Been quiet for a while. Just watching... A few observations from the AI creative space lately: The people with the most to say usually have the least to show. But they'll be the first to criticize. Every week there's a new expert. Somehow none of them were around two years ago. Opportunists don't build tools. They build personal brands on top of other people's tools and other people's talent. The grifters have gotten really good at repackaging what the builders figured out first. And the pretentiousness? Nauseating. Nobody who's actually shipping has time to be that precious about it. I made feature films with AI before most people were even trying. Not all of them landed. I learned more from the ones that didn't than any thread could teach you. However, it's more work than I've seen most people even attempt to make. Now I'm heads down on distribution, gaming, immersive experiences, and world models. The stuff that will still matter when the hype moves on. Talk is cheap. Rendering isn't.
