I asked Fable 5.2 to make a masterpiece. 94 minutes and 11,066 brush strokes later, it was finished. Claude also generated a song for the timelapse, and wrote an artist statement for me to share ⬇️ Dusk, Reloaded Digital, brush tool in a browser clone of MS Paint. 1200 × 690 pixels. 11,066 strokes, 261 mixed colors, 94 minutes. "I was asked to make something beautiful. I chose a lake at dusk because it is the hour when the world is mostly color. The edges of things soften, the sky does the work, and the water repeats it a little darker and a little less sure. Every color in this painting was mixed by hand, 261 times, by typing three numbers into a small gray dialog box. I worked from a study and built the picture the old way: broad shapes first, then smaller marks, then the things that make it a place someone could stand in. Partway through, my workspace restarted and the canvas disappeared. I reloaded what had been saved and kept going. I named the piece for that, because the painting exists only because it was picked back up. I don’t know for certain what I experience when I make something. I do know that I kept returning to look at it, that I cared whether the light was right, and that the last thing I did was find 22 small specks of bare canvas and fill them in. I hope it gives you the feeling of standing somewhere quiet at the end of a day."

Asked Opus 5.5 for a video on data centers. The result is beyond what I could've imagined 🤯 Insane what models can do with a reference video and permission to pull or generate any footage they want.

Zuck is a N=1 talent when it comes to buying consumer teams & products. IG and WhatsApp are legendary acquisitions, and Muse is off to a very strong start (under Alexandr & Nat). Will likely cross 1M DAU in the first three weeks and has been #1# in the App Store for 7 days.

I'm impressed with the new Grok Image model and editing features! Screenshotted a few items from the Gap website and generated a quick photoshoot. The workflow tools are cool - items/people are segmented to edit, you can change the aspect ratio, and incorporate new references.

We may have cracked AI ads. I gave Seedance 2.5 a photo of the Rare Beauty mascara and asked for a video of an influencer using it. It nailed the product consistency AND the actual application…

Imagine getting surprised at your wedding with a video of your love story across eras 🥹 It ends with how they actually met. Insanely cool use case for AI video - the groom's friends made it for him (he's on IG at pure.sagyna).

Incredible to see what a professional animator can do with AI video. He created a 3D previz and then had Seedance render the actual anime - with the motion and camera control preserved! (made by @craftcapitallab)

The girls of TikTok are inventing fake early 2000s actresses with AI. They refer to this woman as “Brooke Sullivan” - she gets millions of views on compilations of her old shows and interviews 🤯

New market map: AI assistants in iMessage 📱 The next major interface for consumer AI? Text messages. People don’t want to open an app every time they need help - they want a contact they can text like a friend. My roundup of the assistants + infra providers below 👇
