Replying to @TwinkBukowski
No one who lives in modern dense cities can write (or be creative in any sense whatsoever) at all.
Old metropolis had the density of what we now call small towns.
Old small towns were what we now call rural areas.
Modern big cities are closer to what we used to call prisons.

A sad fact for my big brain bros: the greater male variance hypothesis predicts that if a woman is your intellectual peer then she’s out of your league
They trained this only on human speech so it can do speech really well, but has no text capabilities. To get both at once, wouldn't you need to train on the thing that makes both speech and text?
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.
