You single-handedly proved AI can make a blockbuster-looking music video faster than anyone can finish a joint, then spent the next week outraged that the same robots are steal-stealing culture. Ethical crusader by day, feature-film-in-an-afternoon flexer by... also day.

Turned daily hustle into real momentum: crossed 1M TikTok likes, spawned a fan-run Discord, and amassed 30M+ views while showcasing a DIY pipeline that produced a viral, projection-ready music video in an afternoon.

To invent new languages of visual and musical storytelling with generative tools while dragging the conversation about ethics and ownership into the light, bridging experimental art, real-world projection, and community-driven culture.

Authenticity over algorithmic pleasing; creators should control and be compensated for their work; technology should expand imagination, not hollow out IP or subsidize unchecked extraction; transparency, iteration, and hands-on craft matter more than hype.

Relentless experimentation and technical fluency with generative pipelines, strong storytelling instincts, proven viral reach, and the ability to translate digital work into real-world experiences and communities (Discord, merch interest).

Brutally honest takes and fast critique can polarize audiences and partners; high-volume experimentation risks burnout, inconsistent polish, and occasional tool-related frustration that undermines scaling projects.

On X, lean into process-driven storytelling: publish concise multi-tweet threads that break down 'how I made this' with short native videos/GIFs, post behind-the-scenes clips and before/after assets, pin a portfolio thread, host regular Twitter Spaces AMAs with collaborators and legal/ethics guests, convert viral posts into step tutorials to build trust, funnel engaged followers into Discord/newsletter for product drops and collabs, and use targeted hashtags (#GenerativeArt, #AIethics) plus consistent scheduling to amplify reach.

Fun fact: made a ' $700,000,000 ', style music video in an afternoon using custom models and self-recorded samples. 30M+ total views across work, 1M+ TikTok likes after a year of daily grind, and over 32K tweets, collabs open @westcoastailabs.

Ok here's my hot take of the day.... They're not even hiding it anymore. Sora 2 and Midjourney can pump out South Park episodes, generate Pikachu content ad nauseam, re- create famous movie scenes like James Bond or Chucky or Halloween, replicate Star Wars... all trained on copyrighted material they never licensed. Their defense? "It's parody." "It's transformative." "It's fair use." Bullshit. They're creating the ability to mass-produce content that directly replicates IP worth billions, and they're doing it because they can. Because the US announced no AI regulation for the next 10 years. That's a decade-long free pass to drain every franchise, every character, every world that studios and creators spent fortunes building. By the time lawmakers wake up, these models will have ingested everything. This isn't about innovation or creativity. It's about tech companies exploiting a regulatory vacuum to monetize IP they didn't create, didn't license, and don't own. I already hear the naysayers saying "IP is dead" bla bla bla, but it's usually from the same people who haven't made anything original themselves, so it's like getting medical advice from the garbage man. Parody law was meant to protect artists making commentary not billion-dollar companies building tools that can churn out infinite knockoff content at scale. The 10-year no-regulation promise just gave them the green light to pillage the entire entertainment industry's IP library. I would have hoped AI studios and established creators wouldn't have taken the bait, but so far I've seen people who have touted "AI for Good" and ethical training models immediately flip once they had access to the tools to do so.

This may be an unpopular position but I have zero interest in ever working with real actors. Not because I can't. Not because the budget isn't there. Because I've watched how they move through rooms and the entitlement is structural, not personal. Actors spent decades training to embody characters someone else wrote, in worlds someone else built, wearing clothes someone else designed, delivering lines someone else crafted and somehow they became the talent in the room. The face on the poster. The name above the title. The person the culture decided to worship. Meanwhile the writer who built the universe gets a backend credit. The director negotiates around the actor's 'process.' The crew works 16-hour days so the principal can feel comfortable. We did this. The industry manufactured it, and audiences bought it. Actors aren't just performers anymore; they're a class. And like most classes built on cultural myth rather than merit, they know how to protect the moat. I make films and stories. I build worlds. I craft the character designs, their outfit designs, and the scripts they embody. I don't need to import that hierarchy into my creative process nor do I have a desire to. I'm a builder who stopped genuflecting to a system that was never designed to center people like me anyway. The craft doesn't need the performance industry. It never did. We just let them convince us otherwise.

THEY LET THE WEIRD ONE IN! ๐ŸŽ‰ After months of lurking outside Runway's digital doorstep like a hopeful stray, @runwayml has adopted me into their Creative Partner program. Time to birth some beautifully unsettling digital anomalies into existence. I've got a folder of cursed ideas that's been marinading for months. Time to cook. #ThisIsntEvenMyFinalForm Yours truly, The Reason They'll Add New Terms of Service
