The AI realm is getting a new dimension with Stability AI's Stable Video Diffusion, a ground-breaking module that can turn images into dynamic videos.

Yet, with its planned evolution and extension, the application scope ranges from versatile advertising to innovative educational tools.

Discord Mutely Pulls the Plug on AI Chatbot, Clyde

Discord is signing off Clyde, an AI chatbot born from experimentation earlier this year.

Able to flag cardiovascular risks in 20 seconds. Toku hopes to integrate this tool into routine eye exams, revolutionizing cardiovascular disease detection.

What I learned this week. I hope these spark some questions in your own business or careers:

When it comes to #innovation

• Established companies lack behind because when they come up with something new, managers scratch it off because it’s not as profitable as their main service.

• In addition, companies get user feedback from their existing user base when instead they should talk to those whose need might be served by their new innovation.

• Bezos aligns innovation and failure with incentives.

• He believes that many attempts will be failures but one or two that work out will cover the losses for the ones that didn’t work.

• This is how VC firms also perceive investments.

• Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcome.
