soon: unlimited access to GPT-5 - for free this will have big implications for creative work 4o is already a great model (currently under-appreciated imo) - I use it for creative work / writing / ideation every day looking forward to 4.5 - and eventually unlimited access to 5 🤯

I’m terrible at math and never coded in my life Less than 2 days, I’ve hit 100 GitHub commits 🤯 I’m video editor / producer, savvy with software but never a dev - all I need to become a developer is ChatGPT canvas with 4o, o3-mini-high + 3.5 sonnet with Cursor I was streamlining a workflow, realized the fastest solution was to build my own creative software. I’ve finished and it’s working great. I’ve deployed it just for internal use at my production co with GitHub pages, added it as a web app to my dock. Progress is happening SO quickly.

Runway’s AI can take a horizontal video and turn it into vertical (or the other way around) It actually generates new video to fill the frame, not just crop or stretch. I made a quick tutorial showing how it works if you’re curious

AI animation with Runway Act-One... in my new tutorial for Creative Workflow Lab subscribers, I create a 10-second film featuring two characters, each with a unique voice from Eleven Labs. I've also added B-roll from OpenAI's Sora.

Reel Farm by @fun is actually one of the most forward-thinking AI video production tools out there right now. I don’t use it for “full automation” but it can get an edit 90% done (at least for a specific style of short form video) YouTube video coming soon where I breakdown how I’m starting to use it… 👀

🚨 buzzwords in the AI space that are losing meaning… •Game-changer •Revolutionizes •Cutting-edge •Disrupts •Wild, crazy, insane, etc To be fair, AI does frequently embody these words. I’m guilty of using these - because the tech honestly is GAME-CHANGING 🚨😱
