Grok Imagine just keeps ranking #1 one after another across many benchmarks….insane progress in very short time
Ex-ChatGPT Product Head Peter Deng (@pxd) on the future of consumer AI:
“It's not going to be about who has the best model. It's going to be about who has the best taste.”
I’ve had a number of conversations with retailers, platforms and consumers about agentic commerce. Not many people are thinking about the customer. Ask first “does anyone use a chatbot today wanting to turn over buying of goods and services?”. forrester.com/blogs/what-it-…
I still can’t believe this is real.
I’m a trained filmmaker. Former film producer. I’ve spent thousands of hours in editing bays cutting footage frame by frame.
This weekend I’m creating a video for one of the biggest brands in the world.
Here’s my setup:
Claude Code on the left. @descript in the middle (for editing). @Remotion on the right (to preview/edit the motion graphics we create with CC)
I have all my scenes and templates built out referencing a central brand style guide (about 15 of them that CC also created for me)
When I need a new motion graphic, I copy the script section from Descript into Claude Code and get it back in 2 minutes, ready to drop into the timeline.
The background music? Built with a Python library a member in the Claude Code Community made. I type what I need, it generates the track.
Sound design and voice effects? @elevenlabs handles it, whatever the scene needs.
I spent years learning After Effects, Premiere, Final Cut. I went to school for this. And now the most efficient production workflow I’ve ever used is a code editor, a couple APIs, Descript and a programmatic video tool.
This isn’t replacing filmmaking. It’s what filmmaking looks like now.
If you’re a creator or a marketer still doing everything manually, this workflow will change how you think about video production.
I’m hosting a live event for our community where I’ll walk through this entire setup. It’s normally invite only, but I’m opening it up to everyone.
