There’s lots of AI film competitions and festivals out there so we decided to do something a little different. Especially given the season of knockouts, we are hosting the GenJam Directors Cup! With $35k in Prizes! A global competition, pitting the best Ai filmmakers, representing their countries, in a knock out battle to find which country has the best filmmakers around the world. The Director’s Cup will happen over the course of a month and feature international judges and competitors. Sign up now and get your friends and teammates to join! All competitors get free credits to compete.

Growing up as a Vietnamese American is realizing that half of what we consider to be our "culture" is actually PTSD from the war and it's still deep in our Gen X and Boomers.

"I don't know anything about that." Remember, people, you're just one Youtube video away from not knowing nothing about something.

Please improve the UXUI though. You're still losing on that and is therefore harder to transition my work back to where it was or keep it working in parallel. It also doesn't make sense to be anything but agnostic these days given that whoever is at the top has become a variable.

come for the best model, stay because we don’t treat you with contempt

“Babe. Wake up. A new strategy for getting your AI film notoriety just dropped. Do an AI version of an upcoming blockbuster film is the new strategy. We’re not doing AI anime of current events and World Cup anymore.”

One of my friends recently mused with me that “AI creative culture” is probably oxymoronic to some degree because AI is just bleeding into mainstream culture anyway. It will just become part of the forever noise like everything else in the memeverse. Hard to disagree with this. I think that creating AI content is an ethos, culture, and movement unto itself that is distinct from modalities prior. Prompting is a different skill set from pre-AI software and obviously tactile things like painting and photography. But it’s hard to argue against the idea that eventually we just view it as another series of tools or part of existing tools. What does that mean for AI as a cultural movement? I’m not sure.

feeling honoroed to be one of the judges for @MachineCinemaAI's GenJam Director's Cup 👏 looking forward to seeing all the submissions!

@DiscussingFilm HollandBowl? OdysseyMan? SpiderOdyssey? We need a name for this Barbenheimer-like moment.

Christopher Nolan makes a joke about ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ and ‘THE ODYSSEY’ releasing in the same month. “Just saying if you only see one Tom Holland film this Summer, The Odyssey.”

Increasingly filmmakers just need to clarify to what degree they're using AI.

Researchers built a soft floating robot for indoor interaction. It uses helium and flapping fins instead of propellers. The result is quiet, lightweight, and safe to touch. It can follow people, give reminders, and act as a study buddy. Published at ACM DIS 2026.

@Vikram__Iyer @parable_vc @jameswilsterman @MachineCinemaAI To be fair. Everything is remix ready.

@parable_vc @jameswilsterman @minhsmind @MachineCinemaAI remix-ready is crucial

We hosted Between Frames yesterday, a small, off-the-record unconference on the future of AI video. Here’s what the room (startups like @fal, @LumaLabsAI, @elevenlabs, @first_intel, @trykino, @plotpartyai, and @freepik; AI-first creators with millions of followers; researchers at @xai, @Stanford, @UCBerkeley, and Alibaba; and award-winning filmmakers) actually thinks is coming. 🧵

Anti-AI people are really quiet these days with all the fun AI World Cup viral videos. Why? Because AI is fun and people love it when it’s fun. We are no longer in a slop era. We’re in the AI fandom era. And as AI gets better and better, the videos will get more fun, more meme-worthy, and more popular. More and more famous events will get this kind of treatment and the audience will benefit from the ensuing hilarity. Or maybe it’s just the World Cup and we’ll go back to our normal lives and no one will ever mention AI again. 🤣

@marina_uiux wow, love this. what's the js for this? or is pretext?

some new design experiments of mine WIP

@nightwriter22 Tarantino’s films are great. But they’re also genre films that I can sometimes throwaway because they were a thrilling ride that didn’t change my life. Having said that…I’m going to go rewatch Django for the 20th time.

Christopher Nolan on Quentin Tarantino's 10-Film Rule: “I think it’s dangerous to look at it that specifically. I mean, Quentin has his reasons, and I respect those enormously. But I’m hoping that he won’t stay true to them. Every film that I do is the last I’ll ever make—and one day I will be right. So every time I want to put everything into the project at hand. I’m never thinking, ‘Well, I’ll save this for the next one.’ I don’t ever want to think like that. I want each movie to be everything.”

@MorbidKnowledge There’s an episode of Louis about this. USO tours are fairly standard. Lots of celebs have done them. Not to take away from how hardcore this is to do. It’s just that a lot of celebs have done this.

In 2004, at the peak of his fame off the back of Get Rich or Die Tryin', 50 Cent travelled to Iraq with his G-Unit crew to perform for American troops. He flew into Camp Anaconda, a base so volatile it was nicknamed "Mortaritaville" because of the constant bombardment. The base, also known as Logistics Support Area Anaconda near Balad, was one of the most frequently attacked US installations in the country, taking regular indirect fire from mortars and rockets. Wearing a bulletproof vest and surrounded by military personnel, he delivered an energetic concert that lifted the spirits of the soldiers By multiple accounts of the visit, an officer warned him before he went on, "You could die today," and he opened the set with "What Up Gangsta."

@BLVCKLIGHTai Amazing.

Phase One: Complete.

While watching all the games of the World Cup.…

When I’m super busy, my tweets suffer. But we have been cooking lately. > Finished v1 of our AI Creative Market Map > Finished the first cohort of our Page One AI Content Accelerator program > Did a series of film festivals and GenJams at those festivals with amazing partners from Nvidia to Dell to Walmart and more > Launched a hub for our community with a series of perks for our members. > Holding the first ever international nations tournament for AI filmmakers (GenJam Directors Cup) It’s been exhausting but exhilarating and really fulfilling. We’ve been touching more grass lately and it’s really rewarding to develop those personal relationships with amazing people around the world. More coming soon!!! We’re still day one.

One of the few times you can experience what it’s like to time travel is during the World Cup, when your internet connection is better than your online friends. “GOAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! …oh shit sorry guys. I thought you saw that already!”

AI education is also a version of AI customer service. Helping new people learn how to use AI tools is also customer service for those AI tools.
