AudioRAG is becoming real! Just built a demo with ColQwen-Omni that does semantic search on raw audio, no transcription needed.
What’s exciting: it skips transcription, making it faster and better at capturing emotion, ambient sound, and tone, surfacing results text search would miss.

Fascinating discussion in the FT btw @mmitchell.bsky.social and @melissahei.bsky.social about AGI: "AGI as a whole is just a super problematic concept that provides an air of objectivity and positivity, when, in fact, it’s opening the door for technologists to just do whatever they want."

Doomsday or normal technology?, asks @newyorker.com Part of the answer lies in open science:
“No one really knows for sure. That’s partly because A.I. is a fractious and changing field, in which opinions differ; partly because so much of the latest A.I. research is proprietary and unpublished (…)

China approaches AI "like electricity, not nuclear weapons" vs the US (per The Economist).
Key difference:
🇺🇸 Focus on building models
🇨🇳 Focus on practical applications
