    Listen to this AI generated song featuring Drake & The Weeknd. It goes so damn hard. It's by "Ghostwriter977" on TikTok and it's blowing up on socials + streaming platforms. UMG, which controls around 1/3 of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban

    And just like that. The music industry is forever changed. I recorded a verse, and had a trained AI model of Kanye replace my vocals. The results will blow your mind. Utterly incredible.

    The future of AAA open-world games. This is a Skyrim VR mod by YouTuber 'Art from the Machine' which lets you talk to NPCs using ChatGPT. NPCs have their own tailored prompts based on their unique backgrounds which allows ChatGPT to roleplay as that character. There's also a

    In 2013, this scene was pure science fiction. In 2025, it was a documentary of last week.

    Wild times. Nano Banana 2 apparently leaked for a few hours today on some platforms, and the limited results by a small handful of users have been pretty insane. The model was apparently from an uncensored, slightly older checkpoint. When it actually launches it wonโ€™t be this

    Adam Mosseri (Instagram CEO) just explained exactly how the Instagram algorithm works, and how they rank content in stories, feed, reels & explore. The last slides are most important. It's how I've added 500K followers to my accounts in 4 months. Here's what you need to know:

    Holy shit. Without a doubt the most realistic AI images I've ever seen. We are 99.7% of the way to completely indistinguishable-from-reality AI imagery. (You can still see a few flaws when zooming in) This is made with FLUX. Uncanny Valley.

    Correct. A guy named Ghostwriter wrote it, recorded the vocals and had the AI model replace the vox. I made a video explaining the process and doing it myself here:

    It feels like less than 0.1% of people realize that humanoid housekeepers will be entering American homes in 2026. This is Neo, and starting today, he is available for pre-order. Science fiction has once again become a real product. Congratulations to @1x_tech on the
