Meta just launched Superintelligence Labs - and they're throwing around $100 million signing bonuses like Monopoly money to poach the best AI talent from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Zuckerberg introduced the new division to employees this week with 11 heavy-hitting new hires, and one of them has a very familiar South African connection. 🇿🇦

Enter Johan Schalkwyk, a South African tech legend who's joining Meta to lead their voice efforts. Johan was a key contributor to Sesame, arguably the most human-like voice agent we've ever encountered. Now he's bringing that magic to Meta with a mission to deliver “natural conversational interfaces” to billions of users worldwide.

If Meta’s new voice agent is nearly as good as the Sesame bot, we’re SUPER excited.

Before this week, we'd never heard of Suno AI or The Velvet Sundown. Now we can't stop listening to their tracks, and frankly, that's the scary part.

Suno AI is a platform that generates realistic-sounding music, and whether The Velvet Sundown was an experiment, art project, or straight-up business idea, we honestly don't know. What we do know: their music is genuinely vibey - like, add-it-to-your-playlist-and-forget-it's-AI vibey. The Velvet Sundown racked up over 1,000,000 monthly listeners before Rolling Stone exposed them as an "art hoax".

The kicker? They initially denied the AI claims on social media, calling critics "lazy" - peak trolling energy. Reddit users and Deezer flagged something fishy, but Spotify just shrugged and let the tracks spread across 30+ playlists.

Go and have a listen to their music. It's scary good for AI-generated content, and that's exactly the point. We're officially at the stage where AI can create bangers that fool half a million people. The future of music just got very, very interesting.

Imagine your computer's operating system was able to learn how you do your work: which apps you use, how you send emails and when you perform certain tasks.

After 3 years in stealth mode, Warmwind OS just launched with a bold claim: they've built the first AI-native operating system. Instead of juggling ChatGPT, Notion, Midjourney, and 37 browser tabs, one AI handles everything while you sleep.

It's essentially a custom Linux OS with its own GUI that streams to your browser. The AI can execute complex, long-term workflows across all your apps - like having JARVIS without the billion-dollar lab (or the Iron Man suit, sadly).

Warmwind promises to transform AI into useful agents that can do mundane work on our behalf - a promise that gets us excited. Let's see if they can deliver…

In this section, we aim to spotlight an incredible AI tool or use case and guide you on how you can try it.

This week’s challenge: Play with Perplexity’s travel planner

What is Perplexity? Think ChatGPT's cousin who actually knows what's happening right now. Unlike regular chatbots that work from outdated training data, Perplexity is a reasoning model, searching the internet in real time and giving you relevant, up-to-date answers with actual links to back it up.

It's EuroSummer and your Instagram feed is exploding with envy-inducing stories of people living their best life in Italy (sorry 🫶). Time to stop doom-scrolling and start planning. Perplexity can help turn your Tuscan dreams into travel plans (it can even search for discount codes on flight bookings). 🏖️

Here's how to use it like a travel pro:

AI is full of jargon, and we’re here to decode it. Each week, we’ll give you a plain-English definition of a buzzy term you’ve probably seen (but never fully understood).

In this NEW section, we aim to spotlight something weird & wonderful in the world of AI.

This week: Meta's AI Glasses are quietly becoming the AI wearable that actually works

While everyone's been obsessing over Apple Vision Pro and other flashy headsets, Meta's Ray-Ban AI Glasses have been doing something remarkable: people actually want to wear them. They look like normal sunglasses, work like magic, and don't scream "I'm a tech bro" from across the room.

You can ask questions while walking ("Hey Meta, what's that building?"), take photos with voice commands when your hands are full, and even get real-time translations during conversations. The AI assistant feels natural - like having a really smart friend who happens to live in your sunglasses.

Not a fan of Ray-Ban designs? Don’t worry - Oakley also dropped theirs, and it’s perfect for athletes.

Anton recently tried them on in Florence (thanks, Perplexity! 🇮🇹) and we think they’re very, very cool.

Thanks for reading TomorrowToday! We’d love to hear from you:

➡️ What would you like us to cover next?
➡️ Have a tool or topic we should feature?

We’re building this with (and for) you. 🚀
See you next Tuesday 👋
