This AI masterclass by AIChief makes AI feel far less scary and a lot more practical. Instead of drowning you in math or theory, it simply explains how AI shows up in everyday life, how it evolved, and how you can start using it to learn faster, build projects, and grow your career.

Key Takeaway:
You don’t need to be a coder or expert to start with AI. You just need curiosity and the willingness to begin.

Anthropic faces a legal challenge in India from a local firm claiming prior rights to its name, complicating expansion as the AI company deepens investment and leadership presence locally.

OpenAI is testing clearly labeled ads in ChatGPT for Free and $8 Go users, with privacy controls and opt-outs, while paid tiers stay ad-free and sensitive topics remain excluded initially.

Anthropic is reportedly close to a $20 billion funding round valuing it at $350 billion, driven by strong investor demand, rising AI costs, rapid innovation, and intensifying competition with OpenAI and others.

Writing effective text prompts for video generation requires clear, descriptive details about the scene, style, action, camera movement, mood, and timing. Refining prompts iteratively helps create cinematic, coherent, and production-ready AI videos that better match creative intent.

For example, prompts like “A low-angle cinematic underwater shot of an ocean full of vibrant, colorful schools of fish swimming in a frenzy,” or “A peaceful, misty morning on the beach, with soft sunlight filtering through a beach chair,” show how specific language guides more accurate visual results.

A Laughter Moment

Seedance 2.0 isn’t just another AI video model; it signals where cinematic AI is truly heading. The focus is shifting from flashy single clips to real storytelling power, with smoother motion, smarter camera logic, and scene-level stability that actually fits into creative production workflows.

Why Seedance 2.0 Matters:

  • Stronger motion coherence across full video sequences.

  • More cinematic, controllable camera movement.

  • Better character and subject consistency over time.

In short, AI video is moving from impressive experiments to practical filmmaking tools, and Seedance 2.0 is a glimpse of that future.
