OpenAI & Microsoft Building “Stargate“
🚨 OpenAI and Microsoft are teaming up to build a $100B supercomputer facility!
They’re calling it Stargate, and it's part of a massive 5-phase project, set to be the playground for future brainiac AIs like ChatGPT's next-gen cousins. 🤖
The 4th phase?
A supercomputer that's smaller than Stargate. This beast, due by 2026, might even power OpenAI's fancy voice recognition or bring texts to life in videos. 📸
As AI gets fancier the cloud's going to get pricier. So, don't drop your jaw if soon there's talk of a data center costing more than $100B. 💸
Clone Your Voice With OpenAI (in 15 seconds)
☕️ Hey, did you catch the latest scoop on OpenAI?
They're rolling out this new toy called Voice Engine.
Picture this: you give it a 15 second soundbite of anyone's voice, and voilà, it whips up a clone that sounds super real and even packs some emotion. 🗣️
But, imagine the mess if the bad guys get their hands on it for deepfake mischief, right? That's why OpenAI is treading lightly, only letting a few lucky ducks test it out for now. 🦹
They're all about balancing the cool with the careful.
📖 No word yet on when Voice Engine will hit the shelves for real, but the buzz is it'll be a steal. We're talking Stephen King novel-length text for a few bucks. Talk about shaking up the audiobook game!
Space & Tech
NASA To Create “Lunar Time System”
🚀 NASA has been assigned a unique task by the White House: create a timekeeping system for the moon, called Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC), with a 2026 deadline.
🌚 This is essential because time behaves differently on the moon due to its weaker gravity, leading to a faster progression of time compared to Earth.
This lunar clockwork is vital for the Artemis Program, which aims to return astronauts to the moon and establish a permanent base, serving as a launchpad for Mars missions. ☄️
Effective lunar timekeeping is key for everything from communication to navigation, and syncing with Earth's time. ⌚️
That's a cool task isn't it?!
What Are Apple’s Spatial Personas?
🍎 Apple's new Spatial Personas, designed for Vision Pro headsets with visionOS 1.1 or later, offer a more life-like and collaborative experience in virtual settings.
🕶️ They now integrate with FaceTime and SharePlay, allowing users to virtually place their Persona in the room for a more immersive experience, complete with spatial audio.
This technology enhances remote collaborations, resembling a group gathered around a conference table, but in the comfort of your home. 🏠️
