So I type a new prompt and hope. Here's what I learned after months of using Runway, Kling, and Pika: the generation is incredible. The control is nonexistent.

... sparked an interesting thought experiment: how likely is it that we ll see AGI (AI that thinks and learns like a human) within the next five years? The report highlights a fascinating divergence: the view from money vs. the view from science. Money : the probability inferred from trillions poured into data centers, Nvidia chips, and servers. Investors seem to be betting that AGI is inevitable. Science : the probability inferred from research papers and AI development models. Experts are far more ... ... might be ahead of reality. Expect volatility, overpromised outcomes, and valuable lessons along the way. Meanwhile, AI continues reshaping work, attention, and human behavior.

CHIMAD is a digital payments and rewards platform we helped engineer, and I wanted to break down how it was built, what problems mattered most, and which decisions actually made a difference . Hopefully this helps anyone building something similar avoid a few painful mistakes. The Core Problem We Were Solving CHIMAD wasn t born from a cool app idea. It started with a very operational problem. Businesses were using: One system for payments ... ... digital payments and rewards platform that survives real-world usage.

The uncomfortable truth After working directly with funds and angel investors inside Unicorns Club , here s what became clear: Serious investors don t browse catalogs. Some of the investors who receive curated dealflow from us never even created a profile . They ... ... wait for investors to find you Every week, our team reviews hundreds of timelines and manually selects the ones showing meaningful momentum.

... whole product launch experience has been extremely valuable. I had no idea what to expect coming into this (obviously I had plenty of hopes and dreams) and the outcome has produced some very real lessons. First is to know my audience. The feedback I have gotten, while mostly positive all pointed to changing my target for getting the word out and what platforms to begin advertising what I have and showing the potential. Second, the feedback from my early users ... ... good enough as is or really polish this and make it shine.

By the time I met my co-founders, Spencer and Charlie, in college, my storytelling had (I hope) evolved well past my VFX-obsessed origin story. We met on the set of a feel-good student short I directed last fall. But this wasn t backyard filmmaking anymore. We quickly got stuck in a hellish landscape of spreadsheets ... ... into those major players is by appealing to the student filmmakers of today.  So yes, we re priced to support indie filmmakers (starting at $10/month).

You re spending real money hoping to reach real people, but a significant portion of that budget is likely vanishing into a void of invalid, inactive, or irrelevant numbers. This isn't just inefficient; it's a critical leak in your marketing budget. Every message sent to a non-existent WhatsApp user ... ... plug those leaks for good?
