Love seeing the timeline wake up to the fact that data is the most underinvested area in ML. But let’s set the record straight: the world’s premier data research company isn't hypothetical. It already exists. It’s called @datologyai, and we’ve been building it for 2.5 years. 🧵

Aaru recently reached a $1 billion valuation, making it one of a growing crop of hot companies led by people who have barely cracked their 20s on.wsj.com/4b4wunG

Thank you to the @WSJ and @VranicaWSJ for writing the first page in the story of Aaru. More soon.

Congrats @producer_ai on your acquisition by @GoogleLabs & @GoogleDeepMind! I remember reaching out to Seth during their fundraise after hearing whispers that he was working on something in AI music. After seeing @runwayml revolutionize video, we at @felicis felt that music would be next. His energy and passion for building a tool to empower music creators came from his own love of music (Producer execs double as band members). @sethforsgren , @HaykMartiros, and the rest of the team worked tirelessly to create a fun and powerful music creation platform. It’s been great partnering with @nabeel, @sparkcapital , @southpkcommons, and others on this one. Looking forward to seeing Producer scale globally with the help of Google! blog.google/innovation-and…

@sethforsgren Congrats on awesome journey. Thanks for letting me and @felicis be a small part of it!

It started with the silly idea of generating images and turning them into music. We didn’t know if it would work, and we didn’t care if anyone used it. We were building it for ourselves. As musicians, we marveled at how this instrument could inspire and challenge us. A lot has changed since then, but that sense of wonder has remained. Couldn’t be more excited to continue the journey as part of @GoogleLabs

Producer is now part of Google! We’re proud to be joining @GoogleLabs and @GoogleDeepMind to build the future of music creation. Producer is here to stay, with more on the way. Come make music with us!

🚨 Big news: @producer_ai is officially joining Google Labs! 🎶 ProducerAI is a creative collaborator, whether you’re writing lyrics, developing a melody or experimenting with genres. With ProducerAI, you can turn your imagination into dynamic tracks. We share ProducerAI’s mission of helping artists of every level make the music they imagine with Lyria 3, and are excited to welcome them to the Labs family. Learn more: blog.google/innovation-and…
