Throwback to playing a New Years show in Taiwan ! Looking forward to doing it again! 🍁 #danielmerlot #taiwan #music #vibes

@SecWar @DavidSacks @DavidSacks anthropic stated No domestic surveillance .. I guess that’s a problem ?

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

@maverickecom Low bar spam factory

Nano Banana + Manus + Arcads + OpenClaw = ai content factory. We built a fully automated system that repurposes, localizes, and launches winning TikTok Shop content across hundreds of creator-style accounts. It’s so effective it feels like running Facebook ads in 2008. - CPMs as low as $0.10 - no reliance on paid ads - no ghost creators - no wasted samples - no lost time The $300/monthly tech stack which replaced $50k+ budget: - manus for product research and viral script ideas - cruva for recently viral content ideas from competitors - Arc Ads for images - Arc Ads for video - phone posting network for automated posting Here’s how it works: •Each AI Agent spins up a TikTok Shop–ready creator avatar and profile, built to sell my products through shoppable videos. •Agents are prompted to research the niche, scrape winning TikTok Shop videos, and rebuild them with new hooks, angles, and UGC-style visuals tailored to the brand. Content focus is on the product’s benefits, not fake customer testimonials. •They create and post daily using my tech stack onto the affiliate accounts No touchpoints. No delays. Just shoppable videos going live and GMV compounding every week. Then we use an MPS (Multi-Platform Swarm) approach: once the concept works, we deploy hundreds of AI Agents to flood the niche with variations that all drive back to the Shop and Amazon listing. I’m giving you access to the full stack — the ai workflow, ready to plug into your TikTok Shop today. Comment “Workflow” and I’ll send you everything. (must be connected) PS – Repost for early access to the full TikTok Shop content factory system.

@Spectrumofreas1 @summeryue0 It’s a marketing ploy One should never believe anything Meta

@summeryue0 Imagine being this stupid. I don't mean letting OpenClaw delete your inbox. But actually publishing it while being employed in "AI safety". It's like a cop live streaming themselves committing a crime.

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.

@EHuanglu No one is making millions on this !

@dustinhollywood Naw not a hater We are in a transition period Respect different points of view

Another hater on the scene.

@dustinhollywood 💯

By this time next year, if you call yourself an AI studio and you do not have proprietary internal software, you have no real value. Tool access is not a business. Everyone has access now, and that advantage has already collapsed to zero. On top of that, if you do not have unified, production-ready workflows, it is not even worth discussing. Fragmented tools stitched together with manual glue might work for demos, but they do not scale, they do not survive deadlines, and they absolutely do not survive client pressure or real production constraints. The reality is the gloves are off. The industry has moved out of the experimentation phase and into execution. Either you show up with systems that can actually produce under real-world conditions, or you are just playing with AI and calling it a studio. Here is a concrete example that made this painfully obvious to me. Last summer, I was working on a real commercial project for Armani/Luxottica. I needed SORA for a very specific, narrow use case. During that window, the site went down for over 24 hours, twice in a month. Errors, instability, completely unusable. It nearly caused a delivery issue on a paid project. That is unacceptable in a professional pipeline, and it was the moment I decided I would never again build a critical path around a single external generator. That experience is not unique. It is structural. Closed platforms optimize for growth, experimentation, and aggregate usage, not your delivery output. They have no incentive to guarantee uptime, consistency, or backward compatibility for your project. The name of the game is self-reliance. Supporting models is fine. Partnering is fine. But if you plan to scale, you must diversify. Once you factor in uptime risk, client data sensitivity, cost volatility, and long-term control, the logic inevitably leads toward owning your workflows and incorporating open-source models where appropriate. The more of your pipeline you own, the more trust you earn, and the more business you win. Clients do not want their data flowing through opaque third-party systems they cannot audit or control. That is not paranoia, it is procurement reality. How is that for planned obsolescence. 🤣

@dustinhollywood Runway - Kling - Midjourney - Higgsfield - Krea (has all the api’s) Google flow is overpriced

Everyone lost access to VEO so now I can be honest. Google Flow: •UI bugs block navigation (stuck banners, etc). •Scene builder often unusable or broken, doesn’t export, it’s useless. •Users denied access despite paying for AI Pro issues. •Credits consumed even when generations fail, and 2 and 3 priced the same. •Frequent unexplained video generation errors. •Workflow disrupts creative process, seen as undermining filmmakers. •Support slow or unresponsive to issues.

🇺🇸 JACK MALLERS’S TWENTY ONE IS BUILDING A #BITCOIN BANK TARGETING $500 TRILLION MARKET 🤯 THIS IS A MUST WATCH!!!

@hasantoxr It’s not instant lol Just have to wait less

BREAKING 🚨: Real-time video creation is finally here. Higgsfield just launched a tool that renders cinematic-quality content instantly. Here’s why this will blow your mind: x.com/higgsfield_ai/…

@WonderStudiosX @JeffSynthesized Haha “never intended for display” u probably used his work to raise investment though 🤣

Hey Jeff, We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We want to start by saying how deeply sorry we are for the oversight. The work in question was never intended for display without your consent and the proper credits. As soon as we realized the error, we removed it immediately. We want to emphasize that obtaining full consent for all the content featured on our website is a priority, and we have explicit approvals for every other work we're using. This error was an honest and unintended slip on our part, and we are taking steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Thank you for calling this out. Your feedback not only holds us accountable but also strengthens our commitment to the creative community. We genuinely value the contribution of every artist and strive to honor that in everything we do.

Congratulations to @weareWonderStudios (insta tag) on raising $3 million in pre-seed financing. That said, some of the work you’re presenting on your website as your own was not produced by you. I know this because it was produced by me. And we’ve never had a conversation about using my work as part of your portfolio. I’m only calling this out because it’s something we’re seeing more and more: creators’ work being used without their permission to promote ventures they’re not involved in—possibly even to help raise funds. Personally, I don’t care — but if we don’t speak up as a community of AI artists, this kind of thing will only get worse. Others will keep profiting off our sweat equity. Please don’t do it. Or at the very least, reach out and ask first. I’m sure you’re good people and I hope this was just an oversight. But it needs to stop. Please share if you agree.

@DJHeidiLawden @hotelgaruda @opiumhum Upcoming deejays saying no to a chance to play coachella . That will never ever happen 🤣

@hotelgaruda @opiumhum Honestly everyone should say no, that way Dolab will have to start paying, clearly they’re given a budget if they don’t factor the talent in as payable then talent should stay tf away

Learning that Coachella doesn't pay small artists wtf

@DJHeidiLawden @hotelgaruda @opiumhum I think the DoLab should not invite upcoming DJ’s and just have a few in house Dj’s The crowd really doesn’t care who is deejaying tbh Problem solved

@midjourney Updates ,bug fixes and new versions should be more speedy This is where AI is heading

Midnight release time. V7 now supports remix and tile features. We've upgraded the enhance feature for draft jobs. There's a new prompt bar with dedicated modal toggles. And we've added V7 image feedback buttons to V7 jobs so you can help us improve our image quality. Thanks! <3

@midjourney Awesome Quicker updates n bug fixes are essential rather than long drawn “trying to be perfect updates “

@midjourney Voice mode is amazing ! Would love to see it do more precise “edits” in the next updates

How's everyone enjoying V7 draft mode? Do you prefer it with voice or text? How about adding --draft to your prompts and combining draft and permutations {cat,dog,whale} or --repeat? Drop thoughts below!

My film is screening this Sunday in Los Angeles instagram.com/reel/DGSTWf0Ry…

Excited to produce this exhibition show in tokyo !

@PaalMind @ASI_Alliance @Fetch_ai @CUDOS_ Horrible timing . I couldn’t actually time this any worse

Our solutions will leverage @ASI_Alliance technologies, including @Fetch_ai autonomous agent framework & @CUDOS_ distributed compute capabilities. This proposal underscores a future where AGI and ASI are accessible, transparent and beneficial Community vote opens Nov 18.

@FilmUpdates Another sign the film industry is stuck in a doom loop of only investing into old IP’s… the major studios will eventually perish

Lionsgate has declined to pay for the marketing costs of ‘MEGALOPOLIS.’ As a result, Francis Ford Coppola is expected to provide $15M to $20M in marketing himself. (hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…)
