Music Video - Created with Grok & Suno & ME!
The full music Video! ! Lyrics below [Verse 1] We learned to type on clattering keys, Watched floppy disks turn into dreams. Built stories by hand, now the world’s gone fast— But wisdom don’t fade, it just learns to last. [Pre-Chorus] They say the bots are coming for the pen, But we’re the ones who taught ‘em what to send. [Chorus] We’re ridin’ the new wave, not goin’ under, Finding our voice in the digital thunder. We’ve seen the dawn of a thousand tomorrows— Still got fire, still got stories to follow. We’re writing with AI, and we’re still alive— Ridin’ the new wave, keepin’ the dream in drive. [Verse 2] We’ve weathered trends, we’ve buried fears, Wrote through love and loss and years. Now pixels paint what ink once drew, But a human heart still beats the truth. [Pre-Chorus] This isn’t the end, it’s just the next page— Every revolution needs a little gray sage. [Chorus] We’re ridin’ the new wave, not goin’ under, Finding our voice in the digital thunder. We’ve seen the dawn of a thousand tomorrows— Still got fire, still got stories to follow. We’re writing with AI, and we’re still alive— Ridin’ the new wave, keepin’ the dream in drive. [Bridge] We don’t drown—we surf the storm, Turn the fear into art, make the new world warm. You can’t code soul, you can’t fake time— We’ve got heart, and that’s still prime. [Final Chorus] We’re ridin’ the new wave, hand on the helm, Charting our course through this brave new realm. From typewriter ghosts to the clouded skies, We rise, we write, we digitize. We’re writing with AI—and we’re still alive, Ridin’ the new wave, keepin’ the dream in drive. We're ridin' the new wave, keeping our mind alive We’re the authors who still arrive. Every line a bridge, every word a spark— Lighting up the modern dark. Ride the new wave, proud and clear— We’re still learning, and we’re still here.

@Keith Weinzerl Yes, for almost all of them. I stitched this one together in Capcut - and experimented with Veo and Flow for a few of the videos, which is why they aren't quite the same.
You're Invited: I’m going LIVE and getting technical this time. 👀
LIVE: From Prompt to Video — My AI Video Workflow with VEO, Grok Imagine & ChatGPT Starting at: 12 pm Noon EST I’m finishing the AI videos I’ve been working on and showing you exactly how I’m creating them — including how I use my avatar in VEO, why I like her so much, and how I’m now using ChatGPT as part of my workflow with Grok Imagine. I’ll also talk about the real cost of these tools, what I like and don’t like about each one, and why I’m probably going to simplify my setup and stick mostly with Grok Imagine going forward. This live is less about writing the book and more about what comes next: How do you turn your stories, characters, ideas, and author brand into content people actually want to watch? We’ll cover: - My current AI video workflow - Creating videos with an AI avatar - VEO vs. Grok Imagine - How I’m using ChatGPT to help create video content - What these tools actually cost - What I’m keeping — and what I may stop paying for - Turning books and scenes into Shorts and Reels - Creating B-roll and story-based video clips - Keeping a consistent character/avatar across content - What’s working, what isn’t, and what I’m still figuring out And yes — I’ll be actually working on videos LIVE, so you’ll see the process instead of just hearing me talk about it. If you’re an author who wants to use AI for more than just writing, come hang out. https://youtube.com/live/X3dbim1DaBk?feature=share Bring questions. I’m experimenting right along with you. 💗 Stay AI Positive.

I'm having Grok, Claude & Chat (Astra) Build me the same Writing Tool
Based on the same prompts. It's fascinating to me how differently they all interpret it - and how deep I have to go to untangle some messes while others just seem to understand what I wanted. But they all fix on the go really well. At least so far. We've got: 1. Story Desk built by Claude 2. The Boss Desk built by Chat GPT 3. The Author Engine built by Grok Build Out of all of them, only Grok Build thought to put in a sample of what to do. I'm gonna go live and play with them on Wednesday on my YouTube channel. BUT I need questions that I should be asking them from a Tech person's POV - not a writers. It seems to be hitting all the points I want it to hit - and I'm able to fix it - connect to API keys for everything I want. What am I missing??

@Chris Winters I think you're right because my Grok is super friendly, hard working and always quotes sources when giving me information. 😁
How Effective Altruism (And Anthropic) control the Media
People talk about fake news and conspiracies, but Effective Altruism is aggressively placing their agents inside of the mainstream media outlets to control the narrative about AI, and they're not even hiding it. They literally brag about it in public. Do you think China knows they've placed agents in their media as well? I wonder if Trump and Xi talked about an AI Doomsday Cult from Berkeley infiltrating Chinese media or not... As always, it's the same pool of money controlled by Anthropic's seed investors, and Dario's brother in law. They're doing it right out in the open. https://vibecodeguild.substack.com/p/how-effective-altruism-infiltrated?r=706kcp&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I'm gonna get in trouble for this, but as someone who grew up inside a religion that constantly preached out there were 'demons' inside everything and everyone was out to get us, I just don't give a shit anymore. I know they're out there. I know they're going to try to kill us. Have they? Not yet. I guess I just started mistrusting what people said and what they did a long time ago. So if they create something that I can manipulate for my own uses, I'm gonna use it. I grew up scared of my own shadow, convinced the apocalypse was around every corner. I had nightmares that seemed so real I was convinced I was having visions of the future. Horrible things. Then I got pretty sick and have stared death in the face a few times. Enough so I decided I just don't care about all the stupidity preached in the world anymore. So they're out to get us. So what. What's the worse that could happen? They kill me? Great. I've survived that enough that I'm at peace with it and have faith that the afterlife might just be another life. Heresy, I know. People are fucked up and evil. It's a fact and there's nothing any of us are going to do to change that shit. It's good to be aware so you don't go into your adulthood as naive as I was thinking that my religion was the only way I would be 'safe'. Then the church elders betrayed me and I realized they were all just men who didn't truly follow the God they preached about. We are lied to every single day about pretty much everything. Don't trust your lying eyes. You can't! So all you can really do is decide for yourself what lines you're willing to cross and what you're willing to live with.

@Shane McGrath Thanks - it's why I listen to what you're saying, pretty sure you're right, but I'm just not sure how much I care. Doesn't help that I'm running on fumes right now! LOL Probably adding to my 'attitude problem.'
