Nobel Prize for the Grandfather of AI, Quickly Deploy Voice Apps, Replit's Story
Tools, news, and thoughts around the artificial intelligence world.
Morning y’all!
It’s humpday and we’re working through it, aren’t we? We’ll get there, I promise! Personally, I’m working on a few smaller side projects including using Cursor, Claude, and a few other tools to build some software and I’m crazy-impressed with how quickly you can put together lightweight prototypes!
What I’ve figured out so far is that you can get to 70 or 80% in the first few prompts but the last 20-30% takes a lot of effort. Is this still quicker than building them manually? No question. But, I am frustrated when I ask for a small change and it breaks the entire app. 😬
There’s a lot more work to be done.
OpenAI and Hearst are now partners for content and news.
Anthropic batches API calls, making things cheaper. This is good since I’ve been sending them a lot of requests and I’ve actually had to “wait” for my next query, even though I’m paying.
Measuring video quality is a thing. Open source.
AI voice apps deployed fast.
Playing games with a real-time coach “behind” you? Interesting.
The story of Replit, a $1b side project that got, well, big.
High quality tech documentation.
Explore and plan using AI. Good for brainstorming I suppose.
Artist appeals AI-generated art as art. There’s some money on the line, of course.
A 3D generation project raised $7m.
The Nobel prize was awarded to some AI folks, including the “Godfather” of AI.
Adobe and content authenticity. That’s an interesting word to use.
24/7 content engagement? Ewww.
Supernormal is a meetings app that takes notes, etc. I like the name but I still refuse to use a tool like this because they are invasive.
Gaming in a Minecraft world, powered by NVIDIA above.
And that’s it my friends! Have a great mid-week!
