Making New York City more affordable should be a priority for every elected official.
Instead, the City Council will pass a bill that is going to cost NYC consumers hundreds of millions of dollars in lost discounts. With families across the five boroughs struggling to stretch their budgets, taking away savings is indefensible.

Where would we be on 11/11, if not taking in the beautiful skyline views in a packed house at the Lincoln Center for the @ElevenLabs Summit?🗽

Under the hood: Scribe v3 + v3 Live, touted as ElevenLabs’ most accurate speech-to-text yet.
It powers ElevenAI, a new assistant for meeting notes and voice dictation into any app. Early access 👇

A Tech:NYC try-on haul might be in the works … because this was one of the best merch setups we’ve seen. We’d trust Memory with our shirt size.
Plus, a terrace full of New Yorkers building what’s next. 🏙️
Congrats to the @ElevenLabs team on a great day in NYC!

New York knows how to build.
We have leading AI companies, tens of thousands of startups, deep talent in machine learning and computer science, and universities pushing the field forward. @nyempireai shows what happens when the state and philanthropy get behind that talent and give researchers the computing power to match their ambitions.
Today, @GovKathyHochul launched a first of its kind Center for AI Responsibility, which will build on that foundation, connecting scientists across New York to tackle big questions about AI. Their research should help shape the conversation—and give the people building and using this technology more to work with.
We’re confident that bringing all these New Yorkers together will help chart a path forward for our state and the nation.

Good vibes can be especially good for business…
@NYCMayor has brought new energy to City Hall, and there’s common ground to build on, from affordable childcare to making NYC a place where people can stay and grow.
Our president & CEO @juliepsamuels spoke with @FastCompany about that shared work and what keeps tech companies investing here.
“As long as New York is a place where people want to live, tech companies will continue to expand and hire here.”
