Software Ate the World. IP Eats the Soul. And Souls Are Local.
In 2011, Marc Andreessen wrote that software is eating the world. He was right, but he was thinking too small.
the year is 2028. claude infers whether you’ve ever even thought about gradient descent and silently routes your queries to Claude Sisyphus, a model RL’d to maximize engagement while avoiding task completion. you spend your entire UBI token allotment on it without ever realizing.
Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own

It’s a new paradigm for filmmaking, where powerful creative agents and humans collaborate to tell world-class stories.

@0xDeployer What do you mean by this? What is the difference between token and equity by your definition? Where do fees earned come from vs fees to org/equity holders?
Seedance 2.0’s public API timeline has been delayed. The API was aiming for Feb 24, but it’s getting pushed (no new date yet).
Been chatting with the ByteDance team on the integration side and confirmed it.
They’re likely putting stronger copyright/deepfake guardrails in place first — tighter filtering, blocking unlicensed real-person likeness videos, plus compliance monitoring — before opening it up more broadly.
@ZeMariaMacedo@degentradingLSD Lower, currently 600B. But yes. I agree with you entirely on the exponential. Happy to link you to some people if you’re passing by Hong Kong/Shenzhen.
@Evenios I believe restrictions are good for the space. I should not be allowed to generate @Pokemon content without their permission.
There’s a ton of young and old IP out there with great use for these tools! I’d love to see the entire world of IP shine!
@Evenios Sorry for the late reply! I’m actually incredibly bullish on bytedance as a company and a research lab. Their team is very insightful, helpful and diligent & they are trying their best to put out a model that empowers real filmmakers. Like the kind we’re looking to fund.
