i'll say it. this is the most braindead direction in AI right now
the tech is insane, yes. it sounds human, it laughs, it stops mid sentence, it drops the “uuhh”
that's EXACTLY what's wrong with it
we spent decades making computers fast and precise and now we're paying billions to make them hesitate like a nervous dude
when i talk to a model i want answers AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE. i don't want a fake friend that talks over me
if you want a human experience go talk to a REAL human with REAL emotions. touch grass bro please
and honestly if you're so lonely that you need a machine to fake pauses and laughs for you, that's not a product problem, that's a you problem
this app is cooking people's brains and this is the proof

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.

@jack Explain why we need natural voice synthesis. Explain why a computer should be able to pass as human and why that's a good thing for society. Tech bros are a blight on humanity.

Today, @agentmail has processed over 1 Billion emails.
A year ago, we processed under 20 million.
So we figured it was time for AgentMail to grow up a little too :)

Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer.
And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety.
Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight.
So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very are open.

Careful you don’t get too dependent on ai designing for you. These companies aren’t making any money. They can decide to double, triple, quadruple their pricing anytime they want to

There used to be some cases where it might make sense to do some work for free. I’ve done it.
But nowadays with ai is so much easier for people to take advantage of the free work. I can’t say it’s worth the risk anymore.

I think “tech merch” could look good if they weren’t for diabolical companies most people resent for making their lives worse
Online Ceramics has been building this visual style since 2016.
- more "tech merch" could look good if companies gave collaborators room to interpret the brand.
- we're getting almost a decade of someone else's creative identity with this collab, PLUS the level of care that goes into the pieces
- their own cotton blanks are cut and sewn in LA, and the tie-dyes are done by hand in their studio.

People keep blabbing about taste. What we should be blabbing about is effort.
Putting in effort is becoming more and more rare these days.
Taste implies you’ll just nail it on the first try, which I don’t really agree with
