Morning fellas… Friday is upon us! This week, AI hit harder than your morning coffee, with machines making movies from two frames, apps building themselves from vibes, and doorbells learning to talk back like they own the block. If you thought AI was just a side hustle, think again. The future just showed up at your porch, and it’s smarter, snarkier, and way more relentless than ever.

Luma Levels Up: AI Video With Actual Control

Luma, one of the few AI video companies actually obsessed with cinematic quality instead of party tricks, just dropped a model that gives creators real control instead of crossed fingers. The new system lets you lock in a starting frame and an ending frame, then intelligently generates the video in between while preserving motion, character consistency, and performance timing. This is built into Luma’s Dream Machine and aimed squarely at filmmakers, animators, and creators who want intention, not roulette. It means fewer hallucinated limbs, fewer jumpy transitions, and scenes that feel planned instead of improvised by a sleep deprived robot. Luma isn’t trying to replace directors, it’s trying to turn everyone into one, and that’s a MUCH smarter play.

Lovable’s $330M Power Move: From Prompt to Product

Lovable just smacked the world with $330 million and a $6.6 billion price tag, proving you do not need a PhD to build software, just a bad attitude and an AI that actually obeys. Their platform takes your half-baked ideas and spits out full apps, backend, UI, and everything else you can think of, like a digital genie that laughs if you try to negotiate. Uber, Klarna, and Zendesk are all on board because Lovable does not mess around. It mass-produces ambition like a caffeine-addled assembly line. Every day 100,000 projects pop into existence, basically a small country coding itself awake while the rest of us are still stuck in Notepad purgatory. Investors are tossing cash like it’s free, and anyone still typing HTML by hand might want to check if their therapist is taking appointments. Lovable isn’t just a startup, it’s a software-fueled middle finger to anyone who thinks coding is supposed to be hard.

Alexa Talks Back: Your Porch Just Got Smarter

Amazon just took your Ring doorbell and turned it into a snarky concierge that talks back like your wise‑ass cousin who knows too much, rolling out an AI feature called Greetings that makes Alexa actually converse with whoever stands on your porch. If a delivery driver shows up, Alexa will bark orders about where to stash your package or even ask when they’ll swing back for a signature, all based on what the camera thinks it sees, and if some telemarketer shows up you can program it to give them the digital cold shoulder right on the doorstep. It will even chat up friends or family and take messages when you are busy being sane somewhere else, turning your doorbell into a sarcastic receptionist tucked behind glass and silicon. Just watch out because the AI doesn’t really know people yet, so your buddy in a uniform might get treated like a stranger in need of instructions… cozy and smart if you like robots with attitude, weird if you do not.

The Tommy Vee Take

That’s it for this week. AI is no longer waiting politely in the wings, it’s barging in, taking names, and rewriting the rules while the rest of us try to keep up.

Keep your focus tight, your instincts tighter, and remember… AI doesn’t wait, so why should you? This is Tommy Vee, signing off.
