Elon Musk warns that time is running out: At most, there are 3 years left in which you can still make money selling your work. After that, AI will automate most tasks, and paying a person for their time will no longer make sense. The model of the last 200 years - "I give you your salary in exchange for your time" - is coming to an end. This will trigger the greatest transfer of wealth in modern history. Those who are already making the shift understand it. Those waiting for it to hit the news will arrive too late. In the end, what matters is not how much you work, but what you own. The smartest asset you can build right now isn't Bitcoin or land. It's an income stream that runs on AI and compounds while you sleep.

The new Kling Motion Control is insanely good at character swap. I used "known" faces, which is hard mode - we're much better at judging if they stay consistent throughout the clip. It's not perfect, but it handled a tricky shot with multiple weird angles quite well 👇

Seedance 3.0 specs just leaked. If this is accurate, this isn’t another incremental AI video upgrade. It’s a structural shock to Hollywood. • 10 to 18 minute coherent films in one pass • Persistent narrative memory across scenes • Native multi language voice with emotional control • Shot level directing inputs like a real production workflow • Cost reportedly a fraction of traditional shoots We are not talking about TikTok clips anymore. We are talking about full cinematic episodes generated from prompts. Hollywood’s moat was scale, capital, and distribution. AI just compressed all three.

2026 music industry, creator, AI, + social media predictions: 1) The rise of the AI native record label - the emergence of purely AI record labels: AI-generated artists, no staff (maybe 1 or 2) and AI for everything (including A&R). The music will be from fake artists. 2) Touring middle class collapses (top 10% & bottom 10% survive) - rising costs of touring and getting on the road, fewer artists wanting to take the risk, and more artists protecting their energy. As the economy goes up and down, there may also be less fans with discretionary income to spend on concert tickets. More independent artists without financial support will completely remove this from their careers. 3) More fans transition off social media to IRL - this has been happening but more listening parties, release parties, run clubs, workshops, meet-ups, etc. 4) The AI flood gates open and start to become normalized - AI-generated music bursts wide open this year. AI-generated artists become more normalized with less controversy around each major moment. (ie Billboard charting or viral song) 6) DSPs will introduce specific playlists for AI music - DSPs start implementing the inevitable and create their own playlists for AI-generated music. It begins the process of mass disclosing music made with AI. Spotify introduces a suite of playlists for different moods, all music generated by AI. 7) SUNO creates a bifurcation in producers - producers get split into 2 categories: a) those who produce beats themselves and b) those who create beats using AI systems and prompting. 8) Superfan stays a buzzword - very few people know what it actually means but everyone continues to talk about reaching them. 9) Sora and Veo3 start to become implemented by directors - music video + content budgets continue shrinking with smaller crews. Directors evolve and start learning AI prompt engineering to help scale content creation. 10) Social media slowly transitions back to quality over quantity - gone are the days of sh*t posting and throwing 5 posts at the wall per day. Social becomes less about volume and more about quality. 11) Music managers become COOs - more managers become partners, not just traditional managers. (ie J. Cole & Ib with Dreamville, Brent Faiyaz & Ty Baisen) 12) More creators become founders - creators don’t just sell attention, they start selling products from companies they own. Think CatGPT’s Physical Phones for example. Creators go from selling low-ticket digital products to actually founding + running companies and using their audience for distribution. 13) People pay (big) money to go offline - offline becomes the new luxury because people are so burnt out. Think silent retreats, phone-free events, no content allowed spaces, etc. 14) Creators tour like artists - talks, meet-ups, live podcasts, etc. They add another revenue stream with IRL events. 15) Long-form writing starts to make a comeback - AI floods short form, people seek more depth from long form. Long-form writing also becomes more relevant with impacting SEO in ChatGPT, Claude, etc. 16) Rise of faceless creators / avatars using AI - just like how music marketers market songs to “faceless” pages, more “faceless” or avatar creators emerge that aren’t branded to real people. 17) Education becomes entertainment again - people start following creators to actually learn, not just for entertainment. 18) Major recording studios decline - more and more artists prefer to own the process themselves and buy their own home studios. Some use AI tools to create, mix, and master their own music. 19) AI content becomes indistinguishable from real life - it becomes almost impossible to distinguish AI content from real, human-made content. Content from Veo3 and Sora becomes that good. 20) Burnout no longer becomes a badge of honor - hustle culture starts dying and burnout starts removing creators from the game. Creators will start losing to exhaustion, not other creators. 21) Creators + artists start prioritizing wellness as much as content- sleep quality, mental clarity, removing dopamine, etc. People start shifting their output + how they live their lives to maintain energy. 22) Health-focused communities continue to grow -more run clubs emerge, wellness clubs, etc. More artists + creators introduce wellness community building into their brands and careers. Gunna and Diplo set the stage for artists with their own run clubs. 23) YouTube introduces more AI-assisted editing within the platform - maybe YouTube introduces Veo3 directly within YouTube and allows users to create videos directly from prompting within YouTube. 24) X completely turns into a chaos platform - X continues shipping features at a fast rate and fully embraces being a platform rooted in chaos where communication and conversation travel at lightning speed. 25) D2C continues to grow - more artists become upset at the lack of revenue earned from streaming and go direct to fans. Creator led digital products decline unless they are high quality and actually of value. 26) Billboard Charts lose relevancy - with YouTube pulling its data, Billboard no longer becomes an accurate source of truth that encompasses the whole playing field. Either other charts emerge or Billboard starts to lose relevancy. 27) Artist media brands - more artists start their own media platform and launch podcasts or shows (ie Jim Jones, Dave East, Maino, Fabolous - “Let’s Rap About It”). 28) The first $100M AI company built by a solopreneur - the first solopreneur builds a $100M company using AI, by themselves with no team. Vibe coding starts leading to millions. 29) Voice continues to grow - AI voice tools become increasingly popular. More adoption in the workplace - more teams start sending voicenotes to each other over emails or using voicenotes to write emails + text messages 30) OpenAI makes a play for medical - OpenAI introduced lots of app integrations last year with Shopify, Expedia, Spotify, etc. I predict this year OpenAI (or another AI company) tests medical integration where users can start tracking their medical reports in one place / integrating doctor’s exams. It becomes a massively controversial topic in regards to data breach and privacy / safety concerns. What do you think? What am I missing?

And there it is. Trump admits he wants the shutdown to further implement project 2025. Do you get it now?

Before you ask: yes, everything is AI here. The video and sound both coming from a single text prompt using #Veo3 by @GoogleDeepMind .Whoever is cooking the model, let him cook! Congrats @Totemko and the team for the Google I/O live stream and the new Veo site!

Isa isa lang. After the Dutertes, go for the Marcoses. The thing is, the 'real opposition' seems to be wasting this as opportunity to consolidate force so they'll have chance once the Duterte-Marcos war is over. Risa is in it..but where are the others?

PRESS STATEMENT Atty. Leila M. de Lima Liberal Party Spokesperson 20 June 2024 Mariing tinututulan ng Partido Liberal ang naging deklarasyon ni dating Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque matapos magbitiw ni VP Sara Duterte sa kanyang posisyon sa gabinete. Aniya, sa pagkalusaw ng Uniteam, si VP Sara na raw ang leader ng oposisyon. Ang tunay na oposisyon, may pundasyon ng accountability, transparency, at pagmamalasakit sa mamamayan–mga bagay na hindi makikita sa track record ni VP Sara. Sa kanyang pagbibitiw, wala namang naganap na pag-ako sa responsibilidad, o pagbabago ng mga prinsipyo at paninindigan. Paano naging oposisyon ang may pananagutang hanggang ngayon, sinisingil pa ng taumbayan? Higit sa lahat: Taumbayan ang inuuna ng oposisyon. Hindi ang pagpapalawak at pagpapanatili sa kapangyarihan. Hindi ang pagtatanggol sa wanted na religious leader o pagpatay sa libu-libong Pilipino. Lalo namang hindi ang pagbubulag-bulagan sa pang-aapi sa ating mga mangingisda at pang-aagaw sa ating teritoryo ng mga dayuhan. Ang nangyari kahapon ay pag-amin lamang sa matagal nang alam ng karamihan: na palabas lang ang "unity" ng "uniteam." Maniobra lamang ito noong panahon ng eleksiyon para makakuha ng suporta ng mga botante. At ngayon, malinaw na may nagaganap na namang bagong pagmamaniobra. Sa panahon ng nagtataasang mga presyo, krisis sa edukasyon, at banta sa ating seguridad, tunay na paglilingkod at pangangalaga mula sa mga namumuno ang kailangan ng sambayanan. Nananawagan kami sa mga kinauukulan: unahin ang mga Pilipino, bago ang mga pansariling interes.

‘THEY DO NOT LOVE THIS COUNTRY.’ Filipinos who favor the International Criminal Court’s probe should be made to sing the Philippine national anthem 1,000 times to rekindle their love for the country, said Sen. Ronald dela Rosa. READ MORE: inqnews.net/BatoNationalAnth…

Thank you for two incredible nights Manila 🧡⚡️⚡️⚡️

Nice seeing you, @stompboxer 😘

My two brand-side gigs left me even more puzzled as to why so many clients insist on exerting so much control over creative execution. Hire an agency, let them do the work. If the work doesn't perform, find another agency. The end.
