Have a great one!

AI for color palettes? Sure. Why not. Wouldn’t be the first.
Good news from the University of Cambridge! An AI-based drug has sped up the developments of treatments for Parkinson’s disease. Also reduces cost by 1,000x. This is what technology is all about.
An AI platform that helps you create realistic content for… marketing purposes.
Legally offer up your likeness? Fascinating. I guess this would only make sense for making money if you were already being used in the industry
.For those building things, a design overview of patterns in UI for AI. Not terrible reading and helpful for those starting out
.Reid Hoffman gives a fun interview about AI. Summary for you:
Reid Hoffman emphasizes the importance of philosophy in understanding human nature and the evolving questions surrounding AI's impact on society. He discusses how philosophy helps entrepreneurs critically think about possibilities and theories, highlighting its role in shaping scientific disciplines and the potential implications of AI on humanity.
Hoffman introduces Command Bar, an intelligent agent enhancing user experience, and delves into philosophical debates about truth and language games in relation to AI technologies. He also explores historical perspectives from philosophers like Quine and Wittgenstein, emphasizing the need for language models to evolve towards a better understanding of truth while balancing creativity and reliability.
Through these discussions, Hoffman underscores the significance of philosophy in addressing complex questions surrounding AI and technology.
Hoffman expresses great enthusiasm for the show "ChatGPT," describing it as a treasure chest filled with knowledge bombs and a roller coaster of emotions.
I’ve always found him very likeable.

Alice is a name I’ve always liked:
Alice is a native AI assistant app for macOS and Windows. It allows the use of different models like OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and more. It's fast, reliable, and offers many features, including prompts accessible from keyboard shortcuts, task-specific assistants, and image models with vision. Alice can also connect to software like Stripe, Hubspot, Asana, and more, and execute actions within the apps you use daily!
These personal assistants are going to become ubiquitous, even for folks like me who still very much enjoy my own control over these types of things. But, I’m always a sucker for real time savings.
Calcish is a universal tool for macOS that allows you to quickly do calculations, run code, and chat with local or remote AI easily using the notebook interface. Simple and pretty interface.
Another programmable chatbot? Sure, why not:
Chatwith is a customizable ChatGPT AI chatbot. It can be trained using your website content and files. The design enables it to instantly answer questions and resolve customer support queries using AI. Moreover, it integrates with over 6000 apps, with no coding required.
Doesn’t sound terrible.
Have a great day friends!
