Published on Oct 19, 2021
In this week’s episode of The Feelings Lab, we discuss the emotion of pride. Join returning hosts Dr. Alan Cowen, Dr. Dacher Keltner, Danielle Krettek-Cobb and Matt Forte with our guest Cassidy Lichtman, a professional volleyball player for Athletes Unlimited, a Chairperson of the Volleyball Player Executive Committee, and former member of the USA Volleyball Women’s National Team.
Learn the difference between authentic and hubristic pride, how prideful energy motivates, and how the pressure to sustain glory and triumph can destroy reputations. And yes, gorillas do beat their chest in celebratory pride.
Begin by hearing Dr. Dacher Keltner explains how pride helps us to find our “place” in society.
Learn about how pride and shame exist in opposition to one another and hear Dr. Alan Cowen discuss the complexity of these rival self-conscious emotions.
Next, hear our guest star Cassidy Lichtman describes how pride is essential when you step on the volleyball court and compete at the highest levels.
Hear Dr. Alan Cowen share his favorite animal behavior manifestation of pride, seen in both gorillas... and humans!
And hear Danielle Krettek-Cobb details behaviors with authentic versus hubristic pride, and her heartbreak with Lance Armstrong’s downfall.

We’re introducing Voice Control, a novel interpretability-based method that brings precise control to AI voice customization without the risks of voice cloning. Our tool gives developers control over 10 voice dimensions, labeled “masculine/feminine,” “assertiveness,” “buoyancy,” “confidence,” “enthusiasm,” “nasality,” “relaxedness,” “smoothness,” “tepidity,” and “tightness.” Unlike prompt-based approaches, Voice Control enables continuous adjustments along these dimensions, allowing for precise control and making voice modifications reproducible across sessions.

How EverFriends.ai uses empathic AI for eldercare
To truly connect with users and provide a natural, empathic experience, EverFriends.ai needed an AI solution capable of understanding and responding to emotional cues. They found their answer in Hume's Empathic Voice Interface (EVI). EVI merges generative language and voice into a single model trained specifically for emotional intelligence, enabling it to emphasize the right words, laugh or sigh at appropriate times, and much more, guided by language prompting to suit any particular use case.
