【Market Flash】The voice on the other end of the phone may not be human. Jack Dorsey's Block has launched Dessa, a voice model it calls “the most realistic full-duplex voice model”: it learns to speak simply by listening to human conversations, and can listen and speak at the same time, with emotion and pauses. Could such a humanlike voice become a new tool for scams? Even CZ has its educational applications in his sights. The more technology sounds human, the more vigilant we need to be against fraud. Can you tell an AI phone call from a real one?

The next stage of voice AI isn’t just about sounding more human—it’s about whether it can run on your own machine.

Block has released Dessa, a new voice model. The company says it is trained entirely on audio, can capture laughter, pauses, and emotion, supports full-duplex listening and speaking, and can run locally on consumer-grade GPUs. This takes real-time conversation one step further from a cloud-based black box toward something deployable and controllable.

What it means: For product teams, local inference could change the trade-offs around latency and privacy. At the intersection of crypto and AI, voice agents that can be deployed locally may be easier to integrate with wallets, customer support, and on-chain notifications—but they also bring permission and accidental-action risks onto users’ devices. The more human these systems become, the more important it is to give them an emergency stop.
