Whoa, GitHub just redefined software engineering 🤯 

GitHub Copilot Workspace just dropped and now you can idea, code, live demo ALL in natural language.

Here's what you need to know (and how to sign up) 👇 

1/ Idea to specs 

Whether you’re addressing an Issue, iterating on a PR, or bootstrapping a project, Copilot Workspace helps you jumpstart every task by describing what you want in natural language. 

2/ Generate plan

Every step of the Workspace is designed to be edited, regenerated, or undone, which makes it easy to iterate towards the exact solution you want. You can even try different solutions in multiple tabs, and save them for later.

3/ Code and live demo

Once you’re happy with the code, you can validate it for correctness using an integrated terminal and secure port forwarding. If you need the toolbox of a full IDE, you can open a Codespace and step through your code using the tools you already know.

4/ Collaborate

When you’re ready to get feedback, you can instantly share a workspace with your team, and they can try out their own iterations. Copilot Workspace automatically versions the context and history of your changes, and can create a PR in a single-click.

The first ever super realistic AI-generated video with just one picture 🤯 

Microsoft Research announced VASA-1.  

It takes a single portrait photo and speech audio and produces a hyper-realistic talking face video with precise lip-audio sync, lifelike facial behavior, and naturalistic head movements generated in real time.

This is amazing, given that the AI-generated video looks very real (this is just getting started)!  

Of course, these examples will likely be cherry-picked, but this is still amazing.  

My favorite use-case for this tech is to revive old actors like Cary Grant in new movies with this tech :)

Or maybe in future, podcasts space can be disrupted?

OpenAI Sora is getting some serious competition coming ahead. What do you think?

My favorite example of shooting your shot:

Elon Musk cold-calling rocket expert Jim Cantrell to convince him to help him colonize Mars in 65 words (the pitch actually worked).

First successful surgery done using Apple Vision Pro 🤯 

For the first time in Brazil, a surgeon successfully used an Apple Vision Pro headset to optimize a surgical procedure.

This is just getting started!

Check out Reid Hoffman (founder @ LinkedIn) creates an AI-generated deepfake of self and interviews it.

We may not trust the internet in 1 or 2 years. 

AI and deepfakes are getting WAY better.

Hubspot is a gigantic business with $34 BILLION in market cap. 50X since their IPO years ago!

And guess what ?! Google might be looking to buy them 💵  💵 💵 

It is the most natural fit for both. And HubSpot's competitors should be sweating.

Here's why:

Google Ads generates $250 BILLION for Alphabet Inc. 🤯 

But they don't make any revenue after lead gen.

Because while AdWords is the kingpin platform of online marketing, Google doesn't have any forward integration after lead gen.

They don't have a commerce business and no enterprise offering to integrate with.

Until now.

If Google buys Hubspot, it will fit seamlessly into the ads business.

👉 A killer acquisition that gives them control of the whole chain.

Hubspot takes the leads that ads generate.

And help you sell and market to those leads.

You track your leads, sync your calls, build your workflows and automation, email marketing, etc.

They have an integrated marketing operation that is a superb value add for marketing orgs.

It gives Google access to a part of the value chain they never saw a dime from before.

A value chain that can't exist without them.

It fits perfectly into Google new AI development:

Their new tech can improve the workflows and funnel conversions.

And you need a CRM tool to drive your AdWords customers to.

There's another benefit too:

It gives Google access to the pipeline flow and data which is tremendous for retargeting.

Make the ads so much more precise. Conversions go much higher.

Higher conversions = higher ad spend = higher rev for Google.

Maximizes leverage on their biz!
