wow just got a demo for this new feature by the AIML team "Listen for Atypical speech" that was announced recently. Mind blowing!! It's gonna be so impactful!
'Listen for Atypical Speech uses on-device machine learning to recognize user speech patterns. Designed for users with acquired or progressive conditions that affect speech, such as cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or stroke, these features provide a new level of customization and control, building on features introduced in iOS 17 for users who are nonspeaking or at risk of losing their ability to speak."

A timely post by someone who used to work in Forest Service:
"The industries that take our public resources, often paying next to nothing for them, run the agencies. The hiring criteria and reward/promotion incentives elevate the sons and daughters of ranchers and rancher wannabee’s along with those from the oil and gas and mining industries because ‘getting out the cut’ is what gets you promoted and doing anything that gets in the way of ‘getting out the cut’ gets you sidelined and/or demoted."
