This has the makings of a great project written all over it

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

@jenny_molloy If you like seafood then check out Luke’s Lobster! Boston common and the harbour walk are also pretty cool! Enjoy!

Whether you like it or not there really is no substitute for experience. The difference in experience between a 25 y/o and a 50 y/o is simply immense.
And if you don’t find any 50 year olds inspirational then you have clearly just been hanging out with the wrong 50 year olds! 😂

[Catch Up @CatchUpFeed]

The CEO of OceanGate, which is operating the missing Titanic tourist submarine, explains that the company didn’t want to hire any experienced “50 year old white guys” because they weren’t “inspirational.”

A remarkable demonstration of how AI will change gaming: this new demo from NVIDIA combines a low latency text to speech engine, a new foundational LLM built for gaming, and an audio to facial expression engine to create truly lifelike NPCs.

Allow me to introduce you to the most ridiculous yet amazing thing you will see this week.

@Rainmaker1973 I can’t say that the results on Rome surprise me…

@isaach That is wild. 👏🏼

@DanBratton2010 Brexit Spartans? 🤣 come on.

Well said. Like any tool it can be used or abused; applying it to right type of problem is key.

[Mara Pometti @91_pometti]

When are we going to focus on the real and useful applications of #AI? There are tons of business use cases where we can apply this technology. Yet, we keep only anthropomorphizing it…The narrative should change. Let’s start treating AI for what it is: a tool.

[blair kirkpatrick @mac_siccar]

Crazy that a good, comfortable strap wasn’t high on their priority list. Seems like such an easy win.
