Lies again? NRIC Card

It's fascinating to learn about the work that goes into making content available to a global audience via localization.

[@alexxlem]

Wow, that’s the best and most insightful talk on entrepreneurship I’ve seen in a while. 👏🏼

[@justinwyatt8]

As though any of us regular people can build something like this now or in the future. Almost impossible with the landscape that is changing now. Really nothing to learn here that is useful for my own personal gain.

[@user-uv1sb2by6y]

I think it would be quite great source of studying speech. Thank you for sharing great clip. 👍

[@thamntn]

Please interview Luis von Ahn of Duolingo and Dylan Field of Figma ^^ I would very love to hear their inspirational stories!

[@Mr_better94]

go a head guys you are a nice team you are really inspired me

[@noobicorn_gamer]

I wonder how he’s going to deal with the recent ai evolution that’s happening now because this affects translation. I am a part time translator myself (I mention this cuz I know the difference of translating written and spoken translation) and I admire he built an empire around it but having used bing and chatgpt for a while now, I can definitely see this could be a potential threat to his business. The translations are still not perfect in context, but at least to my experience it’s around 80% right with chatgpt and all it needs is to proof read it and it’s good to go.

[@jordantian8861]

I would imagine if he has a big company money they might even develop the other 20% and save on labor costs even more

[@ahmedrizig4853]

[@darkchocolate4595]

"Now, once you form that story, one of the core roles as a CEO is to repeat your story again"
This is the a sentence that I liked the most.
Thanks for sharing this interview.

[@tyrellcobb4665]

I had to do some localization of my own to understand him sometimes lol but plenty of great insights and advice in this video

[@askingwhy123]

His bootstrap with Sony reminded me of Cryptonomicon 😂

With the huge advancement of AI at lightning speed. Will big companies just develop and train their own subtitles services? People could potentially losing their jobs overnight right?

[@ronf28]

I wonder how the industry will survive with the introduction of AI

[@jimhim585]

I can't help but think this business is prime for getting gobbled by AI

[@renegadevestige1639]

Your vision has to be realistic, shareable and understood by all the employees.
Elon Musk: (Spacex) We're going to build reusable rockets so that humanity can go to Mars.
(Tesla) We're going to make electric cars sexy.

이사람은 좋은사업가가 아닙니다. 업계사람들은 다들 알고 있습니다. 이 인터뷰에 속지 마세요.

[@kevinhe7]

AI can make them jobless

[@ReedoAce]

This guy literally copied a free streaming site and monetised it by creating Netflix
