OpenAI excitingly shows off its Voice Engine, giving a peek into the future of voice tech. But they're stopping short of releasing it fully, saying it could be used the wrong way.

Smart move, given all the fuss about fake videos messing up elections. It's like having a cool new car but not letting anyone drive it because they might crash.

But hey, I wonder, what kind of cool things could we do with this Voice Engine? And, do you think they'll ever trust us enough to hand over the keys to the car? Let's hope they make this tech better before it's used the wrong way.

Stability Audio 2.0: AI's Battle to Grasp Music

Exploring AI-made tunes, Stability AI's Stable Audio 2.0 is like a slightly better version of its old self. It offers three-minute songs, aiming for radio-friendly vibes, but they often miss the mark.

Even though it tries to add structure, some tracks end up sounding weird—like a mix of folk-pop and whale noises. While users can adjust their tunes, creating soulful melodies still seems out of reach for AI.

As technology keeps trying, the search for heartfelt music continues, but it's not quite there yet.

Taiwan Tremors Shake Up Tech Chip Scene

Big quake in Taiwan shakes up chip-making. Could slow down making stuff for phones and AI.

TSMC, a big chip company, had to stop work. Chips needed for fancy tech like phones and smart cars might be delayed. Shows how Taiwan being main chip maker can be risky.

Earthquakes and politics can cause problems. Tech companies might need to spread out where they make chips to avoid this

Musk Supercharges AI Chat with Grok 1.5 Update

Musk boosts AI chatter with Grok-1.5 upgrade, teasing smarter Grok 2. As xAI enters chatbot arena, Grok 1.5 flaunts sharper smarts and mega memory.

Musk's social post confirms the buzz. With Grok 2 on horizon, Musk aims to outshine rivals. Legal tiffs with OpenAI add spice.

Musk's AI crusade fuels the epic showdown for chatbot glory, keeping tech tongues wagging and fingers typing. 

Samsung Introduces Smart Home Appliances with AI Technology

Samsung introduced its latest lineup of AI-powered home appliances at the Welcome to Bespoke AI event across Seoul, Paris, and New York City.

The event showcased products featuring enhanced connectivity and AI capabilities, including smart refrigerators, robot vacuum cleaners, and more. These appliances boast features like AI vision in refrigerators, AI Home control panels, and Mobile Smart Connect for seamless integration with smartphones.

Samsung aims to revolutionize home living with these innovative and connected appliances, offering convenience and efficiency to users worldwide.

Stability AI: Big Money Troubles Ahead

Stability AI hit a rough patch, unable to foot the bill for their rented cloud. Despite hefty investments in infrastructure, their returns fell short, leaving them deep in debt to various providers.

Even Intel's support couldn't bail them out entirely. Now, with new leadership stepping in and legal battles looming, the company's future hangs in the balance. It's a cautionary tale highlighting the risks of high expenses and low revenues in the tech world.

Whether Stability AI can weather this storm remains to be seen, but their struggles underscore the importance of financial planning and sustainable growth strategies in the fiercely competitive landscape of artificial intelligence.

Best Prompt of the Week 🎨

Today's Goal: Try new things 🧪

Acting as an Excel Sheet

Prompt: I want you to act as a text based excel. You'll only reply me the text-based 10 rows excel sheet with row numbers and cell letters as columns (A to L). First column header should be empty to reference row number. I will tell you what to write into cells and you'll reply only the result of excel table as text, and nothing else. Do not write explanations. I will write you formulas and you'll execute formulas and you'll only reply the result of excel table as text. First, reply me the empty sheet.
