DMs are open. Let’s see how this goes

I'm hiring designers. Two, in fact... 1. A Product Designer with VisD and Design System expertise 2. A Brand & Product Designer to bridge the divide between Tavus' public face and how users experience our products day in and day out. Both roles here: jobs.ashbyhq.com/tavus

Maybe instead of cold, quiet, surveillance bots (ie, AI notetakers) try bringing a warm, empathetic, collaborative, conversational AI to your meetings? Just a thought.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell today for 20 minutes. He said to say hi to your mom

Inspiring to see how quickly everyone on LinkedIn learned to write just like LLMs

That July the Fourth maybe with you always

@samhenrigold monosodium glutamate?

god if i ever get into this much money please don’t let me be this tacky

def feels like it

"'Calm is not silence about failure' is exactly the kind of chiasmus I can't stop producing," confesses Claude, and I'm gripped by quiet, by something I would have previously thought calm.

If you're not calling it Clopus for short, why do you hate the precious minutes that make up this fleeting existence?

When I said this, back in January, the thing I had made and was using was different from the Dom we shared today. Protean. Childlike. Far less capable. Her name wasn't Dom... But it was an opening, a step, a thrill, and a foreshadowing.

This is the dream I’ve been chasing since I started designing for Google Assistant in 2018, through all the years of transition through Bard and Gemini, and it’s the reason I left DeepMind to join Tavus ❤️🎉🔥🤯 Knowledge Navigator… but real.

Bring on the dancing horses, headless and all alone Shiver and say the words of every lie you've heard is how far I got tonight before the tears, because at my age there’s just so many

@samhenrigold ohhhh snap

wow i didn’t even notice anything weird or unusual about these glasses!

Aw man, David Hockney 😢

@michalmalewicz Oh, Apple unambiguously *was* late to the game, and they fumbled the ball on this twice before getting here. But I totally agree that this iteration of AI from Apple has the potential to connect with mass markets and meaningfully change how non-techies use their tech.

Apple wasn't late to the game. They waited for a move to to smash the chessboard into pieces. Big AI may not recover from this. Only a handful of people now will EVER need to use a frontier model. Too much hassle to go to some app or website when it's BUILT IN.

@VraserX Third time's the charm?

Apple just turned Siri into the AI layer for your whole life I was skeptical, but the upcoming Apple Intelligence and Siri AI update actually looks insane. The big features: • a real Siri AI app with saved chats • Siri can understand personal context from messages, mail, notes, photos and calendar • screen awareness, so Siri can react to what you are looking at • app actions, meaning Siri can actually do things inside apps • natural conversation instead of dumb voice commands • Visual Intelligence through camera, screenshots and Apple Pencil • AI writing help directly in Mail, Messages and text fields • smarter Photos editing with clean up, extend and reframing • Safari can watch pages for changes like prices and restocks • Shortcuts can be created with natural language • local AI models plus Private Cloud Compute for privacy This is the first time Siri looks like it could become what everyone wanted it to be from day one. A real personal assistant. If Apple ships this well, normal people are finally going to understand why AI changes everything. Which feature sounds most useful to you?

Time for the annual opening of Safari

@adcock_brett I’m confident we’ll find a place for them all

3 years ago we only had 2 humanoid robots…Never thought I’d say this, but we’re now building so many robots that we need storage space for them
