I work with AI making videos and art. I am the original creator of the viral Elon and Trump dance and Matrix-Trump video. "Best AI video to date!" - Elon Musk

This is my entry for Arca Giden 2026. The base is Photography from roughly 15 years of my life brought to life with LTX 2 and ComfyUI with a bit of flux 2 for some of the elements and Foundation 1 for the audio stems.

[ComfyUI @ComfyUI]

We just raised $30M at a $500M valuation, bringing our total funding to $47M.

Led by @craft_ventures , with @PaceCap , @chemistry , TruArrow, and others.

But before anything else: this belongs to the community.

ComfyUI started as one developer and one open-source repo. No roadmap. No company. Just creators who wanted real control over how they built with AI.

That community is now:

→ 4 million users
→ 60,000+ community-built nodes
→ 150,000+ daily downloads

Every number traces back to people who built in the open, for anyone to use.

Here's where the funding goes:

→ Comfy Cloud: for teams and studios that need security and scale
→ Collaborative workflows: versioning and iteration built for how studios actually work
→ A better local experience: more seamless, more stable
→ Ecosystem reliability: making 60,000+ community nodes more dependable
→ Day-one model support: every major release, compatible at launch

We are not building a walled garden.

We are building open infrastructure, built to last.

Thank you genuinely,
The ComfyUI Team

@rlux @CitizenPlain @ltx_model Thank you!

@huwhitememes Noice!

@LVJulieKL @BasedMikeLee Thank you for the citation. It means a lot. I am still in awe that this thing is still making the rounds after a year.
I may reboot it with a much better version. My skills have improved a lot since then.

@huwhitememes Jesus is king. Glad you got through it. Sometimes we are tested, there is always something to learn from it, something to note is that demons feed off of negativity. The more you cuss and scream at them the stronger they get. I will be praying for you brother.

[J P @Cyncratic]

@ostrisai You are the man Ostris. We all know it.

[J P @Cyncratic]

If you want to make videos like that you should get into comfyui. Alternatively you could use something like seedream and some 3d skills to match the dance moves. The videos I make actually take quite a bit more than just prompting to get solid output. There is compositing and traditional visual effects in the mix in there as well.

Seemed to me this is appropriate. Trump x Musk - Stayin Alive. Original dancers are Aubrey Fisher and Vik.

@CitizenPlain @banodoco @ComfyUI @Lightricks @NVIDIAAI You sir are a G.

[J P @Cyncratic]

@SmilemoreFL @MaverickDarby That is 100 percent AI. Watch the lips.

[J P @Cyncratic]

@huwhitememes Merry christmas guys. I am glad I know you both. You guys are dope. Stay solid.

[George Strompolos @gstrompolos]

What a short-sighted take. We're entering an era of unprecedented creative empowerment where it's no longer about getting "picked".

@Diesol This is fire Dave!

MetaPuppet’s new short film, Kyra, is a vibrant tribute to the New York artists who shaped his early creative journey.

From the graffiti writers who turned 5 Pointz into a living canvas to the subway drummers who transformed the city’s underground into a stage, Kyra celebrates the rhythm, color, and spirit that define artistic expression in its rawest form.

@MetaPuppet's short was created with @AdobeFirefly and debuted at @Adobe MAX.

🎥 Watch Kyra below.

One of the most beautiful shorts I've seen. Love this

[Dave Clark @Diesol]

Sharing my latest short, My Friend, Zeph, which premiered this week at #AdobeMAX.

I wanted to create a personal story about growing up — and what it means to hold onto wonder as we move between childhood and adulthood. As a dad to a young daughter, that theme really resonated with me.

To bring it to life, I used a hybrid approach that blended traditional filmmaking with generative tools within @AdobeFirefly. We shot with actors on location and against blue screen, then used AI to expand the world, enhance emotion, and visualize memory in a way that feels both real and dreamlike.

It’s been incredible seeing how these new tools can help tell stories that feel deeply human.

Still buzzing from our @Techweek_ by @a16z event! ⚡️
Big thanks to everyone who came out, and to Albert Cheng from Amazon MGM for an incredible conversation with @gstrompolos about how AI is shaping the future of creativity.

The ideas, the energy, the people...what a night!

@peterom Asking your Claude Code instance to keep everything pep 8 compliant and modular to keep files from getting monolithic and make use of inheritance will keep your code clean and much easier to manage. It works wonders for debugging also.

@ingi_erlingsson This is dope Ingi.
