ElevenLabs CEO Mati Staniszewski shared the biggest lesson from his Palantir days: doing your job well requires a bit of understanding of art, and everyone should try to be an artist. He recalled Palantir's internal concept of an "artist colony," saying he never fully appreciated its strength until now, as ElevenLabs increasingly intersects with AI and the creative space. The quoting poster endorsed the view, arguing being an artist means finding creativity by looking at the world differently.
