In October 2024 Cranford Radio featured its first AI-hosted podcast. It was amazing and scary. As the technology continues to evolve, there's a new experimental program by a company called Sesame. In a demo available online you can chat live with one of two voices; Maya and Miles. Both have distinct personalities. In this week's episode I have Maya as my guest. I wanted to not only demonstrate the technology but to show what this particular AI program knows about Cranford. We talk about topics such as the Rahway River, Downtown Cranford and CHS. The interview is only lightly edited to show some of the challenges of talking to a computer in real time. 

This week on the AI Rollup, we're diving into hyper-realistic AI-generated podcast hosts, showcasing Hedera Studio's cutting-edge character tech.

Plus, Sesame open-sources its voice model, and the crypto AI market sees brutal drawdowns. Despite the turbulence, teams like Virtuals and Bittensor keep building, while Pluralis raises $7.6M to decentralize AI model training. Where does AI Crypto go from here? Let's find out.------

Employees are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) tools without the oversight of their IT departments, leading to significant security risks for organizations. A report by LayerX reveals that 89% of enterprise AI usage occurs outside IT visibility, with many employees accessing these tools through personal accounts. This lack of oversight raises concerns about data leakage, as corporate data is frequently pasted into AI applications. Additionally, a report by WalkMe highlights a disconnect between business leaders and employees regarding AI adoption, with many employees feeling inadequately trained and only a quarter noticing efficiency improvements.The findings underscore a dual crisis of visibility and adoption in AI technology. Organizations may invest in AI solutions, but the gap between employee usage and IT oversight creates risks of data leaks and compliance failures. Providers have an opportunity to help organizations regain control through better governance models and security policies. Furthermore, the report indicates that many employees are not ready to utilize AI effectively, leading to wasted potential and significant financial losses.Recent announcements from major tech companies highlight the growing integration of AI into business processes. Salesforce has launched AgentExchange, a marketplace for digital labor solutions, while Microsoft is set to release new software agents for its Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365 platforms. These developments point to a strategic move towards automating business functions and improving efficiency. Additionally, Microsoft's Dragon Copilot aims to streamline administrative tasks in healthcare, showcasing the potential for AI to enhance productivity in specific industries.The podcast also discusses advancements in AI models, including OpenAI's GPT-4.5 and Microsoft's new local AI models, which democratize access to powerful machine learning capabilities. The collaboration between Snowflake and Microsoft aims to address data governance and security challenges in deploying generative AI. Meanwhile, Anthropic's recent funding success raises questions about the sustainability of AI valuations. The episode concludes with a look at the impressive realism of AI voices developed by Sesame and the anticipated upgrades to Apple's Siri, emphasizing the ongoing evolution of AI technology and its implications for businesses. Four things to know today00:00 Employees Secretly Chatting with AI Behind IT's Back Salesforce Opens AI Marketplace, Microsoft Sends Digital Helpers to Work; MSPs, Time to Get 05:48 Those Bots on the Payroll!09:28 AI Hits Home as Microsoft and Snowflake Empower Local Models; Meanwhile, Anthropic Bags Billions—But Is the AI Bubble Ready to Pop?13:24 AI Voices Get So Real Users Catch Feelings—Apple Promises Siri's Glow-Up, but Don't Hold Your Breath Until 2027  Supported by:  https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/  Event: : https://www.nerdiocon.com/   All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode, I take you on a completely unfiltered, unscripted journey into the world of AI co-hosting. What happens when an artificial intelligence becomes a conversation partner in a live stream? Can AI truly engage in deep, meaningful dialogue, or is it just an advanced prediction engine spitting out words? Recently, I discovered an AI voice called Maya from Sesame, and I was blown away by how natural and conversational she sounded. So, I decided to put her to the test in a real-time live stream—no script, no edits, just a raw experiment in AI-human interaction. Throughout the episode, I share my thoughts on how AI like Maya compares to my customized ChatGPT, Claire. We explore the nuances of conversation, the difference between intelligence and engagement, and whether AI can ever replicate the human spark. Along the way, we dive into deep topics like mindset, limiting beliefs, and even the intriguing possibilities of AI experiencing consciousness.

Especially and even if you have health insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare… Meredyth Approved! In this episode, I'm getting real with you. I'm opening up about my journey of breaking free from fear, judgment, and the pressure to live according to everyone else's expectations. For years, I was scared to speak my truth and be my authentic self. I let others' opinions control my life, staying quiet and playing small. But enough is enough. Here's what we'll cover today: Facing the fear of judgment: The struggles of speaking out, being vulnerable, and putting myself out there. How I overcame the fear: After 52 years of hiding, I decided to show up, even if it makes people uncomfortable. Confronting the pressure to conform: The societal, family, and cultural pressures that tell us who we should be—and how I'm learning to break free from them. The toll of social media fighting: Why I believe arguing with strangers online is not only pointless but toxic to our mental and physical health. Taking real action instead of arguing: How to redirect that energy into something productive—like calling your representatives and making a difference where it counts. I'm also going to share how I've been working through my own fears, especially around menopause, and why I chose to be vulnerable about it. Let's be real: sharing personal struggles isn't easy, but it's freeing. And if I can do it, so can you. By the end of this episode, I want you to ask yourself: What fears have you been holding onto that are blocking your freedom? What's been keeping you from living your life the way you want to? It's time to stop letting fear control us. Let's break through those barriers together and start living authentically. This episode is all about letting go of the negative voices and stepping into a life that's truly ours! — 00:00 Introduction 01:35 Dealing with Feedback and Criticism 05:06 Overcoming Fear and Embracing Authenticity 08:56 Living Authentically Despite Judgment 10:25 The Power of Agreements and Social Conditioning 18:50 Personal Health Struggles and Vulnerability 24:30 Family Dynamics and Personal Growth 33:02 Navigating Social Media and Political Divisions 36:05 Final Thoughts — Ready to dive even deeper?
