We’re proud to be co-presenting Data After Dark again! 🌁

[Jonas Du @JonasYDu]

Data After Dark is headed to San Francisco this December.

What started as a pro-data center house party in DC is becoming a movement of techno-optimists who still believe in the promise of American innovation and technology.

Want to work with us or attend? DM me!

Capitalism gave us epidurals, rockets, the internet, and now flying cars.

All in one century.

Researchers developed an AI-generated voice resembling the study participant’s using recordings of him speaking before ALS had severely impaired his speech.

AI then translated his brain activity into speech using that reconstructed voice.

In my latest for @ComputeOptimist, I explore how AI is helping restore natural communication for those living with ALS.

Not just through greater speed, accuracy, and independence, but by translating brain activity into tone, emphasis, and even song.

Data After Dark in VICE tonight:

“For Ed Tarnowski, the founder of The Compute Optimist, it’s a matter of historical scale. ‘It really is our generation’s Industrial Revolution, but bigger,’ he tells me. He doesn’t deny the risks, but his bet is that ‘the risk of slowing down is far greater than pushing forward.’”
