I built the simplest way to convert your video to other languages. all you need is a youtube link. no install required. curious? check out @lexfridman + zuck talking about @elonmusk in hindi.
pattern matching video to langauge fails bc you can’t compare the mediums of text and video text is 1D, so predicting forwards / understanding a corpus is of text is easy. it’s discrete, so it's very easily (relatively) modeled statistically video is continuous, it captures…
active speaker detection (asd) is now in beta — available for creator plan and above. automatically detects who’s speaking in any scene and lipsyncs only them. no manual edits needed. perfect for translating podcasts, interviews, group videos, and movie scenes.

there’s no “secret sauce” in software or research anymore. just speed. whoever ships faster, learns faster, wins. the only real edge is compounding attempts… engineers who’ve tried, failed, & tried again. experience is the only multiplier left & even that gap closes quickly to…
What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for. what a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. what a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. what a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.
if you're [1] ambitious, [2] intelligent, [3] with high agency startups are for you ps we're hiring at @synclabs_so. dm to be discovered

all vfx tasks will be subsumed by controllable video editing models
lmao cursor swtiching to subscriptions + usage makes total sense. how else can a business whose costs scale with usage ever become profitable? users pay for features in the product (traditional SaaS) plus for the compute/tokens/resources they use
Excuse me wth is this @cursor_ai ? We paid $7k yesterday for a yearly subscription. And then you immediately pull the rug on us. One of our dev just used all 500 requests in a single day. Is that even legal?
one of my favorite / most helpful investors the sheer amount of effort kulveer takes to help us win is insane. intros, advice, generally anything in between

PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.
the future is bright
