Seedance 2.0: The Uncensored AI Replacing Hollywood
Seedance 2.0 is a China-built, uncensored video AI that can generate cinematic, multi-angle scenes from a single prompt and it may already rival or surpass Sora. We debate whether this marks the collapse of copyright and Hollywood as we know it, explore the rise of uncensored models and AI-generated media (from romance novels to code), and ask if “Singularity Tuesday” is closer than anyone wants to admit.

Show Notes
Seedance 2.0 may be the first uncensored video AI that can replace Hollywood. Is China’s AI already ahead of Sora? In this episode of They Might Be Self-Aware, we break down Seedance 2.0, the China AI video model generating cinematic, multi-angle scenes from a single prompt — trained on Western IP and not asking permission.
From nightmare Will Smith AI spaghetti to indistinguishable film-quality scenes, video AI just crossed a line.
This isn’t incremental progress.
This is synthetic media going mainstream.
We debate:
- Sora vs Seedance — who’s actually ahead?
- Whether uncensored AI models behave differently than aligned ones
- Why base models can’t just be “re-neutered”
- AI romance flooding Amazon (200 books a year)
- AI code replacing engineers
- The 2034 “Singularity Tuesday” prediction
- And whether copyright is already dead
Hunter says he’d bet serious money full AI-generated TV episodes happen this year.
Daniel says the legal system is about to swing like a hammer.
Pick a side.
