Tomorrow never comes, but Mondays always do!

Welcome to the 1,185 new folks joining us from last Monday 🤯❤️.

Let's kick off the week.

🤌 Ben's Picks

• Storytimes - Create the perfect children's book with AI. I wanted to do this for my nephew and started plotting all the tools I’d need to actually train a model on his face, generate a reasonable storyline, generate good images, get an actual book made etc. I even spoke with someone last week as they had this same idea. But Storytimes just built the all-in-one tool for it! (link⁷³⁸)

• These AI-powered smart glasses will change the game for the deaf or hard of hearing. They provide real-time subtitles during conversations. (link³⁶⁵)

• Michelle trained an AI chatbot on their childhood journal entries - so that they could engage in real-time dialogue with their "inner child". (link²⁵⁵)

• Daniel Gross made a GPT-3 summariser that reads websites just like humans do. It scrolls pages and reads in visible text in chunks, which it then attempts to summarise. (link⁶⁷⁸)

🛠️ Cool Tools
