🔥 Hot off the press: “The conversational nature of reality - Issue #45” getrevue.co/profile/voicefir… (via @revue)
VoiceFirstWeekly retweeted
@voicefirstlabs premise back in 2018 when we founded was a bet on voice as the natural way to interact with computing. Much has happened since. Can’t say I don’t spot trends early

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Even in the era of AI, learning to navigate source code still matters. Agents can search, summarize, and propose changes, but we need a map of the system to ask better questions, verify what they find, and understand the consequences of a change.

We did this video with Amazon Sumerian back in 2018. Since then AS is shutting down, but the vision of virtual presenters for shows like VoiceFirst Weekly or even the daily news is even more clear

This is the turning point of conversational paradigm shift @voicefirstlabs started talking ~ 5 years ago. ChatGPT/Midjourney have accelerated public perceptions.
Highlights:
Screenless interfaces
B2C -> B2B
Agents are the new apps.
The palm of your hand is your new screen
[VIDEO] The Humane AI pin just launched for $699.
Is this pin going to be the new Apple iPhone?
Idk, but here are 3 big takeaways from the launch:
1. OpenAI/Microsoft will eventually become infra for all tech
Hard to beat them at this rate, they will become AWS for AI
2. AI is gonna make apps (as we know them) a lot less important
Screenless interfaces powered by AI will be connected to apps on the back end and bundled into a subscription service
My Humane subscription will come with Tidal and I will rarely/never need to interface with tidal again
Many consumer products will go from B2C -> B2B
3. Product design is going to look a lot different in 5-10 years
Maybe unrecognizable.
The bottom line is how we are interacting with these devices are changing.
This week we had the GPT store. Agents are the new apps.
Now we have AI pins.
The palm of your hand is your new screen.
Wild times.

Agent driven development era has begun
In the last few months, we've been building a platform that allows users to register new agents (including third parties) on Copilot. DataStax is one of the first integrators and we would like to open the doors to everyone who are building developer tools. #GitHubUniverse

Is this thing on? The #voicefirst is officially undoubtedly on its way now. No turning back @voicefirstlabs

I am excited for #ChatGPT for the same reasons I founded @voicefirstlabs: human interactions are conversational in nature, and for computing to bridge closer to human understanding we first need to break the barrier of conversations.

We communicate conversationally, nature exchange messages too in its many different subsystems. Conversational interfaces is not a computational aspiration, it is the best reflection of how we operate in nature in the digital space. It is *inevitable*
Spotify is acquiring Sonantic, the AI voice platform used to simulate Val Kilmer’s voice in Top Gun Maverick

This is sad on one part, but pretty revealing on the other. Voice is part of ecosystems, an interface between for digital devices. It makes sense it is integrated with Android apps and other apps in general.

We used to ask if language shape your world and now we are asking if we have the world in language ( in this case GPT3 language models) what shapes will uncover for us
Is the nature of civilization found in Large Language Models?
I just published an essay about what alternate histories generated by GPT-3 can teach us.

AI art with prompt: “growth is looking towards the light” at every point in life despite of the darkness. Playing with the prompt lines and the images is an art of itself. Still early
