Of course that’s your contention. You just heard about DeepSeek two days ago. Just got done watching some 40-minute deep dive—Deirdre Bosa, probably. You’re going to be talking about how this complicates things for the hyperscalers and how NVIDIA stock traded down 15%.

Last month, I had plans to start a community for Amsterdam makers/builders/doers in tech. It turned out @IronBrands16 had done all the heavy lifting, and an awesome community with great vibes already existed!🥳 Looking forward to the next edition of Internet Friends on 31st Oct🙌

How to build the world's fastest voice AI bot: - Self-host speech-to-text, LLM inference, and text-to-speech all together in the same container/cluster. - Route audio over the internet using WebRTC and edge networking. - Configure timings for voice activity detection, phrase endpointing, and other parts of the pipeline to optimize for latency. (There are trade-offs to doing this!) Here's a LLama 3 voice bot that has voice-to-voice response times of ~500ms. We used @DeepgramAI's STT and TTS for this bot, and everything is hosted on @cerebriumai's serverless GPU infrastructure.

The 20th edition of Legal Tech Trends is out now! In this edition, I catch up with @AlexHezzle to discuss and challenge Legal Tech Trends predictions and round up the most interesting recent developments in LegalTech legaltechtrends.substack.com…

Podcasters - what if I told you could offer your pod to any listener around the world, in their own local language but still keep it in your own voice? That’s the pilot we’re launching @Spotify! It’s called Voice Translation and using AI, translates podcasts episodes into alternate languages, all in the podcaster’s voice. It’s pretty insane. Take a look and let me know what you think! spoti.fi/VoiceTranslation

every crypto company's pitch deck rn:

“The key to automation is the existence of a standardized product” - Marc Levinson, The Box Although referring to shipping containers and logistics, the sentiment is also relevant to legal. Whether that be document automation, workflow automation, or any other application!

Harvey landing A&O and PWC as clients is even more impressive given they only have 12 employees! (And would have had fewer when they signed the deals a few months ago!)

US firm @ThompsonHine released its latest innovation report. One of innovations clients want most? “Reliable, detailed budgets and actual budget reports (weekly, monthly)” AI is cool, but dont neglect boring stuff like regular budget reporting! legaltechtrends.substack.com…

"Some foods that we consider haute cuisine today, such as lobster, were so plentiful in the 1800s that they were fed to prisoners and orphans, and ground up into fertilizer; servants requested written assurance that they would not be fed lobster more than twice a week."
