every creative team we've worked with loves this rewriting dialogue without a reshoot saves time/money sure, but we have directors tweaking lines 24 hours before launch. imagine the creative freedom
no more re-recording...

agents are cool, but lets not forget about solving real problems for real people. 8 billion people in the world. what happens when every story can reach everyone, natively?
For the past 3 years we have been researching and learning how humans communicate and interact with each other. We are now at a point where the technology is ready - in production, on your screens. Lipsync is a frontier that will unlock stories to travel freely. Every story deserves an audience. There is good in AI, but it is our responsibility to find it. sync.so/vision

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com
Announcing: USVC AngelList exists to power the innovation economy. To date, we have powered $125 billion in assets, 25,000+ funds, and 13,000+ startups. Today, we’re opening it for retail access. @usvc_ is a regulated fund that holds stakes in promising private companies. There are no accreditation requirements and anyone can get started with as little as $500. Early portfolio includes xAI, Anthropic, OpenAI, Sierra, Vercel, Crusoe, and Legora. Own a stake in the companies defining the future. Learn more: usvc.com/
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post may imply more direct access than the filings support. Per the fund’s own filings, liquidity is board-controlled, fees include up to 3% sales load + 1.00% management fee + acquired fund fees, and exposure may be via SPVs/VC funds, not direct stakes. usvc.com/documents/USVC…

not all shots are created equal its easy to lipsync someone when they are facing the camera directly, but what happens when they are not? when they are looking to the side, or when they are putting on lipstick? what about when they are speaking in a mirror? sync-3 handles all that and more with ease, giving you the ability to tell your stories however you wish

We can talk all day about how these models are going to produce so much good and produce value. And I think they will. But the reality is many of my buddies are unemployed, can't seem to find jobs, and continue to send 1,000 resumes a week on LinkedIn. This is even worse for new grads. These models are wonderful tools but a majority of people don't know how to do much other than write emails with them. Just because you invent a tool like the hammer, doesn't mean everyone is going to magically know how to build a house with it. I don't think people are lazy. Last week I made a tweet doing a free Codex class and 5,000 people came by. It's clear people want to build and adapt, they just don't know where to start. The appetite is there, but nearly all of the scaffolding + education is missing. AI people love to quote the industrial revolution all the time, and how back then people were scared of machines taking their jobs but it all worked out. What they never mention is that it only worked out because we built an entire education system from scratch to bring everyone along. The industrial revolution created a massive wave of new jobs and nobody was trained for any of them. The tools didn't save anyone on their own, because the education had to catch up. It's never been a better time to start an education company. Millions of people want to learn, many of the tools are free, and the only thing missing is someone showing them the way.

react-1 is the first performance control primitive for video editing once you film a shot, a character's performance is locked – you can't iterate without risking changing the video entirely, or spending weeks in vfx tools react-1 changes this. record a scene, then fine-tune the performance in post. explore different emotional reads, adjust timing, refine the acting — all after the camera turns off the workflow: film → direct → refine
"acting is reacting" react-1, coming soon to a screen near you
