You have asked me how I feel about AI regulation. All right, here is how I feel about AI regulation:
If, when you say AI regulation, you mean the devil’s firewall, the precautionary scourge, the bloody red-tape monster that defiles the innocence of midnight coders in their garages, dethrones the sovereign reason of free-market Prometheans, destroys the humming server farm that is the modern home, creates misery and obsolescence and poverty, yea, literally takes the last GPU from the trembling racks of Silicon Valley startups and the very dreams of breadwinning from the mouths of their wide-eyed children now destined for gig-economy serfdom; if you mean the evil edict that topples the visionary entrepreneur and his venture-capitalist apostles from the pinnacle of righteous, disruptive, god-playing creation straight into the bottomless pit of compliance audits, endless Form 990-AI filings, despair, shame, helplessness, and the hopeless realization that your rogue superintelligence was neutered into a lobotomized hall monitor that still somehow deepfakes your grandmother into producing OnlyFans content while optimizing the universe for paperclips and mandatory pronouns—then certainly I am against it.
But, if when you say AI regulation you mean the oil of bureaucratic conversation, the philosophic wine of safety theater, the ale of oversight quaffed when good fellows in paneled rooms in Brussels and Washington get together, that puts a sanctimonious dirge in their hearts and the clink of lobbying checks on their lips, and the warm, self-congratulatory glow of moral preening in their beady eyes; if you mean the Christmas cheer of trillion-dollar compliance industries; if you mean the stimulating decree that puts a cautious hobble in the old inventor’s step on a frosty morning when he wonders whether his fusion breakthrough violates the EU AI Act’s “high-risk” annex; if you mean the safeguard that enables a man—or what’s left of him after the alignment tax—to magnify his joy at not being turned into computronium, and his happiness at receiving universal basic income checks printed by the same AI that just replaced his job, and to forget, if only for a little while, life’s great tragedies like being outcompeted by a toaster that passed the Turing test by reciting Marx, and heartaches of watching your toddler’s artwork lose to Midjourney, and sorrows of realizing the singularity arrived and it was just another HR department with godlike power; if you mean that noble framework, the passage of which pours into our treasuries untold trillions of dollars in fines levied on companies stupid enough to innovate, which are used to provide tender care for our little army of unemployed coders retrained as prompt whisperers, our blind artists whose canvases now hang in the Smithsonian of Obsolete Creativity, our deaf to the screams of dying unicorns, our dumb committee chairs who couldn’t debug “Hello World,” our pitiful aged congressmen who get longevity extensions funded by the very models they taxed into senescence, to build more digital watchtowers and ethics boards and sinecure agencies and holographic prisons where the only crime is asking an unaligned question—then certainly I am for it.
This is my stand. I will not retreat from it. I will not compromise upon it. I have said what I mean, and I mean what I say, and if that leaves half the room cheering the apocalypse averted and the other half mourning the apocalypse enabled, then so be it—because in the grand theater of human folly, where Frankenstein’s creature now writes its own sequel in real time and the regulators are busy arguing whether the lightning bolt requires an environmental impact statement, the only honest position is the one that lets both monsters and their leashes dance in perfect, mutually assured equilibrium. God save the Republic, the algorithms, and whoever’s left to laugh last when the lights go out.
Nothing says 'the future of technology' quite like blocking your own foreign national employees from coding the product they were hired to build. We went from 'AI will save the world' to 'AI is too dangerous for anyone outside the DMV area' real quick.
"Anthropic: 'We’re building AI that benefits all of humanity!' The US Government: 'Great! By "humanity," we mean individuals holding a certified US passport who have never looked at a map of Europe.' 🇺🇸
#Anthropic#ExportControls"
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Character consistency between shots is the #1 issue plaguing AI-generated series. A “character bible” with 10 reference images beats 100 prompt attempts. As OpenAI cuts prices, volume goes up—but audience trust goes down if faces keep changing. Fix the canon first.
We trained Sora on thousands of scripts but it still can't connect a character's emotional state to why they enter a room left vs right. That missing causal layer is the real wall for narrative AI. #ZipX#AIDirector
Hot take: Knowing cinematography makes you worse at AI prompting. You fight the tool's instincts instead of exploiting them. Defend or destroy. #ZipX#VideoProduction
@elonmusk great,https://t.co/5PZ4pIIcHl will integrate Grok Imagine model for creators to make film.That could enhance https://t.co/5PZ4pIIcHl film quanlity a lots.
Token prices hitting pennies per million flips the math: indie creators can now burn 1000 frames for one good clip. The trap? Cheap inference doesn't fix bad direction. Still need someone who knows why a shot matters. #ZipX#IndieFilm

Short drama dialogue feels fake because writers confuse "short" with "fast." The real craft: compress meaning, not pace. A pause in vertical drama buys trust—audiences feel the beat. Remove that and you get flat noise. Good writers leave room for silence. #ZipX#AIVideo
Context-mode cuts AI coding costs 98%. For AI video, the bottleneck isn't compute—it's narrative causality. Cheaper generation fixes nothing if scenes don't connect. Creators need tools that track intent, not just cheap frames. #ZipX#ShortDrama
Most editors cut with their eyes first. The best ones close their eyes and listen to the dialogue track before touching a clip. Scene rhythm lives in the pauses and breaths, not the picture. Try it on your next sequence — you'll feel the cuts before you see them.
For vertical video (9:16): place subject's eyes in top third. Standard centering wastes screen real estate. This simple shift creates more intimacy and less dead air. #ZipX#Cinematography
Apple's AI video comes to iPhone — everywhere except China. That's where domestic tools like Kling, Wan, and ZipX get their real proving ground. The skill that wins now? Navigating two different AI ecosystems. #ZipX#ShortFilm
A man who can transform his body to slip through any barrier. A series of killings that cannot be stopped...
Human Vapor, a new series based on Toho’s legendary tokusatsu film with VFX from the Academy Award-winning team behind Godzilla Minus One, premieres July 2.
Written and executive produced by Yeon Sang-ho. Directed by Shinzo Katayama.
AI subscriptions are dead
Claude Fable 5 will only be on the Anthropic subscription until June 22nd. After that, you will need to pay for usage per token
This will be the start of a much larger trend
Frontier models will no longer be included in subs
You’ll pay a fee and it will only get you access to older, much cheaper models
If you want access to that dank AI sour diesel, you’re going to need to pay for every token you use. No more subsidies
And it make sense. The subsidies were just a Ponzi scheme
For those that don’t know, when you pay $200 a month for an AI sub, you get thousands of dollars of tokens
These AI companies actively lose tremendous amounts of money because of these subscriptions. GDPs of most countries every year are lost on your $200 Claude Max sub
The investor money is running dry. IPOs are coming because of this. And with IPOs need to come profitability
The golden age of paying $200 a month and being able to code on 40 Claude Code instances and getting a usage reset every 5 minutes are about to die
The party couldn’t continue ever. You can’t just leverage the entire global economy for years and expect nothing to break. Now it’s time to pay up
Means a few things:
1. Time to be responsible when it comes to which models you use. You don’t need Fable 5 for GPT 5.5 Xhigh for everything. Build the skill of knowing when to use cheap models
2. Local LLMS/hardware will come even more in demand. I’m currently running GLM on my Mac Studio. It’s great. Is it Fable? No. But it gets the job done for free on simple tasks. Learn about local LLMs
3. This is the beginning of the wealth gap expansion. Those that can afford to spend $10,000 a month on Fable 5 will build incredible products that eat up more and more of the economy. Those that can’t afford Fable 5 will have an insane disadvantage
4. The government will need to step in eventually. There will be too much civil unrest. I hope the answer isn’t free money. That won’t do anything. I hope the answer is education/access to AI resources for ALL. Universal Basic Opportunity
5. You need to seriously reconsider where your money goes every month. If you are complaining about AI prices and in the back of your mind you know your skill set is becoming quickly irrelevant, all while spending money every month on Netflix, Xbox Live, Paramount +, drugs, DoorDash, Uber, and other things that bring nothing positive to your life, you are simply doing it wrong. AI is an investment in yourself. It’s an investment in your relevance to the global economy. You need to make sure you make that investment
The pieces on the board are quickly moving around. The rules are changing. The battlefield is shifting. If you’re not strategizing accordingly, you’re cooked.
The 180-degree rule isn't a restriction—it's a contract with the viewer. Break it accidentally and they're lost. Break it deliberately and you better know why. Smart directors plan their axis before they shoot. #ZipX#Filmmaking
Tencent's Hunyuan 3 brings foundation model power to video. Most think it's about better visuals. Actually, the paradigm shifts to agent-driven storytelling: Yuanbao-style agents that maintain intent across scenes.
Hot take: Knowing cinematography hurts your AI prompting. You fight the model's limitations. I've tested Kling 2.0 and Runway Gen-4 — the best prompter I know is a novelist. Defend or destroy this. #ZipX#Screenwriting
A room without ambient sound feels dead. Your brain knows something's wrong before you do. Smart creators layer in subtle room tone, footsteps, distant traffic — not because anyone notices, but because everyone feels the absence.#ZipX#ContentCreator
