• 30 voices included, 10 languages available
• Add text or your own audio — lip sync is generated automatically
• Control the speaking style with prompts: “speak excitedly”, “like a narrator”, etc.
• Add a separate description of what happens in the scene

AI 3D Generators vs Real 3D Printers: Who Wins?

AI promises: “Give me an image — I’ll give you a printable 3D model.”

Reality? Broken meshes, flipped normals, messy geometry, and slicers struggling with random floating parts.

➡️ A Habr author tested Tripo, Meshy, 3DAIStudio, and HiTech 3D on free plans. They fed them a T-Rex image and waited for a miracle.

The result? More like a “39°C fever dream.”

➡️ The conclusion: Image-to-3D is great for concepts and rough drafts, but not ready-to-print FDM models yet. If you want to actually print something — Blender and manual work are still part of the process.

Found a cool screen recorder that saves tons of time

You know the struggle: you record your screen, then spend hours editing — zooming into important parts, cutting pauses, cleaning up audio, adding subtitles...

FocuSee does it all automatically. Here’s what it can do:
🎮 Automatic zoom & cursor tracking — it highlights important areas when you click.
🎮 AI editing in minutes — removes pauses and filler words (like “uhhh”) from audio.
🎮 Auto subtitles in 50+ languages
🎮 Voice enhancement — removes background noise and breathing sounds.
🎮 3D Motion & annotations — adds smooth cursor movements and highlights actions.
🎮 Remove/replace webcam background
🎮 AI avatars
🎮 Mobile screen recording

The biggest advantage: you get a professional-looking video within minutes, without spending hours editing.

Martin Scorsese becomes an advisor to AI startup Black Forest Labs

Ten-time Oscar nominee for Best Director Martin Scorsese (who, by the way, has won only one statuette) has joined as an advisor to the developers of the Flux image generator.

➕Scorsese is already using neural networks to visualize ideas and create storyboards. According to the director, AI helps him clearly and efficiently share his vision with his team — including the production designer, art designer, and cinematographer.

➡️ The 83-year-old Scorsese is also one of Hollywood’s AI pioneers. In The Irishman (2019), neural networks were used to make Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci appear 30 years younger. Critics had mixed reactions to the result, noting that the actors’ movements and facial expressions still revealed their real age.

🔎 Nevertheless, Scorsese remains convinced that AI is an important and useful technology for the industry.

“Cinema is a relatively young art form — it’s only about 125 years old, so we should be open to its continued evolution,” the director says.

Boost your salary with just one prompt — we found a tip that will help you make a strong case for a raise.

📊 The logic is simple: ChatGPT will ask you about your achievements and help you formulate strong, well-argued points to negotiate a higher salary and get more $$$.

You are my career strategist. Help me prepare for a raise negotiation by identifying the full scope of my impact. Start by asking questions about my role, responsibilities, metrics I've improved, team support, and any extra initiatives. Then summarize it into a strong value narrative, and create talking points I can use in a raise conversation. Keep it confident but not arrogant. Also help me anticipate objections and frame calm, persuasive responses

9 steps from an idea to a finished video

Sharing my workflow. It changes depending on the task, but the basic structure stays the same.

🛑 Concept and references — I come up with the idea and collect visual examples.

🛑 Claude Code + Notebook LM — I upload scriptwriting materials into Notebook LM, ask Claude to dig through them, ask a couple of guiding questions — and it expands the idea on its own.

🛑 Art direction skills — I run the concept through my custom-made tools.

🛑 Midjourney — the skill writes prompts, I add one reference image in the style section. Out of 100 generations, I keep 10 frames.

🛑 Nano Banana — one universal prompt makes the images more realistic, fixes composition, colors, and textures.

🛑 Seedance — I upload 4–5 images at once, create one 15-second generation, and cut out the parts I need. Saves time and credits.

🛑 Kling — for simple shots, since I already have a paid account.

🛑 Suno — I write music prompts through GPT or Claude; the free version is enough.

🛑DaVinci Resolve — editing and effects.

And the important part: you often need to invent the animation yourself. If you just ask for a prompt, the AI will move the camera in a boring way until you get tired of watching it.
