AI slop is different from AI microdramas is different from AI films.
These are now increasingly distinct categories. Confusing them with each other is missing what's happening.

AI will transform the video game market faster than it will transform Hollywood. The video game industry, being closer to software and with less layers between the creatives and and the consumers, has infinite potential to morph and and accelerate. The entertainment industry, on the other hand, has multiple levers to resist change.
Gaming has become a corporatized industry that often takes years to churn out mediocre, woke, and worst of all, un-fun video games. But using AI, indie developers are now turning classic games into delightfully absurd new creations.
You can now 360 no-scope a Creeper while doing a kickflip. (Or in simpler terms, one developer combined Minecraft, Call of Duty, and Skate 3 into one.)
Another AI modder, @p_e_cooper, took Call of Duty: World at War’s Zombies mode and added Wii Bowling, rock-paper-scissors, and a DJ booth.
Is this a new golden age of gaming, or will corporate giants ruin all the fun again?

first AI came for the artists, and I did not speak out - because i was not an artist
then AI came for the software engineers, and I did not speak out - because i was not a software engineer
then AI came for the yodelers - and by then, there was no one left to speak for me
I don't miss being a kid because I don't miss being that stupid.
Problem: AI makes me feel that stupid.

Because of agents, imessage and whatsapp have lost their value for me as email and slack have agent visibility so I'd rather talk to people on those medium. The irony is I just want to get more on calls with people to talk but I don't want to text people anymore because I'm inundated.

People saying my last post is vague.
No. I don't have any secrets or have any predictions or NDA's that I'm violating. I'm literally just watching the last crop of films that are publicly available on Youtube, Bilibili, Tiktok, and Instagram and reading the tea leaves.
This is what I'm seeing:
* Quality of AI video has skyrocketed to new exponential heights
* Thus unlocking a whole new set of creators from around the world at massive scale and volume
As a result, I don't think anyone can claim to have a complete and total view of what is the best. The volume will soon exceed your capacity to watch everything. We are going to increasingly see content that is NOT slop, but VERY high quality and continuing to increase in quality as AI takes up more of the workload of editing, cinematography, storytelling, etc.
There is likely no predictive model of what the world looks like when these things become more and more true. Youtube is something we are still grappling with the depth, scale, cultural impact, and just sheer enormity. AI pouring even more gas on that fire.
Who knows what this means for brands? Ads? Hollywood? Video games? Creator economy? etc. It's nearly impossible to predict.
So if you are in the AI video industry, and you just raised a bunch of money, how long before you host a film making contest? And is that the only path to growth in this era where content is marketing and marketing leads to subscriptions?

I’ve seen so many AI video editing agent startups lately, which means that feature is inevitably coming to every major player in the space within the next 3-6 months. This reminds me of node-based workflows at the end of last year.

I love the innovation and competition, but I do think there's a Streisand effect going on with Higgsfield. The more people mention Higgsfield or seek to counteract it, the more the Higgsfield brand becomes ever more present/sustaining in the ecosystem. The question for me on the practical side is trying all these tools out and comparing them to each other, but I'm unclear how the rest of the industry is keen to do so.
On the top professional end of the picture, they're trying everything and it's a balance of the top tools vs the cheapest generations.
We just made a 5x cheaper Higgsfield.
Voyager gives you AI video models like Seedance 2.5 at half Higgsfield’s price.
More importantly, it cuts wasted generations.
Users get final outputs in 2–3x fewer API calls.
Half the price per generation. A fraction of the generations.
