🚨 Another great AI creative tool bites the dust. And this one actually hurts.
⚠️ If you use Reve @reve , download your images and videos NOW.
📅 Creation tools shut down September 27.
💾 Downloads remain available until October 31, 2026.
Reve was more than another AI image generator. It was one of those tools that felt genuinely built by people who understood what creators were trying to do. 🎨⚡
And honestly, it’s a shame to see it go. 😔
Once again, the big players seem to find the geniuses building something special… and take them with them. 🧠🏃♂️
I just hope the creativity, ideas and technology behind Reve don’t disappear — and that we eventually get to experience something even better from that talent at OpenAI. 🤞
👀 Creators: back up your Reve work before it’s gone.
What other AI creative tool would you hate to see disappear?

Google just dropped Gemini 4 Pro beat Astra & Fable 5.1.
- the first checkpoint show.
- It’s expected to beat Astra and Fable 5.1.
- October launch is the main window.
- Late September is still possible.
- Google’s own exec framed the massive AI spend as a bet on RSI not a claim that they’ve already hit it.
bitchat now has:
- photos/audio notes in bluetooth mesh
- better routing algorithm for stabler and longer range meshes
- uses @torproject's arti framework for speed and reliability
- audited by 3rd party security group and addressed all findings

Sentiment #Bitcoin in Italia oggi (12/08/2025): Positivo al 70% (rally post-halving 2024, ETF globali, dichiarazioni bullish), cauto al 20% (attesa CPI USA, tasse al 42%), bearish 10% (volatilità, correzioni). Dal boom 2017 al recupero attuale: adozioni istituzionali in vista, ma equilibrio fragile. Monitora flussi ETF e riserve BTC!

#CryptoItalia #Blockchain #BTCChi l'avrebbe detto che Bitcoin, il 'denaro del futuro', dipenda più da un dato CPI americano che da un espresso italiano?
AI OVERPRODUCTION
China seeks to commoditize their complements. So, over the following months, I expect a complete blitz of Chinese open-source AI models for everything from computer vision to robotics to image generation.
Why? I’m just inferring this from public statements, but their apparent goal is to take the profit out of AI software since they make money on AI-enabled hardware. Basically, they want to do to US tech (the last stronghold) what they already did to US manufacturing. Namely: copy it, optimize it, scale it, then wreck the Western original with low prices.
I don’t know if they’ll succeed.
But here’s the logic:
(1) First, China noticed that DeepSeek’s release temporarily knocked ~$1T off US tech market caps.
(2) Second, China’s core competency is exporting physical widgets, more than it is software.
(3) Third, China’s other core competency is exporting things at such massive scale that all foreign producers are bankrupted and they win the market. See what they’re doing to German and Japanese cars, for example.
(4) Fourth, China is well aware that it lacks global prestige as it’s historically been a copycat. With DeepSeek, becoming #1 in AI is now something they actually consider possibly achievable, and a matter of national pride.
(5) Fifth, DeepSeek has gone viral in China and its open source nature means that everyone can rapidly integrate it, down to the level of local officials and obscure companies. And they are doing so, and posting the results for praise on WeChat.
(6) Finally, while DeepSeek was obscure before recent events, it’s now a household name, and the founder (Liang Wengfeng) has met both with Xi but also the #2 in China, Li Qiang. They likely have unlimited resources now.
So, if you put all that together, China thinks it has an opportunity to hit US tech companies, boost its prestige, help its internal economy, and take the margins out of AI software globally (at least at the model level).
They will instead make their money by selling inexpensive AI-enabled hardware of increasing quality, from smart homes and self-driving cars to consumer drones and robot dogs.
Basically, China is trying to do to AI what they always do: study, copy, optimize, and then bankrupt everyone with low prices and enormous scale.
I don’t know if they’ll succeed at the app layer. But it could be hard for closed-source AI model developers to recoup the high fixed costs associated with training state-of-the-art models when great open source models are available.
Last, I agree it’s surprising that the country of the Great Firewall is suddenly the country of open source AI. But it is consistent in a different way, which is that China is just focused on doing whatever it takes to win — even to the point of copying partially-abandoned Western values like open source, which seemed like the hardest thing to adopt.
On that point: they did build censorship into the released DeepSeek AI models, but in a manner that’s easily circumvented outside China. So, you might conclude they don’t really care what non-Chinese people are saying outside China in other languages, so long as this doesn’t “interfere with China’s internal affairs.”
Anyway —this is an area I’ve been watching, and my reluctant conclusion is that China is getting better at software faster than the West is getting better at hardware.
