If you look at the great technology companies, the thing that distinguishes them is the ability to keep coming up with a better way of doing things. There is no way to build a great new company without a great new product.

We're investing in Hedra, a company leading the way in AI character animation for video. AI video has come a long way, but when it comes to expressive, talking characters, most tools fall straight into the uncanny valley. Hedra is solving this by making it easy to generate character-driven scenes from any image and audio or script. Unlike other platforms, we believe its outputs are uniquely coherent, engaging, and natural. Nearly 3M users—from meme makers to enterprise marketers—have generated 10M+ videos on Hedra. If you’ve been on social media lately, you’ve probably seen one. We’ve been fortunate to know Michael Lingelbach and the team since their earliest days in our a16z speedrun 🧊 program, and have consistently been impressed by their velocity and blend of technical depth and product thinking. Link below to read more from Justine Moore, Troy Kirwin, Jon Lai, and Matt Bornstein.

.Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 on the "three-way Mexican standoff" between coders, PMs, and designers: "I'm seeing it in a bunch of the early leading edge companies in the Valley, they're circling around a job title loosely called 'builder,' or something like it. And basically the idea is that you had these separate jobs in the past of programmer, product manager, and designer." " I've been describing what's happening in the Valley companies as sort of this three-way Mexican standoff, where the programmers think that they don't need the product managers and the designers anymore 'cause they can have AI do that, and then each of the other two doesn't think they need the other two either." "I've been predicting they're all correct. The product manager can generate code and design now, and each of them can do the job of all three. The idea is the jobs change so now the job is builder."

"You are gonna have the opportunity to have this be something that is absolutely key to your skill set and key to everything that you can accomplish as a professional or as a creative for the next 50 years." "I would just lean in incredibly hard on that. Walk into every job interview with, 'Here's my portfolio, resume, whatever. Here is how I use this technology.

"I was speaking to a grandmother in rural Tennessee, and she was taking care of her eleven-year-old granddaughter. So she wakes up, she walks into her room, the bed's empty." " Detective arrives, no sign of force. There's nothing, except one thing that he remembers. There's a Flock camera just down the street. So he pulls out his phone and runs a search for the night and finds one car. He runs that tag, and it's his worst nightmare. It's a registered sex offender. So he logs into Flock, and he's looking for this car, and he sees the car is traveling down I-75." "The person's on the highway. The detective doesn't know what to do, so he does what every hero does, is he moves into action. He jumps in his car and races down I-75. As he approaches the interstate line, he sees the vehicle." "A violent struggles ensues, and at the end, he hears crying. And the girl's in the back. She's bound, but she's alive. They went on to go search the suspect's house, and the nightmare got scarier. Everything one would need to not only assault, but dispose of the body was there." "Now that girl's alive today because the detective had two things: He had a license plate, and he had direction of travel. This, for me, is one of thousands of stories I sadly hear about every day in America. I started Flock nine years ago because of this exact type of problem." Garrett Langley at TED Talks

David Sacks says the biggest risk of AI was described not by James Cameron in The Terminator but by George Orwell in 1984. “I almost feel like the term ‘woke AI’ is insufficient to explain what’s going on because it somehow trivializes it.” “What we’re really talking about is 'Orwellian AI.' We’re talking about AI that lies to you, that distorts an answer, that rewrites history in real time to serve a current political agenda of the people who are in power.” “To me, this is the biggest risk of AI... It’s not The Terminator, it’s 1984.” David Sacks

Mira Murati says human-AI collaboration needs models that can listen while they think: "The types of models that we work with today, they're very turn-based. You talk, they talk, then they go off and think." "While they're thinking, it's almost like they're deaf and blind. They cannot perceive anything else about what's going on." "By contrast, our interactions with each other are very rich. There is a lot of information in our interactions when we are silent, when we're thinking, when we're interrupting one another." "Interaction models are able to capture all of this nuance. They're not turn-based. They're more like time-based interaction, where they're continuously taking in audio, text, video, and continuously providing output." "This enables you to catch things like interruptions and simultaneous speech, and really create a rich, high bandwidth interaction between humans and machines." Mira Murati at Bloomberg Tech live with Emily Chang

Cursor CEO Michael Truell on the future of writing code: "Our goal with Cursor is to invent a new type of programming." "It looks like a world where you have a representation of the logic of your software that does look more like English." "You can imagine kind of an evolution of programming language towards pseudocode. You have written down the logic of the software, and you can edit that at a high level." "It won't be the impenetrable millions of lines of code, it'll instead be something that's much terser and easier to understand and easier to navigate."

Marc Andreessen on how Elon Musk works: "He has an operating method that he's developed that I would say is very unusual by modern standards. I'm not aware of another current CEO who operates the way that he does." "The top-line thing is this incredible devotion from the leader of the company to fully, deeply understand what the company does and to be in the trenches and talking directly to the people who do the work." "Basically what Elon does is he shows up every week at each of his companies, he identifies the biggest problem that the company's having that week, and he fixes it." "He does that every week for 52 weeks in a row, and then each of his companies has solved the 52 biggest problems that year." "Someone who used to work in one of the other aerospace companies and went to work at SpaceX said... 'It's like being dropped into a shocking zone of competence.'" "Most of us never have that experience. Most people are never in an organization where the bar is held that high." Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 with Chris Williamson

"We've always lived in a world in which software is this precious thing that you have to think about very carefully."
