🎙️ Hume AI raises $50M and introduces Empathic Voice Interface.

Hume AI has successfully raised $50M in a Series B funding round to develop and release its innovative Empathic Voice Interface (EVI), offering a more natural and engaging conversational experience.

EVI leverages a unique empathic large language model (eLLM) for voice-to-voice interactions that are optimized for user satisfaction and understanding emotional cues to generate responses with natural speech patterns.

This advancement in AI aims to revolutionize user interaction with technology by providing human-like conversational capabilities. Interested users can explore EVI's features through a demo available at Hume AI's website.

Seriously, you need to give this a try. We’re often impressed by AI tech… but truly shocked? That’s rare—and Hume has certainly done that 👇️

Elton John’s $1.9 million Banksy sale reveals unexpected investment opportunity

Just last month, an iconic Banksy painting from the collection of Sir Elton John shattered expectations when it sold for a whopping $1.9 million at auction. But even more surprising is a group of investors also celebrating this sale: 61,000 everyday users of one investment platform. 

Why? Because that platform, called Masterworks, enables anyone to invest in shares of blue-chip paintings by artists like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso. This way, not only the music moguls and billionaires of the world can benefit from the art market.

In fact, each of Masterworks’ 21 exits have delivered a profit, with Masterworks investors realizing returns of 14.6%, 16.4%, and 17.8% and more.
