⏳ A next-generation speech generator has emerged — Dessa.

Jack Dorsey’s company Block, founded by one of the creators of Twitter (X), has developed the world's first model trained exclusively on real human conversations by listening, without using any text.

It is currently the AI model with the most realistic speech.

Dessa can listen and speak simultaneously, laugh in the middle of a sentence, gasp in surprise, and carry on conversations while interpreting vocal intonation. It can even recognize sarcasm.

The model can run locally on a laptop like a MacBook Pro. However, it is currently available only in a limited preview for researchers.

In the first video, Dessa has a conversation with ChatGPT — and the difference in how they sound is immediately noticeable.

#️⃣ Scientists have managed to rejuvenate human cells by as much as 60 years.

Cells from an 80-year-old person were reprogrammed into stem cells, effectively returning them to a younger state comparable to the cells of a 20-year-old.

Researchers are now investigating whether this technology could be used for tissue regeneration, slowing down aging, and extending human lifespan.

For now, the experiment involves only individual cells, not rejuvenating an entire human being.
