AI Takes Over TV During NBA Finals and What It Means for the Future

FEATURED INSIGHT💡

AI Hits the Big Leagues with a Chaotic NBA Finals Ad

You probably didn’t expect an AI-generated fever dream during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, but that’s exactly what aired on ABC, thanks to prediction market Kalshi and Google’s Veo 3 video model.

The ad? A 30-second, Grand Theft Auto-style explosion of randomness crafted in just two days using 300+ generations of Veo 3 clips, aided by Gemini and ChatGPT. It was messy. It was jarring. And it cost 95% less than a traditional commercial.

While it won’t win a Cannes Lion, this moment marks something bigger: AI video is primetime-ready. Expect more brands to trade polish for speed, cost-efficiency, and viral chaos. As AI filmmaker PJ Accetturo puts it: “High-dopamine Veo 3 videos will be the ad trend of 2025.”

ON THE HORIZON 🌅

Sam Altman Thinks You’re Not Ready (But You'll Adapt Anyway)

In a sweeping, calmly apocalyptic new post, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman outlined what he calls The Gentle Singularity. The short version: we’ve crossed the event horizon. The real version? AGI is already reshaping the world, and we’re only getting started.

Some key highlights from Altman’s vision:

• 2025: AI agents doing real cognitive work

• 2026: AI starts generating novel scientific insights

• 2027: Humanoid robots enter the physical workforce

• 2030s: Intelligence and energy become “wildly abundant”

• Eventually: Intelligence becomes “too cheap to meter”

Altman argues that most of the hard work is already done. What’s left is aligning these systems with human goals, distributing them equitably, and bracing for a pace of progress that will feel surreal.

It’s not all doom and Singularity. He ends with optimism: “May we scale smoothly, exponentially, and uneventfully through superintelligence.”
