This is Claude Shannon. An absolute genius. I still don’t understand why this brain is not known more. Humanity owes him a lot. Let’s spread the word. I am a Fan of Claude Shannon. #FOCS

Le prochain fascisme sera l anti fascisme.

[L’Antidote Economique @Galt63John]

Fermer les médias qui ne répètent pas leur propagande.

Empêcher leurs adversaires politiques de manifester.

Intimider les journalistes qui osent les contredire.

Faire taire les opinions dissidentes au nom de la lutte contre la haine.

Et maintenant, saccager des librairies parce qu’elles appartiennent à Bolloré.

Ils prétendent combattre le fascisme. Ils en reproduisent les méthodes.

Et si vous applaudissez ces pratiques, cessez de vous prétendre antifasciste : vous êtes précisément ce que vous prétendez combattre.

Interesting series of polls on how political choices differ depending on whether people have kids or not. 👇

[Smirkley @Smirkley]

Young men with kids voted to the right of men without kids by 40 points.

Young women with kids voted to the right of women without kids by 35 points

Introducing Quest, the personal agent that studies you like a profiler.

Quest is for believers-only. It requires radical transparency: full access to your life so your agent can craft your memory.

If you give it a shot, you’ll unlock a personal advisor, always in your corner, helping you and encouraging you to start your quests.

Quest is built different:

1. Memory from day one: 100+ wiki files created on you, all your relationships mapped.

2. Phone-Use: Quest has its own Android phone, and can control messaging apps like WhatsApp, Instagram or TikTok.

3. Fluid UI: Quest builds tailor-made iOS mini-apps around each of your quests.

4. Mothership of AI Assistants: Quest can manage your Instinct and Muse on your behalf.

5. Self-Improving Proactivity Harness: Quest reacts to anything, not just your email, and its proactivity evolves from your feedback and its own mistakes.

Another VC walks into a bar

The bartender asks 'What'll you have?'

The 2nd VC says 'I’ll have what the first VC had but give me half as much and charge me double”

[Neil Zeghidour @neilzegh]

We’re hiring, and while we’re an in-office company, we’re now also welcoming exceptional talent in remote!

[Laurent Mazare @lmazare]

Just one week in, and our new open-source TTS model Phonon has already been downloaded ~85k times! So exciting to bring models to the open-source community. And check out our inference codebase in 🦀, it should make the most out of your local CPU/GPU/NPU/...

[Constance Grisoni @ConstanceGriso]

Join us in Paris next week, together with our friends at @covaldev @bnicholehopkins

[Constance Grisoni @ConstanceGriso]

Bringing voice to any device. With models that are getting smaller. and it's open-source.

[David Galbraith @daveg]

I fact checked this and it is depressingly accurate.

[Neil Zeghidour @neilzegh]

Fastest model out there.

.@lightpanda_io has been building the web browser of the future and it is now out of beta : it is dazzlinling fast and smart . https://t.co/z6vL996XP3

[Gradium @GradiumAI]

Our first build with Jev from @typesafeai: a support agent that design its voice from the call context.

What would you build?

@nathanbenaich Excellent 👏👏

[Laurent Mazare @lmazare]

We just released our latest TTS model, time to first audio went from ~250ms to ~50ms 🚀. Co-designing the model architecture and a custom inference stack is what made such an improvement possible. If you want to make some GPUs go brrrr running some audio models, we're hiring!
