My Thoughts Exactly
I've been using WisprFlow on my Mac and iPhone for about two months now. It's simply the best dictation software available right now. I'll give this “Google AI Edge Eloquent” app a try, but if it can't also work on the Mac, I'm not sure it can make me switch.
Once again for the people in the back, I'm in favor of this. We will know tomorrow whether this passes or not. “The simple reality is that Massachusetts must do more to ensure that our laws keep pace with modern challenges," lawmakers said, "especially when it comes to protecting our children, and to setting students up for success in the classroom and beyond.”

The focus of this piece is a roughly 70-page set of secret memos compiled by former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever in fall 2023. Seriously, where have all the good leaders gone?
