Testing an interactive liquid type tool for an upcoming project.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@pizzaboy Depends on HOW you use those elements.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@eyeonaxis Such a perfect shot! 👌

The age of blandness.

I would argue for the exact opposite: when working with ai I want to feel like I’m interacting with a machine, not a faux human.

[Hassaan Raza @hassaanraza]

The whole point of building Tavus has been simple: talking to a machine should feel as natural as talking to a friend or coworker.

It’s hard to describe all the tiny nuances that make a conversation feel human. The little expressions. Moving around in your chair. Knowing when to speak and when to listen. The dance of it all.

Griffin is by far the closest anyone has come to a model that can capture those nuances. The first time I saw it being used, I had no idea I was watching our model rather than just a normal video call.

I’m so incredibly proud of this team and what they’ve built.

@nic_carter Prompting without actually knowledge will lead you nowhere.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@faydkr Wrong type of client…

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

Email titles that say 'Quick question'... 🤦‍♂️

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@Cezako2 @motionpunk1 You don't get it. I don't let ai generate shit. In fact, I hate generative ai, it's theft.

I design something, and I use ai agents to bring it to life using code or software access.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

I’m not talking about speed. I’m talking about the ability to bring anything you can think of to life.
I’ve spent 20 years refining my craft in design, brand and 3D. Now I use that knowledge and amplify it using ai to do things that I couldn’t have done alone before.

It might not actually be 100x but it does feel like it to me.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@ICStatues @motionpunk1 No, I don't mean outsourcing the creative part. I mean using agents to do production and technical work.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@Stretchedwiener @motionpunk1 I see kids learning crazy fast these days. Knowledge is free these days, all they need is a hunger to learn. The junior role might just be dead.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@bpandopinion great work!

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@motionpunk1 It surprises me to see how so many 'progressive' creatives are actually just conservative at heart.

Many don't see how much power they have once they use all their vision, skills and knowledge and multiply them x100 with AI.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@cgpov Is it any different than the Codex C4D bridge? Or is this just the official thing?

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@manwon_man This is reality??

[Mo @atmoio]

Opus 5.5 is disturbing.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@WesleyBancroft That example really isn't as great as he makes it out to be. It still looks like a 'Claude' design. Typical typography. Things look out of proportion. Nope really not great.

[De Ridder @SphericalWaver]

@posta_octavian ‘How’ will be less important. The focus will be more on ‘why’ and ‘what’.
