AI Agents Are Ready to Take Over Jobs, Says Sam Altman

By 2025, you might see AI agents working alongside humans in offices.

These agents won’t need breaks, vacations, or paychecks.

They’ll be doing real jobs, like customer service or research.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, believes AI will be a big part of the workforce in just a few years.

What we can conclude:

• AI Agents by 2025: Sam Altman predicts that AI agents will start working in businesses, improving how companies operate.

• Working on Their Own: These AI agents will be able to do their jobs without needing help from humans.

• They’ll make decisions on their own.

• Where They’ll Be Used: AI agents could be used in many areas, like answering customer questions, doing research, or managing tasks that people usually do.

• Superintelligence Goal: OpenAI wants to make AI smarter than humans in certain ways, helping businesses solve problems faster and better.

• Gradual Change: AI agents will be introduced slowly. This gives people time to adjust to working with them.

• Concerns About Jobs: Some worry that AI could take over jobs, leaving many people without work. Others are concerned about how AI makes decisions and whether it’s fair.

Why This Matters:

AI agents could change the way businesses run. They could make work faster and more efficient.

But, this could also lead to job loss for many people. It’s important to think about how we’ll work with AI and what it means for our future.

By 2025, AI agents could be everywhere, and we need to be ready for this big change.

Build an AI Voice Character App in Less Time Than a Coffee Break

AI voice character apps are a fun and interactive way to engage users.

This guide will show you how to build one quickly using advanced tools and frameworks.

In just 40 minutes, you can create an app with lifelike voice characters for entertainment, virtual assistants, or even education.

What You’ll Need

To get started, you’ll need the following:

1. Code Editor: Use Visual Studio Code or any editor you prefer.

2. AI Models: Use Daily for backend support and Pip Cat for voice customization.

3. Next.js Framework: Build web apps easily with this powerful tool.

4. GitHub: For version control and repository management.

5. API Key: Obtain keys to connect to external services, like weather APIs.

6. Basic Coding Skills: Familiarity with cloning repositories and deploying apps is helpful.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Set Up Your Development Environment

• Clone the starter repository from GitHub.

• Install dependencies using npm install or yarn.

2. Connect to Daily’s Backend

• Get an API key from Daily.

• Add the key to your app for backend communication.

3. Configure Personality and Voice

• Customize the character's personality and voice settings.

• Use Pip Cat AI to fine-tune the voice for natural and engaging interactions.

4. Add Function Calling

• Define tasks your app should perform, like fetching weather data.

• Use a weather API to retrieve real-time updates and display them via your AI character.

Master Function Calling

Function calling is how your app responds to users. Follow these steps:

1. Define functions based on user actions or triggers (e.g., asking for the weather).

2. Use APIs to fetch data (e.g., connect a weather API for real-time updates).

3. Process and display the data seamlessly for a smooth user experience.

Deploy Your App with Vercel

Vercel makes deployment quick and easy:

1. Connect your GitHub repository to Vercel.

2. Deploy your app with one command.

3. Share the live link so users can access it instantly.

Showcase Your AI App

After deploying, test the app by demonstrating its features. For example:

• Make a FaceTime call with a virtual anime character (vtuber).

• Highlight how the character interacts and performs tasks.

Experiment and Improve

• Try creating different characters with unique voices and personalities.

• Add new functionalities to enhance user experience.

• Explore the documentation for more features and examples.

By following these steps, you’ll have a fully functional AI voice character app ready to wow your audience.

Meta Discontinues Quest Pro VR Headset Amid Low Sales and Market Shifts

Meta has officially ended production of its Quest Pro VR headset due to disappointing sales and the growing demand for more affordable alternatives.

Key Details:

• Discontinuation Announcement: Meta revealed the Quest Pro’s discontinuation in January 2025.

• Reason for Discontinuation: The headset’s high initial price of $1,500, combined with sluggish sales, led to its phase-out. Even after a price reduction to $1,000, sales failed to improve significantly.

• Affordable Alternatives: Meta has since introduced the Quest 3 and Quest 3S, offering similar features at a more budget-friendly price point.

• Touch Pro Controllers: While the Quest Pro is no longer available, the Touch Pro controllers remain for sale and are compatible with the Quest 2 and newer models.

Why It Matters:

The end of the Quest Pro marks a shift in Meta’s VR strategy, reflecting the challenges of selling high-priced headsets in a competitive market. With the focus now on more affordable options like the Quest 3, Meta is aiming to make VR technology accessible to a broader audience, potentially boosting adoption rates.
