I led engineering at Google DeepMind. Today, I'm proud to introduce Fo to give personal AI something no lab ever has... Humans. Other personal AI's pretend AI can do everything. Fo employs humans to do tasks that AI cannot. - 2x better at real-world task completion (beats other agents by 69%) - 94% trust rate (4x less likely to leak private info vs Muse, Instinct) Sign up for free: wajo.ai/join-wajo

having briefly worked on generating realistic human laughter... can confirm that this sounds good.
Truly blown away by the results from Eleven v4. This model has a new architecture that unlocks more realistic and controllable speech. You can now direct the performance of the character AND the soundscape around them. And the voice effects (like "cheap microphone") are 👌

Introducing Eleven v4 and Eleven v4 Turbo, our fastest and most emotive voice models yet. Ranked #1 by Artificial Analysis.

NEW from me: Over the last four years, America has lost more than 200k jobs in creative fields like publishing, film, TV, or graphic design. It's the worst stretch for arts jobs outside of major recessions. How much is AI to blame? And can the arts' business model survive?🧵

How do we end AI slop? To fix it, you gotta measure it first. Thanks for having me @swyx @aiDotEngineer! youtube.com/watch?v=sDMGWK4w…

A lot of people are not prepared for the fact that today’s models are the worst they will ever be.

Canada’s new National AI Literacy Initiative (from @ISED_CA and @AmiiThinks announced by Minister @EvanLSolomon and the Federal Government yesterday) is a huge step forward. But education alone won’t close our adoption gap. Real trust in AI is built on finding value. korymathewson.com/why-litera…

How can we reconstruct a memory that was never filmed? Our team paired restored archival photos with pose control models to capture the mannerisms and micro-expressions of Burt and Ethelle. This helped bring the day they first met to life for Love, Rendered, a new documentary in collaboration with @PrimordialSoup_ and @StorySyndicate_. Watch the full film on YouTube → goo.gle/3V8m94m

You are the best Dani.
Proud to share that I've been recognized as one of the 35 Innovators under 35 by MIT Technology Review! Developing world models has been an incredible journey over the past 8 years, both training the world models and leveraging them for imagination training and motor control 🌎

canadian tech playbook has suffered at late-stage capital, we innovate, build talent, find early traction then export equity. @rbcx launching a 1.4B growth fund to keep startups grounded in canada is a massive step lets see it deploy!

Canada pioneered modern AI, yet we rank 44th out of 47 in AI literacy. We built the engine, then let the car drive away. Big move today by the @EvanLSolomon and the Canadian government launching free national AI training following @AmiiThinks' long-standing leadership. The real barrier was never capability, it was risk-aversion, intimidation, workplace stigma and so much more. Giving everyone free, trusted access to learn is how we enable curiosity and augmentation, and permission to experiment, grow, and solve real-world problems. This is how we close the adoption gap. Why this matters and what comes next: korymathewson.com/why-dont-c…

Homework is like lifting weights for your brain. If a machine lifts for you, the bar moves but you don’t get stronger. Kids using AI got 18% better homework marks, but scored 20% lower on tests. Handing in the right answer isn't the same as knowing it. How do we mitigate these effects?
