first two weeks of august at @AILearnCircle

registrations for most of the events are now live.
https://t.co/HZZ7HPgenz

we'll be opening registrations for the remaining events soon.

AILC is now a place where founders and builders openly share their playbooks, builders help each other, people find co-founders, ship products together, get feedback, make friends, and sometimes even land their paid customers and design partners.

the goal has never been to host events for the sake of hosting events. every session is meant to help someone take one small step forward in their building journey.

here's what the first two weeks of august look like.

1 aug - gtm buildathon with The LIT School
thanks to Aditya ojha school for all the help

2 aug (morning 9 am) - poha jalebi club

16 aug - marketing and growth jam with Women in Product Marketing™

grateful to Garima Aneja and @AshkarGomez , 7 Eagles team for supporting and co-hosting alongside.

we'll announce each of these events separately too.

but this still isn't the complete calendar.

we're finalizing a few more sessions and partnerships, so expect a couple more announcements over the next few days. we'll also do a separate post for each event with more context, speakers, registrations, and why we're excited about it.

also, none of this happens because of one person.
huge thank you to our team including @LekhanshRana , @avirupzen , @prernaa_agarwal , @AditiDewan12 , @ErKiranKumar_ who's helping behind the scenes. you know who you are.

if you're into ai, ml, building products, startups, or just want to hang around people who are building cool things every week, comment below or dm me to get added into Ailc community

tag your friends or co-workers who'd love to join these events.

“dont be so loyal to your suffering”
what a legend @DrGaborMate is 🫡

this video covers 5 regrets most people on deathbed have.

a) wish I had courage to live life true to myself, not for others
b) wish I had not worked so hard
c) wish I had courage to express feelings
d) wish I had stayed in touch with my friends
e) wish I had let myself be happier

its race against time noww

[Chaitnya Shrivastava @atypical_chai]

This is Day 6/7 of making an AI film for Tokyo film festival and we are in deep sh*t rn.

The story @mahaulguy & I were building towards had some big holes so we had to scrap it.

Now what we have is a drawing board and 30 odd hours to build, merge and create something beautiful!

Day 5/7 of making an AI film for Tokyo film festival by @localhosthq

So today was the true test of our patience, @mahaulguy & I have made different short films before so we have a sense of what angles work but creating those angles in the AI world is an iterative nightmare!

The video gives a glimpse of the same where you try your dream shot up untill you realise you are credit poor and then you take more pratical calls.

Welll that would have been the lesson but we gonna still do it and we gonna do it well.

Special mention to our unofficial crew and amazing supporters - @invideoOfficial, @suno, @_rajrajhans, @Adobe & our laptops!

[Anuj Khandalikar @mahaulguy]

@atypical_chai @mp3addi @tarini_axory @suno thanks guys!
dming you

Day 4/7 of making a film for Tokyo AI Film Festival!

After being rejected for song credits (we asked a musician nicely but got rejected) we decided to take matter in our own hands. We made a groundsup new song using suno✨
Me and @atypical_chai are donning hats of musicians too therefore :p

thanks to @suno, @invideoOfficial @_rajrajhans for continued support!

@hardeep_gambhir , @Chandan_Perla here we goooooo

[Anuj Khandalikar @mahaulguy]

on my mac, I have stored "amcq" has hotkey for "ask me clarifying questions before you build anything"

insanely efficient for getting what you want from ai.

[Anuj Khandalikar @mahaulguy]

@take_lite_pa Yess but why dont they my man? Curious

[Chaitnya Shrivastava @atypical_chai]

Day 3/7 of making an AI film for Tokyo film festival!

Soo just watch the video first then I'll tell you the story...

Okay now that you are back, getting good license approved audio is so f**kn hard.

The music in frame is by the amazing guy @zariyamusic which I can't use due to licensing issues and he was the one who at least politely declined, other places have been a worse nightmare.

Now have been wacking my head on AI generated songs but it's super hard to do if you don't know the technical know hows but we are trying for the last 8 hrs & hopefully close to a breakthrough.

The verdict comes out tomorrow!

Btw in case you are new, @mahaulguy & I are creating a film for TAIF.

And thanks again @invideoOfficial & @_rajrajhans for the help :)
