5/6 AI startup environments: newsletters, forums, specialized journals and social networks

The presence on the Internet, the information and the quality of it, are necessary tools for the technological company. The Internet has become reality for the entrepreneur. The element of differentiation between companies is not so much in the advertising purchased on google adword, as in the infusion of the company.
Newsletters: the indestructible medium
Despite my presence on linkedlin, I need, in the morning, to have a summary of the technologies, the companies that I follow. The newsletter, survival of the internets of the first ages, allows to have the synthesis of the day, of the week.

The danger is to find yourself drowned in information, this has hardly happened, in this case, it is managed. The newsletter is a cold media n it is not in the movement of social networks and that is very good. Again, AI startups need this.
Developer Forums
Technologies, like TensorFlow, the cloud in general, Linux evolves from month to month and like humans are social animals. The developer forums, by extension of users, allow to talk between builders.

These groupings are clan-based, but bring together specialists. When there is a concern, on such or such detail, the answer comes quickly. I have experienced this on the Nvidia forums.
Specialized journals
AI has revitalized a whole section of the specialized professional press. In two years, I have seen a number of reviews, talking about our ecosystem, appear. What is the difference between the periodic newsletter and the journal? The latter is background, hyper cold, analysis.

We need analysis, to see what other companies are doing. I am most satisfied with magazines like “IA Magazine” or “Technology Magazine”. Anglo-Saxon magazines are pragmatic, there is story telling, but where is the harm? I look forward to seeing posts on the metaverse.
Social networks, branding…
A startup, in addition to wanting to break through the speed of light, must make this known. 2021 was for IA_AUT_ECO the marketing year. It is true that I despised this part of our job, it goes without saying that we have the sacred fire. But marketing is just as important as clever use of Keras (it’s not just TensorFlow in life).

Social networks are necessary for us, they are tools, like visual studio code, the Unreal Engine etc.
