Ben Affleck was wrong (and it only took 6 weeks)

Most traders woke up this morning worried about NVIDIA's sideways action since September. They're staring at P/E ratios and wondering if the AI trade is dead.

Meanwhile, something happened this week that's about to obliterate entire industries - and create massive opportunities for the traders who see it coming.

I'm talking about Seedance 2.0.

If you haven't seen what this thing can do, you're about to get blindsided. We're not talking about some maybe-in-five-years technology. This is happening right now.

I watched a two-minute Breaking Bad clip this weekend that looked like they filmed new episodes yesterday. Same actors, same everything. Except Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul haven't been on that set in over a decade.

You literally cannot tell it's AI-generated. Not even close.

Six weeks ago, I saw an interview with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. They're sitting there saying "AI will never be able to create the emotion, the look, the feel that human actors bring."

That was six weeks ago. They're screwed. It's over.

Netflix could slash production costs to essentially zero. They can create any environment without building sets. They can generate performances indistinguishable from A-list actors without paying $20 million per film. They can skip union negotiations entirely.

Meanwhile, traditional studios are still playing by the old rules. Warner Brothers and Paramount are caught up in merger drama while their entire business model just became obsolete. Disney's paying massive production costs for content that can now be created for pennies.

The economics just shifted overnight, and the market hasn't priced it in yet.

This isn't just about entertainment, either. Every company that creates visual content - advertising agencies, marketing departments, social media companies - they're all about to get hit by the same tsunami.

But traders are still consumed by NVIDIA charts and wondering if semiconductors are overbought.

Here's the thing about market-shifting technology: by the time it shows up in earnings reports, the opportunity's already gone. Right now, while this tech is brand new, is when fortunes get made and lost.

The content creation industry just got turned upside down. Some companies will leverage this technology to obliterate their competitors' cost structures. Others will get steamrolled trying to compete with $200 million budgets against AI-generated content that costs nothing.

The revolution isn't coming - it's here. And a lot of legacy media companies are about to find out their entire economic advantage just evaporated. The smart money sees what's coming and positions accordingly.

To your success,

Don Kaufman
