I think this might be my new fave writeup of @CastRoomsHQ (from Web Curios). Includes following gems:
"MASSIVE WALL OF AUDIENCE" stunning accuracy
"VERY 2020" ouch but fair
"This is a really good idea" yep we think it is!
ALT Screenshot of the following text "Castrooms: This does, I concede, feel VERY 2020, but there’s no reason why some of you might not still find this useful – Castrooms is a bit of software designed for DJs or indeed anyone doing live performances to a virtual audience, and which presents everyone listening to / watching said performance as a massive WALL OF AUDIENCE in front of the performer so as to give them a better sense of presence and feedback when putting on a show. This is a really good idea, which is eerily similar to technology that The Pleasance Theatre were experimenting with during lockdown, which makes me wonder whether it’s in any way connected – anyway, if you do stuff that involves ‘streaming comedy or music or theatre or whatever to a reasonable audience’ and you would like to deepen the connection between perform and said audience then, well, HERE HAVE THIS."
We are excited & proud to be hosting a huge variety of incredible performers across this weekend on CastRooms 💙 Whether you want to rave or relax there's something for everyone this weekend so get your tickets now at castrooms.com/events 🎉

“AI should amplify human capabilities, not replace them.” Greg Brockman, @gbd founder of @OpenAI#chatgpt#DALL-E was honest & humble, often saying “I don’t have all the answers” when discussing how AI might be regulated and the ownership of AI-generated content. Fascinating talk
It’s a messy but beautiful process. And I’m so blessed to have @myddelton by my side to lead product / engineering as I don’t think I could do it otherwise. I’m proud of how courageous we are being.
As someone who leans towards perfectionism and spent 20 years building reputation in business, the early testing process is challenging to my ego. But I know there’s no other way and I have to put that aside in order to build a product that people will love to use!
