Presenting: the world's fastest AI voice chat - 500ms latency, running locally, 2x faster than anyone else.

How is this possible? 👇

Starlink on United might be faster than data on the ground

@AndrewCurran_ @scaling01 weird, I see the same result as you for extended thinking, but Instant claims June 2024 (which is also quite early...?)

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

@yungmetronome wise words

@zephyr_z9 @AndrewCurran_ Seems reasonable? 1 GW is 50-60B to construct. Comparable rates are around 9-13B per year for 1GW, implies 4-5 year payback which is also reasonable if GPUs are most of the capex. $15B per year, if it's actually 1.2 GW, seems like a small premium. Is this wrong?

life is scary and stressful anyways so you might as well accept a lot of responsibility it won’t change the situation that much

@hopes_revenge Make a cold brew overnight with it!

I feel embarrassed for people who need protein popcorn/soda/whatever to hit their protein goals. Like wait you're not beanmaxxing? Lmao brother. You're not Riding The Bean Horse? You child. Come to me when you have seen the face of Bean and have become Bean.

Craziest AI hardware pivot yet

[Dexerto @Dexerto]

Pasta sauce company Prego is launching a device that listens to and records conversations at the dinner table

The device is designed to capture laughter, stories, and everyday moments that can be revisited

@charles_irl an LLM would be great at getting freeform answers - like "whats something unique you bring to this event" or eliciting a fun fact to put on your name tag, where you'd iterate and refine an answer - but this is silly. "This AI chat could have been a textbox"

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

My first stab at building an AI benchmark.

HypotaxBench.

It's a test of a model's ability to write one extremely long/complicated sentence, while still maintaining coherence and syntactical soundness.

Needs plenty of work. But check it out!

@jamescham He's not using whisper, he's using the much smaller Apple ASR model. That's ok for his use case (wants ok results), but certainly not apples to apples

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

@freialobo better than 'we recognized you from X' at least

[chris @hingeloss]

I tried estimating this. The biggest variable is if Ant is paying 80% (like OAI-Azure) or if they're paying ~10% (typical for a SaaS vendor on marketplace), plus how much of enterprise is CSP vs 1P.

If 80%, could be net rev of $15B (vs $25B OAI). If 10%, then $28B. Wide spread but either way ridic growth

@yungmetronome They actually have a base in Djibouti, not that far away. I don't think PLAN has the capability to do credibly all that much though
