Believe women is the worse slogan of all time. It only supports the liars and hurt's the victims.

The first scary step is one company owning all software tech.
my spidey senses are telling me the labs are, as we speak, using unguardrailed versions of their unreleased models to systematically reverse-engineer ALL of the internet’s software, apps, and games, then feeding the reconstructed source code straight into their training pipelines while simultaneously building guardrails to ladder-pull the rest of us

Creating AI videos or just avatars is very possible but very expensive with tools like Seedance.
Now there's a Jev moment for AI video tech where Atmee v2 is about 100 times faster and 50 times cheeper then Seedance 2.5:
Seedance 2.5: 233.6 s, $0.50
Atmee v2: 3.5 s, about a cent
Which makes it a great tool for YouTube Faceless or digital products.
After Google acquired my AR startup, I started thinking about the next interface, this time for AI. Text and voice work fine, just like DOS did before the Mac. But nothing’s more intuitive than face to face.
After two years of research, today we’re launching Atmee v2: a real-time avatar model that makes live video agents feel truly life-like.
• Any character from 1 image + 10s of audio
• Contextual expressions, gestures, even interacting with the environment
• Live video calls, voice only, or video generation
At its core, Atmee v2 is a video foundation model, it can render anything, but it’s built to excel at characters, which is what video models like Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0 are mostly used for. In comparison:
Atmee v2
• Up to 50x faster
• 10-100x cheaper
Build tutors, sales coaches, support agents, companions, game characters, even whole living worlds. The interface after text and voice starts today.
Sub Agents in Claude Code use 99% less of your usage🤯
Crazy a small change of not reread it but using notes system makes such a big change.
Background subagents in Claude Code now use less of your usage limit.
A running subagent updates its status line every 30 seconds, and each update used to re-read its whole conversation. Now Haiku 5.5 writes it from short notes instead, so each update costs about 99% less.

Affinity for iPad is finally live.
The unified Affinity app aka Affinity 3, now available on both desktop & iPad for free.
Merges what used to be 3 separate standalone applications into a single .af file workflow:
Affinity Designer (Vector Studio): Vector graphic design, logo creation, typography and digital illustration.
Affinity Photo (Pixel Studio): RAW processing, raster photo editing, retouching and multi-layer compositing.
Affinity Publisher (Layout Studio): Multi-page desktop publishing and print/digital page layouts.
The new unified version also adds a dedicated Sketch Studio for freehand drawing and a Color Grading Studio.
AI Features are behind a paywall of Canva Pro sub:
Decompose Layer: Automatically splits a flat image into separate, editable foreground and background layers.
Generative Expand: Outpaints and extends image borders to fit new aspect ratios or print bleeds.
AI Upscaling & Restoration: Scales up low-resolution references or textures for print while clearing noise and reducing motion blur with live grain controls.
Intelligent Masking & Object Selection: Boundary-aware masking and subject/background isolation that tracks complex edges like hair, fur, and foliage as you trace with the Apple Pencil or cursor.
Sketch to Shapes: Converts rough, hand-drawn pencil forms into clean, editable vector shapes and nodes.
So say goodbye to your adobe sub and try Affinity 3 for free!
Then buy davinci resolve studio version once. Or buy Black Magic hardware like the Speed editor to get it for free.

Hermes Agent hackathon 20k in Prizes with 1st place taking $10,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds:
The Hermes Agent Plugin Hackathon starts now!
It runs for 7 days, with $20,000 in cash prizes and more.
Plugins are the most powerful way to extend Hermes Agent, and we want this hackathon to show what they can do. A plugin can change anything from the model Hermes runs on, where it stores its memory, where it runs commands, which messaging apps it works in and what Hermes Desktop shows. Plugins in the marketplace already let Hermes do things like control a phone or turn a photo into a printable 3D model.
Every kind of plugin is eligible, so build whatever functionality you want Hermes to have. We'll list accepted entries in the new Hermes Marketplace, where every Hermes user can install them.
Prizes
1st: $10,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
2nd: $5,000 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
3rd: $2,500 + neon sign + merch + $1,000 creds
4th: $1,500 + merch + $500 creds
5th: $1,000 + merch + $500 creds
Runners up (x5): merch + $250 creds
Submissions are due 5PM EST on Nov 11th. To enter:
1. Open a pull request that adds your plugin to the Hermes plugin catalog: hermes-agent.nousresearch.co…
2. Post a demo video on X and tag @NousResearch
3. Submit both links through the form: form.typeform.com/to/FwJLvOl…
Your entry is the plugin itself. Judges score it on usefulness, reliability, polish and creativity, and they favor plugins that do more than a prompt or a skill could. Keep the demo under 90 seconds and show the plugin working.
The developer guide shows how to build and test a plugin: hermes-agent.nousresearch.co…
When submissions close, we'll open a thread for every entry in the Nous Research Discord, so you can browse all the plugins and talk to the people who built them.
You can submit the form as soon as your pull request is open. The catalog checks run once a maintainer starts them, and we review entries every few days.
If you have any questions stop by the Nous Research Discord: discord.gg/nousresearch
GLHF!

So much crazy shit has happened since this I almost forgot.
I need everyone to pause and acknowledge Zelensky in all of this.
Ukraine has been chipping away at bot farms...and they timed it perfectly so Trump and Elon and co wouldn't have time to "fix" the damage done to their false social media support
The drop-off in bots was immediate and exposed things exactly when it was most important
A hero in every sense, that guy.

1 time I went to a lake with a group of teenage friends and a random girl.
We all wanted to do the change beneath your towel trick to skip the long line for the changing room.
So the first things she does after changing:
It's so Sunny, it's to good of a opportunity to not get a tan.
Then took off her bikini top....
The Bois looked at each other like huh🤩/🤣

This is ridiculous the new X Unified Tiers Dropped 3 weeks ago. Which gives you access to X Premium, Cursor and Grok + Bot.
What happened (I know nothing)
- bot launched
- 2 weeks later usage flatlined
- Elon asked whatsup
- PM says it’s your model, product is fine
- Elon says ok, use whatever model
- Team switches to Opus 5.5
- Growth skyrockets
- Elon has never seen anything like it
- see Anthropic bill
- 🤯 forces quota cut
-> you are here
mfw when the model is the product

▸ One-tap skill installs
▸ Connect services like Shopify, Stripe, Notion, Linear and Slack
▸ Plugins, MCP, projects, artifacts and a Kanban board
▸ Usage and spend tracking

▸ Light and dark themes, accent colors and custom app icons
What you can do with it:
▸ Talk through an idea on a walk and hand it off
▸ Set up a morning brief from bed that lands in Discord
▸ Add a skill the moment you need it
▸ Check what your agent spent today
▸ Drop a task on your board from the grocery line
Hermes just left the desk.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The official Hermes Agent mobile app is not in open beta; it was a private beta that leaked and quickly reached max tester limits on TestFlight/Firebase per the company and site.

Antrophic removed the 5 hour limit from the Max 20x planed now renamed Ultra:
We’re renaming our Max plans:
Max 5x → Max
Max 20x → Ultra
Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do.
We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed.
Weekly limits remain unchanged. View our plans here: claude.com/pricing
