No one had really expected Nova Technologies to drop two major announcements in one night.
The pattern had been established over the past four months: the pre-order event, one Transparency Report, maybe one product reveal if the timing was right. It was predictable, manageable, something the world had learned to anticipate and prepare for.
But two civilization-altering announcements in the span of fifteen minutes? That wasn't part of the pattern.
After Lucid Studio was revealed, the conversations had been intense but focused. Entertainment industry professionals, film school students, content creators, IP lawyers—they'd all understood immediately that their world was about to change. Emergency board meetings were already being scheduled at major studios. Executives were being pulled out of bed and crisis management teams were assembling.
It was going to be chaos, certainly, but it was contained chaos. A specific set of industries facing a specific disruption.
