After Elon Musk’s comments on UK riots, Bluesky saw a 60 % sign-up spike last August . Favored by journalists seeking ad-free, chronological discussions .

Google Launches Vids, Sora in ChatGPT: Are AI Avatar Startups Dead?

Google Vids feels like a 2000s flashback with its cringe OneNote-style UI and unclear purpose; Sora lands smoother but can’t dethrone dedicated tools.

Announced at Google I/O in April 2024, Vids brings Gemini-powered AI video to Workspace Labs but sports a cringe “2000s Flash” UI and unclear use case beyond Slides presentations—realistic output, utility lacking . Sora arrived in December 2024 for ChatGPT Plus & Pro, offering smoother 20-second, 1080p clips with warmer reception, though it trails the recent Ghibli-style AI-image frenzy . Looking ahead to 2026, expect Google to keep bolting on suite features, OpenAI to iterate rapidly, and startups with focused offerings to lead a messy, vibrant AI video market.

Instagram Edits Reality Check: The Odds, the Rivals, and the 2026 Showdown

Instagram Edits racked up 7.1 M downloads in week one—but for a 2.1 B-user giant, that’s barely a ripple. Here’s why the real action is in the AI arena, with CapCut, OpusClip, Captions, Blaze AI, and Rkive AI circling like contenders in a 2026 prize fight.

When Instagram dropped Edits on April 22, 2025, it rocketed to #1 on the App Store with 7.1 M downloads in seven days—yet that’s just 0.34% of Instagram’s 2.1 B MAUs, a modest splash for Meta’s flagship platform . Free and watermark-free, Edits still lacks templates, advanced effects, and mature AI tools that CapCut masters, and trails specialized rivals like OpusClip ($20 M funding), Captions (10 M+ installs), Blaze AI (static-visual automation), and internal frontrunner Rkive AI (true end-to-feed workflows) . Mosseri has teased future AI upgrades, but no concrete Llama roadmap exists beyond general plans for “intelligent features” . Buckle up: 2026 promises a battle royale of price cuts, acquisitions, funding deluges, and feature arms races—good news for creators and brands craving more choice, lower costs, and genuinely functional editing solutions.
