The Green Season, Episode 1: Seedbed An animated slice-of-life series about one spring on a duck rice farm in California's Sacramento Valley, and the girl who came up the river road. ABOUT THE EPISODE Princeton, California, years after the Collapse. A few hundred people still live on the river around Lopes Family Farms, because when the machines stopped, the ducks didn't. Kit is nineteen and knows everything about rice and nothing about anything else. Then Moss, the river trader, comes up the road with salt, wire, the mail, and a girl from the city who calls herself Just Wren. She can't farm. She says she learned trucks. Kit's mother gives him one job: teach her the work. WHAT EPISODE 1 SHOWS ABOUT GROWING RICE The seedbed: rice starts in a shed, not a field. Seed is soaked, sown close in trays of finely sieved soil, and kept warm for about two weeks until the seedlings stand a hand tall with three leaves. Flooding: paddies are leveled within a finger's width so water sits evenly, then river water is let in through ditches and gates. The brooder: 400 ducklings wait in the straw for their jobs in the field. Transplanting: lines of a dozen people move backward through the mud, planting a few stems at a time along pegged strings. Press, step. Press, step. WHAT IS AIGAMO DUCK RICE FARMING? Aigamo (合鴨) farming, or aigamo nōhō, is a Japanese method of growing rice with ducks in place of herbicides and pesticides. Aigamo are a cross between wild mallards and domestic ducks. Once the transplanted rice takes root, ducklings are released into the flooded paddies, where they: eat weeds before the weeds crowd the rice eat insects that damage the crop fertilize the field with their droppings stir the water with their paddling, which clouds it, slows weed growth, and pushes the young rice to root deeper and stand stronger When the grain begins to head, the ducks come out so they don't eat the harvest. One field produces two foods, rice and duck. Japanese farmer Takao Furuno spent decades refining this method and sharing it freely, and his book The Power of Duck helped carry it around the world. In the show, this is the method that kept the valley fed when everything else fell over. THE ENDING: 合鴨の教え · THE TEACHINGS OF THE GREEN SEASON Each episode ends with a new teaching about duck rice, written as a lesson about life.

November 1941. A sailor leaves for the Pacific and she ties a red ribbon to his collar on a train platform. Five weeks later the sky over Hawaii fills with aircraft. Built this with @dreamina_ai to test cinematic options for our Danger City project, and it turned into a WWII wedding film. Five people play every role. One of us plays every Japanese character in the war, on purpose. Quick one: what was the actual Japanese code phrase that launched the Pearl Harbor attack? Part 1 of 3. #DreaminaCPP

Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow. After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests. We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort. Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research. Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

For real 😁😆 I mean, even though I’m a copywriter I don’t have the capacity to write such a weird and complex prompt. The only thing I have is my wild imagination LOL. And when you combine that with Grok it’s very powerful. Grok may not be the smartest LLM, but it’s currently the most uncensored one out there. Their image and video models are now completely moderated, but the LLM is still very unhinged and you can literally ask it anything 😆 It's crazy how Grok respond to your weird request, even they're time that you need to tell Grok to slow down 😆😆

About My GenAI Workflow and How People Tend to Overthink It I get asked this a lot. Bro, what's your workflow? What tools are you using? What agents? Any special prompt engineering techniques? Some specific ComfyUI node setup? And every time, I kind of feel like whatever they're imagining is this super complex, elaborate system. The reality is my workflow is dead simple. Basic. Almost embarrassingly primitive. So if you ask me what essential tools I use, my answer is just two things: 1⃣ Google Spreadsheet. Yes, literally a f**cking Google Spreadsheet. Not Notion. Not Obsidian. A freaking spreadsheet. 2⃣An LLM. In my case, Claude and Grok. That's it. That's the whole toolkit. No agents. No complicated ComfyUI nodes. No style transfer setups or whatever. Just pure prompting. And about the prompting thing, this is where I need to give some context. My prompts are 100% built with LLM. I'm no prompt wizard writing a complex prompt as if I'm a native English speaker LMAO 😂😂😂 I have a basic writing ability, but that's in my native language. Even though I understand English, it's not the language I use day to day, which means my English vocabulary is pretty limited. People who actually grew up in English speaking countries have a real advantage because they just get the nuance naturally. But me????? I don't have that. So how do I pull this off? Simple. I just use LLM. I think a lot of people still underestimate how much you can actually do a lot of things with LLM. And another thiiiing. I use zero thing of whatsoever people called it prompt engineering techniques 😆😆 What the hell is that? I see some big accounts out there sharing these super detailed instruction prompts, all structured and formatted for this specific use case or that. Well... I don't really do that 😆 The way I talk to my LLM is the same way I talk to my neighbor. "Bro, you got any ideas about this?" Or the same way I brainstorm with my creative friends. Totally conversational. I don't even set my LLM to respond in proper English. We go full rojaxxxx, mixed Bahasa Indonesia, Sunda, Jawa, Malay, Singlish, Tinglish, absolute chaos. I genuinely treat it like a friend. 😆😆 + + + Let me give you a concrete example. Here's how I approached my project Sisa Malam. I just told the LLM: "Bro, I have this idea. I want to make a story, super simple, set in a modest flat somewhere in Southeast Asia. I'm imagining the vibe being this mix of Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila..." The ideas I had were rough, coming from personal experience, things I've lived through, and my love for Southeast Asia as a region. I shared all of that, and then I asked: "What do you think?" Yes. I literally asked the LLM for its opinion. 😁 Sometimes the response was kind of lame, but occasionally interesting. The lame stuff I'd push back on immediately, same as I would with a friend "Come on bro, that's weird, why would it go like that, blabla..." And when an idea worked, I'd go" Okay yeah, that one we can use." We kept going back and forth until we hit a point where I felt: okay, this is something we can actually develop. Then we'd lock in the rules. Cinematography direction, visual approach, all of that. And again, I'd ask: "What do you think?" Because I actually want to hear what the LLM thinks. And sometimes, genuinely, the answer was brilliant. From there, I'd have a working prompt framework built in that same conversation. One where I could just describe a scene casually, like "okay in this scene this happens," and the LLM would execute it. And then comes the most important part: testing, testing, testing, and more testing. You have to test the prompt. If the result isn't working, I ask why. "Why does it look like this? Maybe we need to try it this way?" Yoooo where's the CLEAVAGE!!!! I said show the godamnn cleavage! Dude make it sexier, crash zoom-in!! LMAO!! And meanwhile!! There's this dude who's been chasing me to my email, and even to my Linkedin account asking heeey how do you bypass moderation broo??? LMAO 😂😂😂 Well i just told you how, hahahha 😆 Some even wanna pay me for consultation fee. I told them, nooooo you don't need that dude 😂😂😂 Especially with Grok, damn my conversations are pure chaos. Until eventually we hit that moment: "Okay YES. This is it. That's the one." And whatever results work well, I document everything in Google Spreadsheet. That's the process. Scene by scene. Not automated through some agent that spits out a full script. I look at each prompt one by one, we analyze together, we test together. That's the whole workflow. 100% prompting. The ideas come from me, which is what makes it feel personal. There are so many stories I was never able to express before, and now I finally can. The LLM handles the technical side of language, translating my raw ideas into something that actually works as a prompt. For the video side, I edit in CapCut. All the visual aesthetics are handled there. But how I build what goes into those visuals? That's all prompt. I do admire people who go deep into ComfyUI. The setups and workflows look genuinely impressive. But I don't go there. My approach was 100% prompt, built together with an LLM. If I want my character to do a dangdut dance, I ask the LLM how to describe dangdut movement in a prompt. No motion control. No motion reference. Just prompting. These days I'm also using Omni-Reference a lot, so most of the time I'm just building character sheets now. + + + After reading all of this, I think you can see how simple and primitive my actual process is. No complex workflows. No complex setups. 😆😆😆 And honestly, I think people overcomplicate this too much. Though I get it, it really does depend on the project. But for me, it's always this simple. And anyone can do it. The only thing you actually need is the willingness to explore. Because right now, the tendency in the AI space is that if someone sees something they like, and immediately the first question is "what's the prompt, what's the prompt?" If you take the time to actually analyze what you're seeing, you'll figure out exactly how it's done. We're all using the same tools. The difference is just how you choose to approach them. And there's no right or wrong, because what matters in the end is whether it works for you.
SISA MALAM (Remnants of the Night) An AI-generated short film by Dan Pradana Made with Seedance 2.0 via @runwayml Edited with CapCut @capcutapp @capcutapp_jp A slice of life. A woman. A man. A flat somewhere in the city. And the quiet hours between afternoon and night where something unspoken slowly finds its way out. No action scenes. No explosions. Just love that finds its way through moments. + + + While AI influencers keep declaring Hollywood is cooked just for clout or engagement, I've been quietly trying to figure out how far Seedance 2.0 can actually go. And it's been one of the most challenging and rewarding things I've made. Fight scenes with Seedance 2.0 are easy. But drama is not. The goal was simple but hard: stop relying on random footage stitched together with a voiceover, and instead build something continuous. Scene by scene. Moment by moment. Reaction by reaction. A love story told through glances, small talk, and the kind of silences that say more than dialogue. Far from perfect, but further than I expected. + + + The characters are entirely AI-generated using Nano Banana. But the souls behind them are real. Risa (Icha) was inspired by a remarkable woman I admire. A middle-aged lady who could not have children of her own adopted an orphan girl at the age of eight. That girl is Icha. She grew up to become someone with a depth of warmth and maternal instinct that is hard to describe. When her adoptive mother later took in two more orphans, Icha, now 24, naturally became both an older sister and a mother figure to them. Through her I wanted to explore something I find genuinely beautiful about Southeast Asian women: that nurturing instinct, so quiet and so deep, it doesn't need to be taught. It simply is. Riandi (Rian) is a reflection of my younger self. Long before I married my wife, we lived in different cities. Every weekend I would take a two hour travel bus just to see her. No WhatsApp back then, no easy communication. Just a longing strong enough to move. We never went anywhere fancy. Cheap warung food, roadside stalls, just sitting together. It was never about the place. It was about needing to see her. That kind of love makes you do things that make no logical sense, and you do them gladly. We eventually got married. She gave me three boys. All of them. And she remains the only woman in the house, an absolute princess surrounded by chaos, and she handles it with more grace than any of us deserve. + + + I hope you enjoy the video. The technology is there. It has come a long way, and it keeps getting better. Looking forward to keep experimenting. 🙂
