Can't wait to see everyone again, is it time yet?

Hey Vibe Code Guild community, Quick update from the animation side of things. Vietfilm AI Talent 2026 wrapped this month, and the results are official now: I landed in the Top 16 best AI creators. Not Top 4, so no cash prize this round. I'm not upset about that part. What actually sits well with me is that I placed there without training hard for it, which tells me the AI Animation reps I put in earlier this year are still holding up. That result pushed me toward a decision. I'm going deeper into AI Animation, but from the business side this time, not just the craft side. There are a lot of AI creators and artists out there still stuck on how to turn their work into income, and a lot of newcomers who freeze before they even start because a single AI animation video can get expensive fast. That's the gap I want to work on next. Second thing, sorry for missing the last few calls. Tomorrow I'll likely be out again too. I'm heading to an event where FTT Leather (a local clothing brand) is sponsoring me a Michael Jackson outfit, then going straight into a review shoot with the same fashion team. I'll still swing by Friday Night Vibe for 20-30 minutes. I you are interested, I'd like to show you the outfit and do a short Michael Jackson dance in it (the jacket's built for that kind of movement). If you're around, I'd appreciate the support, it only takes 5-10 minutes of your Friday night. Last thing. Links to the two rounds I mentioned before are below. Round 2 was the trailer challenge, Round 3 was Episode 1 built off that trailer. If you have five minutes, a watch, a like, or a comment helps more than it looks like it would. Round 2 (trailer): https://x.com/tumichaelonline/status/2086132796024832480?s=20 Round 3 (Episode 1): https://x.com/tumichaelonline/status/2089032169750741313?s=20 If anyone has questions about the AI Animation workflow, drop them below.

What an incredible session! Amazing people joining the group every day and some really inspiring projects and stories @Larry Seyer your audio production app, and your story of being able to create a platform to liberate all of your lost audio samples was incredible @David Hacker crushed it with two amazing projects. That game platform really has the potential to be massive I’m not sure how to tag Bev, but her idea of using AI to help with conflict resolution was insanely creative. Thank you to @Rev Paul for helping her find the group So many more of you made tonight an amazing call. I’m truly inspired and humbled that all of you have found your way into this community Thank you to everyone who helped make this the best Friday Night Vibes yet, here’s to many more!

I got the VIP Call Brain running, launched, and available at: https://brain.vibecodeguild.com/ I'll be DMing access codes to everyone in the VIP level. This allows you to sign in and create an account. It will ask you about your username, please just copy/paste your username from skool so I know who is who. I have no idea what anyone's email address is, so I'm just managing this manually for now. You should be able to search for topics, and it will show you exactly where we discussed that in recent videos, and you can click right to that moment and watch it. It's V1, looking forward to getting feedback and continuing to improve it!

I've been fighting with google implementation all day to get our searchable call brain up and running, but in the meantime, here's what we talked about today: Summary The meeting explored video pipeline infrastructure and hardware architectures alongside critical discussions regarding AI literacy and adoption. Infrastructure and Copyright Challenges The team established a video recording pipeline for database creation. Technical Advancements and Training Participants analyzed Mixture of Experts models and hardware evolution from GPUs to ASICs. It was decided that document scanners are necessary to improve parsing accuracy for receipt data. AI Literacy and Adoption The group emphasized the need to frame AI as a practical utility rather than technical novelty.
