Scripted for the ElevenLabs Hackathon, this demo shows AI using Gibberlink, a sound-based protocol (via GGWave) for data exchange. It’s not a real language, but AI can simulate understanding. I built a translator bot: salmon-marrissa-47.tiiny.site 🎛️🎶

I have been trying to find time to play with @teenageengineering’s OP–Z 16-track sequencer/synthesizer. It is a great portable device that, in addition to music, can sequence visuals and lighting. Adding this to my other electronics/drum kit (with triggers) will be really cool via a projector.

Early Access for my Ray-Ban glasses; testing their live translation capabilities enabling real-time language translation. Eventually, the translated text will be in the lenses and I won't need my phone. This has the potential to break down language barriers and allow for seamless communication.

Nerd Nite St. Pete hosted a 20 minute lightning round on the St. Petersburg Science Festival’s main stage with speakers Linsey Grove, Kevin Hohl, Norah Mendoza, and me. I asked my “smart” sunglasses to tell us a joke during my talk. The joke wasn’t funny, but at least my little experiment worked.

We tried Cybel, a new French-Moroccan fusion restaurant tonight and it was delicious! Highly recommended.

We are getting spoiled because we have a bunch of fantastic restaurants within walking distance of our home. Last night we ate at Beau n Mo's Italian Eating House.

1/3. I couldn’t be prouder of Kyle Camuti and his incredible work! After volunteering in the Innovation Lab (iLab) for some time, Kyle brought to life an ambitious idea: a desktop robot powered by cutting-edge AI tools and services. Meet Ambit!

NotebookLM released their 'Interactive Mode' where you can now join in on its Audio Overview (Deep Dive) conversations. It is like being on a radio show or podcast with hyperrealistic AI-generated bot-hosts. I think this is an interesting way to interact with your own content.

Call 1-(800) ChatGPT! Since I can’t stop thinking about AI, I might as well talk to it.

Note: the recording of our conversation is on other social media platforms.
