Building in AI & Video

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

Good read.

[Mark Zuckerberg @finkd]

I believe everyone should have access to superintelligence, and I wrote a long piece about Meta's philosophy and values for building a positive future for everyone. https://t.co/2ZoNZXZ39T

@jamierawsthorne This one is wild!

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

@rsencion I actually just got the Macbook Pro M5 and between the time I ordered and picked it up, they raised prices! I locked in at the original price fortunately haha

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

When it comes to devices, I've never regretted paying for more RAM, storage, speed, etc.

But I have definitely regretted cheaping out and going for less...

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

This is concerning.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

75% of Americans fear AI. In China, 80% are excited about it. We are facing a narrative gap, and are losing the fight for it.

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

@timecaptales He's so cool!

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

Hell yeah

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

It has become abundantly clear that America’s Shenzhen *IS* being built here.

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

Woah. Love this story.

[Ole Lehmann @itsolelehmann]

ok this might be the most aggressively american startup i’ve ever seen 🇺🇸

> they’re trying to build nuclear reactors 100x faster than the nuclear industry ever has

> the founder isaiah taylor grew up on food stamps + dropped out of high school at 16

> his great-grandfather literally worked on the manhattan project

> generations later isaiah built a working nuclear reactor before turning 28 and named it “ward” after him

> the pentagon used 3 military c-17s to airlift the reactor 700 miles from california to utah in a first-of-its-kind mission

> the company culture is hardcore americana

> they hold bible studies, offer raw milk, love fast cars + have a cigar lounge

> plus 4 gigantic patriotic paintings of columbus discovering america, the pilgrims arriving on the mayflower, the signing of the declaration + the constitutional convention

> they sued the nuclear regulatory commission for slowing them down

> valar's end goal is to build the same reactor thousands of times across nuclear “gigasites” to make energy 10x cheaper

> then they'll use that energy to pull carbon out of thin air and turn it into oil and gas for supreme energy abundance

> just raised $1b at a $6b valuation to scale it

> if valar pulls it off, isaiah’s family will have helped usher in both of america’s atomic ages

yeah this gets my vote for most badass startup of the year

Data brokers scrape your personal info and sell it — home address, phone number, even your family's details. Deleting yourself from one site doesn't fix it either, since your data pops right back up months later. 🔗 https://t.co/izu1COUdYZ #Incogni #incognireview2026

@rsencion Haha fair. Yea I bought one ETH in 2017 and have picked up some BTC over the years but unfortunately it hasn't become what was promised and really seems to be unraveling now with the Michael Saylor news. Will be cool to see what Cloudflare does!

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

@higgsfield I concur with all the other comments. This is a super shady practice. Why do this? Free...if you pay.

My submission for the #directorscup from @MachineCinemaAI

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

By the end of this year, the frontier video models will be generating multi-minute outputs off single prompts. By the end of next (2027), entire films.

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

Seedance is already my go-to. This is a significant level up

[ElevenCreative @ElevenCreative]

Seedance 2.5 is coming soon to ElevenCreative.

Create up to 30-second video generations, with support for up to 50 references in a single prompt. Stay tuned. #Seedance

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

@rsencion @Jared_Seidel_ Love this 👏

The image I used to create my character is derived from an actual photo of me circa 21 years old as a candidate at USMC OCS.

Higgsfield Filmmaker Grant: Why I Want It

I want to master the craft of storytelling with AI video. My biggest limitation so far (including on this project) has been credits.

[Ross Zeiger @ross_zeiger]

In total, I spent roughly 6 hours on this and over 2,000 credits in @Higgsfield.

If I get accepted for the grant, I look forward to many, many more creations!
