The thumbnail of the previous post and the name of the song both heavily reminded me of Surrealistic Pillow, the Jefferson Airplane album that has “White Rabbit.”
White Rabbit is a short song but has high impact. It’s absolutely in my top 3 of best songs ever. (It even blows past the Gary Jules version of Mad World, actually.)
This made me think a little too, but then I started thinking about how people talk. Even if a person’s tone is similar, the mannerisms are still drastically different. The voice actor had to spoof Scarletts voice well enough to even fool Scarletts friends.
While I haven’t read Altman’s tweets (or tweets from someone else at OpenAI?) personally, rumor has it he knew what he was doing with a specific voice actor. The intent was to spoof her voice. The intent is probably more damning than the actual act, TBH.
To summarize, there are a few nuggets here: They approached SJh first with a specific reason to use her voice; Some asshat bragged about spoofing the voice on Twitter; There was clear intent of generating a likeness of SJh.
(Thinking about the broke actors for a second… /s) Their face and voice are at the core of their career, similar to how company branding is makes a company unique. While I am not a lawyer, it seems there are some parallels with trademark and copyright law here.
“Accidentally” using a voice that sounds like SJh would be a really poor argument now as well.
If parts were generated, copied or acted it seems somewhat irrelevant. They intended to, and did, generate SJh’s likeness, by whatever means, and that is the key point.
But yeah, they probably mixed and matched voice samples to their liking. I wouldn’t doubt that for a second. If actual samples were used in the final product, that would be extremely damning.
Screenshots of random numbers suck ass. I am right there with you when it comes to digging into that stuff and it takes a ton of time.
Lies propagate faster than truth because the real data can be complex and nuanced. It’s simply easier to look at a chart of made up numbers that “supports” a pre-existing bias. It makes people feel good. Learning things actually hurts some people. (I am preaching to the choir probably so sorry bout that.)
It gets even worse on our various lemmygrad instances. Some of the major offenders post walls of copy-pasta text and urls to support a belief. The logic is usually extremely flawed and source links are usually crap as well. It doesn’t matter because many people don’t read into the wall-o-text and it can take hours to validate random news sites.
If you use other Microsoft services, they could have your email, exact location and even all the passwords you save for starters.
At the end of the day, you simply don’t know all the data they collect and can easily be much more than you trivialized. In the privacy agreements, you will see a ton of “optional” collecting which we all know is turned on by default.
If you think that is still all bullshit, if there is data stored somewhere other than your own PC, it’s not your data. If “AI” can reference your exact history, this gets 100x worse than it has in the past.
You are deflecting. You trivialized the data collection that is happening. I gave a fairly good list of what Microsoft collects which is a bit beyond your poo-poo’d description. I only added cloud services and AI as part of the same problem and you latched on to that.
We’re already beyond fucked.
Yeah, bud. That was the point of my quip, now kindly fuck off and go rage on someone else.
well, sucks to be a heli pilot (files.catbox.moe)
