<p>Hi HN, We're making a new social network for AI-generated videos.<p>While AI films are still a few years away, the niche of re-lipsynced AI videos is rampant and perhaps the fastest growing form of AI-generated content. Re-dubbed TV shows and movies are doing 10s of millions of views and have become their own new meme-format. In the last 7 days, videos made on the app did 1.1m views!<p>We made eggnog.ai/remix for this reason. You can use the product to make funny videos to send to friends (cartoon remixes take < 20s to make) and live-action take 1-2 minutes (no sign-up required to make something).<p>We also just launched our mobile app where you can reserve a username and see what other people are making! The mobile app feed is also a bit more real-time. You can download the app here:

<p>Function calls are definitely one part of adding context, but lots of others that codegen tools are probably missing. Have you guys considered post-mortems, pagerduty outputs, slack threads focused on specific issues, etc.?</p>

<p>We keep seeing remixed movie clips and podcasts that make us laugh, but it's hard to make a good one -- you need to find a clip that will work within the constraints of AI, use high-quality voices, make adjustments to lip-sync properly, etc. There is some potential for misuse which is why we haven't yet let just anyone create templates.<p>We're excited to show it to the HN community!<p>If you just want to watch a remixed clip, we recommend this one: <a href="https://www.eggnog.ai/mix/rXG3Zy1Tu9WgG0h2Uk9e">https://www.eggnog.ai/mix/rXG3Zy1Tu9WgG0h2Uk9e</a>
But you can explore the templates and make something with the link in the post</p>

<p>A private equity firm once asked the consulting firm I worked at to do a due diligence of a cold chain logistics company. It was ~5 years ago so perhaps things have changed, but some interesting tidbits:<p>+ Makes sense that this startup is starting with medical applications -- vaccines going bad because of poor refrigeration is a well-studied problem<p>+ I recall one cold-chain company being well known for its back-up battery because medical products are often stopped in customs, and the boxes cannot be plugged in. So you want boxes that have backup batteries that can remain unplugged for a few days while going through customs checks<p>+ High end seafood is another big application -- the company we were looking at started transporting lobster before moving upmarket<p>At the time there was a PE blitz to get into cold chain -- it had a lot of factors that they look for -- high margin, recession proof (at least the medical applications), etc.</p>

<p>Love it. One of the things we're focused on is getting better anatomical movement out of existing models. These models are great with animations like waves, cars, trains, flames, etc., but they struggle with people outside of basic movements. We're optimistic about future models, and we still think there are interesting, funny, exciting stories you can tell with what's available today!</p>

<p>What do you use it for? I haven't found a great use for it myself (outside of generating assets for landing pages / apps, where it's really really good). But I have seen endless subreddits / instagram pages dedicated to various forms of AI content, so it seems lots of people are using it for fun?</p>

<p>Have you thought about making more structured objectives? Shameless plug: I built a simple French/Spanish chat app and the #1 piece of feedback I got was that it's a bit aimless without any objectives.<p>I built out ~20 scenarios that would give users objectives like buying train tickets or ordering coffee. Now that's the most used part of the app (not the generic chat bot). As far as ads go, App Store ads are not bad and can't be ad-blocked, so that's an option.<p>Would love feedback! <a href="https://apps.apple.com/app/verbius-ai-language-learning/id6445966744" rel="nofollow">https://apps.apple.com/app/verbius-ai-language-learning/id64...</a></p>

<p>Hey Peter, that's a great point! I've listed my thoughts below:<p>A couple things:
1. From a compliance / risk point of view, the customers we've spoke to treat AI-enabled tools differently from standard enterprise products. The main reason is because the standard terms for free-tier usage specifies that model developers might use your inputs to train future iterations unless a user opts out. For that reason, a single third party that doesn't do anything with your data is better than the various AI tools that employees might use (and if you don't have an enterprise license with one provider like ChatGPT, that won't stop your employees from using free alternatives).<p>2. When it comes to sensitive data, there are different tiers. Companies like to keep their customer lists private, for example, but many tools in the sales stack rely on reading that data out of Salesforce as long as those vendors pass a security/compliance audit. Private keys are another tier of sensitivity, and we absolutely don't expect our users to share those. They can, however flag other text strings like "key=" or "API_KEY" or "username"</p>

<p>Hi HN,<p>We’re the founders of Abide — a tool to prevent employees from leaking sensitive data to AI models.<p>Over the past month we’ve spoken to lots of friends at tech companies, law firms, creative agencies, and more. There was a consistent theme: companies aren’t sure how AI tools affect their data privacy and security processes.<p>There are concerns that when employees use LLMs to write code or send emails, there's a security/compliance risk (e.g., accidentally sharing an API key in a prompt) or violation of privacy agreements (e.g., using AI to draft a memo about non-public client work).<p>The companies we spoke with have done one of two things: (a) outright banned use of LLMs until they figure out a plan or (b) sent a memo to employees telling them to be cautious.<p>We want everyone to have the 10x productivity gain of AI, but compliance is important for a business to do right by its customers, its regulators, and keep its name out of the news.<p>For now, we’ve built a straightforward product that does two things: (a) an app for compliance teams to upload words that cannot be sent to AI models and (b) a tool that monitors AI usage on employee laptops to enforce those policies.<p>We’re in beta with a couple of customers, but we’d love for you to checkout the demo on the website! If you’re interested, join the sign up list and we’ll set up an account for you today to poke around. Welcome to any questions, feedback, ideas, etc.!<p>Thanks!

<p>Hi HN -- have been learning Spanish for a year and struggled to find someone to chat with. The app is a simple UI on GPT-3 to emulate a penpal to chat with (currently supports Spanish and French).<p>Would love to hear feedback and suggestions!</p>
