"Infringing on someone’s likeness being disrespectful of property."

Ok, yeah. That’s a good point.

I do mean A.I. voice clone usage where you provide the voice, i.e. feed the machine, in order to smoothen the production of voiceover and then double-check and quality-assure the end result. If not good enough, I would never submit it to an audition or client.

(And I’m speaking from voiceover artist perspective who’s trying to be smart and ethical about A.I. usage.)

I’m only critizing the scarcity stance we voiceover tend to fear A.I. instead of embracing it, in more of an abundance mindset.

The resistance against A.I. in voiceover is just ridiculous.
Thank you :)

Hm… I’m not sure what you mean.

Is what you’re saying related to email marketing?

Could you rephrase it, please?

I’d appreciate it.

Thanks gus_mass!!

That’s very kind of you. I did indeed delete the post after I saw it got flagged because I was scared it would cause my profile to get deleted or something like that.

I now gave it a 2nd try, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25417505

If it also gets flagged, I’ll send a message to the mod [email protected].

SUPER THX for the two patio11 links. I added them to my reading list!

Cheers, - Alex :)

I’m just bored of transactional emails, isn’t there a better way?

Email marketing is boring, for me.I’ve been thinking about the whole email marketing spiel that has been going on for a while.There’s a lot of transactional interaction happening and when I’m looking at for-profit startups and even nonprofit organizations, I’m not seeing a whole lot of good storytelling.Instead I’m faced with me Me ME messages about how cool they are and what nice discounts...

That's a good idea with the private beta. Yet, even with a small amount of people we can do our service of connecting already - it's more manual work though for now.

Yes, we're working on it to get creative with that challenge, like with all the other challenges ;)

Thanks a lot for your words, jakejake. Very much appreciated! :)

Thank you jakejake. I have the feeling that people more and more want an already well executed MVP instead of a placeholder site explaining the idea and ask them to sign up.

What about feedback like:

"I'm personally getting sick of websites that have a button that says it'll do one thing, but instead I get redirected to give my information to someone I don't know or trust. No thanks."

The person felt offended because of being asked to enter information, information that was necessary to provide what the person was looking for, hence he pressed the button in the first place.

So, the person doesn't trust or know the business or service but the service needs that information to provide what the person is looking for.

A chicken-egg problem, it feels. Or a matter of communication it well?

How do you make a startup without faking it?

Connecting two parties (people + places) as a startup lacks both first as you just started. You want to show you exist but need to collect both so your website is not empty.How do you convince people you're real and not „fake“, „imposter“, „fraud“, or even a „lier“ so they don't feel betrayed?

Startup challenge: The right audience and finding ambassadors

How do you find, define and create space for the right audience that wants your product or service? What initiatives would you recommend to turn followers into fans who absolute adore what you do (ambassadors).The intention of this topic is to learn and teach on making that happen.The startup I’m currently co-creating offers alternative education and travel programs for remote workers (digital...
