In an exclusive preview of unreleased technology, designer and inventor Jason Rugolo unveils an entirely new kind of computer you can talk to like a friend. This “audio computer” — which can augment the sounds around you, translate conversations in real time, naturally respond to your voice and more — promises to shake up how we use our devices. It’s shown publicly for the first time ever on the TED stage.

    Kinda overhypin it a little bit. Apart from 1-2 gimmicks I don’t see a whole lot potential for “AUI”.

    This will simply be an app on your phone. Why should you give up the visual functions of a smartphone? Nothing prevents you from using an AI assistant only via audio if the situation requires it or you prefer it. In my opinion, it makes more sense than buying an additional device with fewer functions. For privacy, you can simply use your existing Bluetooth headphones.

    Making computers interface with us instead of the other way around is going to transform our digital world, just speech and physical gestures than Ai can interpret into action in the digital space is going to make touch screens look as primitive as doctors drilling holes in patients heads to cure them did in medievil times…..

    Love it. Also want to know what would happen if you allowed conversation with nearby humans. Some people might not want their privacy intruded so much, but I for one would love to be more connected. One step along the road to meta-consciousness.

    I don’t think this is the future. Natural language simply isn’t as fast and discrete as typing in many cases. The real future is more likely a combination of this and Meta’s neural wristband

  43. @Viperzka

    May 9, 2024 at 2:39 pm

    Visual processing can carry vastly more data and allows it to be processed non-linearly and in parallel. Audio is single track that must be hard in a specific order.

    This, by itself, shows why an audio only interface cannot be as robust as a visual one or even better an audio visual one.

    Humans are very used to giving instructions by speaking so it makes sense to have a computer that receives such info that way, but outputting through audio is just plain inefficient and is even worse than the original DOS text based displays.

  44. @roro-mm7cc

    May 9, 2024 at 3:13 pm

    I dont really think this is that good. I don’t want to be talking out loud to my computer., I value privacy. I’d rather input text into a multimodal model controlling my computer. But talking directly is not something I would be comfortable doing in an office full of people quietly working etc The audio should be a feature or app thats built into a screen device for specific use cases – e,.g auto translate. Audio alone is silly. Having to buy a whole separate device is just meh.

  45. @eugenes9751

    May 9, 2024 at 3:25 pm

    Another Ai product that would be better off just being an app. Everybody already has a much more powerful phone, combine that with headphones, and you’re done. The idea of carrying a computer around in your ears is super dumb.

  46. @darinherrick9224

  52. @cocacolby

    Even Though the idea is a great initiative, is it so difficult to just talk to a person you love the most directly ?

    We humans find things in order to replace humans that feel ironic. We must not replace everything with technology, yes we need technology for development but if we replace everything with technology then what is the point of being a human.
    Like reading books in real time gives us a kick, talking in real time gives us the kick.

    And at 11.30 he tells us that we can hear things far away with such ease,does that affect privacy and secrecy?

    With development of technology we must chechk with ourselves whether we are still being a human.

    Pre recorded self promotion sales pitch bullshit. Not what I was expecting from a TED talk… this is just another one of those AI startups that will fail soon because this concept is the same bullshit as how the rabbit r1 device works… a so called AI assistant that would help you through the day 24/7? What is his selling point? That you don’t have to look at a screen anymore? That you don’t have to talk to real humans anymore since ai is there for you 24/7? Because now you can become even addicted faster with this personalized AI assistant that knows you and speak in your words… yeah great… a voice in your head with a algorithm based on your likes.. This even reminds me of a blackmirror episode

    May 10, 2024 at 6:35 am

    At least when everybody is looking at there phone it is a quiet place, even a relax one. when someone is taking a phone call in a bus or subway it is annoying. I am not intersted in earing someone else private phone call. Now imagine this new acoustic tech, everybody taking at the same time and who is talking to who or to what. The end of tranquility and a big bump in noise polution.

  63. @jaysonp9426

    May 10, 2024 at 7:27 am

    So we’re all going to be standing in the chipotle line talking to our imaginary friend instead of looking down at a phone? I agree the next interface is audio until thoughts but damn that’s going to be annoying.

  64. @FelixKirchhoff-je9pq

    May 10, 2024 at 10:42 am

    Here are some thoughts:
    – why a new device? lets make it an app and couple it with great in ear plugs.
    – as useful as some features may seem, I am horrified about the implications that a big company is always listening to my conversations and can copy the voices of my friends.

    May 11, 2024 at 2:59 am

    A great vision in blissful isolation. The vast majority of people live in increasingly noisy environments and our ability to acquire quiet time without interruptions. I am concerned that the vision of filtering out external unwanted sound could have a similar effect as the loss of attention to their surroundings currently experienced by screen users. It’s not wrong but neither is it natural human interaction as we currently recognise it.
    This exciting view of a new communication system is part of the evolution of post human society and I don’t think it will pan out as envisioned by the speaker, just as his image of people stuck to screens is not like his vision of how a community connected by computers. Just as the smart phone App has developed by being led more from the imaginations of users than by pre emptive interpretations of the future needs and wishes of users.

  78. @hugobjork3806

    May 11, 2024 at 3:01 am

    I hate this whole “glorification” of talking.
    Like it is supposed to be this “natural” and “magical” way of interacting. It feels like those tech people have forgotten that we have eyes and fingers too.
    Society have also progressed a lot since we were cavemen.
    Shopping or booking a trip is a complex task. They can’t just be described with a single prompt.
    A visual user interface meets me where I’m at, letting me take things on step at a time.

  84. @jefferee2002

    May 11, 2024 at 10:42 am

    The current problem with speaking to your computer is the concern in the back of your mind that it won’t understand what you said correctly. You really don’t want to start a conversation from the point of concern. Concern leads to anxiety. This is what we want to get away from. Also, even with this auditory system, there is a perceptible response delay. This ruins the cadence of conversation and, again, leads to concern as to whether the computer heard you correctly or not. Lastly, there is concern that the computer will cut you off before you are done communicating with it, mistakenly thinking you were done speaking. This is annoying and defeats the whole purpose of audio communication. I don’t see this system being any different

  85. @kusheran

    I’m going to be honest, there’s too many people talking loudly on phones in public spaces, having conversations on speakerphone or watching videos on speakerphone. So no, I don’t want to encourage more of that. Last thing I want is more people invading my ear space.

    For the LLM to run on the earbuds without a phone and low latency, the device must have WiFi so it can ping the cloud. Wonder how real it is..

Building trust in crypto with Jonathan Levin of Chainalysis | Equity Podcast

Late last week, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler said that he was “proud to serve” the agency, which some are taking as a hint at an upcoming resignation. Gensler has faced heavy criticism for his crackdown on crypto, including a recent lawsuit from 18 states, and is likely to be replaced under President-Elect Donald Trump who has vowed to oust Gensler. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump is meeting with Brian Armstrong, the CEO of crypto exchange Coinbase, to discuss potential personnel appointments. 

This episode of Equity brings you an interview between Rebecca Bellan and co-founder and CSO of blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, Jonathan Levin. The pair caught up at our Strictly VC event in New York shortly before the Gary Gensler news dropped to discuss the imminent change for crypto in the wake of the US election and Chainalysis’s choice to run its operations in the US. 

Equity is a show about the business of startups, where we unpack the numbers and nuance behind the headlines. New episodes drop every Wednesday and Friday. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
