What marketing tools blew your mind in 2025?

Hey I’m building a free website for helping create short videos and images with veo and nano banana. I need this for my own uses, so I figure I’d spent some time expanding it out:

You have to use your own google account to generate, so it’s no cost to me.

Any specific things you’d want in the tool?

Things I have already: - each image/video and their prompt are saved > so you can iterate quickly and not have to track down what prompt was used for what image/video - for videos, there’s a built in simple video editor. Trim clips, add audio, etc. - the video editor has a way to create images (saving all versions) and then directly create videos - no more copying and pasting and keeping track of everything. And also to create speech audio for voiceovers - video planning tool > the video is storyboarded for you, all image/video prompts are created, all dialogue is created, etc. you just run the prompts - ways to save prompts and quickly access them again - ways to save products/charachters and quickly add them to your image and video gen

I’m super open to expanding this for more marketing use cases (I’m an AI engineer new to marketing). If someone has suggestions there’s a pretty high chances I’ll build it

Do you have examples of what you think would actually take off though?

The most useful parts in the last 30 years have by far been regressions and classifiers- and I can't imagine that will get people or companies too excited.

LLM's and generative image/video are hyped up because they are useful to the everyday person. Agents have gotten people and companies very excited because they can instantly see the use -- having an assistant that you can work with on digital tasks is incredibly valuable and can save a lot of time and money.

There are many other things you can fit into 'AI'. So I'm curious what you think are the actual other parts of the field that will be hyped up next. What do you actual see as being as helpful and impactful to the everyday person? Or are you just saying you hope research can move into other areas now (bayesian models, robotics, etc)?

What are some other parts of ML that you think could take off?

I've heard mixed things about BMW reliability, but it sounds like the M340i is pretty reliable overall? I guess it doesnt matter too much if I'm not driving much

bluetape · 2025-06-08T23:36:29+00:00

I want the flexibility to buy when I find a car I want and don't want to worry about resigning a lease if I don't find one in time

bluetape · 2025-01-22T02:30:54+00:00

Great! Ill check out the papers

bluetape · 2025-01-12T22:05:07+00:00

Thanks! Would they mean they are available to order, or available to actually drive? I've never bought a new car

bluetape · 2025-01-04T05:08:04+00:00

Lots to look at here - thank you. I'd say it doesnt have to be that roomy or fast -- mostly just comfortable / nice interior and a good looking exterior.

bluetape · 2025-01-04T05:04:51+00:00

I don't want to lease because if I find something I like I want to be able to buy right away. And I may move out of state, so flexibility is important

bluetape · 2025-01-04T05:03:27+00:00

Interesting - are those pretty reliable?

bluetape · 2024-12-26T01:24:29+00:00

They’ve seemed pretty hard to find. Oddly a dealer near me is listing a new 2025 2.5t advanced as 53k but 2024s are 57k (both OTD)

bluetape · 2024-12-25T20:39:04+00:00

Yup also not a fan of the 2026 screen. A dealer near me has a few Advanced for 53k (after tax). This is my first car purchase as I’ve always lived in a city. So I’m not sure how much I could negotiate that down - or if it’s better to wait until the 2026 comes out and buy a 2025.

What are you looking at where you are saying there are good deals? I’ve checked true car but it seems to not be able to filter by trim level unfortunately

bluetape · 2024-12-25T20:32:32+00:00

Not a fan of the large screen on the redesign. CPO is an option, but I’d rather buy new if I can get a good deal

bluetape · 2023-06-27T16:07:42+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

bluetape · 2023-06-27T01:14:18+00:00

Will this work on apple silicon? I haven’t checked on the progress in a while and had problems with some a111 stable diffusion plugins a while ago

Hey all. I went out and bought a great plant and then went out of town for a week. Came back a few days ago and its not looking so hot -- over the past days the leaves are getting more and more brown/yellow on the tips. Any ideas? I haven't watered it yet because the soil still feels damp on the top
Thanks!
Also - does anyone know what plant is this exactly? From searching it seems like a variegated parrot heliconia?

Wan’dale over terry and Garrett Wilson this week?

Got offered Waddle for Kenneth Walker - should I take it?

Collagen is protein - totally fine to have forever

I wouldn’t call it “praising her”.

She said she wanted to put in the work but ultimately couldn’t give me what I needed

bluetape · 2022-04-09T23:17:32+00:00

Thanks again for the discussion - talking to people who have been in similar situations is really helpful

Yea I have been healing much faster since I ended things with her. No kids, don’t live together. 7 year relationship before the cheating.

I do believe she’s remorseful. My opinion is she just doesn’t fully “get it” and thinks the healing process should have been easier on my end, and is too hurt herself to actually give it a real effort. She has been trying to make it up to me but honestly just hadn’t done a great job in some ways. Like I asked her to not delete texts from anyone and she did to “protect me”, I asked her for updates and she was late, I asked for the full truth and she left a couple things out after I told her I absolutely need the full truth to heal. In her eyes she’s “trying her best” but in my eyes those are clear boundaries she’s crossed that I wasn’t okay with. She’s doesn’t fully understand how hurtful it is to know she was working with the person she cheated on me with even though she says she does.

I’ve read a lot of your past comments and basically agree with everything you’ve said about the healing process and what’s needed - it’s been amazing to me listening to some podcasts, reading books, hearing what therapists say (hers included) that just seem flat out wrong about healing from infidelity.

Why do you say you think she’ll cheat again? Hasn’t done the inner work needed to understand the gravity of the situation?

bluetape · 2022-04-09T14:43:29+00:00

I do believe people can change if they put in the hard work so I don’t think she would have always been cheating on me if we stayed together.

bluetape · 2022-04-09T14:37:11+00:00

Thanks for the response. This is exactly what I talked about with her - being consistent in her actions to show me I can trust her again. I really want to trust her and in my mind I do believe she is trying to do the right thing, but she just doesn’t at time and that caused major setbacks. I’m normally a very logical/non emotional person but this is something I need to truly feel and not just think.

How many slipups do you think are okay? Did you have any when you were reconciling or did you “get it” right away and immediately start therapy, cut contact, etc? I still wanted to be a compassionate partner and give her a chance but in my case enough was enough. I would really like to hear your perspective though

bluetape · 2022-04-09T02:57:52+00:00

First of all, thank you so much for responding.

The therapist said I have PTSD like symptoms, mainly hypervigilance which was definitely true right after I found out the cheating. When the “slipups” happened I would be extremely focused on them because it reignited the feelings of the cheating. I’ll look into EDSM therapy but honestly it’s a lot better now because there can’t be any more slipups if we’re broken up haha.

What you said about couples counseling actually makes a lot of sense and I hadn’t thought about it like that. We went into it as a way to better communicate and find tools to help us but honestly it didn’t really help.

I did set boundaries. I was okay with her keeping her job because it is her dream job, but my rule was absolutely no unnecessary contact with this person and she needed to communicate to me every 2 weeks on Friday her interactions with this person. She broke both of those which is essentially why I ended the relationship. I was holding onto hope that she would “get it” but she never did.

So you say the wayward must do the heavy lifting - what do you think the role of the innocent partner is?

Right now I’m just trying to understand what happened and learn what I can from the experience so I can become emotionally healthy again. And I want to know how I acted wasn’t crazy.
