AI allows making surprising, delightful moments of craft.

· Bits and Bobs 6/8/26
  • AI allows making surprising, delightful moments of craft.
    • Allowing craft and personalization that previously would have been insanely expensive and not viable.
      • For example, subtle cinemagraph animation to enchant the visual assets.
    • LLMs make it orders of magnitude cheaper, but it still has a marginal cost.
    • One way to do it is to have it feel open-ended and custom to the user… but subtly direct users to the same paths.
    • Then, you can generate one hifi, delightful experience or video per path and make sure to cache it and not regenerate for future users.
    • Users still feel the wow of an open-ended, hifi experience… but the cost of generating that content is logarithmic.
    • The users are helping pave a cowpath of hifi, magical content.
    • A resonant illusion that doesn't need to break the bank.
