Oh god. It finally has happened. I am generating AI vids for my day job now. In a regulatory industry. Shit’s gettin wild in 2025!!!

I made this $700,000,000 music video in an afternoon on part of my weed budget. No, this is not 100% AI. I wrote the song, Through The Tempest, and recorded the samples which were then layered and mixed into the song. I curated the custom styling by running thousands of images of my own art to make a custom model. That model was then iterated dozens of times to fine tune details into new models. Then from the final model I ran dozens of images to animate with the help of AI. All of this to create something I'm going to be projecting later tonight downtown bringing all of this work into the real world. Enjoy.

My initial Sora Review: Ok so for my first 10 image 2 video tests and one storyboard test in Sora: 2 Generations failed 2 Content Moderation flags 6 Generations 1 storyboard with really fucked up transitions Of the 6 generations: 2 of them had unexpected hallucinations 2 had unrealistic movements 2 were usable with editing. I started with 10,000 credits and have 5,800 credits remaining. By the end of the day I would be out of credits... on the first day... and would be relying on relaxed mode for the rest of the month. I stand by what I said. For a creator to use this at scale on projects, it's untenable. For $200 a month, it doesn't seem worth it even if it "looks good". Initial offering has gated extended generations and gated variant generations. The "up to" in "up to 500 generations" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting.

Ok here's my hot take of the day.... They're not even hiding it anymore. Sora 2 and Midjourney can pump out South Park episodes, generate Pikachu content ad nauseam, re- create famous movie scenes like James Bond or Chucky or Halloween, replicate Star Wars... all trained on copyrighted material they never licensed. Their defense? "It's parody." "It's transformative." "It's fair use." Bullshit. They're creating the ability to mass-produce content that directly replicates IP worth billions, and they're doing it because they can. Because the US announced no AI regulation for the next 10 years. That's a decade-long free pass to drain every franchise, every character, every world that studios and creators spent fortunes building. By the time lawmakers wake up, these models will have ingested everything. This isn't about innovation or creativity. It's about tech companies exploiting a regulatory vacuum to monetize IP they didn't create, didn't license, and don't own. I already hear the naysayers saying "IP is dead" bla bla bla, but it's usually from the same people who haven't made anything original themselves, so it's like getting medical advice from the garbage man. Parody law was meant to protect artists making commentary not billion-dollar companies building tools that can churn out infinite knockoff content at scale. The 10-year no-regulation promise just gave them the green light to pillage the entire entertainment industry's IP library. I would have hoped AI studios and established creators wouldn't have taken the bait, but so far I've seen people who have touted "AI for Good" and ethical training models immediately flip once they had access to the tools to do so.

I posted on TikTok for the better part of a year. Every day. Minimum of two minute videos. Original content. Max 300 views for months. MONTHS. Hit 1,000 followers. Felt good. 3 weeks ago it all changed. Today I crossed 1 MILLION likes and my follower count exploded. Subscribers have started to come in. And a new discord spawned from my fans and is fan run. I’m flabbergasted and humbled by all the support and asks for more content, merch, etc. Ignore the algorithm. Be authentic. Eventually it will pay off. No more TT posts for a while, just wanted to share a personal success story. Feels good after all that hard work.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but please stop taking constructive criticism from people that haven't constructed shit. And stop taking advice from people that aren't doing what YOU are doing and going where YOU are going. People will always try and give you advice to steer you away from the direction that you're going because they know when you do it the way you do it, it will blow anything that they have ever done out of the water. Do it YOUR fucking way.

AI companies betting the farm on user-generated content, instead of supporting creator generated content, are about to learn a very expensive lesson 🔥 These few companies are so desperate for engagement metrics they're building garbage factories: template-riddled tools that churn out mid content while completely ignoring actual creators who could build something worth a damn. Templates aren't just a fool's errand, they're digital handcuffs designed to keep users trapped in corporate ecosystems instead of empowering creators with real tools. Meanwhile, the people who actually drive culture, monetize audiences, and create meaningful work? They're stuck with amateur-hour AI while Silicon Valley celebrates another million posts of algorithmic slop and chasing last week's viral video. AI-only social platforms are the cherry on top of this disaster sundae; premature vanity projects destined to become echo chambers of mediocre bot content. Stop pandering to casual users who'll abandon your platform in 6 months. Start serving the creators who actually move the needle. The internet doesn't need more content. It needs companies willing to back actual creators with better tools.

For the love of all that is unholy.... stop trying to recreate existing IPs with AI. It's lazy. With all the advancements in technology and all the money spent on AI.... CREATE SOMETHING NEW.

Woke up to some awesome news! Thanks to everyone following me over on the other video site!

I get messages almost daily from new start-ups in the gen ai video space. Everyone “wants to chat” about workflows and process. Fantastic! Here’s a public notice for all those inquiries: my consultant rate is $500 per hour and a one hour minimum booking. As someone who works full-time and a full-time creator, I don’t have time to stop and “chat” to help build your company. If you want consultation, that’s the rate. The existing creative partnerships I have get my attention and time, along with the over 700 clients I manage on a daily basis. If you want me to slice some time out, those are the rates.

This is the shit so many people are sick of. No they didn’t “break” anything. 9:16 selfie videos over human models does absolutely nothing to advance the tech. Stop lying to people with your clickbait bullshit. This is the absolute WORST type of social media engagement farming. Lying to your massive audience so you can collect your check does a disservice to the entire industry and treats your audience with disrespect. Min, I’d be sorry except that I’m not. You rip people’s content you don’t even make yourself as clickbait with misleading content. It’s the one of the worst parts of social media. Just stop. Make something yourself.

This may be an unpopular position but I have zero interest in ever working with real actors. Not because I can't. Not because the budget isn't there. Because I've watched how they move through rooms and the entitlement is structural, not personal. Actors spent decades training to embody characters someone else wrote, in worlds someone else built, wearing clothes someone else designed, delivering lines someone else crafted and somehow they became the talent in the room. The face on the poster. The name above the title. The person the culture decided to worship. Meanwhile the writer who built the universe gets a backend credit. The director negotiates around the actor's 'process.' The crew works 16-hour days so the principal can feel comfortable. We did this. The industry manufactured it, and audiences bought it. Actors aren't just performers anymore; they're a class. And like most classes built on cultural myth rather than merit, they know how to protect the moat. I make films and stories. I build worlds. I craft the character designs, their outfit designs, and the scripts they embody. I don't need to import that hierarchy into my creative process nor do I have a desire to. I'm a builder who stopped genuflecting to a system that was never designed to center people like me anyway. The craft doesn't need the performance industry. It never did. We just let them convince us otherwise.

You wake up one morning, and the internet is down everywhere. On everything. You have some coffee, read a bit, internet is still down. Lunch comes and goes, same with dinner. Internet is still down. Next morning comes, papers read the internet will be down for the foreseeable future. What do you do next?

Your 15 sec clips are cool but wake me up when you have the rest of the story figured out and animated into a legit narrative.

Super stoked to have won First in the Alchemist category at the Escape Awards. Truly humbled to be honored next to so many incredible creators across the board. To be nominated and recognized by your peers is truly extraordinary and you all inspire me every day to find new ways to make you laugh, or think, or groove out. Congrats to all the other winners and nominees and everyone on the platform for an awesome first! Stoked to have a lil moon man of my own!

Going under for some surgery today, will be MIA for a few days. Hope you all have a great rest of the week!

I’ve been pretty MIA the past few days as a close family member passed away on Thanksgiving. I initially didn’t post anything bc I find getting engagement off something like that pretty weird but popped on to check messages and scroll the timeline and it’s filled with hate spewing left and right. Life is truly too short for all the toxicity and it constantly seems like the same people on this site thrive off hate engagements and rage baiting. Some people need to really touch some grass… or have a mental health check-up. Still taking some time this weekend to be with my loved ones. Try to remember what is important in life, it goes by so quickly.
