Hard to imagine this doesn’t become a norm for many when shopping given ubiquitous AI. Going to require some big adjustments in retailing.

(And as opposed to searching on Google, I just had to take a picture and o3 did the work, giving me personalized advice and telling me what sales to wait for)

That's going to be brutal for drivers. If I remember correctly, LH was complaining even for 24 races. Maybe efficient calendar could make 26 races possible.

The new voice model from ElevenLabs is interesting & surprising. I put it against one of the hardest pieces for reading aloud - the final verse of Eliot's Wasteland, which uses four languages, a nursery rhyme & abrupt changes in tone.

It required a few attempts to get, but this was pretty good.

Did Sainz let you pass HAM? 😜

Switch back now!
