The Fast Hours take
Rory and Drew treat Seedance as the video model to beat on physics and realism — the bar Veo 'can't clear right now' (Ep. 67), Rory's main driver via a custom YAML prompter that 'has me in a chokehold' (Ep. 70), and her team's top pick after evaluating every release (Ep. 73). The 2.5 update added 30-second clips and more references but hosts called it 'not a real leap' and warned it'll also flood timelines with slop (Ep. 76, 77).

Receipts about Seedance
“The only nuance is and I've compared this one to one over and over and over, and it's been true every time. Translating your prompt to Chinese makes the prompt adherence like ninety percent better.”
“The first thing I did was put a complex video in there from Seedance that I made and was like, let's try to replace the characters. No chance. Not even close.”
“Unusable in comparison to what else is out there. Like, in comparison to Seedance and Kling 3 and LTX and like, I don't know. It just doesn't hold up anymore.”
