We’re Not Ready For Superintelligence

AI 2027 depicts a possible future where artificial intelligence radically transforms the world in just a few intense years. It’s based on detailed expert forecasts — but how much of it will actually happen? Are we really racing towards a choice between a planet controlled by the elite, or one where humans have lost control entirely?

My takeaway? Loss of control, racing scenarios, and concentration of power are all concerningly plausible, and among the most pressing issues the world faces.

How AI-Generated Influencers Are Earning Millions

Virtual YouTubers like Bloo promised a new era of entertainment, combining human creativity with AI scalability. But their rapid rise is raising concerns about authenticity and audience trust.

How Big Tech Is Quietly Taking Over AI (Without Mergers)

In the race to dominate generative AI, Big Tech firms haven’t just been building, they’ve been buying. But there’s something strange about most of the deals that they have struck.

Stunning AI Video & Real Time Voice To Video!

The new AI video model, SeeDance, is finally here, and it was worth the wait! In this video, I’m putting it through its paces and the good news is, it hits that sweet spot of being fast, cheap, and good.

We’re diving deep into SeeDance, the new AI video model from ByteDance. After a chaotic rollout with some initial bugs, SeeDance Pro is now widely available and working like a charm. I’ll be testing it out on Krea, and I have to say, their new image model is pretty impressive too!

I’ll walk you through my experiments with text-to-video and where I think this model really shines: image-to-video. We’ll look at everything from creating cinematic scenes to kung fu fights and some surprisingly good character acting and emoting. Plus, I’ll reveal SeeDance’s superpower that lets you create some really interesting cuts in your videos.

Later in the video, we’ll check out Dream Stream for some real-time, voice-controlled AI video generation that’s a lot of fun to play with. And a big thanks to Recraft for sponsoring this video and offering a sweet discount for you all!
