AI Ads/ NBA Final
AI just crashed the NBA Finals — and it’s as wild as it sounds.
Prediction market Kalshi dropped one of the first AI-made commercials ever to hit a stage this big — a 30-second, borderline “unhinged” spot during Game 3 on ABC.

⚡ The Quick Breakdown
✅ 30-second ad
✅ Made in 48 hours
✅ 15 clips, 300–400 Veo 3 generations
✅ Scripts & prompts: Gemini + ChatGPT
✅ Veo 3 even made characters speak (sort of…)
🎬 Who’s Behind It?
AI filmmaker PJ Accetturo — he did it all solo, documented the process, and spilled the secrets on X.
💸 The Cost?
95% cheaper than a normal shoot.
High-energy AI ads = the ad trend of 2025, says PJ.
🤔 Why It Matters
✔️ AI is officially on prime-time TV.

Meta
Meta just dropped V-JEPA 2 — an AI that doesn’t just read text, but actually understands how the real world works. Think of it as giving robots a common sense of physics.

📺 How it works:
Trained on 1M+ hours of video
Learned how objects move, collide & react
Plans multi-step tasks using visual goals
🤖 Big results:
✅ 65–80% success rate picking & placing unfamiliar objects
⚡ 30x faster than Nvidia’s Cosmos
🏆 Matches state-of-the-art video understanding benchmarks
🧩 Reality check:
Humans ace physics reasoning (85–95%), but AI is still catching up. Meta dropped new benchmarks to track progress.
🌍 Why it matters:
This brings us closer to robots with common sense — adapting to messy, unpredictable environments without endless training.
💡 TL;DR:
Meta’s V-JEPA 2 could help smart robots think on their feet — by learning the real-world physics we take for granted.

Manus AI, the startup behind the Manus assistant, has launched a new “chat mode” that’s completely free and unrestricted for all users, a bold move aimed at challenging giants like OpenAI and DeepSeek.

The Browser Company has launched a new AI-first web browser called Dia, signaling a shift away from traditional tools like Arc as AI continues to reshape how we interact with the internet. Unlike Arc, which struggled to gain mainstream traction, Dia integrates AI directly into the browser experience; its URL bar doubles as a chatbot interface that can search, summarize files, draft content based on open tabs, and respond to user preferences like writing tone or coding style.
