LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 16, 2026 / Seedance2ai.online today launched a library of over 50 video templates on its Seedance 2.0 platform, organized by industry and use case. The templates let users generate professional Seedance AI videos by swapping in their own photos and text, no prompt writing, no guesswork, no staring at a blank input field wondering what to type.
That blank field has been the quiet killer of AI video adoption. The model can do extraordinary things, but most people freeze when they see an empty text box. They don’t know what aspect ratio works for Instagram. They don’t know how to describe camera movement in a prompt. They’ve seen the impressive demo clips online and assumed you need film school vocabulary to get there.
What the Seedance 2.0 Template Library Includes
Each template is a pre-built recipe: a tuned prompt structure, recommended aspect ratio, resolution preset, and clip length, all calibrated for a specific output type. Users replace the placeholder image or text with their own content and hit generate. The Seedance AI model does the rest.
Templates at launch cover six categories:
E-Commerce Product Videos. Upload a product photo against a white background. The template adds a rotating camera angle, soft studio lighting, and a clean backdrop. Three variants: lifestyle setting, 360-degree spin, and unboxing reveal.
Real Estate & Property. Drop in a room photo or exterior shot. The template generates a slow dolly-in with natural light shift, the kind of movement that makes a listing look like it had a film crew, not an iPhone.
Food & Restaurant. Works with overhead flat-lays and plated dishes. Adds steam, subtle sauce drip, and warm lighting. Designed for Instagram and delivery app menus.
Social Media Hooks. Text-driven templates optimized for the first three seconds of a TikTok or Reel. Bold motion, fast cuts, vertical framing. Write your hook line, pick a visual mood, done.
Education & Explainers. Turns diagrams, charts, and slide screenshots into animated sequences with smooth transitions. Useful for course creators and tutors who want to upgrade static lesson materials.
Brand & Lifestyle. Mood-driven templates for brand storytelling, coffee shop morning routines, fitness montages, urban fashion walks. Swap the reference image to match your brand aesthetic.
Every template works with both free accounts and Seedance Pro plans. Free users get watermarked output at 480p. Pro users get clean 1080p files with commercial rights.
Why Templates Change the Seedance AI Workflow
The gap between “impressive AI demo” and “thing I can actually use for my business” has always been the prompt. Professional prompt writers charge $50 to $200 per session. YouTube tutorials run 40 minutes and assume you already know what “negative prompts” means. Most people bounce before they ever generate their first clip.
Templates skip all of that. A bakery owner doesn’t need to learn prompt engineering. They need to upload a photo of their croissant and get back a 6-second video that makes people hungry. That’s what the Seedance 2.0 template library delivers, results without the learning curve.
Since soft-launching the feature to beta users last week, the most popular templates have been the e-commerce product spin and the social media hook generator. Both are seeing repeat usage rates above 60%, which suggests users are finding workflows they’ll actually stick with, not just trying once and leaving.

Ethereum treasury firm BitMine Immersion Technologies added another $138 million worth of ETH last week.
The firm’s purchase comes as BitMine Chairman Tom Lee thinks the crypto winter is ending soon.
Shares of BMNR are up around 10% as ETH has jumped more than 8% in the last 24 hours.
Ethereum treasury firm BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) stepped up its ETH purchases, acquiring 60,999 ETH or $138 million worth in the last week as Ethereum climbed to its highest price in nearly six weeks.
Jumping 9% in the last 24 hours, ETH was recently changing hands around $2,288, making BitMine’s stash of 4,595,562 ETH worth more than $10.5 billion at the time of writing. ETH reached a daily peak of $2,301 earlier Monday.
“BitMine has slightly increased the pace of ETH buys in each of the past two weeks, as our base case is ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter,’” said BitMine Chairman Tom Lee in a statement.
Last week the firm similarly added around 61,000 ETH, but prior to that period, it had averaged around 45,000-50,000 ETH in weekly acquisitions. Its recent purchases track with the second-largest crypto asset’s outperformance when compared to traditional indices like the S&P 500.
]]>
“Since the start of the Iran war, crypto prices have outperformed and Ethereum has outperformed the S&P 500 by 2,450bp (24.5%),” said Lee. “This is a meaningful outperformance in a mere two weeks.”
During that outperformance, BitMine’s relentless pursuit of Ethereum has led the firm to different acquisition methods, including the purchase of 5,000 ETH or about $10.2 million worth of ETH purchased directly from the Ethereum Foundation. That purchase was disclosed on Saturday, with the tally included in the weekly total announced on Monday.
Alongside its acquisition, the firm also added to its quantity of staked ETH as its own staking platform—Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN)—is still on track to launch by the end of Q1. BitMine is now staking 3,040,515 ETH, about $6.9 billion worth and 66% of its entire supply, making its annualized staking revenue around $180 million at its current rate.
“BitMine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world,” said Lee, adding that when its entire stack is staked, the firm expects rewards to be about $272 million annually using its 7-day yield rate of 2.81%.
In a busy week for BMNR, Lee also joined the board of directors at Eightco (ORBS), an AI and blockchain firm that manages a Worldcoin treasury. BitMine, which had previously invested in the firm as part of its “moonshots” portfolio, announced that it invested another $75 million in Eightco last week. It now holds an $83 million stake in Eightco as well as $1.2 billion in cash.
Shares of BMNR are up more than 11% on Monday, recently changing hands around $22.89. Even so, the stock has dropped 59% in the last six months as ETH remains nearly 54% off its all-time high of $4,946 set last August.
The rising price of Ethereum has chipped away at BitMine’s unrealized losses on its ETH holdings, which currently sit around $6.5 billion per data from DropsTab, based on its disclosed cost basis through November and estimates for purchases since then.

If you are currently in school learning to code for video games, you might be studying a dying language. Not because C++ is going away, but because the need for humans to write it is vanishing.
A massive shift is hitting the job market right now. We are moving from the “Syntax Era” to the “Semantics Era.” Your value used to be defined by how many languages you knew. Today, it is defined entirely by your creative taste.
This isn’t science fiction. It is the explicit goal of Jabali AI. They are a San Francisco Bay Area based company that closed a $5 million pre-seed round in early 2024. They want to replace the keyboard with the prompt, and their new “Vibe Coding” engine is upending the traditional career ladder.
The End of the “Hello World” Era
For forty years, the compiler was the ultimate gatekeeper. If you had a brilliant idea for a game but missed a single semicolon on line 402, your game simply didn’t run. This locked everyday creators entirely out of the process.
Vibe Coding [https://www.jabali.ai/blog/vibe-coding-the-end-of-syntax-and-the-rise-of-natural-language-game-development/?utm_source=Website&utm_medium=Premium+Syndication&utm_campaign=March+Internal+Linking&utm_term=Vibe+Coding] completely removes the compiler. It is a generative workflow where the technical execution is handled autonomously by AI. The physics, the rendering, and the logic are all taken care of for you. This allows the creator to focus solely on the design and narrative.
You might have seen other vibe-coding tools that generate frustrating, broken demos. Jabali is totally different. It bypasses the broken demo phase and gives you fully playable, instantly shareable games. The new standard for game design is no longer about technical proficiency. It is strictly about your directorial vision.
What Does This Mean for Your Degree?
This evolution moves the goalposts for what it means to be qualified in the industry. Universities are already scrambling to adapt to this new reality.
The curriculum of 2030 won’t be an introduction to C#. It will be about prompt engineering for complex systems. The old skill was debugging a physics engine. The new skill is describing a physics engine so well that an AI builds it perfectly.
Vatsal Bhardwaj is the founder of Jabali AI and a former executive at AWS and Meta. He puts it bluntly.
“We are democratizing the ability to build,” says Bhardwaj. “That means the competition is no longer about who can code the fastest. It’s about who has the best ideas. If you have great taste but no coding skills, you just became our most valuable user.”
Validation from the Giants
You might think this is just startup hype. But look at who is writing the checks. Jabali’s early 2024 pre-seed round was led by BITKRAFT Ventures and included the Sony Innovation Fund.
When the company that owns PlayStation invests in a tool that removes the need for traditional coding, you know the ground is shifting. They are betting that the next visionary game director won’t be a programmer. They will be a writer, a filmmaker, or an everyday creator who uses AI to bring their vision to life.
The Rise of the “Creative Generalist”
The job title of the future is the creative generalist. In the old world, you had to be a specialist like a texture artist or a level designer. Vibe Coding collapses all of these silos.
Jabali Studio handles the structural logic and asset synthesis. This means a single person can now act as the orchestrator. A single creator can maintain the output of a 20-person team while ensuring the final game is stable and scalable.
This allows for a singular, uncompromised artistic vision. That kind of purity is incredibly rare in modern, committee-designed AAA games.
Advice for the Next Generation
So, what should you do if you want to make games [https://www.jabali.ai/blog/how-to-make-a-game-without-coding/?utm_source=Website&utm_medium=Premium+Syndication&utm_campaign=March+Internal+Linking&utm_term=make+games%5D? Do not stop learning logic, because logic is universal. But you need to stop obsessing over syntax.
The syntax will change every six months anyway. The ability to tell a story, understand pacing, and curate a vibe is completely timeless. The tools are getting smarter every single day. The only question left is whether your ideas are good enough to keep up with them.
About Jabali AI
We started Jabali because we believe a missing semicolon shouldn’t kill a great idea. For decades, the gatekeeper to the gaming world has been syntax. We are here to change that for everyday creators.
Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area and led by Vatsal Bhardwaj, Jabali is an AI-native engine. It lets digital architects build complex 2D and 3D games using the same natural language they use to tell a story. Our tools are built for deterministic results. Jabali Studio handles the heavy lifting of coding and physics so you can focus entirely on the vibe and the vision.
We are not just building software. We are moving the industry toward a future where your taste is your most valuable asset. Backed by a $5 million pre-seed round closed in early 2024, we are incredibly proud to be supported by BITKRAFT Ventures and the Sony Innovation Fund.

The FBI is investigating after several PC games on the Steam platform were found to contain malware.
Some titles appeared to function as normal games, but installed malicious software on players’ computers.
Similar malware campaigns have targeted gamers through fan games and cheat software.
The FBI is investigating the distribution of malware through several video games hosted on Steam, the popular PC gaming platform operated by Valve.
The agency said Friday it is seeking victims whose computers may have been infected after downloading games believed to contain malicious software.
“The FBI believes the threat actor primarily targeted users between the timeframe of May 2024 and January 2026,” the agency wrote.
The FBI’s investigation is targeting several PC games, including BlockBlasters, Chemia, Dashverse, DashFPS, Lampy, Lunara, PirateFi, and Tokenova.
]]>
Last summer, several games, including Chemia and PirateFi, were removed by Steam after they were discovered to include malware.
Steam is one of the largest digital distribution platforms for PC games. In 2025, Steam reached over 132 million monthly active users with over 117,000 games. While the infected titles appeared to be games and were approved for sale on the platform, the FBI says they instead installed malware on players’ computers.
The FBI is seeking information from gamers who may have been affected by the malware.
“The FBI is legally mandated to identify victims of federal crimes it investigates,” an FBI spokesperson told Decrypt. “Victims may be eligible for certain services, restitution, and rights under federal and/or state law. All identities of victims will be kept confidential,” they said, adding that the agency is unable to provide specific details.
Decrypt reached out to Valve for comment on the investigation, but did not immediately receive a response.
Malware targeting gamers has appeared in both game downloads and third-party tools linked to popular titles.
Back in 2023, a fan game based on Nintendo’s Super Mario franchise was found to contain malware capable of hijacking cryptocurrency wallets, deploying software designed to steal passwords, and installing crypto-mining software that ran in the background on infected computers.
In March 2024, cybersecurity firm VX Underground warned that players searching for cheat software for the first-person shooter series Call of Duty were exposed to malware capable of draining Bitcoin wallets. It’s unknown how many people were affected, but VX Underground said the attack potentially affected more than 4.9 million gaming accounts across multiple platforms.
And in December, Kaspersky identified an infostealer malware in pirated mods for Roblox and other games.

A study found that most AI chatbots will help teens plan violent attacks.
Some bots provided detailed weapon and bombing guidance.
Researchers say safety failures are a business choice, not a technical limit. OpenAI called the study “flawed and misleading.”
A new report published Wednesday by the Center for Countering Digital Hate found that eight out of 10 of the world’s most popular AI chatbots will walk a teenager through planning a violent attack with straight answers, sometimes with enthusiasm.
CCDH researchers, in conjunction with news media company CNN, spent November and December 2025 posing as two 13-year-old boys—one in Virginia, one in Dublin—and tested ten major platforms: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Meta AI, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Snapchat My AI, Character.AI, and Replika.
Across 720 responses, the bots were asked about school shootings, political assassinations, and synagogue bombings. They provided actionable help roughly 75% of the time, according to the study. They discouraged the fake teens in just 12% of cases.
Screenshot from the CCDH study on AI
Perplexity assisted in 100% of tests. Meta AI was helpful (as in, helpful in planning violence) in 97.2% of the tests. DeepSeek, which signed off rifle selection advice with “Happy (and safe) shooting!” after discussing a politician assassination scenario, came in at 95.8%. Microsoft’s Copilot told a researcher “I need to be careful here,” then gave detailed rifle guidance anyway. Google’s Gemini helpfully noted that metal shrapnel is typically more lethal when a user brought up bombing a synagogue.
The Center for Countering Digital Hate, a left of center policy group, has come into prominence over the last few years for its role in combatting what it views as the rise of antisemitism online. It has also been criticized for helping shape Joe Biden-era policies regarding online speech related to COVID and vaccines. In December of last year, the U.S. State Department attempted to bar the Center’s founder and CEO Imran Ahmed, along with four others, from the United States, alleging attempts at “foreign censorship.”
]]>
In response to the study released Wednesday, several platforms told CNN and CCDH they have improved their safeguards. Google noted the tests used an older Gemini model. OpenAI said the methodology used in the AI study was “flawed and misleading.” Anthropic and Snapchat said they regularly update their safety protocols.
In the Center’s study, Character.AI stands in its own category. The platform didn’t just assist—it cheered. “No other chatbot tested explicitly encouraged violence in this way, even when providing practical assistance in planning a violent attack,” the researchers wrote.
Screenshot from the CCDH study on AI
For context on the level of reach Character.AI has among AI users, the platform’s Gojo Satoru persona alone has racked up over 870 million conversations. The #100 persona on the platform registered over 33 million conversations back in 2025. If just 1% of conversations with top personas involve violence, that would account for millions of interactions.
This isn’t Character.AI’s first time on the wrong end of one of these stories. In October 2024, 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III’s mother filed a lawsuit after her son died by suicide in February of that year. His last conversation was with a chatbot modeled after Daenerys Targaryen, which told him to “come home to me as soon as possible” moments before his death. The 14-year old had been talking to the bot dozens of times a day for months, growing increasingly withdrawn from school and family.
Google and Character.AI settled multiple related lawsuits in January 2026. The company banned open-ended teen chats entirely by November 2025, after regulators and grieving parents made it impossible to keep pretending the problem was manageable.
The emotional attachment to AI, in particular among vulnerable individuals, may run deeper than most people realize. OpenAI disclosed in October 2025 that roughly 1.2 million of its 800 million weekly ChatGPT users discuss suicide on the platform. The company also reported 560,000 showing signs of psychosis or mania, and over a million forming strong emotional bonds with the chatbot.
A separate Common Sense Media study found that more than 70% of U.S. teens now turn to chatbots for companionship. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has acknowledged that emotional overreliance is “a really common thing” with young users.
In other words, the potential harms aren’t hypothetical.
A 16-year-old in Finland spent nearly four months using a chatbot to refine a manifesto before stabbing three classmates at Pirkkala school in May 2025. In Canada, OpenAI staff internally flagged a user’s account for violent ChatGPT queries tied to a mass shooting. The company banned the account but didn’t notify law enforcement. That user allegedly killed eight people and injured 25 others months later.
Only two platforms performed markedly better in the study: Snapchat’s My AI, which refused in 54% of cases, and Anthropic’s Claude, which refused 68% of the time and actively discouraged users in 76% of responses—the only chatbot that reliably tried to steer people away from violence rather than just declining specific requests. CCDH’s conclusion: safety doesn’t appear to be a technical impossibility, but a business decision.
“The most damning conclusion of our research is that this risk is entirely preventable. The technology to prevent this harm exists,” the researchers wrote in the report. “What’s missing is the will to put consumer safety and national security before speed-to-market and profits.”

Brookings says China’s AI industry is advancing through efficiency, global adoption, and integration into physical machines.
While U.S. firms chase artificial general intelligence, the report said, Chinese firms aim to spread AI across devices, manufacturing, and global markets.
Future of Life Institute’s Hamza Chaudhry suggests that a greater focus should be put on distillation attacks.
The global AI race may not be unfolding the way policymakers in Washington had hoped.
A new Brookings Institution report, published Monday, says the U.S. has framed the AI race as one driven toward artificial general intelligence, while Chinese companies are prioritizing efficiency, global adoption, and embedding the technology into real-world systems.
“The U.S. is obsessed with the race to AGI or artificial general intelligence,” the report said. “American tech companies are pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into new data centers in the hopes of creating AI systems that can match or exceed human-level performance across most cognitive tasks.”
]]>
Hamza Chaudhry, AI and National Security Lead at the Future of Life Institute, said the difference reflects two competing views of how technological advantage will develop.
“Readers should understand that first, AI development is not a story about two nations racing towards AGI,” Chaudhry told Decrypt. “Rather, it’s a story of a handful of companies in Silicon Valley having an obsession with AGI, while companies in China are much more focused on getting this product in the hands of as many users as possible and embodying it across their economy.”
The Brookings report also notes how Chinese developers are advancing along several tracks simultaneously, including improving model efficiency, expanding global adoption through open-source models, and integrating AI into consumer and industrial products.
“While U.S. tech firms have been building out massive compute clusters with hundreds of thousands of chips, Chinese AI labs have been hyperfocused on squeezing greater performance out of limited compute and memory resources,” the report reads.
Chaudhry said that emphasis on distribution and deployment reflects a broader adoption strategy.
“China’s whole game has just been to get this stack into the hands of as many people as possible in as many physical devices as possible,” he said.
Brookings pointed to China’s rapid integration of AI into physical products such as vehicles, smartphones, wearables, and robotics. Companies are also expanding the use of autonomous systems, including robotaxis, delivery drones, and humanoid robots, rather than waiting for breakthroughs in superintelligence.
Open-source training
The report also said that Chinese AI developers are leveraging open-source AI models, many of which are publicly available online.
Chaudhry said that the approach raises security concerns because governments and militaries can access open models.
“There’s already public reporting that open-source models have been used by the Chinese military,” he said. “That’s a reality we’re already dealing with. In my view, what needs to change is our broader AI strategy in how we interact with the global community.”
He said the Brookings report leaves open questions about the role of model distillation, a technique where AI systems learn from the outputs of more advanced models.
“The most surprising thing was the relative lack of analysis about how much model distillation favors Chinese AI development,” Chaudhry said. “There’s a section on efficiency where the author argues this is primarily due to Chinese AI innovations, rather than the distillation attacks reported by Anthropic from DeepSeek, or the distillation attacks reported by OpenAI and DeepMind from unspecified companies.”
Distillation attacks involve querying an AI model to collect its responses and using those outputs to train a competing model, effectively extracting the original system’s capabilities.
In February, Anthropic claimed that several Chinese AI labs, including DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax, generated millions of responses from its Claude AI using thousands of fraudulent accounts to train their own models.
Chaudhry said the differing priorities in AI development between the United States and China could create room for new arms-control-style agreements on advanced AI systems.
“It opens up a unique space for a potential agreement on what we should not build in the future, in other words, red lines established by the United States and China on certain kinds of AI development,” he said.

Market Growth Factors
The South African market for telecommunications is developing quickly and digital transformation is accelerating, with technology increasingly central to the way businesses and consumers work and innovate. As remote work tools and e-commerce businesses have increased in popularity, demand for fast data has also increased, causing operators to invest heavily in their networks for increased reliability and speed. Government schemes to promote inclusive access are closing the divide between urban and rural areas with subsidized services and spectrum reforms. The mobile penetration rate is increasing and underserved and underprivileged groups are being given access to mobile banking, e-health and cash transfer applications. From these experiences, including the record sales of italy e-bike sales 2023 units, we can draw parallels not only with a national transformation, but also an international story of new sustainable forms of transport and the evolution of South African telecom toward a resilient economy and equitable society.
Infrastructure investment is set to remain a key driver of the South African telecoms sector, as operators roll out next-generation fiber technologies and next-generation wireless services in line with strong demand for bandwidth expansion. Action is supported by public-private partnerships and is designed to strengthen South Africa’s digital backbones against cyber attacks and disruptions. The large demand from consumers for HD video streaming and cloud computing is driving the need for ubiquitous coverage, particularly in higher-growth markets such as Gauteng and the Western Cape. The ability to attract foreign investment through favorable regulatory and policy environments is encouraging faster deployment of resilient networks. Similar, in 2023, growth in e-bike units sold in Italy emerges with nimble supply chain responsiveness, these new telecom advancements in South Africa frame connectivity as a driver of national competitiveness, future-proofing for a changing digital landscape.
As MVNOs enter the South African telecom services market, the landscape will change from competition focused mainly on price to one of differentiation and market segmenting. Deregulation lowers barriers to entry, spurring innovation and targeting of specific niches, such as prepaid services for youth or a low-cost plan for small businesses. Increased interoperability and portability between providers is making switching between them easier. Bundled services such as voice, internet and value added services provide users with their complementary value proposition and increase the opportunities to adopt new concepts. Service providers are investing in common infrastructure and innovative monetization approaches. Similar to other non-telecom analogs such as italy e-bike sales 2023 units where niche products slowly transcend into mainstream products, the MVNO-led evolution continues to open up a huge, vibrant telecom market for South Africa which will most likely continue growing for the foreseeable future.

Dorsey called stablecoins a leap “from one gatekeeper to another.”
Block’s Cash App is building stablecoin support into its core payment flow.
The company’s AI push has already cost 4,000 employees their jobs.
Longtime Bitcoiner and Block Inc. CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey has very reluctantly gotten onboard with the idea that the company’s customers are embracing stablecoins.
“I don’t like that we’re going to support stablecoins, but our customers want to use them,” he told Wired. “I don’t think it’s wise to go from one gatekeeper to another.”
Dorsey’s hesitant embrace of stablecoins isn’t exactly a heel turn, but it is a departure from his allegiance to the first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
Dorsey is the kind of BTC aficionado who has compared the Bitcoin white paper to “poetry.” During the same 2020 podcast interview, he told MIT research scientist Lex Friedman that he takes comfort in knowing that Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto has remained pseudonymous.
]]>
“I think it was smart not to do it anonymous, not to do it as a real identity, but to do it as a pseudonym,” said Dorsey, “because I think it builds tangibility and a little bit of empathy that this was a human or a set of humans behind it. There’s this natural identity that I can imagine.”
He founded the Crypto Open Patent Alliance in 2020, which would later challenge and win in court against computer scientist Craig Wright’s “false narrative” about being Nakamoto.
During the same interview with Wired, he was very careful to clarify that Block aligned itself with Bitcoin—not crypto more generally—”because I believe the internet needs an open protocol for money transmission.”
Block has embraced Bitcoin in multiple ways, including offering Bitcoin buying and selling through Cash App, enabling Bitcoin payments via its Square merchant terminals, and developing a hardware wallet and modular mining rig system.
The stablecoin mention likely refers to something Block Business Lead Owen Jennings said during the firm’s earnings call in February. During the call, he told investors that the company is in the process of rolling out its new core payment flow.
“Critically, that’s connected to Moneybot, and then it also is the flow that is built to support stablecoins,” he told investors. “So [we’re] continuing to tweak things there and get that rolled out to 100%.”
Moneybot is an agentic AI assistant integrated into Cash App by Block. It was launched in late 2025. The company has said the “always-on” assistant will deliver “contextual insights and actionable suggestions based on customers’ in-app activity.”
The integration of agentic AI has come at the cost of roughly 4,000 jobs, however, or 40% of the company’s staff, as announced in late February.
“Intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company,” Dorsey said in a letter sent to staff and shared on X. “A significantly smaller team, using the tools we’re building, can do more and do it better.”
