Hey guys, Happy New Year! 🥂 I wanted to challenge myself to create a coherent narrative film. This piece is a tribute to Singapore’s founding vision, linking our history to our future in space. I focused heavily on visual rhyming—starting with a drawing in a book and ending with the reality in space. Tech Stack: Mid-journey, Nano Banana Pro, Kling, Freepik, ElevenLabs (Voice) and Cap Cut (Editing). Let me know what you think!

Excited to at the click of a prompt create this cover ? What do you think ?

Here are 6 key takeaways distilled: Exploding hardware costs are seen as intentional control Skyrocketing prices for storage, RAM, and GPUs are framed as deliberate collusion by big tech to restrict access to AI computing, especially for consumers and the middle class. AI access is being forced into the cloud By making local AI computing unaffordable, big tech is allegedly pushing all AI usage into centralized cloud platforms, increasing dependency, control, and surveillance. Humans are becoming unwitting data sources Users are portrayed as constant, unpaid AI trainers whose actions, thoughts, and behaviors are tracked and analyzed without meaningful consent. Surveillance has shifted to real-time prediction Society has moved from “store and analyze later” to real-time behavioral modeling, enabling near-total prediction and profiling of individuals’ past, present, and future actions. Human autonomy is at risk Reliance on cloud-based AI is framed as a loss of self-determination; without access to powerful local computing, individuals effectively surrender autonomy and control over their digital lives. Resistance is still possible—but urgent The text calls for resistance through questioning, organizing, boycotts, and demands for affordable computing, localized AI, and open-source hardware/software, warning that advanced AI hardware is being reserved for the elite 1%. If you’d like, I can also rewrite this into a neutral analytical summary, a policy-focused version, or a short manifesto-style statement.
