Spotify may use AI to make host-read podcast ads that sound like real people | TechCrunch
Spotify may use AI to make host-read podcast ads that sound like real people With Spotify’s AI DJ, the company trained an AI on a real person’s voice — that of its head of Cultural Partnerships and podcast host, Xavier “X” Jernigan. Now the streamer may turn that same technology to advertising, it seems. According to statements made by The Ringer founder Bill Simmons, the streaming service is deve
Joi Ito resigns as MIT Media Lab head in wake of Jeffrey Epstein reporting | TechCrunch
Joi Ito resigns as MIT Media Lab head in wake of Jeffrey Epstein reporting Joichi Ito, the embattled director of the M.I.T. Media Lab, has stepped down according to a statement by MIT’s president, L. Rafael Reif. The news was first reported by The New York Times, which had received a copy of an email sent by Ito to university provost Martin A. Schmidt. “After giving the matter a great deal of thou
Redis Labs changes its open-source license -- again | TechCrunch
Redis Labs, fresh off its latest funding round, today announced a change to how it licenses its Redis Modules. This may not sound like a big deal, but in the world of open-source projects, licensing is currently a big issue. That’s because organizations like Redis, MongoDB, Confluent and others have recently introduced new licenses that make it harder for their competitors to take their products a
Pretend to be productive by reading TechCrunch in your terminal window – TechCrunch
Developers and hipsters, it’s time to join together and ditch your web browser to read this article. Kosuke Yoshimura developed a fun little project and shared it on Product Hunt today. TechCrunch-CLI is a command line interface that lets you read TechCrunch articles in text mode. As my colleague Devin Coldewey suggested, TextCrunch would also be a good alternative name for this project. If you wa
Facebook Shutters Its Parse Developer Platform | TechCrunch
Here’s a surprise: Facebook is closing its Parse developer platform. After acquiring the service, which at the time mostly focused on mobile developers, for a reported $85 million in 2013, Facebook turned Parse into one of its key developer services. Parse will still operate until January 28, 2017, so developers have time to move their products over to other platforms. That will still be quite a h
Surprise, no one buys things via Alexa | TechCrunch
Some numbers published in a report from The Information reveal that very few owners of Alexa-powered devices use them for shopping. Of about 50 million Alexa users, only about 100,000 reportedly bought something via voice interface more than once. It’s not exactly surprising, but it may still harm the narrative of conversational commerce that Amazon and others are trying to advance. The Amazon Ech
A closer look at Google Duplex | TechCrunch
Google’s appointment booking AI wowed the crowd and raised concern at I/O A month and change after I/O, Google convenes a meeting of a few small groups of journalists at an upscale Thai restaurant in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. It’s an unusual locale for one of the world’s largest companies. The tables are cleared out to make room for nine chairs, in three rows of three, facing a large, brightly
How Instagram's algorithm works | TechCrunch
Instagram users were missing 70 percent of all posts and 50 percent of their friends’ posts before the app ditched the reverse chronological feed for an algorithm in July 2016. Despite backlash about confusing ordering, Instagram now says relevancy sorting has led to its 800 million-plus users seeing 90 percent of their friends’ posts and spending more time on the app. Yet Instagram has never expl
Morgan Stanley's March Internet Trends Report: Social Applications Dominating | TechCrunch
Morgan Stanley’s Internet Trends report from last month takes a big turn from previous reports – the focus is nearly 100% on social applications and how they are taking over the Internet (Yahoo apparently read it). Key takeaways: YouTube + Facebook page views > Google or Yahoo page views (and may be bigger than both combined) 6/10 top internet sites are social (youtube, live.com, facebook, hi5, wi
Google-led Kubeflow, machine learning for Kubernetes, begins to take shape | TechCrunch
AI Google-led Kubeflow, machine learning for Kubernetes, begins to take shape Ever since Google created Kubernetes as an open source container orchestration tool, it has seen it blossom in ways it might never have imagined. As the project gains in popularity, we are seeing many adjunct programs develop. Today, Google announced the release of version 0.1 of the Kubeflow open source tool, which is d
GitLab gets a native integration with Google's Kubernetes Engine | TechCrunch
GitLab gets a native integration with Google’s Kubernetes Engine GitLab, one of the most popular self-hosted Git services, has been on a bit of a roll lately. Barely two weeks after launching its integration with GitHub, the company today announced that developers on its platform can now automatically spin up a cluster on Google’s Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and deploy their applications to it with ju
Who's a good AI? Dog-based data creates a canine machine learning system | TechCrunch
Who’s a good AI? Dog-based data creates a canine machine learning system We’ve trained machine learning systems to identify objects, navigate streets and recognize facial expressions, but as difficult as they may be, they don’t even touch the level of sophistication required to simulate, for example, a dog. Well, this project aims to do just that — in a very limited way, of course. By observing th
Comet.ml wants to do for machine learning what GitHub did for code | TechCrunch
Comet.ml wants to do for machine learning what GitHub did for code Comet.ml allows data scientists and developers to easily monitor, compare and optimize their machine learning models. The New York-based company is launching its product today, after completing the TechStars-powered Amazon Alexa Accelerator program and raising a $2.3 million seed round led by Trilogy Equity partners, together with
Heptio launches its Kubernetes 'un-distribution' | TechCrunch
Heptio holds a special place in the Kubernetes startup ecosystem. Its co-founders, Craig McLuckie and Joe Beda, are, after all, also two of the co-founders of the Kubernetes project (together with Brendan Burns), which launched inside of Google. Heptio also raised $8.5 million when it launched in 2016 (and another $25 million last year), but it was never quite clear what the company’s actual busin
Google's chatbot analytics platform Chatbase launches to public | TechCrunch
At Google I/O this year, Google quietly introduced a new chatbot analytics platform called Chatbase, a project developed within the company’s internal R&D incubator, Area 120. Today, that platform is being publicly launched to all, after testing with hundreds of early adopters including Ticketmaster, HBO, Keller Williams, Viber, and others.
