@jon_s123 @MikeMacCombie @HappenstanceAI Don’t you need to be connected with the investor / person on Happenstance before you can view their network? I’ve found that this creates friction. Am I wrong, is there a workaround ?

@MikeMacCombie @HappenstanceAI is building something really cool here to do this

One of the best hacks I've seen a founder use to get frequent customer intros from their investors: For a number of their investor updates, the founder would go to LinkedIn, populate a search query for 1st degree connections, and enter in every company where they wanted an intro (one search had 28 companies). They would then send a link in their investor update that would populate the same search on their investors computers, so that they would see all their first degree connections at every potential customer with one click. The founder would then have a table where investors could fill out their connections. And then, for social proof/appreciation/pressure, the founder would shout out every investor who made intros in their next update. This ended up being one of my highest revenue-generating portfolio companies so far.

@HirofumiInaguma @metavoiceio is building a duplex speech to speech model with full control for developers. DM me if interested!

@Daniel_Machlab Love the problems you've worked on! We're hiring at @metavoiceio

I was impacted by the Meta Superintelligence Labs layoffs yesterday I’m an AI researcher passionate about training large language models to be both more capable and safer. I’ve worked R&D of Llama Guard, Meta’s multimodal LLM safety guardrail, and on continued pre-training, post-training, and preference alignment of LLMs for custom use cases. Seeking new opportunities in LLM training and safety research If you know of teams working on these challenges, please reach out

@NWischoff Sign me up as well please

Hosting a founder dinner in SF next week. Let me know if you want to join!

@nicochristie another one is "lets double click on that" instead of "can you tell me more/explain it again", haha.

Accidentally said "hard" instead of "non-trivial" and they kicked me out of SF

Accidentally said "I write code" instead of "vibe code" and they kicked me out of SF

1/ Our belief @metavoiceio is that voice interactions with AI don’t go far enough. What if talking to AI felt indistinguishable from talking to a person, even after years of daily interactions? Fluid back and forth, empathetic responses and a consistent personality.

Why doesn’t Chrome have a (toggleable) side panel with Gemini always available? Would save me the trip to chat.com and back.

Big news: @wayve_ai is partnering with @Uber @dkhos @andrewgordonmac to launch the first-ever public road trials of Level 4 fully driverless vehicles in London 🇬🇧🚗 London is our home and one of the most diverse cities - where I can't wait to bring the benefits of autonomy!

@bryan_johnson Funniest thing I have seen all month!

always improving my protocol

AGI = All Ghibli Images?

@takayamentality @metavoiceio API is in private-beta right now. DM me for access.

We’re releasing access to Speech-1, our conversational speech model designed specifically for customer phone calls (8khz telephony) to reduce call drop rates.

@JellyQueen76986 @ha774N @metavoiceio DM me and we can expose a finetuning API for you.

@ha774N @metavoiceio And fine tuning for other languages ?

@ha774N @metavoiceio Not yet. What's your use-case?

@metavoiceio its opensource?

@anothercohen Happy to host you @join_ef There are a few voice AI companies building out of here.

In SF this week. What’s the best co work space to buy a couple day passes to and lock in? Also open to bumming a desk at someone’s office

Also, note how the model placed the logo above dummy hero text to visualise it in action. @OfficialLoganK, you might find this off interest :)

The model even extracted the colour palette from the website URL to display the logo in context. Here are the 4 sequential design variations before landing on the final logo.

I designed a new logo for @metavoice in 10 mins using Gemini’s new multimodal model. I was totally blown away! It's the first text/image model that nails — truly understanding the intent, following the design theme, and iterating effectively. Here's the final result. 🧵👇
