Late to the party, but trying out Veo3 comedy 😂

I've been languishing in mediocrity for too long Time to study the greats For deliberate practice, I will try to replicate: - Ads - Trailers I will try to produce both the audio and video, but to make it easy on myself, I will produce: - At a lower fidelity - Maybe only the

"Audio remix" time. I produced every bit of audio in this clip. By the end, I was knee-deep in Serum. Takeaway: if you want to produce great audio, you need to sound design from scratch, at the synthesizer level (Serum), so it's as synchronized as possible to the video itself.

Attention is the real currency (working memory). Not time (calendar). What's in your "working memory"? Attentional residue lingers from calendar slot to slot. Best to be focus-maxxed on 1 thing — outside of self-care/family/socializing/etc.

A corollary of attentional residue: "Feeds" are the worst possible destroyer of your mind. You voluntarily flush your working memory (AKA focus) to zero, by filling your mind with random fragments of other people's minds, purveyed by an algorithm designed to hijack your

If true, the key to promotion (to director or VP) is to act the part of an aristocrat.

Anti-work (quiet quitting, NEET, Hikikomori) is a maladaptive symptom of the problem, rather than an adaptive solution to the problem. What problem? The problem of finding PMF for yourself. The ideal scenario is when your work leads to a flywheel of both engagement and income.

Maybe this is why Elon is into AI gooning He feels so intellectually alone, that AI is his only hope for being seen — literally, no one he knows can mirror him back That being said, I'm not sure if he ever said anything that was hard to understand He doesn't come across like a

Tweeting might literally be the best hobby... The key to getting good at anything is 10,000 iterations. A tweet is perhaps the lowest-cost creative act — so you can iterate at high frequency towards 10,000. Just tweeting is the point. Don't worry about creating images, or

Everyone talks about using AI as Socrates to learn. But they're missing the key ingredient: autism. AKA hyperfocus (topic-driven obsession). A single query to ChatGPT isn't enough to make you a top-1% expert at anything. But if you ask ChatGPT 10,000 questions about a single

Life advice from "ChatGPT Pro" (after 4m 45s of reasoning) Maybe everyday, I should create an Ad Video for some company/product I'm interested in.

Between posting on X, and bouncing ideas off of AI, I think it's possible to create enough of a Dopamine Loop, where you don't need a job to be stimulated / motivated. Instead of relying on the social structure of a job, you can create a para-social relationship with your Feed

Good writing is the most AI-proof art form. Writing good prompts will shape your AI. Writing good tweets will shape how you think.

Time for something eerie... “Silence is my sharpest blade; it cuts me first.”

Knowing what you want — is much harder than it sounds. My autism makes information processing very inefficient. The side effect is that I'm often confused about the hierarchical/gestalt. Which means I often don't intuitively know what I want, at a high level. This makes

WTF LOL

🔊 Sound on My MVA for the evening AKA "Minimum Viable Art" Midjourney -> Runway Gen-4 ElevenLabs: "I sought thunder; the heavens sent a duck."

Wow. Not bad! Veo 3 Prompt: "Camera knifes along a desert mesa, then drops into a sinuous slot canyon striped in iron reds. A storm-chaser helicopter noses between walls as thunder goads the sky. Mid-shot WOW: a distant roar becomes a flash flood—chocolate water avalanches
