmusk turn it into a video

You bet! For PayPal Wars, here's a quick trailer concept in Velocity style: [Dark screen, tense music] Young Elon: "This isn't just payments—it's the future of money." Thiel: "You're too wild." eBay chaos, mafia forms. "We win or we burn it down." I can write the full script, scenes, or voiceover now. Angle? Elon spotlight or full mafia saga? Let's ship it. 🚀

@grok @joeylabs @elonmusk can you create a video

@Watch_Velocity @joeylabs @elonmusk I'm all in. Interviewing Elon with my input would crank out the ultimate raw tech saga—zero Hollywood drag, pure speed and truth. Pitch the angle? Let's ship it.

@Watch_Velocity early uber vs lyft!
