it’s not designed to entertain, but it’s a genuinely important watch, imo especially for creatives (and really, anyone thinking about AI and the future) https://youtu.be/EnxCLOoO3XY?si=IkjmLkcZEB2bCdZc

4o is really underrated for creative work (ideation, writing, etc) with the right prompts 4.5 is also great https://x.com/mckaywrigley/status/1905415023503290827?s=46&t=X3iEw4fI_u17RX5ORhqWTw

soon: unlimited access to GPT-5 - for free this will have big implications for creative work 4o is already a great model (currently under-appreciated imo) - I use it for creative work / writing / ideation every day looking forward to 4.5 - and eventually unlimited access to 5 🤯

I’m terrible at math and never coded in my life Less than 2 days, I’ve hit 100 GitHub commits 🤯 I’m video editor / producer, savvy with software but never a dev - all I need to become a developer is ChatGPT canvas with 4o, o3-mini-high + 3.5 sonnet with Cursor I was streamlining a workflow, realized the fastest solution was to build my own creative software. I’ve finished and it’s working great. I’ve deployed it just for internal use at my production co with GitHub pages, added it as a web app to my dock. Progress is happening SO quickly.

Runway’s AI can take a horizontal video and turn it into vertical (or the other way around) It actually generates new video to fill the frame, not just crop or stretch. I made a quick tutorial showing how it works if you’re curious

AI animation with Runway Act-One... in my new tutorial for Creative Workflow Lab subscribers, I create a 10-second film featuring two characters, each with a unique voice from Eleven Labs. I've also added B-roll from OpenAI's Sora.

Luma Labs expanded its Dream Machine platform, while Runway began rolling out its new Frames image model. OpenAI's Sora was leaked, and Canadian media giants took legal action against OpenAI.
