Language models learned to simulate people by accident. And nobody maintains a byproduct. That's the starting point for the first entry in Synthetic Studio Research Log, our new blog series sharing details around our work simulating people with language models. In it, Jesse Michael Fagan, PhD looks at where this ability came from, what's quietly wearing it down, and why no one is measuring it. His sharpest point: models are getting better at running the study and worse at being in it. If your team uses synthetic audiences to make real decisions, that gap matters. New entries will be published every two weeks. Start with the first one here and subscribe to us on Substack: https://lnkd.in/ejw_MMC7 #SyntheticData #GenerativeAI #MarketResearch #Substack

What a memorable evening for the Blend Women’s Network!   Last week, we brought our community together at Leonetta NYC for The New Rules of Competitive Advantage — our first-ever in-person Blend Women’s Network event. We were thrilled to see attendees from Blend, our clients, and our partners come together for an evening of connection, conversation, and creativity.   The event featured a thoughtful discussion exploring how competitive advantage is evolving, the complexities of navigating risk and uncertainty, and the importance of leading authentically.   A huge thank you to our moderator, Maggie Melnick, and panelists, Shivani Srivastava and Olga Zubenko, for sharing their experiences, perspectives and insights with us.   Beyond the panel, guests had the opportunity to meet and learn from one another and even create their own custom fragrance during an interactive aromatherapy activity with BIOS APOTHECARY.   We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this milestone for the Blend Women’s Network so special. We’re excited to continue creating opportunities for women to connect, learn from one another and grow together.   Thank you to everyone who helped bring the evening to life!   📸 Photography by ReelTrack Media #BlendWomensNetwork #WomenInLeadership #Community #Networking
