Pennsylvania Mayor Slams ‘Love Island’ Contestant for Quitting His Police Job to be on the show
"Our police department spent a lot of time training and we paid thousands of taxpayer dollars to send him to the police academy. We are disappointed he left as we now have another vacancy in our department that is impossible to fill until next year. I never thought I’d see the day in America where reality show participation wins out over being a police officer."
"The fact that someone like Martin Scorsese — one of the greatest, most impressive filmmakers to exist — is using our technology and curious about exploring it...it's such a great proof point that this works.”
- our CEO @robrombach in an interview with @brooksbarnes for the @nytimes. They discussed why Martin Scorsese joined BFL as an advisor.
At Black Forest Labs, we're building visual intelligence: AI models that can understand and reason in the physical and digital worlds. Scorsese is helping shape how our models serve creators who care deeply about their craft, whether they're storytellers, designers, engineers, or roboticists.

"Paul Thomas Anderson emphasized the importance of supporting 'the big swing' in filmmaking, arguing that harsh criticism makes it harder for risky or artistic films to get made."
amidst all the discourse on these two zoomer films, no one seems to mention a very obvious reason why they’re so successful:
they’re pretty unique rn in that they aren’t thinly-guised political commentary being shoved down the viewer’s throat and packaged as “entertainment”
i’m actually now very convinced that the fact that “just some person yapping” is a viable content category for hours of daily tiktok consumption is doing insane amounts of harm to society at scale.
Announcement:
I’m looking for 100 new YouTube channels to implement our latest growth strategies with. 🎉
After 9 sold-out cohorts, we're opening applications to cohort 10 of my YouTube Accelerator.
We find talented creators and implement my full growth playbook with them.
We've taken channels from 1k views a video to 500k+
From $100/month to $10,000/month (within months)
We have even had multiple creators make 5m+ view videos DURING the cohorts.
This is going to be our best cohort yet… we’ve spent years fine tuning what we deliver:
- 8 week intense group coaching program focused on results
- 30+ hours of fully refreshed live training from me
- Our complete AI operating system for YouTube
- Personalized strategy help and feedback
- 24/7 live community to support
One of the biggest pieces of feedback we get from students is we undersell how much work we put in lol.
If you want to see if you're a fit... apply below (we will literally review within days!)
If you have applied before and not been accepted, don’t be discouraged.
We've even had someone who applied 5+ times and then finally got in.
And also f**k it... we're making this a reoccurring thing:
One person who likes and RT this tweet will get a 100% paid for scholarship (worth thousands).
Fully taken care for by me. ❤️
