Today we're reviewing some of the most controversial ballers in football and combat sports. From Ivan Toney's arrest, to people calling Richarlison lazy, to whether Conor McGregor can actually ball out, we break down the clips and look at what's real and what's just internet noise. We'll also analyse the viral Veo footage and a set of UGC clips to talk about football IQ, movement and mentality. After that we'll jump into live Q&A for Day 25 of 30 Days of Dedication.

How can transportation start-ups help fight climate change, and who are the leaders pushing them forward?  We sat down with Josh Dorfman, host of the podcast 'Supercool', to talk about what he's learned from interviewing the founders behind companies like CityThread, Veo, Brompton Bicycle, Zum, and Upway. And along the way, he unpacks why it's critical to harness 'market momentum' in the battle to decarbonize our cities and make them more livable for everyone — especially as Washington gears up to rewrite our federal transportation laws in 2026. 

What does 2026 hold for indie authors and the publishing industry? I give my thoughts on trends and predictions for the year ahead.

I'm not really active on social media, but you can always see my photos at Instagram @jfpennauthor. 2026 Trends and Predictions for Indie Authors and Book Publishing (1) More indie authors will sell direct through Shopify, Kickstarter, and local in-person events — and more companies like BookVault will offer even more beautiful physical books and products to support this. This trend will not be a surprise to most of you! Selling direct has been a trend for the last few years, but in 2026, it will continue to grow as a way that independent authors become even more independent. The recent Written Word Media survey from Dec 2025 noted that 30% of authors surveyed are selling direct already and 30% say they plan to start in 2026. Among authors earning over $10,000 per month, roughly half sell direct. In my opinion, selling direct is an advanced author strategy, meaning that you have multiple books and you understand book marketing and have an email list already or some guaranteed way to reach readers. In fact, Kindlepreneur reports that 66% of authors selling direct have more than 5 books, and 46% have more than 10 books. Of course, you can start with the something small, like a table at a local event with a limited number of books for sale, but if you want to consistently sell direct for years to come, you need to consider all the business aspects. Selling direct is not a silver bullet. It's much harder work to sell direct than it is to just upload an ebook to Amazon, whether you choose a Kickstarter campaign, or Shopify/Payhip or other online stores, or regular in-person sales at events/conferences/fairs. You need a business mindset and business practices, for example, you need to pay upfront for setup as well as ongoing management, and bulk printing in some cases. You need to manage taxes and cashflow. You need to be a lot more proactive about marketing, as you won't sell anything if you don't bring readers to your books/products. But selling direct also brings advantages. It sets you apart from the bulk of digital only authors who still only upload ebooks to Amazon, or maybe add a print on demand book, and in an era of AI rapid creation, that number is growing all the time. If you sell direct, you get your customer data and you can reach those customers next time, through your email list. If you don't know who bought your books and don't have a guaranteed way to reach them, you will more easily be disrupted when things change — and they always change eventually. Kindlepreneur notes that “45% of the successful direct selling authors had over 1,000 subscribers on their email lists,” with “a clear, positive correlation between email list size and monthly direct sales income — with authors having an email list of over 15,000 subscribers earning 20X more than authors with email lists under 100 subscribers.” Selling direct means faster money, sometimes the same day or the same week in many cases, or a few weeks after a campaign finishes, as with Kickstarter. And remember, you don't have to sell all your formats directly. You can keep your ebooks in KU, do whatever you like with audiobooks, and just have premium print products direct, or start with a very basic Kickstarter campaign, or a table at a local fair. Lots more tips for Shopify and Kickstarter at https://www.thecreativepenn.com/selldirectresources/ I also recommend the Novel Marketing Podcast on The Shopify Trap: Why authors keep losing money as it is a great counterpoint to my positive endorsement of selling direct on Shopify! Among other things, Thomas notes that a fixed monthly fee for a store doesn't match how most authors make money from books which is more in spikes, the complexity and hassle eats time and can cost more money if you pay for help, and it can reduce sales on Amazon and weaken your ranking. Basically, if you haven't figured out marketing direct to your store, it can hurt you.All true for some authors, for some genres, and for some people's lifestyle. But for authors who don't want to be on the hamster wheel of the Amazon algorithm and who want more diversity and control in income, as well as the incredible creative benefits of what you can do selling direct, then I would say, consider your options in 2025, even if that is trying out a low-financial-goal Kickstarter campaign, or selling some print books at a local fair. Interestingly, traditional publishers are also experimenting with direct sales. Kate Elton, the new CEO of Harper Collins notes in The Bookseller's 2026 trend article, “we are seeing global success with responsive, reader-driven publishing, subscription boxes and TikTok Shop and – crucially – developing strategies that are founded on a comprehensive understanding of the reader.” She also notes, “AI enables us to dramatically change the way we interact with and grow audiences. The opportunities are genuinely exciting – finding new ways to help readers discover books they will love, innovating in the ways we market and reach audiences, building new channels and adapting to new methods of consuming content.” (2) AI-powered search will start to shift elements of book discoverability From LinkedIn's 2026 Big Ideas: “Generative engine optimization (GEO) is set to replace search engine optimization (SEO) as the way brands get discovered in the year ahead. As consumers turn to AI chatbots, agentic workflows and answer engines, appearing prominently in generative outputs will matter more than ranking in search engines.” Google has been rolling out AI Mode with its AI Overviews and is beginning to push it within Google.com itself in some countries, which means the start of a fundamental change in how people discover content online. I first posted about GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) in 2023, and it's going to change how readers find books. For years, we've talked about the long tail of search. Now, with AI-powered search, that tail is getting even longer and more nuanced. AI can understand complex, conversational queries that traditional search engines struggled with. Someone might ask, “What's a good thriller set in a small town with a female protagonist who's a journalist investigating a cold case?” and get highly specific recommendations. This means your book metadata, your website content, and your online presence need to be more detailed and conversational. AI search engines understand context in ways that go far beyond simple keywords. The authors who win in this new landscape will be those who create rich, authentic content about their books and themselves, not just promotional copy. As economist Tyler Cowen has said, “Consider the AIs as part of your audience. Because they are already reading your words and listening to your voice.” We're in the ‘organic' traffic phase right now, where these AI engines are surfacing content for ‘free,' but paid ads are inevitably on the way, and even rumoured to be coming this year to ChatGPT. By the end of 2026, I expect some authors and publishers to be paying for AI traffic, rather than blocking and protesting them. For now, I recommend checking that your author name/s and your books are surfaced when you search on ChatGPT.com as well as Google.com AI Mode (powered by Gemini). You want to make sure your work comes up in some way. I found that Joanna Penn and J.F. Penn searches brought up my Shopify stores, my website, podcast, Instagram, LinkedIn, and even my Patreon page, but did not bring up links to Amazon. If you only have an author presence on Amazon, does it appear in AI search at all? Do you need to improve anything about what the AI search brings up? Traditional publishers are also looking at this, with PublishersWeekly doing webinars on various aspects of AI in early 2026, including sessions on GEO and how book sales are changing, AI agents, and book marketing. In a 2026 predictions article on The Bookseller, the CEO of Bloomsbury Publishing noted, “The boundaries of artificial intelligence will become clearer, enabling publishers to harness its benefits while seeking to safeguard the intellectual property rights of authors, illustrators and publishers.” “AI will be deeply embedded in our workflows, automating tasks such as metadata tagging, freeing teams to focus on creativity and strategy. Challenges will persist. Generative AI threatens traditional web traffic and ad revenue models, making metadata optimisation and SEO critical for visibility as we adjust to this new reality online.” (3) The start of Agentic Commerce AI researches what you want to buy and may even buy on your behalf. Plus, I predict that Amazon does a commerce deal with OpenAI for shopping within ChatGPT by the end of 2026. In September 2025, ChatGPT launched Instant Checkout and the Agentic Commerce Protocol, which will enable bots to buy on websites in the background if authorised by the human with the credit card. VISA is getting on board with this, so is PayPal, with no doubt more payment options to come. In the USA, ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Free users can now buy directly from US Etsy sellers inside the chat interface, with over a million Shopify merchants coming soon. Shopify and OpenAI have also announced a partnership to bring commerce to ChatGPT. I am insanely excited about this as it could represent the first time we have been able to more easily find and surface books in a much more nuanced way than the 7 keywords and 3 categories we have relied on for so long! I've been using ChatGPT for at least the last year to find fiction and non-fiction books as I find the Amazon interface is ‘polluted' by ads. I've discovered fascinating books from authors I've never heard of, most in very long tail areas. For example, Slashed Beauties by A. Rushby, recommended by ChatGPT as I am interested in medical anatomy and anatomical Venuses, and The Macabre by Kosoko Jackson, recommended as I like art history and the supernatural. I don't think I would have found either of these within a nuanced discussion with ChatGPT. Even without these direct purchase integrations, ChatGPT now has Shopping Research, which I have found links directly to my Shopify store when I search for my books specifically. Walmart has partnered with OpenAI to create AI-first shopping experiences, and you have to wonder what Amazon might be doing? In Nov 2025, Amazon signed a “strategic partnership” with OpenAI, and even though it's focused on the technical side of AI, those two companies in a room together might also be working on other plans … I'm calling it for 2026. I think Amazon will sign a commerce agreement with OpenAI sometime before the end of the year. This will enable at least recommendation and shopping links into Amazon stores (presumably using an OpenAI affiliate link), or perhaps even Instant Checkout with ChatGPT for Amazon. It will also enable a new marketing angle, especially if paid ads arrive in ChatGPT, perhaps even integrating with Amazon Ads in some way as part of any possible agreement, since ads are such a good revenue stream for Amazon anyway. The line between discovery, engagement, and purchase is collapsing. Someone could be having a conversation with an AI about what to read next, and within that same conversation, purchase a bookwithout ever leaving the chat interface. This already happens within TikTok and social commerce clearly works for many authors. It's possible that the next development for book discoverability and sales might be within AI chats. This will likely stratify the already fragmented book eco-system even more. Some readers will continue to live only within the Amazon ecosystem and (maybe) use their Rufus chatbot to buy, and others will be much wider in their exploration of how to find and discover books (and other products and services). If you haven't tried it yet, try ChatGPT.com Shopping Research for a book. You can do this on the free tier. Use the drop down in the main chat box and select Shopping Research. It doesn't have to be for your book. It can be any book or product, for example, our microwave died just before Christmas so I used it to find a new one. But do a really nuanced search with multiple requirements. Go far beyond what you would search for on Amazon. In the results, notice that (at the time of writing) it does not generally link to Amazon, but to independent sites and stores. As above, I think this will change by the end of 2026, as some kind of commerce deal with Amazon seems inevitable. (4) AI-assisted audiobook narration will go mainstream I've been talking about AI narration of audiobooks since 2019, and over the years, I've tried various different options. In 2025, the technology reached a level of emotional nuance that made it much easier to create satisfying fiction audio as well as non-fiction. It also super-charges accessibility, making audio available in more languages and more accents than ever before. Of course, human narration remains the gold standard, but the cost makes it prohibitive for many authors, and indeed many small traditional publishers, for all books. If it costs $2000 – $10,000 to create an audiobook, you have to sell a lot to make a profit, and the dominance of subscription models have made it harder to recoup the costs. Famous narrators and voice artists who have an audience may still be worth investing in, as well as premium production, but require an even higher upfront cost and therefore higher sales and streams in return. AI voice/audio models are continuing to improve, and even as this goes out, there are rumours on TechCrunch that OpenAI's new device, designed by Jony Ive who designed the iPhone, will be audio first and OpenAI are improving their voice models even more in preparation for that launch. In 2026, I think AI-narrated audio will go mainstream with far-reaching adoption across publishing and the indie author world in many different languages and accents. This will mean a further stratification of audiobooks, with high quality, high production, high cost human narrated audio for a small percentage of books, and then mass market, affordable AI-narrated audio for the rest. AI-narrated audiobooks will make audio ubiquitous, and just as (almost) every print book has an ebook format, in 2026, they will also have an audio format. I straddle both these worlds, as I am still a human audiobook narrator for my own work. I human-narrated Successful Self-Publishing Fourth Edition (free audiobook) and The Buried and the Drowned, my short story collection. I also use AI narration for some books. ElevenLabs remains my preferred service and in 2025, I used my J.F. Penn voice clone for Death Valley and also Blood Vintage, while using a male voice for Catacomb. I clearly label my AI-narration in the sales description and also on the cover, which I think is important, although it is not always required by the various services. You can distribute ElevenLabs narrated audiobooks on Spotify, Kobo Writing Life, YouTube, ElevenReader, and of course your own store if you use Shopify with Bookfunnel. There are many other services springing up all the time, so make sure you check the rights you have over the finished audio, as well as where you can sell and distribute the final files. If they are just using ElevenLabs models in the back-end, then why not just do that directly? (Most services will be using someone's model in the back-end, since most companies do not train their own models.) Of course, you can use Amazon's own narration. While Amazon originally launched Audible audiobooks with Virtual Voice (AVV) in November 2023, it was rolled out to more authors and territories in 2025. If your book is eligible, the option to create an audiobook will appear on your KDP dashboard. With just a few clicks, you can create an audiobook from a range of voices and accents, and publish it on Amazon and Audible. However, the files are not yours. They are exclusive to Amazon and you cannot use them on other platforms or sell them direct yourself. But they are also free, so of course, many authors, especially those in KU, will use this option. I have done some for my mum's sweet romance books as Penny Appleton and I will likely use them for my books in translation when the option becomes available. Traditional publishers are experimenting with AI-assisted audiobook narration as well. MacMillan is selling digital audiobooks read by AI directly on their store. PublishersWeekly reports that PRH Audio “has experimented with artificial voice in specific instances, such as entrepreneur Ely Callaway's posthumous memoir The Unconquerable Game,” when an “authorized voice replica” was created for the audiobook. The article also notes that PRH Audio “embrace artificial intelligence across business operations—my entire department [PRH Audio] is using AI for business applications.” And while indie authors can't use AI voices on ACX right now, Audible have over 100 voices available to selected publishing partnerships, as reported by The Guardian with “two options for publishers wishing to make use of the technology: “Audible-managed” production, or “self-service” whereby publishers produce their own audiobooks with the help of Audible's AI technology.” In 2026, it's likely that more traditional publishers — as well as indie authors — will get their backlist into audio with AI narration. (5) AI-assisted translation will start to take off beyond the early adopters Over the years, I've done translation deals with traditional publishers in different languages (German, French, Spanish, Korean, Italian) for some fiction and non-fiction books. But of course, to get these kinds of deals, you have to be proactive about pitching, or work with an agent for foreign rights only, and those are few and far between! There are also lots of languages and territories worldwide, and most deals are for the bigger markets, leaving a LOT of blue water for books in translation, even if you have licensed some of the bigger markets. I did my first partially AI-translated books in 2019 when I used Deepl.com for the first draft and then worked with a German editor to do 3 non-fiction books in German. While the first draft was cheap, the editing was pretty expensive, so I stopped after only doing a couple. I have made the money back now, but it took years. In 2025, AI Translation began to take off with ScribeShadow, GlobeScribe.ai, and more recently, in November 2025, Kindle Translate boosting the number of translated books available. Kindle Translate is (currently) only available to US authors for English into Spanish and also German into English, but in 2026, this will likely roll out to more languages and more authors, making it easier than ever to produce translations for free. Of course, once again, the gold standard is human translation, or at least human-edited translations, but the cost is prohibitive even just for proof-reading, and if there is a cheap or even free option, like Kindle Translate, then of course, authors are going to try it. If the translation gets bad reviews, they can just un-publish. There are many anecdotal stories of indie success in 2025 with AI-translated genre fiction sales (in series) in under-served markets like Italian, French, and Spanish, as well as more mainstream adoption in German. I was around in the Kindle gold-rush days of 2009-2012 and the AI-translation energy right now feels like that. There are hardly any Kindle ebooks in many of these languages compared to how many there are in English, so inevitably, the rush is on to fill the void, especially in genres that are under-served by traditional publishers in those markets. Yes, some of these AI translated books will be ‘AI-slop,' but readers are not stupid. Those books will get bad reviews and thus will sink to the bottom of the store, never to be seen again. The AI translation models are also improving rapidly, and Amazon's Kindle Translate may improve faster than most, for books specifically, since they will be able to get feedback in terms of page reads. Amazon is also a major investor in Anthropic, which makes Claude.ai, widely considered the best quality for creative writing and translation, so it's likely that is used somewhere in the mix. Some traditional publishers are also experimenting with AI-assisted translation, with Harlequin France reportedly using AI translation and human proofreaders, as reported by the European Council of Literary Translators' Associations in December 2025. Academic publisher Taylor and Francis is also using AI for book translation, noting: “Following a program of rigorous testing, Taylor & Francis has announced plans to use AI translation tools to publish books that would otherwise be unavailable to English-language readers, bringing the latest knowledge to a vastly expanded readership.” “Until now, the time and resources required to translate books has meant that the majority remained accessible only to those who could read them in the original language. Books that were translated often only became available after a significant delay. Today, with the development of sophisticated AI translation tools, it has become possible to make these important texts available to a broad readership at speed, without compromising on accuracy.” (6) AI video becomes ubiquitous. ‘Live selling' becomes the next trend in social sales. In 2025, short form AI-generated video became very high quality. OpenAI released Sora 2, and YouTube announced new Shorts creation tools with Veo 3, which you can also use directly within Gemini. There are tons of different AI video apps now, including those within the social media sites themselves. There is more video than ever and it's much easier to create. I am not a fan of short form video! I don't make it and I don't consume it, but I do love making book trailers for my Kickstarter campaigns and for adding to my book pages and using on social media. I made a trailer for The Buried and the Drowned using Midjourney for images and then animation of those images, and Canva to put them together along with ElevenLabs to generate the music. But despite the AI tools getting so much easier to use, you still have to prompt them with exactly what you want. I can't just upload my book and say, “Make a book trailer,” or “Make a short film.” This may change with generative video ads, which are likely to become more common in 2026, as video turns specifically commercial. Video ads may even be generated specifically for the user, with an audience of one, maybe even holding your book in their hands (using something like Cameos on Sora), in the same way that some AI-powered clothing stores do virtual try-ons. This might also up-end the way we discover and buy things, as the AI for eCommerce and Amazon Sellers newsletter says about OpenAI's Sora app, “OpenAI isn't just trying to build a TikTok competitor. They're building a complete reimagining of how we discover and buy things …” “The combination of ChatGPT's research capabilities and Sora's potential for emotional manipulation—I mean, “engagement”—could create something we've never seen before: an AI ecosystem that might eventually guide you through every type of purchase, from the most considered to the most impulsive.” In 2026, there will be A LOT more AI-generated video, but that also leads to the human trend of more live video. While you can use an AI avatar that looks and sounds like you using tools like HeyGen or Synthesia, live video has all the imperfect human elements that make it stand-out, plus the scarcity element which leads to the purchase decision within a countdown period. Live video is nothing new in terms of brand building and content in general, but it seems that live events primarily for direct sales might be a thing in 2026. Kim Kardashian hosted Kimsmas Live in December 2025 with a 45 minute live shopping event with special guests, described as entertainment but designed to be a sales extravaganza. Indie authors are doing a similar thing on TikTok with their books, so this is a trend to watch in 2026, especially if you feel that live selling might fit with your personality and author business goals. It's certainly not for everyone, but I suspect it will suit a different kind of creator to those who prefer ‘no face' video, or no video at all! On other aspects of the human side of social media, Adam Mosseri the CEO of Instagram put a post on Threads called Authenticity after Abundance. He said, “Everything that made creators matter—the ability to be real, to connect, to have a voice that couldn't be faked—is now suddenly accessible to anyone with the right tools.” “Deepfakes are getting better and better. AI is generating photographs and videos indistinguishable from captured media. The feeds are starting to fill up with synthetic everything. And in that world, here's what I think happens.Creators matter more.” It's a long article so just to pick a few things from it: “We like to talk about “AI slop,” but there is a lot of amazing AI content … we are going to start to see more and more realistic AI content.” I've talked to my Patreon Community about this ‘tsunami of excellence' as these tools are just getting better and better and the word ‘slop' can also be applied to purely human output, too. If you think that AI content is ‘worse' than wholly human content, in 2026, you are wrong. It is now very very good, especially in the hands of people who can drive the AI tools. Back to Adam's post: “Authenticity is fast becoming a scarce resource, …The creators who succeed will be those who figure out how to maintain their authenticity [even when it can be simulated] …” “The bar is going to shift from “can you create?” to “can you make something that only you could create?” He talks about how the personal content on Instagram now is: “unpolished; it's blurry photos and shaky videos of people's daily experiences … flattering imagery is cheap to produce and boring to consume. People want content that feels real… Savvy creators are going to lean into explicitly unproduced and unflattering images of themselves. In a world where everything can be perfected, imperfection becomes a signal. Rawness isn't just aesthetic preference anymore—it's proof. It's defensive. A way of saying: this is real because it's imperfect.” While I partially love this, and I really hope it's true, as in I hope we don't need to look good for the camera anymore I would also challenge Adam on this, because pretty much every woman I know on social media has been sent sexual messages, and/or told they are ugly and/or fat when posting anything unflattering. I've certainly had both even for the same content, but I don't expect Adam has been the target for such posting! But I get his point. He goes on:“Labeling content as authentic or AI-generated is only part of the solution though. We, as an industry, are going to need to surface much more context about not only the media on our platforms, but the accounts that are sharing it in order for people to be able to make informed decisions about what to believe. Where is the account? When was it created? What else have they posted?” This is exactly what I've been saying for a while under my double down on being human focus. I use my Instagram @jfpennauthor as evidence of humanity, not as a sales channel. You can do both of course, but increasingly, you need to make sure your accounts at places have longevity and trust, even by the platforms themselves. Adam finishes: “In a world of infinite abundance and infinite doubt, the creators who can maintain trust and signal authenticity—by being real, transparent, and consistent—will stand out.” For other marketing trends for 2026, I recommend publicist Kathleen Schmidt's SubStack which is mostly focused on traditional publishing but still interesting for indies. In her 2026 article, she notes: “We have reached a social media saturation point where going viral can be meaningless and should not be the goal; authenticity and creativity should. She also says, “In-person events are important again,” and, “Social media marketing takes a nosedive… we have reached a saturation point … What publishers must figure out is how to make their social media campaigns stand out. If they remain somewhat uninspired, the money spent on social ads won't convert into book sales.” I think this is part of the rise of live selling as above, which can stand out above more ‘produced' videos. Kathleen also talks about AI usage. “AI can help lighten the burden of publicity and marketing.” “A lot of AI tools are coming to market to lessen the load: they can write pitches, create media lists for you, send pitches for you, and more. I know the industry is grappling with all things AI, but some of these tools are huge time savers and may help a book more than hurt it.” On that note … (7) AI will create, run, and optimise ads without the need for human intervention Many authors will be very happy about this as marketing is often the bane of our author business lives! As I noted in my 2026 goals, I would love to outsource more marketing tasks to AI. I want an “AI book marketing assistant” where I can upload a book and specify a budget and say, ‘Go market this,' then the AI will action the marketing, without me having to cobble together workflows between systems. Of course, it will present plans for me to approve but it will do the work itself on the various platforms and monitor and optimize things for me. I really hope 2026 is the year this becomes possible, because we are on the edge of it already in some areas. Amazon Ads launched a new agentic AI tool in September 2025 that creates professional-quality ads. I've also been working with Claude in Chrome browser to help me analyse my Amazon Ad data and suggest which keywords/products to turn off and what to put more budget into. I'll do a Patreon video on that soon. Meta announced it will enable AI ad creation by the end of 2026 for Facebook and Instagram. For authors who find ad creation overwhelming or time-consuming, this could be a game-changer. Of course, you will still need a budget! (8) 1000 True Fans becomes more important than ever Lots of authors and publishers are moaning about the difficulty of reaching readers in an era of ‘AI slop' but there is no shortage of excellent content created by humans, or humans using AI tools. As ever, our competition is less about other authors, or even authors using AI-assisted creation, we're competing against everything else that jostles for people's attention, and the volume of that is also growing exponentially. I've never been a fan of rapid release, and have said for years that you can't keep up with the pace of the machines. So play a different game. As Kevin Kelly wrote in 2008, If you have 1000 true fans, (also known as super fans), “you can make a living — if you are content to make a living but not a fortune.” [Kevin Kelly was on this show in 2023 talking about Excellent Advice for Living.] Many authors and the publishing industry are stuck in the old model of aiming to sell huge volumes of books at a low profit margin to a massive number of readers, many of them releasing ever faster to try and keep the algorithms moving. But the maths can work for the smaller audience of more invested readers and fans. If you only make $2 profit on an ebook, you need to sell 500 ebooks to make $1000, and then do it again next month. Or you can have a small community like my patreon.com/thecreativepenn where people pay $2 (or more) a month, so even a small revenue per person results in a better outcome over the year, as it is consistent monthly income with no advertising. But what if you could make $20 profit per book? That is entirely possible if you're producing high quality hardbacks on Kickstarter, or bundle deals of audiobooks, or whole series of ebooks. You would only need to sell to 50 people to make $1000. What about $100 profit per sale, which you can do with a small course or live event? You only need 10 people to make $1000, and this in-person focus also amplifies trust and fosters human connection. I've found the intimacy of my live Patreon Office Hours and also my webinars have been rewarding personally, but also financially, and are far more memorable — and potentially transformative — than a pre-recorded video or even another book. From the LinkedIn 2026 Big Ideas article: “In an AI-optimized world, intentional human connection will become the ultimate luxury.” The 1000 True Fans model is about serving a smaller, more personal audience with higher value products (and maybe services if that's your thing). As ever, its about niche and where you fit in the long long long long long tail. It's also about trust. Because there is definitely a shortage of that in so many areas, and as Adam Mosseri of Instagram has said, trust will be increasingly important. Trust takes time to build, but if you focus on serving your audience consistently, and delivering a high quality, and being authentic, this emerges as part of being human. In an echo of what happened when online commerce first took off, we are back to talking about trust. Back in 2010, I read Trust Agents: by Julien Smith and Chris Brogan, which clearly needs a comeback. There was a 10th anniversary edition published in 2020, so that's worth a read/listen. Chris Brogan was also on this show in 2017 when we talked about finding and serving your niche for the long term. That interview is still relevant, here's a quick excerpt, where I have (lightly edited) his response to my question on this topic back in 2017: Jo: The principle of know, like, and trust, why is that still important or perhaps even more important these days? Chris: There are a few things that at play there, Joanna. One is that the same tools that make it so easy for any of us to start and run a business also allow certain elements to decide whether or not they want to do something dubious. And with all new technologies that come, you know, there's nothing unique about these new technologies. In the 1800s, anyone could put anything in a bottle and sell it to you and say, this is gonna cure everything. Cancer — gone. And the bottle could have nothing in. You know, it could be Kool-Aid. And so, the idea of trying to understand what's behind the business though, one beautiful thing that's come is that we can see in much more dimensions who we're dealing with. We can understand better who's the face behind the brand. I really want people to try their best to be a lot clearer on what they stand for or what they say. And I don't really mean a tagline. I mean, humans don't really talk like that. They don't throw some sentence out as often as they can that you remember them for that phrase. But I would say that, we have so many media available to us — the plural of mediums — where we can be more of ourselves. And I think that there's a great opportunity to share the ‘you' behind the scenes, and some people get immediately terrified about this, ‘Ah, the last thing I want is for people to know more about me,' but I think we have such an opportunity. We have such an opportunity to voice our thoughts on something, to talk about the story that goes behind the product. We were all raised on overly produced material, but I think we don't want that anymore. We really want clarity, brevity, simplicity. We want the ability for what we feel is connection and then access. And so I think it's vital that we connect and show people our accessibility, not so that they can pester us with strange questions, but more so that you can say, this person stands with their product and their service and this person believes these things, and I feel something when I hear them and I wanna be part of that.” That's from Chris Brogan's interview here in 2017, and he is still blogging and speaking at writing at ChrisBrogan.com and I'm going to re-listen to the audiobook of Trust Agents again myself as I think it's more relevant than ever. The original quote comes from Bob Burg in his 1994 book, Endless Referrals, “All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.” That still applies, and absolutely fits with the 1000 True Fans model of aiming to serve a smaller audience. As Kevin Kelly says in 1000 True Fans, “Instead of trying to reach the narrow and unlikely peaks of platinum bestseller hits, blockbusters, and celebrity status, you can aim for direct connection with a thousand true fans.” “On your way, no matter how many fans you actually succeed in gaining, you'll be surrounded not by faddish infatuation, but by genuine and true appreciation. It's a much saner destiny to hope for. And you are much more likely to actually arrive there.” In 2026, I hope that more authors (including me!) let go of ego goals and vanity metrics like ranking, gross sales (income before you take away costs), subscribers, followers, and likes, and consider important business numbers like profit (which is the money you have after costs like marketing are taken out), as well as number of true fans — and also lifestyle elements like number of weekends off, or days spent enjoying life and not just working! OK, that's my list of trends and predictions for 2026. Let me know what you think in the comments. Do you agree? Am I wrong? What have I missed? The post 2026 Trends And Predictions For Indie Authors And The Book Publishing Industry with Joanna Penn first appeared on The Creative Penn.

In this final episode of 2025, Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn zoom out to dissect what actually mattered this year across Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro, ChatGPT Image 1.5, Weavy, video models, workflows, and the uncomfortable truth about how fast all of this is moving.They unpack the real inflection points no one labeled at the time. Why March quietly changed everything. Why Nano Banana Pro rewired image editing expectations. Why Veo 3 reset video. Why Midjourney still feels magicalWhy workflows (not models) are becoming the real creative advantage.Along the way, they spiral into mood boards, personalization hacks, node-based systems, AI video limitations, why Hollywood feels creatively bankrupt, how Grok quietly became a research weapon, and why Midjourney's next move might determine whether it stays an artist's playground or becomes a professional tool.It's opinionated. It's nerdy. It's honest. It's occasionally unhinged.And it's the clearest snapshot of where AI creativity actually stands heading into 2026.If you're trying to keep up, slow down, or figure out where to place your bets next year, this episode is your unfair advantage.---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:00 – Episode 60 kickoff and end-of-year reflections01:50 – From niche experiment to mainstream behavior04:00 – AI finally reaches non-technical families06:18 – Why working solo in AI can feel isolating09:03 – Music, creativity, and early signs of AI music adoption11:02 – How fast AI actually shipped in 202512:14 – 100+ major releases and why that number matters13:01 – The real start of image editing workflows14:46 – March 2025 was the quiet inflection point16:06 – Multi-modal chat changed prompting forever19:20 – Veo 3 and why video suddenly jumped ahead21:41 – Why Google quietly dominated 202523:00 – Why hype cycles now last 48 hours23:51 – Nano Banana Pro and precision image control26:02 – Grok as a real-time research engine27:49 – Why physics in AI video finally started working29:12 – Nodes, workflows, and why visualization matters30:26 – Why Nano Banana Pro felt like “AGI for images”31:26 – Will 2026 move even faster?32:25 – Release cadence, VC pressure, and reality checks34:03 – Images vs video: who's actually ahead36:18 – Why Grok might be the sleeper winner38:36 – Data, platforms, and why distribution matters41:28 – Consolidation and acquisitions are coming44:14 – What Midjourney must do next45:23 – Image editing as the make-or-break feature48:43 – Workflow fatigue and creative burnout52:50 – Personalization, mood boards, and creative joy56:44 – Why mood boards drove the best work of 202559:12 – Personalization profiles vs mood boards01:00:43 – Why Midjourney still feels different01:02:27 – Scale, permutations, and professional use cases01:06:36 – Resolution, editing, and real production constraints01:10:22 – Why small failures still matter01:13:00 – Hollywood, creativity, and AI backlash01:17:17 – Why creators beat platforms01:22:25 – Audio and voice as the next bottleneck01:23:55 – Constraint-driven prompting in 202601:30:14 – Looking back at January vs now01:38:23 – Final predictions and advice for 202601:42:34 – Season two wrap and sign-off

Send us a textIn this annual predictions spectacular, Amith Nagarajan and Mallory Mejias kick off 2026 by looking back at how well their 2025 AI forecasts held up (spoiler: pretty darn well) and then boldly lay out what's coming next for artificial intelligence, associations, and knowledge work. From real-world AI recruiting agents and voice-first interfaces to the rise of AI literacy as a job requirement, the shift from SEO to AEO, and the very real possibility of AI-native platforms disrupting traditional associations, this episode is packed with practical insight and big-picture thinking. Whether you're an association leader or just trying to stay ahead of the curve, this conversation is both a wake-up call and a roadmap for making 2026 the year you move from experimenting with AI to truly leading with it.

IL COMMENTO ALLA 17° GIORNATA DI SERIE A! Al tavolo: Luca Toselli, Alessandro Iori, Il Critico Calcistico e l'host Matteo Davoli.

1 Corintios 4:2 "Ahora bien, se requiere de los administradores, que cada uno sea hallado fiel”.Tenemos que aprender a ser buenos administradores de nuestra vida, y nuestra vida contiene nuestro pasado, nuestro presente y nuestro futuro. El pasado se encuentra en nuestra mente y nuestro corazón, nuestro presente debemos entregarlo a Dios y nuestro futuro le pertenece a Dios.El ser humano, hoy por hoy, vive en un constante estado de caos cuando se trata de pensar en lo que fue nuestro pasado, cuando se trata de mirar lo que está pasando en nuestro presente y cuando se trata de proyectar lo que viene hacia nuestro futuro.Cuando una persona es altamente atormentada por el ayer y dice: “Es que usted no sabe lo que yo me equivoqué, no sabe lo que yo hice; a veces me persigue la culpa, el señalamiento... tengo cosas del ayer que yo no quiero que salgan a la luz”, eso puede generar en la vida exceso de pasado. Da como resultado, en muchos casos, depresión.Por otro lado, cuando pensamos hacia el futuro, entonces estamos preocupados: “¿Cómo voy a pagar el semestre de mis hijos? ¿Qué va a pasar con mi hogar? ¿Qué va a pasar con mi ministerio? ¿Qué va a pasar con mi proyectos?”. Esa abundancia de futuro es conocida como ansiedad. Cuando hay mucho pasado y hay mucho futuro, el presente entra en caos y aparece el famoso estrés. Hay gente que no está tranquila: Cuando mira hacia atrás, no encuentra paz; cuando mira su presente, no encuentra paz; y cuando mira hacia el futuro, tampoco encuentra paz.Hoy le voy a mostrar a través de la Palabra, un versículo en el que Dios habló de todo esto, me sorprendió leer un profeta en el que veo que, para Dios, los tiempos siempre están: el presente, el pasado y el futuro. Libro de Isaías 46:9-13 (NTV):“Recuerden las cosas que hice en el pasado, pues sólo yo soy Dios; yo soy Dios y no hay otro como yo. Sólo yo puedo predecir el futuro antes de que suceda. Todos mis planes se cumplirán porque yo hago lo que deseo. Llamaré a una veloz ave de rapiña desde el oriente y a un líder de tierras lejanas para que venga y haga lo que yo le ordeno. He dicho lo que haría y lo cumpliré. Escúchame, pueblo terco, tú que estás tan lejos de actuar con justicia; pues estoy listo para rectificarlo todo. Y escucha esto: no en un futuro lejano, sino ahora mismo, estoy listo para salvar a Jerusalén y mostrarle mi gloria a Israel”.Dios habla del pasado y dice: “No traigan a memoria lo que pasó ayer, no permitan que lo que sucedió en el pasado les haga daño; más bien, recuerden todo lo bueno que yo he hecho por ustedes”, también afirma en Isaías 48:18-19 “No os acordéis de las cosas pasadas, ni traigáis a memoria las cosas antiguas. He aquí que yo hago cosa nueva; pronto saldrá a luz; ¿no la conoceréis? Otra vez abriré camino en el desierto, y ríos en la soledad”. Del futuro dice: “Soy el único que puede predecir el futuro”, en Jeremías 29:11 "Porque yo sé los planes que tengo para ustedes —afirma el Señor—, planes de bienestar y no de calamidad, a fin de darles un futuro y una esperanza", y en Isaías 46:9-10: "Yo soy Dios, y no hay otro Dios, y nada hay semejante a mí, que anuncio lo por venir desde el principio, y desde la antigüedad lo que aún no era hecho; que digo: Mi consejo permanecerá, y haré todo lo que quiero”.Y del presente dice: “Voy a poner en orden sus vidas, pero no en el futuro; lo voy a hacer ahora mismo, en el presente”. Eso es lo que Dios ordena y promete a cada uno de nosotros, pero hoy tenemos que tomar acciones precisas, para que cada promesa y cada palabra se cumplan en nuestras vidas:Dios es Dios de promesas,  Dios es fiel y siempre cumple lo que promete, no por capricho, sino por su naturaleza de ser veraz, justo y amoroso, ofreciendo vida, esperanza y cumplimiento a quienes confían en Él. ¿Qué implica que Dios sea un Dios de promesas?Fidelidad inmutable: Dios no es un ser humano que miente o se arrepiente; su palabra es segura y se cumple.Veracidad: Su naturaleza de verdad garantiza que sus promesas son reales y dignas de confianza.Poder y conocimiento: Como un Dios omnipotente y omnisciente, tiene el poder y el conocimiento para llevar a cabo todo lo que promete.Amor y gracia: Sus promesas son un reflejo de su amor, ofreciendo perdón, vida plena, guía y un futuro eterno a quienes creen en Él. Estoy seguro que, luego de esta palabra, en tu corazón va a venir sanidad y vas a tener paz en el nombre de Jesús.¿Cómo afrontar el pasado en mi vida? ¿Cómo vivir entendiendo que hay cosas que están en el ayer y que no podemos cambiar? ¿Cómo vivir, comprendiendo que hay experiencias, cosas que tuvimos o cosas que nos faltaron? Muchas veces estas experiencias empiezan a traer consecuencias a nuestro hoy, a nuestro ahora, muchas veces cuando usted mira hacia atrás, y nos lamentamos, algunos hasta se sienten culpables porque dicen: “Si yo hubiera sido más sabio, si yo hubiera sido más inteligente, si yo hubiera escuchado más a Dios, mi presente no estaría tan colapsado por los errores de mi pasado”, otros dicen: “Si yo hubiera hecho esto o lo otro, no me hubiera sucedido lo que estoy viviendo en el presente”.Pero hoy te quiero mostrar tres cosas que la Biblia nos enseña que debemos hacer con el pasado:Sana lo que quedó pendiente¿Por qué es tan importante la sanidad para Dios? Es importante que las cuentas del pasado estén saldadas; para Dios es importante que aquellos pendientes del ayer, delante de su presencia, estén al día. ¿Sabe por qué? Porque cuando Dios va a subir a una persona a un nuevo nivel, primero le sana el pasado, para que el pasado nunca le vaya a frenar el presente, y mucho menos frenarle su futuro.Veo la historia de Jacob y Esaú. La Biblia dice que por problemas familiares ellos se separaron. Jacob se va a trabajar a la casa de su tío, el tramposo Labán, y Esaú se queda con su padre Isaac. Dice la palabra del Señor que, en medio de esta separación, a Jacob le va difícil; le toca una vida complicada. Su tío es un tramposo: lo engaña por 14 años, lo hace trabajar más de la cuenta, veinte años de trabajo sin recibir nada a cambio y a pesar de eso Dios lo prospera, lo bendice y todo lo que le prometió, se lo dio; en Génesis 28:20-22 “E hizo Jacob voto, diciendo: Si fuere Dios conmigo, y me guardare en este viaje en que voy, y me diere pan para comer y vestido para vestir, y si volviere en paz a casa de mi padre, Jehová será mi Dios. Y esta piedra que he puesto por señal, será casa de Dios; y de todo lo que me dieres, el diezmo apartaré para ti”, Jacob hace un voto condicional, después de soñar con una escalera al cielo y recibir promesas de Dios sobre su descendencia y la tierra; y comienza el cumplimiento de la promesa en Génesis 30:43 dice: "Y se enriqueció el varón muchísimo, y tuvo muchas ovejas, y siervas y siervos, y camellos y asnos"En medio de los procesos del pasado, muchos de nosotros hemos decidido reconstruirnos, aquí hay gente que, aunque falló en el ayer, se ha esforzado en su presente por tener una mejor historia. Muchos testifican: “Tal vez no tuve un papá, pero me pude superar; tal vez cometí errores en el ayer, pero me he podido levantar”. Eso fue lo que le pasó a Jacob, a pesar de que su tío engañó, Dios hizo que a Jacob le fuera bien. La razón es que “Aunque hemos tenido un pasado difícil, quien decide hacer las cosas de manera correcta se va a levantar en el nombre de Jesús”.Cuando finalmente Jacob tiene su bendición y sale de la casa de su tío, Dios se le aparece en Padán Aram. Jacob estaba angustiado. ¿Por qué? Porque él sabía que tenía que regresar a la t...

IL COMMENTO ALLA FINALE DI SUPERCOPPA ITALIANA!! Al tavolo: Luca Toselli, Alessandro Iori, Tommaso Turci e l'host Matteo Davoli.

Drew and Rory stumble back from the holiday chaos—one fresh off vacation, the other barely resurrected from a mystery NYC illness.Between fever dreams and booger fingers, they somehow manage to tear into ChatGPT's Image 1.5 disappointment, expose why Nano Banana Pro is quietly dominating their workflows, and reveal the Weavy automation setup that's actually working (while FreePik continues its reign of mediocre terror). The duo gets brutally honest about why OpenAI feels like it's slipping, why negative prompting might be more important than what you actually want to create, and how to build your own custom AI tools in Google AI Studio without selling your soul to another subscription. Plus: vintage Kodak rally cars, the art of perfect thumbnails, coconut water in cocktails, and why their illness prevention protocols involve more vitamin C than common sense. If you survived their holiday absence and made it through the mandatory 20-minute ramble tax, you'll be rewarded with legitimate workflow gold that actually ships.---⏱️ Midjourney Fast Hour00:01 A Mr. Sniffles cold open05:18 Prompting while sick, then getting cooked on X07:35 An “Am I an AI artist?” reality check15:08 Moodboards, unsettling styles, and “what counts as art”27:39 Blade, Pluribus, and movie still inspiration sites31:42 Midjourney V8 quiet, Style Creator alpha changes37:45 The pace of releases and tool fatigue40:37 World models, Veo 3, and the next leap43:28 ChatGPT Image 1.5 talk and why it's still behind46:12 Nano Banana Pro flex, Freepik waits, and why it matters49:17 Weavy workflow walkthrough: from ref to shot list55:26 Contact sheets, “mini LoRA” vibes, and system rules59:14 Kling o1 keyframes: why 3–10 seconds is a cheat code01:03:32 Real text and brand risks in outputs01:06:52 Build your own Nano tool in Google AI Studio01:08:01 Writing models: ChatGPT vs Gemini vs Claude01:09:23 Negative prompting becomes the main event01:11:25 Wrap, thumbnails, and holiday chaos

Did AI end up being a political force this year?

Zum Jahresabschluss sprechen wir über die fünf großen Themen die 2025 für uns geprägt haben: 1. Die Entwicklungsgeschwindigkeit der KI und ihre gesellschaftlichen Folgen Oskar beschreibt die rasante Entwicklung: Sora generiert seit einigen Monaten lebensechte Videos, Veo liefert fotorealistische Bildwelten in Sekunden, Gemini, ChatGPT und sogar CoPilot verbessern sich wöchentlich. Mit der technischen Macht wächst das Risiko. Perfekte Voice- und Video-Fälschungen ermöglichen Enkeltricks 2.0. Unser Tipp: Ein Familien-Codewort, das niemand imitieren kann. Die Tools entwickeln sich schneller, als wir als Gesellschaft, Organisationen und Familien folgen können. 2. Arbeit verändert sich schneller als unsere Arbeitswelt Michael ergänzt aus der New-Work-Perspektive: KI trifft zuerst White-Collar-Jobs. Rollen, Profile und ganze Aufgabenbereiche verändern sich radikal. Neue Jobs entstehen, alte verschwinden. Nicht 2040, sondern jetzt. Besonders beeindruckt hat ihn Dario Amodeis Analyse zu den Effekten auf Arbeit, Produktivität und Risiken. 3. Angst als globaler Begleiter Angst dominiert: vor Geschwindigkeit, Kontrollverlust, Zukunft. Oskar sagt: „Angst ist verständlich, aber sie hält uns davon ab, Teil der Lösung zu sein." Sobald man ins Tun kommt, im Unternehmen, Ehrenamt oder politisch, wird die Angst kleiner. Das ist unsere Erfahrung, dafür machen wir uns stark. 4. Der Generationenvertrag steht auf der Kippe Für Michael war die Rentendebatte zentral. Seine Diagnose: Unsere Demografie schlägt jede Ideologie. Die jetzige Rentenlogik ist nicht mehr tragfähig. Es braucht ein neues Modell, das junge Menschen nicht überlastet, aber Ältere einbindet statt abschreibt. Michael wünscht sich längere, flexiblere Übergänge, mehr Teilzeitmodelle im Alter, Mentoring und Motivation für Engagement. 5. Die Rückkehr ins Analoge als Gegenpol Trotz aller KI-Entwicklung spüren wir beide einen klaren Trend, der sich auch in der Forschung finden lässt. Weniger Social Media, mehr echte Begegnungen. Lesen, Schreiben, Kochen, Sport und Natur statt Doomscrolling. Padel-Tennis (Michael) und Weiher (Oskar) werden bei uns zu Ankerpunkten. Das Analoge wird nicht schwächer, es wird wertvoller. Es ist unser Gegengewicht, unser Ausgleich, unsere Erdung. Danke für euer Zuhören, eure Nachrichten und Gedanken. Wir machen weiter mit Freude, Neugier und gegenseitigem Vertrauen. Wenn euch die Folge gefällt, freuen wir uns über ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Kommentare und Weiterempfehlungen. Danke fürs Zuhören und bis nächstes Jahr! #Leadership #GenZ #Führung #Stärkenorientierung #Feedbackkultur #ReverseMentoring #NewWork #KI #ZoomerMeetsBoomer

Nell'ultima puntata di "Non c'era una volta" abbiamo confrontato Veo e Sora, due fra le più note funzionalità per creare video con l'Intelligenza Artificiale Generativa.

Get our AI Video Guide with 5+ prompts and real results: https://clickhubspot.com/rhk Episode 89: How big of a leap is the latest generation of AI video models—and do they really live up to the hype? Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) and Maria Gharib (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/maria-gharib-091779b9), an AI writer and newsletter creator, dive into hands-on testing and candid discussion about the brand-new Runway 4.5, Kling AI, and more. In this episode, Matt and Maria put early-access Runway 4.5 through its paces, experiment with quirky video prompts, and compare outputs from the top AI video tools including Kling's latest models. Is Runway 4.5 a massive leap forward, or just playing catchup with VEo and Sora? What kinds of content can creative teams actually produce with these new generative video AIs? Plus, Matt and Maria get real about the mixed reactions to AI-driven brand ads—like the recent McDonald's spot—and discuss where this fast-evolving field is headed.

FastLetter - Una fonte buona dalla quale aggiornarsia cura di Giorgio TavernitiN. 57 - 16 Dicembre 2025Di cosa parliamo* Il traffico di ChatGPT* La questione del positioning* Chatbot o Cosa?* È finita per ChatGPT?* Search Console: ma a chi parli?* YouTube nel 2026* Gli eventi Search On* SalutiPremessa: il 2025 volge al termine. Quest'anno mi ero promesso di fare molti più contenuti, ma il bilancio di questa FastLetter parla chiaro: con questa sono 10 edizioni.Anche i contenuti video orizzontali non sono stati poi molti: 45.Però sono soddisfatto: ho fatto ciò che potevo fare. Molte volte tendiamo a trovare una giustificazione “alta” a quello che facciamo, senza accettare ciò che ci accade. Invece è importante mantenere un dialogo onesto. Prima di tutto con sé stessi. Perché noi sui social siamo portati a dover dare delle lezioni di vita ad ogni singolo post. A spiegare sempre la vita a tutti.Ma i post di quel tipo hanno un sottile velo di menzogna, che raccontata poi pubblicamente diventa anche una propria menzogna.Quindi, niente pipponi Qualità vs Quantità. Niente “mi sono concentrato sulla Qualità”. Ho fatto ciò che potevo fare.Spero che il 2026 mi consenta di fare di più in questo campo. Mi mancano le live :)IL TRAFFICO DI CHATGPTC'è una statistica che sto seguendo mese dopo mese ed è quella di Similarweb. C'è stato un tempo dove ChatGPT dominava con oltre l'85% di mercato, quest'anno invece vede un Novembre con ChatGPT al 64% e Gemini al 15%. Nella classifica vediamo meglio sia gli andamenti, che altri dati da approfondire:Da questa classifica mancano Perplexity (189 milioni), Claude (181 milioni) e Copilot (105).Quello che risalta molto all'occhio è la crescita di Gemini e la discesa di ChatGPT. Inoltre c'è un dato che non deve passare inosservato: gli utenti unici.473 milioni sono quelli di ChatGPT contro i 219 di Gemini. Non sono numeri così distanti, tenendo conto che Gemini ha un uso molto diffuso anche nell'ecosistema Google (AI Mode in primis, ma anche Workspace).L'andamento degli ultimi tre mesi, quelli del “ritorno allo studio” dove ChatGPT è più forte, non ha avuto un grande incremento.Settembre: 5.9 miliardiOttobre: 6.1 miliardiNovembre: 5.8 miliardiGemini è l'unico che fa un progressivo:Settembre: 1.0 miliardiOttobre: 1.1 miliardiNovembre: 1.3 miliardiAl lancio di Gemini 3 abbiamo visto Google dare i suoi numeri:AI Overview conta ora 2 miliardi di utenti al mese. L'app Gemini supera i 650 milioni di utenti al mese, oltre il 70% dei nostri clienti Cloud utilizza la nostra AI, 13 milioni di sviluppatori hanno creato con i nostri modelli generativi e questo è solo un assaggio dell'impatto che stiamo riscontrando.Aldilà delle metodologie delle classifiche, qualsiasi dato prendi, dice una cosa: Gemini sta avanzando, ChatGPT meno. LA QUESTIONE DEL POSITIONINGOgni volta che si parla di questa grande sfida, ChatGPT contro Gemini, si parla del positioning. ChatGPT ha creato una nuova categoria di prodotto nella mente delle persone. Si è piazzata prima e il passaparola farà la differenza.Ed è così, con un però grande come una casa: non deve fare dei grandi passi falsi.La storia di Google che arriva seconda e poi si mangia tutto l'abbiamo già vista. Ma abbiamo visto anche quando Google arriva seconda e fallisce.Non c'è una regola. Una cosa è certa: se Google si mette davanti, si mette davanti punto.Non è stato il primo motore di ricerca della storia, ma è stato sicuramente quello che lo ha fatto meglio: ad un certo punto la qualità della ricerca era stratosferica rispetto agli altri.Questo è l'errore che non deve fare OpenAI. E devo dire che non sembra che stia facendo questo errore. Anche se le cose non si stanno mettendo benissimo: così come Google 3 anni fa ha emesso un codice rosso per ChatGPT, lo stesso è successo ad OpenAI. La versione 3 di Gemini fa paura per un motivo: di colpo, si è messo davanti a tutti in più di un campo. Non solo: i lanci continui di Google sia per le immagini che per i video stanno facendo clamore, così come le integrazioni che Google sta realizzando in tutto il suo ecosistema. È un continuo parlare di Google.Così OpenAI ha rilasciato il 5.2 per colmare il gap. Ma non è stata questa gran rivoluzione. La 5.1 high era stata superata da Gemini, Claude e Grok. Ora hanno due problemi:* OpenAI sta fronteggiando molti rivali che iniziano a essere forti anche solo in un ambito, come Claude Opus 4.5 nello sviluppo* Google ha forza economica, hardware, software, risorse umane tutte al suo interno. Il lancio di GPT-5.2 mette fine allo storytelling di ChatGPT. I Guri avevano detto che la 5 sarebbe stata una rivoluzione pazzesca, che avrebbe stravolto il mercato. Poi siccome non era così OpenAI l'ha chiamata 4.5. Ci hanno riprovato con la 5 e non è andata bene.Sulla 5.2 qualcuno ha riprovato con lo storytelling. Niente. Raga, hanno fatto dei passi in avanti, ovviamente, dopo la delusione della 5.1. Ma non si può parlare di rivoluzione, non si può parlare di un gap con gli altri. La rivoluzione più grande l'ha fatta Google con Gemini 3 andando a migliorare in un colpo solo tutto, non solo il testo. L'ha fatta Claude nello sviluppo. Non l'ha fatta OpenAI negli ultimi mesi.Che vi piaccia o no, oggi è così.La leadership è frammentata e lo sarà sempre di più. Ci saranno attività dove è più forte ChatGPT, altre Claude, altre Gemini e poi anche altri soggetti non USA.E qui veniamo al punto centrale: nella mente delle persone, dal mio personale punto di vista, la categoria Chatbot sta scricchiolando. E se ChatGPT resta forte in quella categoria, non è detto che lo resti per molto tempo ancora così come non è detto che riesca a inserirsi nelle altre.CHATBOT O COSA?Si sta aprendo uno spazio che ancora non vediamo. I Chatbot non sono più Chatbot. Non abbiamo vissuto molti anni per avere questa categoria così forte nella nostra mente. Secondo me sta per succedere qualcos'altro.Avete presente quando alla quarta volta che dite di aver usato un software con intelligenza artificiale vi siete stancati di nominare l'intelligenza artificiale perché oramai è ovunque? Ecco, stiamo passando oltre.E stiamo passando dal CHIEDERE a PRODURRE. E a breve alla sostituzione con l'AGIRE al posto nostro.Esempio. Oggi chiediamo all'AI: “Qual è il miglior hotel per New York in zona Manhattan?” o “Fammi un itinerario di viaggio per New York”. Domani diremo: “Prenotami il volo per New York, usa la mia carta solita e metti l'appuntamento in calendario”. Chiedere (qual è), Produrre (fammi), Agire (prenotami).L'uso che noi stiamo facendo di questi strumenti sta portando a rivalutare il tutto. Già oggi nei task che compiamo ci chiediamo quale strumento usare. ChatGPT? Gemini? Claude. Lo fanno anche persone non di questo settore.Google che attiva l'AI Mode e la spinge con popup ovunque è un cambio epocale.La partita qui si giocherà anche sulle tante cose che noi potremmo fare. Il fatto che Nano Banana e VEO (immagini e video) abbiano fatto dei passi in avanti clamorosi facendo muovere molte persone verso Gemini è un qualcosa da attenzionare.Google potrebbe uscirsene con qualche mossa a sorpresa.Se le cose resteranno così e resteremo nel mondo Chatbot allora la partita Google se la giocherà nell'adozione dei suoi sistemi rivaleggiando con OpenAI (dal canto suo dovrà restare al passo coi tempi, la situazione si è invertita).Ma c'è spazio per un'altra categoria secondo me che porterà ad una grande evoluzione. Potremmo sentire i Chatbot come qualcosa di superati intesi come solo testo e addirittura vecchi.È FINITA PER CHATGPT?Noi viviamo in una bolla. La bolla del Digital e dei Guri che per anni hanno fatto post in giro dicendo che Google sarebbe morta e che ChatGPT avrebbe mangiato tutto.Si è creato un hype esagerato che ha fatto vedere Internet con una lente distorta a molte persone.Sono passati 3 anni dal lancio di ChatGPT, ma Google è ancora lì, in una posizione di mercato nettamente salda. Le entrate, le azioni in borsa, il numero di utenti mostrano questo.Senza parlare delle infrastrutture che ha a disposizione che sono un asset strategico oggi. Se dovesse scoppiare una bolla sarebbe l'azienda più solida tra quelle che stanno facendo la partita.Quindi, c'è da fare un ridimensionamento su ChatGPT. Un ritorno alla realtà.Questo però non prescinde dal fatto che i risultati di ChatGPT siano straordinari: ha rivoluzionato un settore, è tra i siti più visitati al mondo, sta facendo cose molto importanti.La partita è aperta. Il futuro non è scritto. Il futuro è un po' più lento di quello che si poteva pensare: ovvero la leadership di Internet non cambierà così velocemente, se cambierà.OpenAI sta raggiungendo accordi importanti. Ma se non trovano un modo per svoltare da un punto di vista di business io non la vedo così salda. Questo perché ci sono in campo investimenti molto importanti e basta poco a ribaltare le questioni.Al di là del mercato, credo che OpenAI abbia in mano il proprio destino. Alcune mosse degli ultimi mesi sono state molto, molto, molto interessanti e intelligenti. Sta tirando fuori partnership interessanti da Photoshop a Walt Disney. Altre mosse invece hanno fatto perdere terreno in modo importante, mostrando le prime crepe.Questo 2025 ha decretato la fine del dilemma “ChatGPT ucciderà Google?”. No, non accadrà, ora lo hanno capito tutti gli scettici iniziali.Tolta questa patina anche per i non addetti ai lavori, inseriti tutti noi in un processo evolutivo dell'uso dell'AI, il 2026 ci darà delle risposte molto forti su dove potrà arrivare OpenAI.Perché ora che nella testa delle persone non c'è più questo Hype su ChatGPT, inizia la partita vera.Lo chiedo a voi: è finita per ChatGPT?SEARCH CONSOLE: MA A CHI PARLI?Ho letto un annuncio un po' strano di Google. Non mi piace molto questa nuova direzione della Search Console: all'appar

Apple acaba de hacer algo inesperado: liberar como open source STARFlow-V, un modelo de generación de vídeo por IA que rompe con todo lo establecido. Mientras Sora, Veo 3, Runway y todos los demás usan modelos de difusión, Apple ha apostado por una tecnología diferente: los normalizing flows. Una arquitectura que la comunidad científica había descartado como "imposible de escalar" para vídeo... hasta ahora. En este episodio te explico: ► Cómo funcionan los modelos de difusión (sin fórmulas, con metáforas)► Por qué tienen limitaciones fundamentales para streaming y tiempo real► Qué son los normalizing flows y por qué Apple ha apostado por ellos► Las ventajas clave: reversibilidad, causalidad, velocidad► Qué son los "world models" y por qué esto importa para robótica y simulación► El patrón de Apple liberando investigación: GAUDI, Ferret, FastVLM...► Qué significa esto para el futuro de la IA en dispositivos Apple No hace falta ser experto para entenderlo. Como siempre, hago fácil lo difícil. ---

Welcome back to AI Unraveled, your strategic daily briefing on the business impact of artificial intelligence. It is Monday, December 1st, 2025, and the industry has just crossed two historic thresholds.First, the balance of power in the 'Open AI Economy' has officially flipped—with Chinese developers overtaking the US in market share for the first time. Second, Black Friday has proven that the age of 'search' is dead, replaced by the age of 'prediction,' as AI agents drove nearly $12 billion in sales.We are also covering DeepSeek's new math-crushing model, Runway's victory over Google, and why memory chips are about to become the most expensive resource on earth.Let's unravel the news.Strategic Pillars & Topics

Sé prudente y mantén la boca cerrada». Proverbios 10:19.En uno de los lugares donde viví, había un refrán muy conocido para referirnos a alguien que habla mucho y en voz fuerte: -Parece que nació al lado de una catarata-  Yo no entendí el sentido de frase hasta que conocí una catarata. Allí, el ruido del agua que cae hace imposible escuchar cualquier otra cosa.Veo a un niño riendo y a una niña mostrándole un animal a su madre. Decenas de personas hablan, ríen y saltan al agua, pero yo no escucho nada cuando estoy bajo las fuertes y ruidosas aguas de la catarata. Y claro, porque para que te escuchen cerca de una catarata hay que gritar o hablar muy alto, y seguramente alguien no entenderá alguna parte de la conversación.En un mundo con tantas voces y charlas, donde a veces la gente quiere hablar al mismo tiempo, es importante hacer una pausa y silenciar ese ruido para escuchar la voz de Dios.La voz del Señor se puede escuchar a través de su Palabra, la Biblia. ¿Quieres escuchar más la voz de Dios?Mi oración: Señor, ayúdame a escuchar siempre tu voz.En familia, busquen y dibujen versículos bíblicos que hablen acerca de la importancia de cuidar lo que decimos y cómo lo decimos.

Bienvenidos a FailAgain, una newsletter / podcast sobre crear contenido y estrategia.Publicas contenido de calidad, creces, tienes una comunidad fiel... y cuando llega la hora de monetizar: grillos.Te recomiendo que escuches la versión extendida en formato pódcast de este contenido.Esta newsletter está patrocinada por Inversor DesnudoEstamos todo el día hablando de workflows, de plantillas, de qué herramienta usar para editar, inteligencia artificial.... Nos pasamos semanas optimizando el sistema de producción.Pero la pasta en tu proyecto como creador no está ahí.Hoy vamos a hablar de dinero y contenido.Veo muchos creadores que sacan piezas que son la bomba, además son consistentes, tienen comunidad fiel, crecen... y a la hora de monetizar no entienden por qué no logran buenos resultados.Lanzan un producto: venden tres.Lanzan una membresía: se apuntan cuatro.¿Cuál es el problema?Que muchas veces se confunde actividad (estar siempre publicando, siempre activos) con estrategia.Y la decisión estratégica más importante que tomas es la del tema sobre el que decides hablar, crear, escribir.No todos los nichos son iguales.Y por eso no me vas a escuchar decir eso de “sigue tu pasión como creador y el dinero vendrá”. Esa es una media verdad que te puede llevar a un nivel de frustración terrible.Los datosHe usado Google Ads Keyword Planner para entender cuánto están dispuestos a pagar los anunciantes por aparecer en determinadas palabras clave.Ejemplo simple:* Búsqueda: “cursos de finanzas”* Búsqueda: “curso de origami”Los anunciantes pagan entre 10 y 50 veces más por el curso de finanzas que por el de origami.¿Por qué? Economía básica. Pagan más donde el retorno es mayor.Y esto marca todo el ecosistema para el contenido.Hay temas donde la gente gasta dinero y temas donde la gente consume gratis (o casi gratis).Los tres niveles de nicho1. Temáticas HOBBYEjemplos: reseñas de cine, historias del fútbolLa gente disfruta consumiendo, pero es raro que saquen la tarjeta para pagar.Monetización: Indirecta (anunciantes, patrocinios, afiliación)Escala necesaria: Cientos de miles de visualizaciones al mes para rozar facturaciones de 1.000-2.000€El porcentaje de personas dispuestas a pagar de forma directa por tu contenido es muy pequeño. Necesitas impactar en muchísima gente para encontrar a esas pocas personas que conectan tanto contigo que deciden invertir.2. Temáticas de HABILIDADEjemplos: cómo usar Notion, tutorial de fotografía, estrategia de contenidoAquí hay un problema que se puede resolver. La gente está más dispuesta a pagar por aprender una habilidad porque entiende que hay retorno.Escala necesaria: Con 10.000-20.000 suscriptores puedes empezar a tener algo sólido y rentable.3. Temáticas de ALTO VALOREjemplos: finanzas, salud, relacionesAquí la gente no paga por aprender. Paga por eliminar un dolor, algo que les quita el sueño.Escala necesaria: Con 1.000-2.000 suscriptores puedes estar facturando muchísimo más que en los otros nichos, incluso con 20.000 - 40.000 seguidores.Cuando hablas de inversión, de cómo ahorrar, no estás vendiendo un curso. Estás vendiendo tranquilidad, un futuro mejor, cómo evitar un problema por una mala decisión.Por eso los creadores en estos nichos tienen una capacidad de monetización que está en otra liga.El caso Nudista InvestorEsta semana patrocina la newsletter Nudista Investor, y cuando analizas su estructura, sus números... quedas absolutamente flipado.Los números:* 34.000 suscriptores en newsletter gratuita* Más de 3.000 pagan una membresía mensual* Casi un 10% de conversión (lo normal es 3-4%)Con más de 3.000 miembros pagando 10€/mes, estamos hablando de 30.000€ al mes (datos validados en su propia web).Y lo mejor: la suscripción está cerrada hasta finales de 2025.Escasez real, sin artificios ni marketing agresivo. No te puedes suscribir aunque quieras.¿Por qué funciona tan bien?1. Está en finanzas personalesDonde la gente tiene problemas reales, urgentes. Inflación, hipotecas subiendo, futuro incierto. Mucho desconocimiento en temas universales como inversión y gestión del patrimonio.2. Usa ejemplos tangiblesHabla de gente que derrocha dinero, de personas que viven con el agua al cuello pese a cobrar 7.000-8.000€/mes. Historias con datos reales que conectan.3. El concepto de “porno financiero”Mostrar números reales, inversiones, patrimonio. Convierte una temática que podría ser aburrida en algo casi adictivo.4. Monetización optimizadaEmpezó cobrando 10€/mes. Ahora está en 20€/mes. Y puede cerrar las suscripciones porque tiene capacidad de hacerlo.Sería injusto achacar todo el éxito de Nudista solo a la temática. Su capacidad de explicar de forma entretenida y didáctica contenidos sobre ahorro e inversión es brutal.Pero... eligió un campo donde el valor económico es evidente y el público está más dispuesto a pagar.Si te interesa el tema de finanzas personales (y siendo creador, debería), te recomiendo que te suscribas a Nudista. No solo por el contenido sobre finanzas. Hazlo para entender sus mecánicas como creador y como monetizador.Bonus: Si te suscribes antes del lunes 17 de noviembre a las 17:00 (hora española), Nudista ha preparado una entrega especial que puede ayudarte con tus finanzas.¿Y ahora qué?Con todo esto... ¿significa que tengo que cerrar mi blog de poesía y abrir uno de cripto?No.Significa que tienes que entender las reglas del juego al que estás jugando.Si elegiste un tema hobby:* Disfruta del proceso* Construye tu comunidad* Acepta que la monetización será lenta y principalmente indirectaSi elegiste una temática de habilidad:* Demuestra resultados* Crea sistemas replicables* Ayuda a otros a conseguir lo que tú conseguisteSi estás en temáticas de alto valor:* Tu audiencia tiene una urgencia real (úsalo a tu favor)* La responsabilidad es mayor* El éxito lo marca tu personalidad y enfoqueLa coherencia es claveNo esperes resultados de temáticas de alto valor si estás creando contenido hobby.No te compares con nichos que juegan con otras reglas.No fuerces tu contenido hacia el dinero si no es el objetivo.Reflexión final:Puedes crear sobre origami y ser feliz con 500 suscriptores apasionados.Puedes crear sobre inversión y estar estresado e infeliz aunque tengas 10.000 suscriptores.La clave no es elegir el nicho correcto. La clave es ser consciente.Cuando ves a Nudista facturando 30.000€/mes, no es porque sea el mejor creador del sector de finanzas. Es porque:* Eligió un campo donde una membresía de 10-20€ es irrisoria comparado con el valor que aporta* Dio un ángulo y enfoque muy diferente a su contenido* Disfruta bebiendo buena cerveza y hablando de buenas ideas para lograr libertad financieraTú decides a qué juego quieres jugar. Las normas son estas. Ahora trata de divertirte.El éxito no va de cuántas horas le metes. Va de tomar decisiones estratégicas con los ojos abiertos.Y la primera es elegir ese campo de batalla. O aceptar el que ya elegiste, pero siendo consciente de las implicaciones.P.D. Si estás en ese punto de definir tu nicho o pensar en pivotar, puede ser uno de los temas que trabajemos en Factoría Creativa.Solo quedan 7 plazas en la tarifa de fundador.Un abrazote muy grande y a monetizar todos.GuillermoPD: Recuerda que el regalito de Nudista es solo para los que se suscriban antes del 17/11/2025 a las 17:00 hora peninsular ^^ This is a public episode.

Coca-Cola's new AI-generated holiday ad has sparked both praise and controversy. In this episode, Joey and Addy break down the technology behind the commercial, analyzing how Secret Level combined tools like Veo 3, Comfy, and Sora to achieve CG-quality animation with a small crew instead of the large team usually required for traditional production--The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are the personal views of the hosts and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of their respective employers or organizations.

Veterans Sazha Ramos and Ignacio Montoya both experienced traumatic injuries that had a significant impact on their lives. For Ramos, it led her to an addiction to pain medications. For Montoya, a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. But after facing their challenges, both are using their journeys to assist other veterans. For a special edition of “Closer Look” on Veterans Day, “Closer Look” program host Rose Scott spoke with them about their experiences, Ramos’ work assisting veterans struggling with addiction, and Montoya about how he’s advancing research into improving mobility for those who have been paralyzed. *American Addiction Center’s 24/7 hotline is 866-868-3449. Plus, the Veterans Empowerment Organization (VEO) and The Home Depot Foundation are partnering together to end veteran homelessness. Recently, the “Closer Look” team stopped by VEO’s campus on Atlanta’s Westside for a tour.

Amit Jain, CEO and founder of Luma AI, joins Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz to unpack the future of AI-native video and the transformation of Hollywood's creative economy. Once an Apple engineer, Jain launched Luma during the early NeRF boom and built what is now the industry's best-performing AI video generation system—Luma Ray 3, the world's first HDR model capable of 16-bit cinematic compositing. In this episode, Jain argues that AI video isn't just a tool—it is quickly becoming the new substrate of the internet, a reality where professional-grade video replaces web pages as the primary interface for information, learning, and entertainment.Before Luma, Jain led core Apple Vision teams, where he learned how AI perception systems interpret the world. That experience now powers Luma's radical thesis: every phone user will soon generate an hour of personalized video per day, making video “the new language of the internet.”The hosts challenge Jain on whether startups like Luma can compete with OpenAI's Sora and Google's Veo, and Jain answers with confidence: “Big companies marketing harder doesn't matter—the best models always win because creators demand control, quality, and speed.” Luma, he explains, is already embedded in four of the six major Hollywood studios and hundreds of professional production houses, providing real-time previsualization, set extension, and multi-character scene generation on consumer hardware.Guest Highlights: Amit Jain on AI-First CinemaHollywood adopters: Four of six major studios already using Luma Ray 3 for previsualization, compositing, and AI-assisted performance capture.Death of performance capture: Luma's video-to-video model translates acting from an iPhone recording directly into 3D characters—replacing mo-cap workflows with laptop AI pipelines.AI for directors, not automation: Jain insists AI empowers storytellers. Directors can now reshoot, re-time lighting, or replace actors at negligible cost—transforming iteration speed, not intent.The “professional-first” strategy: While OpenAI and Google chase consumers, Jain is targeting the $1.2 trillion professional video production market, where 90% of spending occurs.Hollywood's broken math: “Studios die because of $400-million movies,” he says. “Make 10 films for $40 million each and you'll have a creative renaissance.”News Segment HighlightsSnap's Lens Fest reveals next-gen Spectacles with binocular see-through XR displayAnduril's new IVAS “Eagle Eye” headset Apple announces Vision Pro Gen 2 .Samsung's Galaxy XR headset Flint AI raises new round from a16z and Sheryl SandbergThis Episode's SponsorsZappar's Mattercraft – AI-integrated 3D web design suite for building immersive XR content.Viture Luma XR Glasses – 52° FOV and 152-inch virtual screen experience for gaming and streaming.Subscribe for weekly insider perspectives from industry veterans who aren't afraid to challenge Big Tech.

Rory and Drew try to keep up with AI like two dads jogging after a runaway stroller. They dig into Midjourney v8 rumors, the new Style Finder vs. Style Creator, and why personalization has everyone stuck in a pink-blue haze. They compare Sora 2's shock-tightened IP rules to Veo 3.1's practical upgrades, then sprint through Runway's new “apps,” Reve's under-the-radar glow-up, and a wild photo tool (Phota) that restyles real shots without wrecking the moment.

Today on the AI Daily Brief, Google may have just shown us how AI can actually help cure cancer. We break down a groundbreaking new discovery from Google and Yale's C2S-Scale model, which generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cell behavior that scientists then validated in living cells. Plus, in the headlines: Google launches Veo 3.1 and Anthropic unveils Haiku 4.5 — what the updates mean for AI video and agent performance — and Pew Research finds global sentiment toward AI is turning negative.Brought to you by:Is your enterprise ready for the future of agentic AI?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit AGNTCY.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit Outshift Internet of Agents⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Google Gemini - Try NotebookLM today https://notebooklm.google.com/KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1======a==============================================DEVOCIÓN   MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2025“CON JESÚS HOY”Narrado por: Exyomara AvilaDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church ===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================16 de OctubreLibres por dentro«La verdad os hará libres» (Juan 8: 32).Como dijimos ayer, hace unos años tuve el privilegio de predicar a un nutrido grupo de reclusos en la prisión Due Palazzi de Padua (Italia), a raíz de esa visita, recibí increíbles bendiciones, y conocí a seres humanos que me ayudaron a crecer espiritualmente y a tomar conciencia, de un modo especial, de la importancia de dejar de lado los prejuicios y de estar dispuestos a aprender de todos. Entre muchas otras cosas, descubrí que esta cárcel se ha hecho famosa porque, a diferencia de otros centros carcelarios, aquí había triunfado un admirable proyecto llevado a cabo por las autoridades penitenciarias, en colaboración con asociaciones de interés social y algunos grupos religiosos (uno de ellos, adventista), para atender las necesidades de los reclusos en tres dimensiones de su vida: la educación, el trabajo y la vida espiritual.Nicola Boscoletto, responsable del proyecto durante un tiempo, explica que el punto de partida era tratar a los detenidos como personas dignas de respeto y no como delincuentes, empezando por dejarles usar su propia ropa, prescindiendo de los clásicos uniformes carcelarios. Y mucho más importante que eso, facilitar trabajo remunerado a los prisioneros para poder hacer frente a sus necesidades y enviar cada mes una suma significativa de dinero a su familia, cónyuge, padres o hijos.En el interior de la prisión existe una pastelería donde cerca de quinientas personas trabajan en el proceso de elaboración de piezas tradicionales de repostería italiana, como el famoso panettone o los llamados «huevos de Pascua».Este acercamiento ha dado sorprendentes resultados: si a nivel mundial el promedio de reincidencia de los delincuentes excarcelados va del 70 al 90 por ciento, en esta prisión se limita al 20 por ciento, y entre los reos que trabajan la reincidencia es tan solo del uno o dos por ciento. Este dato es por sí solo un milagro.La importancia concedida a la vida espiritual de los presos ha contribuido notablemente al éxito de este proyecto. Porque ayuda a los internos a tomar conciencia de sus errores, a asumir mejor las penas y adoptar actitudes más esperanzadas y solidarias.«La fe ha sido un punto de inflexión decisivo para poder cambiar, para abrirme a un futuro mejor. Me inspira a seguir creciendo. Veo mi vida de otra manera. Soy libre por dentro. Dios me da una gran fuerza para enfrentar los problemas, porque ahora no me siento solo, sino sostenido», afirma uno de los reclusos convertidos en la cárcel, cuyo testimonio tuve el gozo de recoger.Señor, sigue fortaleciendo mis ganas de compartir esperanza. 

Google, Meta et OpenAI ont tous dégainé leurs modèles vidéo : Veo 3, Vibes et Sora 2. Trois applis et un même objectif : transformer nos feeds en un flux infini d'images générées par l'IA. On va revenir sur ces lancements, parce que derrière ces modèles, c'est une nouvelle ère qui s'annonce : celle des réseaux sociaux auto-générés. On va aussi décrypter la mécanique des cameos, ces clones numériques capables de reproduire ton visage et ta voix. On parlera des prouesses créatives, mais aussi des dérives possibles. Et puis, on va se projeter : à quoi ressemble un monde où l'actualité, les émotions et même nos souvenirs seraient générés par l'intelligence artificielle ?Bref, un épisode passionnant.Les amigos, nous sommes peut-être à l'aube d'une bascule historique : celle où la réalité n'a plus besoin d'être filmée, mais générée par l'intelligence artificielle.===============================

AI is Going Great – Or How ML Makes Money  00:45 OpenAI's Sora 2 lets users insert themselves into AI videos with sound – Ars Technica OpenAI’s Sora 2 introduces synchronized audio generation alongside video synthesis, matching Google’s Veo 3 and Alibaba’s Wan 2.5 capabilities.  This positions OpenAI competitively in the multimodal AI space with what they call their “GPT-3.5 moment for video.” The new iOS social app feature allows users to insert themselves into AI-generated videos through “cameos,” suggesting potential applications for personalized content creation and social media integration at scale. Sora 2 demonstrates improved physical accuracy and consistency across multiple shots, addressing previous limitations where objects would teleport or deform unrealistically.  The model can now simulate complex movements like gymnastics rout

Antony “Skarred Ghost” Vitillo—legendary XR blogger, developer, and authentic voice of the immersive tech world—joins Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a sharp, candid take on why spatial computing keeps breaking hearts (and bank accounts). Vitillo, calling in from Torino (and Nutella country), takes listeners inside his evolution from reluctant Twitter handle-user to one of the industry's essential critical thinkers. With 30,000+ social followers and nearly a decade at the helm of the Skarred Ghost blog, Tony has borne witness to every device cycle, product hype wave, and reality check XR can muster.The hosts open with news that captures the collective whiplash of the sector: Samsung finally names its long-awaited “Moohan” headset the Galaxy XR; Apple is reportedly pivoting away from Vision Pro follow-ups in favor of pursuing AI smart glasses, chasing the hardware trend Meta has tried to lead—with several Magic Leap alumni shaping both companies' next moves. Meanwhile, OpenAI's Sora 2 outpaces Google's Veo 3 in text-to-video generation, and “AI feeds” continue to spark debates about separating synthetic from real in our content streams.Guest HighlightsVitillo unveils XR truths learned the hard way:From accidental blogger to “Master Yoda”: Tony's accidental rise began with an anonymous Twitter handle, a failed AR/VR startup, and a mentor's advice to “own” XR expertise—eventually outlasting the startup itself.The real cost of authenticity: European sensibilities (practical, cost-effective, resistant to Silicon Valley bombast) shaped Tony's on-the-ground verdicts: the Google Glass era was “too early,” even good implementations often wither outside logistics and niche use-cases.Product vs. Prototype and the patience gap: Tony, Rony, and Ted all agree: too many XR launches are rushed by investor pressure from prototype to product, skipping the long, hard path of patience. Meta's Quest Pro is called out as a textbook “rush job” that failed to meet real readiness.Why XR is “harder than Mars:” Decades and $150B+ spent, yet still no universal hit. Tony argues the impossible form factor challenge (stuffing room-scale computation into eyewear) is compounded by deeper neuroscience—humans simply recoil from something too “in your face.” Physics is tough, but brains and social norms are the real brick wall.Why Roblox, not VRChat, “won” the metaverse: Most of the sector's big dreams faded back to mobile during and after Covid. With Rec Room, VRChat, and others all scaling back, Roblox's mass adoption proves device accessibility outweighs idealism. Tony expects cycles of platform hype, but says only rare combinations of luck, timing, and use-case ever sustain an audience.News Highlights Samsung's “Moohan” headset renamed Galaxy XR—signaling mainstream branding push into the AR/VR hardware race.Apple shifts Vision Pro focus toward AI smart glasses—pivot after slow sales and sector criticism, echoing Meta's latest headset push.OpenAI Sora 2 outpaces Google's Veo 3—AI video generation heats up, new feeds spark debates over AI vs. real content in social media.XR product launches called out for impatience—Meta's Quest Pro and others critiqued as rushed from prototype to product.Thanks to This Episode's SponsorsZappar's Mattercraft - 3D web development with AI assistant for real-time design and debuggingViture XR Glasses Luma Series - 52-degree field of view, 152-inch virtual screen for mobile gaming Hosted on Acast.

PJ Accetturo went from traditional filmmaker to running a seven-figure AI video agency, creating viral content that's been viewed millions of times. He breaks down exactly how filmmakers can adapt to AI tools without losing their creative edge. This episode covers the specific workflow, tools, and mindset shifts needed to capitalize on what PJ calls "the biggest gold rush of all time." Key Takeaways AI tools like VO3 and ChatGPT can be learned in days, but filmmakers have a huge advantage because they already understand story, pacing, and what makes content compelling The opportunity is massive right now—PJ says it's "very easy to build a seven-figure agency" because brands need AI content but most agencies haven't adapted yet You don't need to abandon traditional filmmaking; many successful approaches involve pairing experienced directors with AI specialists to create hybrid workflows The key to viral AI content is being funny, self-aware about using AI, and creating content that surprises and delights audiences rather than boring them About PJ Accetturo PJ is a seasoned innovator in the TV and advertising space, having served as CEO for multiple media companies and bringing over 15 years of industry experience. He first gained recognition at 18 when National Geographic showcased his work, setting the stage for a career creating content for global powerhouses like Toyota, Red Bull, The Atlanta Braves, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As a commercial director, he spent over a decade working with some of the world's biggest brands. In 2019, PJ demonstrated his knack for audience engagement by growing a YouTube channel from zero to one million subscribers in six months. He then turned his sights to long-form storytelling, raising millions to produce his original animated series, Ghosts of Ruin, where he served as writer and Executive Producer. That project saw him collaborating daily with an Oscar-nominated director, a two-time Emmy-winning showrunner, Hans Zimmer's music team, and an A-list voice cast featuring Rosario Dawson, Justin Long, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Tony Revolori. Motivated to shorten production timelines and reduce costs, PJ is spearheading new processes with generative AI. With a commitment to ethical data training, he is now working to create world-class media with AI-powered workflows. In This Episode  [00:00] Welcome to the show!

Very easy, very quickly." - PJ Accetturo "Winners only... to anyone who's not wanting to adapt quickly, like displacement's coming." - PJ Accetturo "Your greatest skill is that we know how to get exposure on a camera and frame a good shot, like that's going to be tough to build a business off of. But if you can know more strategy and understand story structure... that's our unique advantage." – Ryan Koral "Everyone in the AI industry that has attention right now, most of them are not traditionally filmmakers... but the opportunity here, if everyone doesn't know is like whether you yourself are a traditional filmmaker for 10, 15 years, you can learn the tools in a few days, two weeks max." - PJ Accetturo Guest Links Find PJ Accetturo online Follow PJ Accetturo on Instagram | X Check out PJ's newsletter - AI Filmmaking Links  FREE Workshop Available "How to Consistently Earn Over $100k Per Year in Video Production While Working Less Than 40 Hours Per Week" Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group  Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes
