I've taken advantage of the free daily credits from Galaxy just for checking in since I joined. But today for the first time that option did not appear. I wonder if this is a glitch, or just me, or if they have discontinued it. That was a fantastic way to double monthly credits!

In the past, creating all these infographics for the slides of a training I'm doing for the 10K HP Academy. Normally, this would take me a whole week, and thanks to Nano Banana and Claude, it took me 2 and a half hours! A total of 19 slides!

I just found this video and so haven't checked it out, I but wanted to post it before class. This seems to be part of a series and perhaps he is selling an agent or something? But I think he is saying Claude actually can create videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNbgOhxhzXg

A few days ago I posted that team-built 3D animation runs $3,136 per finished minute. That figure still stands. So I tested the other end of the curve. One person. ~16 hours. ~$15 in marginal API credits on top of existing subscriptions. A 5-minute 3D-style animated short of a 145-year-old Romanian fairy tale — Ion Creangă's "Ursul păcălit de vulpe" / "The Bear Who Was Tricked by the Fox" — shipped in English, Romanian, and Hungarian subtitles. The honest comparison isn't "$15 beats $3,136." It's roughly ~$400 per finished minute solo vs. ~$10,000 (included margins, salaries, taxes, per finished minute team-built — about 25× cheaper. With trade-offs: visible artifacts in some shots, ~95% character consistency across 32 shots, ~70% Seedance acceptance rate, occasional Kling fallback for shots Seedance refused. Real, but real. I wrote up the entire pipeline, end to end: - Source material, OCR, and modern children's-English script adaptation - The production bible with @tag identity sheets that lock characters across all 32 shots - The Higgsfield "upload once, reference forever" UUID trick that saves hours per project - ElevenLabs v3 performance tags + bookend-pause discipline for clean TTS - The Seedance lip-sync recipe — the three rules nobody states clearly online (one video reference only, mandatory DIALOGUE block, @Image attribution per line) - Demucs htdemucs_6s for stripping unwanted background music from generated audio - The honest cost accounting: how subscriptions absorb the $15, where 16 hours of human time fits in, why the $10K/minute figure still holds for team-built work Plus real Seedance and ElevenLabs prompts (paste-ready), what I'd do differently next time, and the limitations I haven't solved yet.
