This is the turning point of conversational paradigm shift @voicefirstlabs started talking ~ 5 years ago. ChatGPT/Midjourney have accelerated public perceptions.
Highlights:
Screenless interfaces
B2C -> B2B
Agents are the new apps.
The palm of your hand is your new screen

[Marisniulkis @mlescaille]

Agent driven development era has begun

[Marisniulkis @mlescaille]

Is this thing on? The #voicefirst is officially undoubtedly on its way now. No turning back @voicefirstlabs

We did this video with Amazon Sumerian back in 2018. Since then AS is shutting down, but the vision of virtual presenters for shows like VoiceFirst Weekly or even the daily news is even more clear

A good day as any other to reread Alan Kay's "The Computer Revolution Hasn't Happened Yet"

I am excited for #ChatGPT for the same reasons I founded @voicefirstlabs: human interactions are conversational in nature, and for computing to bridge closer to human understanding we first need to break the barrier of conversations.

We communicate conversationally, nature exchange messages too in its many different subsystems. Conversational interfaces is not a computational aspiration, it is the best reflection of how we operate in nature in the digital space. It is *inevitable*

Spotify is acquiring Sonantic, the AI voice platform used to simulate Val Kilmer’s voice in Top Gun Maverick

It is not as much as voice technology is meant to be a platform, but that every platform will be voice enabled. Google Actions had their role in getting there.

[VoiceFirstWeekly @voicefirstlabs]

This is sad on one part, but pretty revealing on the other. Voice is part of ecosystems, an interface between for digital devices. It makes sense it is integrated with Android apps and other apps in general.

We used to ask if language shape your world and now we are asking if we have the world in language ( in this case GPT3 language models) what shapes will uncover for us

AI art with prompt: “growth is looking towards the light” at every point in life despite of the darkness. Playing with the prompt lines and the images is an art of itself. Still early

“Artificial intelligence landed a major part in the new Top Gun sequel: Val Kilmer’s voice.

Scientists helped Kilmer reprise his role as Iceman by using A.I. to craft a computer-generated replica of the actor’s voice that could read his lines.” https://t.co/oh1qw5Qmwy
