launched my new project! all done by AI.
Hollywood spent $100M and years to make The Social Network, WeCrashed, SuperPumped. they're too slow. introducing Velocity. legendary tech stories, shipped fast with AI. first drop: Twitter Wars which company should be next?

This is what I’m fixing @Watch_Velocity. Big one coming soon
3 things The Social Network sequel tells us about filmmaking in 2026: 1. The distribution pipeline is broken. The whistleblower story broke 5 years ago, the film arrives now. 2–5 years from script to theater means cinema can't talk about the present. 2. Tech is still filmed by outsiders. That's why it rarely feels true on screen, and why the biggest industry of our time has no insider cinema. 3. Hollywood can't make films that fuel ambition anymore. The Social Network (2010) shaped a generation of founders (including me). This one looks like a warning. If you want to capture reality, find faster ways to make films.

New 3D AI Workflow for Modular Game Characters Running in-game in Unreal Engine! For game-ready characters, generating the whole model in one shot doesn't cut it. You need modular parts. Head, torso, arms, armor, accessories: all as separate meshes so you can swap, iterate, and reuse. This video shows a full pipeline using @AssetHub_io to break a character concept into parts and generate each one separately. It auto-detected the pose, split it into parts, then generated reference images for each piece. Concept image from Nano Banana 2. All part images and high poly meshes generated through AssetHub: Tripo 3.1 for most models, Hitem3D for a few specific parts. After generation: assembled in Blender → AI manual retopo → AI UV unwrapping in 3ds Max → AI texturing (Tripo / Hitem3D) rework in Substance Painter with normals, roughness, and micro-details. All AI functions available on AssetHub. Rigged in Blender, then brought into Unreal Engine with a dynamic cloth sim rig. What used to take weeks is now possible in a fraction of the time. Drop a comment for any questions!

AI is everywhere however what comes next? Community. I just met @niravtolia, CEO and Co-Founder at @Nextdoor - the largest local community platform in the U.S., used by 1 in 3 households for news and events. Nextdoor started from the ashes of a failed startup. It grew into a household name. Then it struggled. Then Nirav came back as CEO. Here are my 6 biggest takeaways from today's episode 👇 1. The crucible moment is about survival, not strategy. There is no spreadsheet. There is no long-term plan. There is only the courage to keep going when things are at their darkest. 2. The only tolerable way through is with other people. Find co-founders you like, respect, and trust equally. Someone who stays when everyone else heads for the exits. 3. Coming back is harder than starting. The answer is never to go back. Learn from every chapter, but always be building phase three. 4. Incumbency is the straightest path to irrelevance. Standing still is moving backwards. The companies that survive are the ones brave enough to reinvent themselves before someone else does it for them. 5. AI and human connection are not in competition. The internet was the age of information. AI is the age of intelligence. What comes next is the age of human connection. 6. Whatever you've achieved, Bill Gurley wants you to 10x it. Not iterate. Multiply. High expectations paired with genuine belief is the rarest thing an investor can offer a founder. Full episode live now. Link in comments. Such an incredible story! Nirav's mentors and friends mentioned in this episode: @sarahleary , @sarahfrier, @kevinolearytv, and @bgurley Thanks so much for coming on the show Nirav!

- AssetHub officially launched - Using Metahuman Component as parts system in UEFN This is crazy! Just discovered I can use the Metahuman Component in UEFN as a general parts system! Perfect for modular characters. So I had to test it out. First step: character design. With GPT Image 2 I got some really solid characters to work with. These are perfect to test anime/ lowpoly models as well. @AssetHub also officially launched so I jumped on a fresh workflow to build the first one. Since I’m aiming for an anime/flat shaded style, I chose Tripo P1 to generate straight to low poly models. Results were perfect for me, UV and textured directly done. Did the main assembly in Blender. I transferred weights onto the new parts (like the jacket here) and used proportional editing to tweak vertices so everything fits together nicely. Then into UEFN / Unreal Engine: For the two-tone shadow look, I made a material that uses the sun direction as a mask. To make all the modular parts work together, I set up a blueprint with the body skeletal mesh as the base, and all the other parts attached as children. Now the really cool part: the Metahuman Component actually lets you plug in extra body parts directly. And every skeletal mesh can have its own Control Rig slot. That means you can layer procedural animations on top of your main animation setup. I used it for procedural eye blinking and hair physics. Since every part is separate, swapping variations is super easy while keeping all animations perfectly synced!

every founder we speak to is struggling to find video creators who get the internet, culture, and storytelling... to date, vetted has accepted 200 creators, and has denied more than 1000 creators but we are nowhere near satisfied, and want to get that number to 3000 , without sacrificing quality our goal is to create the most potent talent pool to give brands access to the best creative talent, and talented creatives access to the most high quality projects we're looking for internet creatives who: - have their own unique style - understand virality - can see social trends in advance - are absolutely obsessed with their craft if this sounds like you, we'd love to feature you... apply here: waitlist.vetted.cv

General Catalyst just co-led a $31.5 million seed round into a blatant rip-off of my company, Kled. (skip to 40 seconds if you want to skip context) I would typically not speak on things like this, but this level of blatant copycatting is egregious and completely unacceptable, and needs to be made an example of. This is one of hundreds of YC startups who have conducted this disgusting behavior. Unimaginative slop that continues to get rewarded due to nepotism.
Super excited to colead @LuelCompanyAI’s $31.2M seed round. There are certain teams you meet where you know within 5 minutes that you want to partner with them Luel is one of those team. William and Inigo are incredibly ambitious founders who understand the human data bottleneck from the inside out. They've built Luel to create a scalable, reliable supply of that data — something that will be foundational to the next generation of AI.

Just went on my first @MTSlive from a nook I found at our longevity event Vitalist Bay to talk about why firms like @a16z @AnthropicAI are opening their first non US office in Japan. If you are a founder or investor exploring building with Japan, come chat with our team at @coral_capital 👋🏻
