⏳ 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.

#️⃣ 🇸🇦 EA is facing a severe crisis: Analyst Joost van Dreunen claims that following the deal, Electronic Arts has been saddled with $18 billion in debt, with annual debt servicing costs of approximately $1.8 billion, while the company's annual profit is around $1.5 billion.

According to him, the closure of BioWare, the cancellation of the new Mass Effect game, and a new The Sims project could be just the beginning — with more layoffs, studio closures, and game cancellations ahead.

The new owners reportedly intend to focus on sports games, live-service projects, and the Asian market, while established franchises such as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Dead Space, and Titanfall may only return if they are sold to other studios.

#️⃣ 🇯🇵 Scientists in Japan have found a way to make cancer cells destroy themselves. They developed a toxin that activates in the presence of carbon monoxide and selectively targets cancer cells without damaging healthy ones.

The research is still at the laboratory stage. The method's effectiveness and safety in humans have not yet been confirmed.

⏳ 🇸🇬 Scientists from Singapore have unveiled clothing with a touchscreen — allowing users to watch movies, TV shows, and scroll through images directly on their clothes.

The screen consists of 54 special fibers with LEDs. It has a resolution of 96×54 pixels and a refresh rate of 30 frames per second.

It can also run a calculator, measure body temperature, and enable voice control.

After 50 washes, the screen barely lost any brightness or image quality.

In the future, scientists promise to integrate AI into clothing, allowing users to communicate with it through their sleeves.
