Introducing Ponder: the agentic video editor.
It’s a new paradigm for filmmaking, where powerful creative agents and humans collaborate to tell world-class stories.
We're also announcing our $2.5M pre-seed, led by Liu Jiang from Sunflower (@seedtosunflower), with @Joshuabrowder and @MattHartman.
Joined by @levie (Box), @emerywells (Frame), @JaredLeto, @CommaCapital, the @nyuniversity venture fund, @cory, @darian314, @shiffman, and many more incredible founders, investors, and creators.
For anyone that needs to see this.
Stop hating,
Find something good to put your energy into and build something great.
Love yourself.
Rate yourself.
Respect yourself.
We all die soon.
Most creative industries use youth as a great catalyst
Whereas though writing is unique in that you categorically get better with age.
You read more. You learn more. You have more lived experiences.
Also why people who live adventurous lives have the best writing.
You watch as the old world of media crumbles before your eyes, this behemoth built on scarcity and impossible budgets, on endless armies of exhausted talent working under fluorescent lights. You remember how it used to be. Years waiting for the right people to say yes, for funding to materialize, for distribution deals to align like reluctant stars. But now you stand at the edge of transformation, watching as small bands of warriors accomplish in weeks what once demanded years. They move like water through the cracks of the old system, unburdened by legacy, armed with nothing but talent and new tools that would have seemed like magic just years ago. You see them clearly: the unknown creatives becoming emperors overnight. Small teams achieving what once required the resources of small nations, the best ideas rising not because they had the deepest pockets or the strongest handshakes, but because they are simply the best ideas. The future unfolds before you like a map being redrawn in real time, and you understand that there will be nowhere to hide, no excuses to make. Only stories waiting to be told by those brave enough to embrace this new world.
Every person who works in tech needs at least 5 nontech friends to interact with closely on a weekly basis so they can understand how the general public actually thinks
I’d advise them to get a better goal.
But if they really want that,
I’d tell them the music industry isnt about music, it’s a group of businesses with business goals, which is profit. Money. Capital.
So to get into it, just be someone who can make them money. Pretty simple.
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
