👩 Nvidia unveils AI avatar virtual assistant prototype

🐝 The Buzz: Nvidia's AI avatar, named R2X, gave a rather creepy vibe at CES 2025 by living on your PC's desktop and sort of looking like a video game character. It tries to be your AI assistant, but sometimes forgets how to help and stares at you like it's trying to win a staring contest.

• R2X uses Nvidia's AI models to animate and can plug into popular LLMs like GPT-4o or xAI's Grok  

• It's capable of voice and text interaction, screen viewing, and file processing, but with occasional glitches  

• Plans exist to open-source these avatars and eventually have them join meetings or take actions on the desktop  

💡 Takeaway: Tech continues to blur the lines between reality and digital life. Nvidia's R2X avatar hints at the future where AI becomes an invisible digital assistant living on our screens. It's like chatting with a digital roommate who occasionally forgets its chores but has the potential to become a more human-like assistant over time.
