Episode notes

The first time I that like that kind of concept blew my mind was oddly enough in a Google Assistant announcement where they were talking about Google Assistant becoming contextually aware. So for example, there's this image generator called mid journey. You can see that there is like a style or like a point of view in almost everything that comes out of mid journey. Now, if you're good at mid journey, you can kind of like, you know, get past that and have your own voice come through pretty strongly.

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Travis Neilson about his work at Google, YouTube music, and where AI is at now, and where it’s headed in the future.
