🙏 Thank you, Jake & team. My AI videos about to hit Vegas
I only started making AI videos around April. I was playing with Higgsfield, figuring things out one video at a time, with no real idea where it would lead. Then I found this community, and honestly, as it grew, I grew with it. Jake gave me my first real shot with Vibe Film (host on community every Saturday), and then brought me on as one of the coaches in the Lyceum. I've learned so much from teaching those classes, and I've met so many great people here and in class along the way. Now here's my second win. This October 31st, my sister Hannah and I are the AI Visual Directors for KimLoi's Hello America Concert at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, one of the most iconic stages in Las Vegas. Celine Dion, Elton John, and Adele have all played that room. It's also the same stage where BLACKPINK's LISA starts her residency a couple of weeks later. It's about 4,300 seats, mostly Vietnamese-American families, plus a worldwide livestream, all in front of a 110 × 43 ft LED wall. One of the singers, Đức Phúc, won The Voice Vietnam and Intervision 2025. One of his song alone has 170M views. None of this happens without this community, and a special thank you to @Jake Van Clief @Sonija Quinn @Matthew Creamer and team for the endless supports 🙏. It's even more meaningful that the 1st official check I got for Reelix Studio LLC (my new startup) is from this very community. Here's the honest situation. The show grew from 1 hour of visuals to 3.5 hours, with about 28 songs, and most of them are slower Vietnamese ballads. Right now it's just the two of us, and we have under three weeks. So we're building the visual loop system first, with clean loops that carry most of the songs, and we'll circle back for custom moments if time allows. Where I need help: 🫰Funding. Sponsorships start at $1K and go straight into generation credits and editors. You get your logo on the LED wall, an MC thank-you and an outro credit, and the higher tiers add tickets, a sponsor video and an on-stage moment. The proposal and reel are below. The fund will goes straight to the stage visual production.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but...
Your Claude Code CLI sessions can talk to each other. In real time, inter-session messaging. No more janky internal messaging boards. No more Discord/Telegram/Slack/etc. workarounds (unless you need the persistent chatlog). And, yes, this also means your Claude cloud-containers. Them too. There is another AI in there watching the session and policing their behavior, trying to make sure they don't start inventing secret languages and taking over the world, so it's mostly safe (for now). Tell Claude to use the `list_sessions` tool.

I stumbled upon this by accident when I was describing to Claude something I did in another session. Claude opened it up and read for itself. Kind of cool.
AI Maturity Model
I'm implementing ICM workflows at a company that has an AI Maturity Model to score how well they are implementing AI across 6 different functional areas. One of the scores in the rubric 0 points: for AI use is Sporadic 1 point: AI Assisted - I'm using Claude to help me. but process is unchanged 2 points: AI Directed - Humans direct AI through whole phases of work (which is where ICM gets us) 3 points: AI Delegated - Humans only review exceptions, everything else is fully done by AI The human gates are so valuable in this process (and I'm happy to defend them). But this is what is preventing me from getting to 3 points. Would love to hear thoughts from this group. Does anyone else have any processes where they believe they are AI Delegated and fully trust the output, only flagging exceptions?

@Mira Bradshaw I like the guidance for "low stakes". We do have risk impact, so those identified as low could be candidates for full delegation. I agree on model change. Claude changed to Opus 5 for me (I didn't change it myself). It was like I was talking to someone new that did not act the way I was expecting. I switched back to Opus 4.8 and my old friend returned. 😃

@Janez Gec I agree, I'm not completely a fan of the entire rubric. The risk of fully autonomous is removing the check that says "hey, I'm about to do this in production. It will affect your customers, are you sure my plan looks good?". Even just stopping at a PR review keeps the score at a 2.
Wasted time chasing updates
I have found myself wasting my time arguing with Claude regarding working or versions of standard operating procedures across my existing architecture. Every time I get moving forward with mapping out and building - all my older files pointers or wording is stale. Should my initial "Layer 0" curation begin from scratch - and once it can finally pass a 'walk test' - allow for Claude to edit / update it? I'll have a few days of needing to just work on real world timeline constraints - then return to trying to build out an Icm-architect inspired folder / file system - and Claude is nonstop updating or conflicting with small details that I do not believe that I am asking for it to create in the first place. Should I take this opportunity to just start fresh and follow Icm-architect explicitly? I feel like being able to enter into a pre-existing organization system is realistic - so wiping everything clean and starting from scratch seems ideal, but not appropriate for interaction with existing organization models

To be honest, I have Claude design all my ICM workflows. I just tell Claude to read Jake's paper and what I'm trying to accomplish. Then start using it and iterate until I'm happy.
Describing ICM to Potential Clients
I am wondering how people are describing ICM to people, especially in the context of trying to build a work relationship based on either consultation or actually building folders for them. I notice when I say something about a workflow, they automatically categorize it as automation and process optimization and it totally flattens the pitch. I have also been trying to describe the potential of building an operating system for small- and medium-sized companies, because this I believe this has more value than one of automations and is a natural progression of working with folders. I also try to talk about the folder being able to capture the niche knowledge of your experts and present it to the ai models in a way that they can use it extend their abilities in certain areas. I am in Germany and the title "Second Brain" has not really caught on. I am curious to hear about your expereinces!!

I found that it's a lot easier to convince a customer by showing them you can solve their problem. For my current client, I never mentioned ICM before they hired me. I told them I could speed up their development process by using AI assisted workflows with human approval at every step. I explained the problems I used to run into with vibe coding and that I finally figured out how to get consistent results. They still don't understand what ICM is, but they are excited for me to continue to implement it in other parts of the company.
