Nvidia and Salesforce Ventures are investing $141 million in the ‘text to video’ AI startup Runway.
Curious. Runway has been around for a few years and doing quite well - if you have seen Colbert’s Late Show or Everything Everywhere All At Once - you have seen Runway in action … so why suddenly now? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Rhetorical people. Rhetorical.

“It’s also worth noting Tempo was incubated by SRI International, the agency that created Apple’s Siri software.”
it’s not clear if this is being positioned as a benefit or a warning. 😂

“I could have put the lists into a spreadsheet, but that would mean the client would have to open the email and then open the attachment. If you knew the level of computer literacy my clients have, you would understand why I wanted to avoid that and just have the lists in the body of the email.”
