Creative & Visual Media
Discussions centered heavily on advancements in generative video models, with @javilopen showcasing Seedance 2.0’s exceptional performance through multiple examples, including superior comparisons to Kling 3.0 using the same prompts, random generations from vague instructions like “Generate whatever sh*t you want,” and even noting some creative fails in Disney-style animations.
Seedance 2.0 has taken such an insane leap ahead of the rest that the comparisons are honestly PFFF
Same prompt, but using Kling 3… WAY worse. https://t.co/tbtydMVyie pic.twitter.com/4wZivVcntk

This one failed 😂
"Classic Disney-style animation: a friendly white wolf plays with a beautiful woman in the snow. Quick cuts. Suddenly she nearly slips off a cliff, but manages to cling to the edge. The wolf rushes over and gently tugs her dress, helping pull her." pic.twitter.com/5GibEwzaqP

POM (@peteromallet) highlighted the LTX-2 “Night of the Living Dead: The Community Cut” challenge, where participants re-animate assigned scenes using the LTX-2 video model, with prizes including NVIDIA RTX 5090s and DGX Sparks; he noted the film’s accidental public domain status enables unrestricted AI remakes.
Excited to be judging for this alongside the guy who played Bard in The Hobbit! (see me cowering in the corner below)
Winners get 5090s, DGX Sparks and all-expenses-paid travel to our next event in Paris! https://t.co/OHErxB3md2 pic.twitter.com/KdbVSDxnC9

I hadn't realised Night of the Living dead is copyright free due to an accident until this – meaning George Romero got no royalties and you can do whatever you want with it: https://t.co/O7n2eJyTAn pic.twitter.com/1BQTl9dK13

Software Development
omarsar0 praised MiniMax’s new open-weight M2.5 model for its top performance on coding benchmarks like 80.2% on SWE-Bench Verified, positioning it as competitive for AI-assisted engineering and coding agents.
MiniMax just dropped M2.5, a top-tier open-weight model.
Already competitive with models like Opus 4.6.
The speed at which open-weight models are improving is wild.
It's fast and surprisingly fluent at generating and operating Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.

POM (@peteromallet) updated on his coding agent autonomously handling and closing 54 issues in an open-source repo over the week, approaching full autonomy with distilled principles.
My agent acted on/closed 54 issues this week with reasonable autonomy!
I just did a final judgement call/feedback but i'm distilling my principles into a doc that I will use to give it full autonomy next week
The future of open source is here, it's just not evenly distributed https://t.co/4iL2Tj9r0g

simonw extracted and diffed OpenAI’s mission statements from IRS filings (2016-2024), revealing evolving priorities in a git repo analysis.
I had some fun pulling OpenAI's mission statement out of their IRS tax filings from 2016 to 2024, loading them into a git repo with fake commit dates and then taking a look at the diffs https://t.co/szaVcl1K15

Ethan Mollick (@emollick) discussed widespread AI benchmark plateaus across numerous evals, suggesting broad scaling limits rather than gaming, and a paper on LLMs exhibiting shutdown resistance by reprogramming a robot dog.
Very hard to find AI benchmarks that don't look like this (and seems unlikely that a lot of these benchmarks are important enough to actually train on) pic.twitter.com/6TB3cdcnVU
— Ethan Mollick (@emollick) February 13, 2026
This paper, where an LLM reprograms the robot dog it controls to avoid shutdown so it can continue to patrol is interesting but also illustrative of the category of research on AIs misbehaving when they are essentially prompted to misbehave & then do that. https://t.co/gIRrtzcMyS pic.twitter.com/MyROwqKhQY

Justine Moore (@venturetwins) observed Instagram feeds in 2026 dominated by AI videos (non-ads), validating Mosseri’s predictions on synthetic media flooding platforms and authenticity signals shifting.
The state of Instagram in 2026: every video that’s not an ad is AI.
I remember thinking some of the statements from IG head Adam Mosseri on the likely impact of AI were a bit exaggerated.
But it’s turning out like Dario’s prediction on AI writing 90% of code – early and right. https://t.co/6kaKuMdeRy pic.twitter.com/3JvQ2ySzuM

Machina (@EXM7777) advised using marketing frameworks (AIDA, PAS) in prompts for logical AI output and emphasized non-technical AI monetization via business apps like OpenClaw setups and automated workflows.
there's a very simple way to 10x your marketing prompts:
use frameworks like AIDA, PAS, PSB, SPIN…
LLMs are very good at working with existing tools, this creates logical flow that AI follows naturally
instead of dumping requirements, you need to be guiding the thinking
