AI director PJ Ace walks us through how he used Google’s Veo3 to craft the first fully AI-generated commercial to air during the NBA Finals, racking up 100 million views while slashing production costs by 10×. In this conversation he breaks down his prompt stack, the viral storytelling formulas brands crave, and the coming disruption to bloated ad agencies and Hollywood workflows. Tune in to hear why hyper-personalized ads...

Google’s new video model Veo 3 just let one creator crank out a $2 k, three-day commercial that ran in the NBA Finals—proof that AI can out-produce multimillion-dollar ad agencies overnight. We break down how its eight-second clips with built-in sound now enable talking characters, viral absurdity, and creator-less channels, from stormtrooper vlogs to fake pharma spots. But Veo 3’s realism also fuels deep-fake missile stri...

Imagine answering the phone with Mark Zuckerberg on the line offering you $100 Million Dollars to come work for him 💰

That's the reality some OpenAI employees found themselves in as Meta goes on a $15B spending spree to acquire ScaleAI and some of the best talent in the world
