The one on AI boosting our understanding of how animals communicate reminds me of this machine learning research done years back on bats:

Looks like both Kevin James and Meta are making a comeback at the moment! Thanks for sharing this, Packy! Really excited to see how Meta will develop in the next months...

The translating of languages (human and animal alike) is for sure a reason for optimism! Thank you for sharing.

Nice use of Kevin James both times. Sam Altman seems to be everywhere and he'll be on my phone talking to me soon hopefully in the voice of Scarlett Johansson. I just hope Alan Watts doesn't steal her away from me. Reading this email heading into the weekend always gets me in a positive mood. It makes me optimistic enough to make me believe the Eagles can win, which is rare for a birds fan (fingers, legs, and eyes crossed). Thanks for putting this out there!
