    The outfit choice here is awesome. It’s the “pick one of every style out of my wardrobe” fashion choice.

    We are most certainly at a dangerous intersection- it’s not just the algorithms yes, they are bad.

    I’ve experienced being bombarded with misogynistic content, racism, prejudice as unpleasant as that was.

    So, I had to willfully seek out more inclusive, non prejudiced, tolerant content and block out the awful content.

    But; no- it’s not just algorithms some content creators are willfully trying to cause problems for people or unsettle them that they have decided they want to hurt, be cruel, or intolerant towards.

    I remember seeing a clip many years ago of one of the people involved in the ‘the revolution will not be televised’ movement, he explained it was not about conflict, it was about it being a state of mind, choosing upon oneself right from wrong etc. I’m paraphrasing, but my point is unless people stop feeding the algorithm with anger and hatred, why would it change? It is on us to ‘be the change we want to see in the world’, now more than ever, with greater effect, simply by watching videos.

    Here’s a simple tip to get started, if you see anything with the word ‘shocking’ in it’s title or headline, ignore it. Please.

    I think it would be an absolute honour to steward TED, whatever this outcome, I, and I’m sure the millions of followers will be all in for it, we only get sense, reason and intelligent debate here, and that is a priceless commodity these days. Thank you Chris for enlightening so many of us to the true culture of humanity and the desire to learn from each other.

It seems like every big AI player is building a personal agent. Meta has Muse, OpenAI launched Dots, and a startup called Instinct recently raised $1 billion at a $10 billion valuation. But Eugenia Kuyda thinks the next generation of AI assistants needs to do more than book your restaurant reservations and find you hidden money in your Gmail.

Kuyda, who founded AI companion app Replika, has just launched Wabi, a personal AI agent that organizes your life into separate conversations, brings other people into the mix, and builds custom apps around what you’re trying to do. The idea is to make AI less of a solo productivity tool and more of a way to spend time with the people who matter to you.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan talks with Kuyda about why she thinks AI agents should bring people together instead of keeping them glued to a single chatbot, how Wabi plans to compete in a crowded and expensive market, and what it takes to get people comfortable giving an AI access to their email.
