a horror movie made for $750,000 is about to become one of the most profitable films ever made.
Obsession - shot in 20 days in Alabama by a 26-year-old YouTuber with no stars in the cast - is now eyeing a $250 million+ box office finish. that's a return north of 300 times its budget. it's already the highest-grossing release in Focus Features history.
now look at what the industry spent that same money on:
- Joker: Folie a Deux - ~$200 million budget. a punchline.
- Mickey 17 - ~$118 million. forgotten in a month.
- The Mandalorian & Grogu - $165 million, 7 years, the entire Lucasfilm machine. it's currently losing the weekday box office to... Obsession.
Hollywood keeps insisting you need $200 million, a pre-sold IP, and a marketing budget the size of a small country to make a hit. then a guy with a camera, a wish-granting toy, and three weeks in Alabama outearned all of them on a rounding error of their catering bill.
the most profitable movie of the year cost less than a single second of screen time in the average blockbuster. turns out audiences never wanted the budget. they wanted a good movie.
at #Brandcast today, @YouTube sold brands AI ad products built from creators' organic content while those same creators get demonetized for "inauthentic content" and training they can't opt-out of.
thanks @nealmohan
You think the negative perception of AI is bad now?
OpenAI and Anthropic are minting millionaires and billionaires, yet the average American can't participate in the greatest value creation in human history.
Only top tier VCs and wealthy/connected individuals are going to benefit from AI company growth. Once these companies go public, most of the value will have already been captured.
We should allow and encourage all Americans to invest in lower-risk private companies. The rules need to change.
Mark my words, this will come back to bite us.
@join_veri@MYSTIC7 Build your empire, not someone else’s.
The decisions you make for building your self scale stack will have many lagging indicators. Make sure you know whose empire you’re building , folks.
VERY IMPORTANT: sophisticated social engineering attacks with deep fakes using high signal and credibility identities in crypto from well-known companies & projects, like @SeiNetwork@AlloraNetwork@Aptos and individuals like @averyching@jayendra_jog@nickemmons
this is still actively happening this morning with deep fakes of @michaelh_0g and @0G_labs
Please share so the people being used can get take down requests in, and this sophisticated scam can be taken down and hopefully criminally prosecuted.

@singularityhack "participation in upside gets unbundled from employment and from membership in a large institution. This means you don't need a 5,000-person firm to throw a 5,000-person punch."
you are the new unit of scale. that's why you win.
