Somewhere along the way, startups got it in their heads that the way to take care of employees is to throw amenities at them.
Kombucha on tap. Nap pods. Fireman poles between floors. Cold brew, hot yoga, catered lunches Tuesday through Thursday.
It’s ridiculous. None of that is what your best people actually want.
What they want is agency — the freedom to make real decisions and own real outcomes. And they want to be surrounded by other people who are just as talented and just as committed as they are.
There's more demand for Product Marketers than ever, but for the wrong reasons imo.
In reality this is just founders avoiding two real problems:
a) the product is not differentiated
b) the people building it have no taste
PMMs cannot fix this.
Most of the EU is busy regulating and designing plastic bottle caps 🥱
Meanwhile this is our new emotion model for AI avatars. Can you even tell this isn’t a real video any longer?
We just launched the world’s most realistic Personal Avatars at @synthesiaIO👇
Looks like you, sounds like you and speaks 29 languages fluently.
Record in 5 min w/ webcam or smartphone – you can get creative!
Check them out and try for yourself: https://t.co/75nOCPIpSg
✨ Introducing Synthesia 2.0 ✨
New features, new workflows and new avatar capabilities that will change the way we communicate with #video, not just in our free time, but also at work.
See more about it and let us know if you’re as excited as we are ⬇️ 🤩
AI Avatars aren't great actors...
They don’t actually understand what they’re saying or how they should say it.
Until now – with EXPRESS-1, we’ve trained our avatars to perform like an actor: tone of voice, facial expressions and body language👇
From happy to sad to optimistic in less than a minute 🤯
The world’s first Expressive #AIavatars are here and launching on April 25th.
Don’t miss the pre-launch discussion with some of the leading minds behind the new tech: @vriparbelli, @MattNiessner & @jnstrck
The X Spaces discussion will focus on EXPRESS-1, our new diffusion-based model, and will be moderated by @AlexVoica.
