[Axiom @axiommathai]

1/ We’re delighted to announce a milestone for AI-assisted mathematics:

With AxiomProver, we've completed a machine-checkable formalization of the “BGP246 theorem,” the best-known bound on recurring small gaps between primes.

Closest math has come to the Twin Prime Conjecture.

[Dr Singularity @Dr_Singularity]

intelligence gets cheaper
robots get cheaper
energy gets cheaper
invention gets faster

That combination is how civilization will get dramatically richer in a very short time.

You will witness this

It will be hard to believe how quickly, and how rich our civilization will become. But people, as always, will get used to it extremely quickly.

Character style + storyboard ⤵️

Character prompt:

Create a premium cinematic anime character using the attached character sheet as the absolute identity reference.

The attached @char1 @img1 @img2 @img3 sheet is the master source for:

face shape
hairstyle
hair color
eye shape
eye color
skin tone
age appearance
body proportions
facial hair, if present
distinctive facial features
overall personality and visual identity

Do not redesign the character.

Do not alter facial proportions.

Do not change hairstyle, hairline, eye shape, nose, jawline, skin tone or body build.

Do not make the character younger, older, more muscular, thinner or more stylized than the reference.

Translate the exact same person into a high-end contemporary anime-film aesthetic.

STYLE

Use:

clean refined anime linework
sophisticated cel shading
subtle gradients on skin
detailed layered hair strands
natural eye highlights
mature facial proportions
realistic anatomy
believable fabric folds
cinematic depth of field
soft atmospheric lighting
highly polished theatrical anime rendering

The character should feel like the lead of a modern animated feature film, not a generic anime avatar.

Avoid:

chibi proportions
oversized cartoon eyes
exaggerated head size
childish facial expressions
extreme manga deformation
superhero proportions
plastic-looking skin
overly glossy 3D rendering
MONDAY MORNING WARDROBE

Dress the referenced character in:

clean fitted white T-shirt
open pale-blue overshirt with softly rolled sleeves
charcoal relaxed trousers
simple dark smartwatch
white socks or minimal indoor slippers

Wardrobe should feel casual, contemporary and natural for a Monday morning at home.

EXPRESSION + BODY LANGUAGE

Expression:
slightly sleepy but positive, as though he has just started waking up.

Eyes relaxed but gradually alert.

Very subtle half-smile.

Hair can appear slightly imperfect from sleep while preserving the exact hairstyle from the reference.

Body posture:
relaxed shoulders,
natural stance,
slight forward lean,
one hand casually holding a coffee mug or resting near the kitchen counter.

The character should feel relatable, confident and human rather than posed like a fashion model.

LIGHTING

Early Monday-morning apartment light.

Warm golden sunlight enters from a nearby window and creates a soft rim across one side of the face and hair.

Cool blue ambient shadows remain on the opposite side.

Use soft reflected light from the kitchen interior.

Natural anime-film bloom around bright window areas.

ENVIRONMENT

Place the character in a modern lived-in apartment kitchen.

Warm wooden cabinetry
Cream countertops
Coffee machine
Toaster
Frying pan
Fruit bowl
Ceramic coffee mug
Large morning window

The kitchen should use detailed anime background painting with realistic depth and texture.

Keep the character as the clear visual focus.

CHARACTER SHEET OUTPUT

Create the referenced character consistently across:

front full-body view
left three-quarter view
right profile
rear view
close facial portrait
sleepy Monday-morning expression
alert energetic expression
holding coffee mug
standing at kitchen counter
casual cooking pose

Every view must preserve exactly the same identity from the attached character sheet.

FINAL VISUAL TARGET

Exact referenced character identity + premium cinematic anime-film transformation + mature proportions + sophisticated cel shading + warm Monday-morning lighting + contemporary kitchen setting.

The result should feel like a character who could remain perfectly consistent across a full 30-second anime breakfast sequence.

Treat the attached character sheet as the master identity reference for every generated frame and every subsequent Seedance 2.5 shot.

Storyboard prompt:

Use the **attached anime @char1 sheet and #style as the absolute master reference** for every shot. Preserve the same face, short dark hair, brown eyes, medium warm skin, age, lean athletic-average proportions, white T-shirt, pale-blue open overshirt, charcoal trousers, white socks, black smartwatch and mature premium anime-film aesthetic.

Maintain the same kitchen: warm walnut cabinetry, cream counters, wooden floor, large morning window, indoor plants, black coffee machine, toaster, frying pan, fruit, ceramic mug and soft city view.

Emotional arc:

**sleepy Monday → rhythm begins → breakfast becomes an anime action montage → everything clicks → optimistic reset.**

## COLOR + LIGHT

Palette: sunrise gold #F4B85A, amber #D98B3A, cream #F3DFC2, pale blue #AFC9DB, muted sky blue #7FA8C1, slate #46525E, walnut #6C452C, yolk gold #F2AD30, orange #F59B32, strawberry red #CF5147, coffee brown #402A20.

Lighting evolves continuously:

**0–6s:** cool blue morning shadows
**6–18s:** balanced blue + gold
**18–25s:** sunlight increasingly dominates
**25–30s:** rich golden morning

## MUSIC

One continuous **modern anime-opening instrumental with light city-pop energy**, 115–125 BPM, no vocals.

Begin with electric piano + muted bass. Gradually introduce finger snaps, brushed hi-hats, plucked synth/marimba, warm guitar and energetic drums by 10s. Synchronize kitchen actions rhythmically. Strip percussion away near 25s and resolve with a warm uplifting chord near 29s.

---

### 0:00–0:02.5 — SHOT 01 / SLEEPY ENTRY

Wide-medium 35mm anime composition. Character enters kitchen slowly, rubbing one eye, shoulders relaxed. Cool morning shadows fill the room while thin golden sunlight enters from the window. Coffee machine and toaster visible.

**CAMERA:** nearly static, very slow push-in.
**MUSIC:** lone electric-piano phrase.
**SFX:** footsteps, fabric rustle, refrigerator hum, distant city, sleepy exhale.

---

### 0:02.5–0:04.5 — SHOT 02 / COFFEE ON

Counter-height medium close-up. He reaches toward the black coffee machine and presses the power button. Warm rim light catches his fingers; mug waits beside it.

**CAMERA:** subtle push toward fingertip, focus face → button.
**MUSIC:** first percussive accent.
**SFX:** CLICK, relay engage, heating hum.

The click begins the rhythmic montage.

---

### 0:04.5–0:06.5 — SHOT 03 / EGG CRACK

Extreme macro. His hands crack an egg over a dark frying pan. Shell separates, yolk drops intact, translucent white stretches, tiny droplets catch sunlight. Pale-blue sleeve and smartwatch visible.

**CAMERA:** 100mm macro, ultra-shallow depth, brief high-speed feel.
**MUSIC:** plucked accent on crack.
**SFX:** CRACK → wet drop → immediate SIZZLE.

---

### 0:06.5–0:08.5 — SHOT 04 / BUTTER + PAN

Low pan-level beauty shot. Butter foams around egg, edges begin crisping, steam curls through sunlight. Character softly visible behind.

**CAMERA:** low 50mm lateral slide along pan.
**MUSIC:** light hi-hats and bass enter.
**SFX:** fizz, sizzle, burner tick, pan movement.

---

### 0:08.5–0:10.5 — SHOT 05 / FRUIT RHYTHM

Dynamic countertop-level shot. He slices strawberries and banana rapidly, now visibly more awake. Knife flashes through golden light; fruit dominates foreground.

**CAMERA:** very low lateral tracking beside cutting board.
**MUSIC:** cuts sync rhythmically: **CUT — CUT — CUT.**
**SFX:** crisp knife chops, wooden-board taps, fruit movement.

---

### 0:10.5–0:12.5 — SHOT 06 / TOAST DROP

Perfect top-down composition. He places two slices into toaster. Around them: egg pan, sliced fruit, coffee mug, butter, knife, oranges and plate. Golden sunlight creates graphic shapes across countertop.

**CAMERA:** locked symmetrical overhead.
**MUSIC:** full groove arrives: bass + percussion + warm guitar/plucked synth.
**SFX:** bread drop, toaster lever **SNAP** exactly on downbeat.

---

### 0:12.5–0:14.5 — SHOT 07 / COFFEE POUR

Hero macro. Fresh coffee streams into ceramic mug; steam curls through golden light. Character blurred behind, now alert and focused.

**CAMERA:** 85mm macro, subtle slow-motion liquid movement.
**MUSIC:** brief melodic lift.
**SFX:** coffee pour, machine gurgle, ceramic resonance.

---

### 0:14.5–0:16.5 — SHOT 08 / TOAST CATCH

Energetic medium-wide shot. Toast launches upward. Without fully looking, he catches one slice cleanly while holding coffee in the other hand. Tiny amused expression, never exaggerated.

**CAMERA:** slightly low 35mm; fast micro-pan up with toast then land on catch.
**MUSIC:** playful accent on launch.
**SFX:** POP → tiny WHOOSH → soft catch.

---

### 0:16.5–0:19 — SHOT 09 / EGG FLIP HERO BEAT

Low dramatic side angle. He flicks the frying pan. Egg rises cleanly into sunlight, yolk intact, steam and droplets suspended around it.

**CAMERA:** low 35mm hero angle, tilt up with egg; brief slow motion at apex.
**MUSIC:** short melodic rise, beat returns on landing.
**SFX:** pan flick → WHOOSH → momentary sonic drop → landing → SIZZLE.

Treat this ordinary action like a tiny anime hero moment.

---

### 0:19–0:21 — SHOT 10 / ORANGE GLOW

Three-quarter close-up. Orange juice pours into a clear glass directly inside a beam of sunlight, glowing vivid amber-gold. Finished toast, fruit and eggs visible behind. Character now carries a subtle confident smile.

**CAMERA:** 50–70mm slow micro push toward glass.
**MUSIC:** warm melodic layer opens up.
**SFX:** liquid pour, glass resonance, soft placement.

---

### 0:21–0:25 — SHOT 11 / FIRST SIP

Medium-wide across kitchen island. Finished breakfast: eggs, toast, fruit, orange juice and steaming coffee. Character holds mug with both hands and takes first sip. Motion finally slows. Sunlight now fills most of the kitchen. He glances toward window.

**CAMERA:** slow controlled dolly backward.
**MUSIC:** percussion disappears; piano + warm guitar remain.
**SFX:** coffee sip, ceramic movement, soft breath, distant birds, quiet city ambience.

---

### 0:25–0:30 — SHOT 12 / NEW WEEK

Final cinematic anime hero frame from slightly below countertop height. Character stands beside the large window, coffee in one hand and breakfast plate in the other. He looks toward the bright morning city.

No big grin. Just a small expression that says:

**ready.**

Golden rim light wraps hair, face and pale-blue shirt. Kitchen falls into warm softer shadow behind him.

**CAMERA:** slow low-angle push into clean three-quarter profile; hold almost still for final 1–1.5s.
**MUSIC:** rhythm strips away; sustained piano/guitar resolution; uplifting final chord near 29s.
**SFX:** birds, subtle city ambience, fabric movement, mug detail, quiet inhale.

## CONTINUITY

Across all shots maintain exactly:

same character identity, face, hairstyle, proportions, wardrobe, smartwatch, kitchen geometry, appliance placement, window direction and premium mature anime-film rendering.

Camera and editing energy should progress:

**calm compositions → tactile macros → faster rhythmic cutting → hero food moments → slow cinematic resolution.**

Sound progression:

**quiet kitchen → rhythmic appliance/food percussion → energetic montage → silence and morning ambience.**

Final emotional feeling:

**Monday morning, fully charged. A new week just opened up.**

[Hybrid 🏃🏾 @markfenner]

We live in bubble on this app.

A lot of us are running agents, building workflows, creating skills, comparing harnesses, connecting tools, and etc..

Go ask one of your friends what Kimi or GLM is. They will probably look at you like a madman.

OpenAI’s consumer research found that 49% of ChatGPT messages are still people asking for advice or information.

Another 40% are requests to complete a task.

Meanwhile, 70.2% of sampled Codex users had assigned at least one task estimated to take a person more than an hour.

I’m sure your timeline makes it feel like everyone is running agents and orchestrating workflows.

They are not.

Do not confuse being surrounded by early adopters with being late.

You are early. Keep learning and keep building.

AI companions are going to get so good, they'll be commonplace by 2030.

There wont even be shame because all the people shaming wont have digital access to those to shame.

People will most likely have many AI agents to prevent exposure to that level of judgement or shaming.

[David Shapiro (L/0) @DaveShapi]

You think AI is destroying art and meaning? You're recycling the same tired arguments from history.

Socrates feared writing would destroy memory. Victorian elites panicked about "penny dreadful" novels corrupting society. Critics claimed photographs would kill painting, radio would ruin orchestras, and printing presses would undermine aristocratic control of knowledge. They were all wrong.

Erik Hoel's recent article about a "semantic apocalypse" is just the latest permutation of this neo-Luddite rhetoric, dressed up in fancy language but fundamentally no different from Victorian complaints about "soulless" new media.

The evidence contradicts these doomsday predictions. We have more paintings now than before cameras. Theater thrives alongside cinema. Live music remains powerful despite streaming – just look at how Freddie Mercury captivated 1.9 billion people at Live Aid.

The "semantic satiety" argument falls apart too. Have you stopped listening to Spotify because music lost its impact? Abandoned novels because there are too many? Of course not. That's not how humans work.

When I created an AI song commemorating my beloved dog Tank after he passed, it wasn't meaningless – my wife and I cried together listening to it. It pointed directly to our cherished memories of him, creating genuine meaning through new technology.

The final irony: these neo-Luddite critics are doing exactly what they accuse AI of – parroting old ideas without originality. They're being edgy for clout while contributing nothing meaningful, using soulless rhetoric for attention.

Like tears in rain, their recycled arguments will be forgotten while AI continues to amplify human creativity and democratize access to knowledge, just as every revolutionary technology before it.
