There is a skill circulating called REA-Video "Reverse Engineer Anything - Video" Essentially claude downloads a video from youtube and analyzes every frame and the relationship between them to "extract" the video editing style. And i'm afraid with Fable, this is VERY good now. I've tested it on Kurzagets video... i did it on stream, i dont think i'm gonna post it for the negative backlash from the editor community, but i just think people should be aware of where this is going. @elder_plinius tweeted the following the other day: 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 I have a feeling the path to creating a model that's VERY good at editing and creating videos is something like this, but with Videos. Reverse engineer every good video to code files then use that data to train models. again i'm not saying any one is or anyone should do this. just... a thought.

I've deleted a lot of tweets that I really shouldn't have deleted because I couldn't take the heat, and I think enough time has passed that I am going to reverse-apologize for the time I said people who wear Patagonia vests at Michelin Star restaurants are "slobs."

If your AI characters sound fake, the fix is almost always in how you write and DIRECT the dialogue in your prompt. I recently started on the dialogue-heavy scenes for my AI feature film about Beethoven, and too many of the lines kept coming out wrong. They’d sound too theatrical, too monotone, or too much like a practice read-through between actors. (all this despite the fact that Seedance 2.5 is fantastic when it comes to realism.) So through a whole lot of trial and error, I've found that these 5 things made the biggest impact on the quality of the dialogue delivery in my generations: 1. Paying close attention to the written punctuation used. 2. Breaking long lines into shorter ones, with intentional pauses. 3. Using bodily actions as punctuation (this one gave the biggest improvement BY FAR! In the attached clip, note the sniffles in between Beethoven's lines. That alone made the delivery feel much more natural.) 4. Using "anchor gestures" (he lifts his finger as if to say "one sec") 5. Just split your generations in two (stupid simple, but it really makes a difference.) So if your characters keep sounding like they're reading from a teleprompter, give this a try!

This paper answers why can’t you remember being a baby? For over a century, science said you can't remember being a baby because your infant brain was just too "immature" to record anything. researchers assumed your hard drive was basically turned off for the first two years of life. But this wild paper from Yale completely rewrites how we understand human memory.. Researchers literally put awake babies (between 4 and 25 months old) into an fMRI scanner to watch their brains process new visual experiences in real-time. and what they found is mindblowing.. the infant hippocampus isn't turned off at all. it is actively firing, capturing, and encoding episodic memories. they proved that babies with higher hippocampal activity during a new experience formed a highly stable memory trace. the babies are recording the data. the memory of your first birthday, your first steps, the exact layout of the room you slept in.. it was all successfully saved to your brain. so why can't you remember it? the paper concludes that infantile amnesia isn't an "encoding" problem.. it is a "retrieval" problem. your brain recorded everything perfectly. but as you grew, your brain underwent massive developmental shifts, like explosive neurogenesis (the rapid birth of new neurons), which completely restructured your neural networks. the pathways to access those early files got buried or locked away. you didn't fail to make the memories.. you just lost the encryption key to open them. somewhere deep in your hippocampus, the exact first-person memory of being a 1-year-old might still be sitting there. you just can't access the file anymore.. the human brain is terrifyingly beautiful.

AI is popular because it disrupts content distribution monopolies and rights holders grasp over the culture. It is unpopular among people who depend on those monopolies, because everyone wants to redistribute the means of production until it actually starts happening.

Sama is very challenging for people to engage with because you have to listen to all the words he says in the order that he says them
