"Voice agents are built to be helpful. The problem is they can be too helpful and cross the boundary."

I sat down with @sumanyu, Founder and CEO of @HammingAI, at our @aiDotEngineer booth. @HammingAI stress-tests and monitors voice agents so the bank or hospital running one catches failures before a customer does.

Fresh after his talk “I Monitored Crime Audio. Voice Agents Scare Me More,” we got into:

0:00 how Sumanyu went from listening to 911 calls at Citizen to founding Hamming AI
0:39 why he's more nervous about voice agents than he was about crime
1:51 the first voice-agent security product
3:16 simulating messy reality: accents, background noise, code-switching
4:11 voice agents testing voice agents
5:47 why taking actions is table stakes, and what makes it dangerous
11:07 hot take: everyone rushed to B2B, more founders should build consumer

Thanks for coming to our @browserbase booth, @sumanyu!

Funny how characteristically each country reacts to the coronavirus. China tracks its citizens' every move. Hungary becomes a dictatorship. The US gives money to businesses. The Japanese conceal the problem. The British bravely but stupidly seek herd immunity.

[Nicholas A. Christakis @NAChristakis]

Let’s talk about what happens if you get COVID19 and recover. Are you immune to the disease? How long does the immunity last? And what does that mean for your life and for the public health and economy of our society? 1/

When evaluating others' successes, people tend to overestimate the contribution of structural novelty and underestimate the contribution of good execution.

When I was younger I assumed perfection came from people's desire to do things well. But it can also come from curiosity: if you're curious what the perfect version of something would look like, sometimes the only way to find out is to make it.

So grateful for being part of the Summer Hackers Program. After 4 weeks, I can say, I'm super excited to become a full stack web developer.

Just FYI:

Interest for the Summer Hackers Program has been so extreme we’ll only be able to accept a tiny percentage of applicants (<5%) so please don’t take a denial as... much of anything, really.

Wow, wow, wow!

SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket launched the STP-2 mission at 2:30am this morning. The two side cores, flying their second mission, returned to land successfully at Cape Canaveral.

It was incredible. Simply incredible.
