One to three seconds. That's how long every voice assistant you've ever used takes to respond.
But the real gap should be 200 milliseconds. That's how long it takes a human friend to start responding when you stop talking.
@nvidia PersonaPlex did that.
Accounting for the risks, DeFi is cheaper for the unbanked but more expensive for those with access to TradFi.
A lot more risk mitigation innovation and standards are needed to compress that risk premium.
The seductive interpretation of this market is that AI has made company-building easier.
In one sense, that is true. Small teams can build functional products quickly, launch fast, automate aggressively, and reach customers with a fraction of the labor once required.
But that is only half the story.
AI has made building easier. It has not made winning easier.
Big week for @ihearamurmur!
10,000 murmurs were generated within just over a month since their early beta launch.
Murmurs are short, first-person voice moments where fictional characters speak to you by name, remember what you've told them, and hyperpersonalize their care.
Their thesis, now in @Newsweek: loneliness isn't the crisis.
Lovelessness is — the daily kind of love that notices, remembers, and reaches you in a form you can feel.
Ten thousand murmurs is the weight of that gap — and the sound of it being answered.
Congratulations 💜
Loneliness is being alone. Lovelessness is being surrounded by people and still feeling emotionally unfed.
@carylyne on why the AI companions, romance games, and parasocial fandoms everyone mocks are filling a gap nobody wants to name.
