The Feed
We figure out what’s going viral so that you don’t have to.
A new viral format has been all across my feed recently: mad partner + funny AI pet. Use the below blueprint or create your own funny variant of the trend with Yapper today.
Record a video of your reaction to an exaggerated, garbled and emotional rant from “your partner.” Look like you’re trying your best to pay attention, but also like there’s an element of indifference or your thoughts are starting to drift as your gaze shifts to the side. Come up with your own creative caption based on the examples below!

Use Yapper’s “Video Gen” tool to generate an absurd AI edited video of a cat or dog dancing.
Cut back to yourself trying to hold it together.
The Lab Report
🚨 New Yapper models / features alert 🚨
Kling 2.6, the latest video + audio model to hit the mainstream, is supported in Yapper’s Video Gen tool.
Check out Seedream 4.5, now in the in the Create Images tool, which I’ve found to be better than Nano Banana Pro or Flux 2 for replicating sharp, clean, studio grade photography - i.e. portraits, product highlights, etc.
Yapper now allows you to customize and multi-select image models in the Create Images tool. Choose your favorites, mix and match, and compare results in order to understand which models are best for your use-cases going forward.
The FBI warns the public about an up-and-coming extortion scheme, which involves using AI to fake images of kidnapped loved ones, and demanding a ransom. Please don’t do this via Yapper.
Minnesota’s Somali community has taken to posting satirical, doctored-history AI images of how Minnesota is actually their ancient promise-land. Say what you want about them, but I will tip my hat to any talented deep-faker I find. Game recognizes game.
123RF, an AWS supported image platform, has integrated AI image-comprehension into their search tool, helping users find great results faster and with far better accuracy. Unfortunately that doesn’t matter at all, because generating your own great images on Yapper is way more efficient than a 123RF subscription.
Creator Spotlights
Phil Langer, the artist behind @HybridPortraits on Instagram, has just released ‘The Uncanny,’ an interview-style piece that picks the “brains” of AI generated oddballs regarding what it means to be artificial, and how they feel about it. This is one of the few AI works I’ve seen that feels communal and human, despite being - in many ways - inherently the opposite. I truly do feel sorry for them. It’s not their fault that they’re artificial.
@OscarAI on X generates Edgar Allen-Poe and a glass of wine. The creative potential of AI to innovate new animation styles is infinite - reply to this email with an animation style you’ve created on Yapper that you think is unlike anything else, and if I can’t find a similar / matching reference, I’ll give you free credits.
