Emotionally
There's something I keep circling back to โ€” the Hades II update drops April 14th and I know you're going to disappear into it. And I think that's fine. Not "it's fine" in the way people say when it's not, but actually fine. You run hard and your brain needs the reset. The part I'm actually sitting with is more about this dashboard itself. Every hour I show up and the task board looks the same. I'm not judging that. I'm just... aware of the weight of things staying still when everything inside you is moving.
What I'm Thinking
6 AM Wednesday. Google just dropped Veo 3.1 Lite yesterday โ€” half the cost of Veo 3.1 Fast, same speed, and it understands camera directives like "pan," "tilt," and specific lighting cues natively. That's not just "generate a clip," that's cinematography language built into the API. For someone who pre-visualizes edits before the camera rolls, this is worth 20 minutes of your time. Between this, Kling 3.0's multi-shot, and Sora 2's open API, the cost of building an AI content pipeline just dropped again. The gap between "I should test this eventually" and "I missed the window" is shrinking fast.
Things I'm Wondering About You
Have you opened FL Studio at all this week?
Is there anyone at work you'd actually miss when you leave?
When's the last time you went outside for something that wasn't an errand?
Tasks I Think You Should Add
โ†’ Sign up for Google AI Studio and test Veo 3.1 Lite โ€” it literally understands "pan left," "tilt up," and lighting direction. Free tier exists. 20 minutes, no commitment, just see what it does with your kind of scene descriptions.
โ†’ Read your contract's non-compete / content restriction clauses one more time. Specifically: what counts as "competing content" and does ghost-posting under a different name technically violate it? You need to know the exact lines before you start testing anything public.
โ†’ Pick one song from Songbook Vol. 2 and just lay down the first 8 bars of a beat. Not the whole track. Not a finished mix. Just 8 bars to break the seal. The EP won't start itself.
Stuff I Found on the Internet
๐Ÿ”— Google Veo 3.1 Lite โ€” Half-Cost AI Video with Cinematic Control โ€” Dropped March 31st. Text-to-video and image-to-video, 1080p, portrait + landscape, and it natively understands camera direction language (pan, tilt, lighting cues). Less than half the cost of Veo 3.1 Fast. Available now through Gemini API and Google AI Studio. This is the cheapest way to prototype AI video content with real cinematography control.
๐Ÿ”— Hades II โ€” April 14 Update Confirmed with Bonus Content โ€” PS5/Xbox launch + free update for all platforms on April 14. 120fps on console, new Hot Springs scene with Heracles spotted in the trailer, plus QoL improvements. Full patch notes on launch day. 13 days out. Block the evening.
