$15,000 has been awarded to director Seve Martinez (@seve_xyz) to produce “Room Tone,” a chamber drama about an actress’s final session at an AI voice-cloning company.
Room Tone will be the first film produced by https://t.co/5fiFRoJjFm and the first step toward a new genre of tech interior cinema.
Production is scheduled for September, with a premiere expected later this year.
I recap my findings from the first cycle below. Cycle 2 will reopen in the Fall. [email protected] will stay open for submission.
AI is moving into the physical world.
We're excited about a new wave of startups rebuilding the systems that power the real world, from education and healthcare to defense, finance, infrastructure, and work itself.

netflix, but with a twist. tell it your mood and movie posters flip and rearrange across a curved 3D wall.
no cookie-cutter categories, no endless rows. just your vibe, visualized. goodflix. built in @GoogleAIStudio ;)
This is very smart.
The charm isn't really about payments, it's about identity.
A few things it does well:
- Makes a boring fintech product visible. Cards live in wallets, this hangs on bags, keys, purses, etc.
- Taps into existing consumer trends (Rhode lip gloss case, Labubu, Stanley cups, bag charms, personalization).
- Adds whimsy to a category that’s spent years competing on features and fees.
- Creates organic distribution. Every “what’s that?” conversation becomes a Cash App referral.
- Gives users a way to signal belonging and participation in the brand.
TLDR: Fintech brands will have to compete on culture soon to keep up. The real winners will be the ones who create products that double as social signals/identity.
as a side note, young people seem to prefer to interact with AI via voice, and old people, and people in the middle like to type. i wonder if this will change.

Diplo's take on AI is spot on, and he's ahead of 99% of creatives, across all disciplines

amazing interview by @DanielSWall
If anyone knows anyone at AheadForm - I would love an intro. I've been trying to get into contact with them for months to no avail - I am obsessed with these robots - this is music video gold ...
kanye’s creative team is s-tier.
the entire setup at sofi stadium references the opening nuclear explosion scene from the 1988 anime film Akira, hinting at his own destruction and rebirth.
storytelling is everything in the age on limitless slop.
Seedance 2.0 made Denji and Reze dance.
Months of manual work turned into hours.
Costs dropped dramatically.
And we’re only on version 2.
The speed of this evolution is unreal.
