« We cannot live in a world interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a hope. Part of the terror is to take back our listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light. »
🧵 …it is usually only when famous people (see above) complain that it is recognised by the press and passed on. But usually a problem affects people in general.
Thank you @marcel for your tip.
»What Do You Do When A.I. Takes Your Voice?
Two voice actors say an A.I. company created clones of their voices without their permission. Now they’re suing. The company denies it did anything wrong.«
#ScarlettJohansson is threatening #legal action against #OpenAI for copying her #voice for its latest #AI model, GPT-4o, which will be accessible through #ChatGPT.
In a statement provided to The Washington Post by Johansson’s publicist, she claimed that she received an offer from OpenAI CEO #SamAltman in Sept to be the voice of its AI system. Johansson… declined….
On Sun… #OpenAI suspended the #Sky#voice & posted… how the company trained voices used for the audio capability in its more advanced #AI. The company said it paid #VoiceActors “above top-of-market rates” to participate in recording sessions that were used to produce the voices.
…In her statement, … #ScarlettJohansson said #SamAltman tried to contact her 2 days before the demo. But before they could communicate, OpenAI demonstrated the product, forcing her to take #legal action.
Help #trans people. We're doing an educational video and need the help of a #voice actor. Must do American accent of some sort, and ideally an older person. If you are willing to help, please #volunteer by pinging us here. #transrightsarehumanrights#video
Folks, I'm starting my post-#PhD job search low-key on the side while I write up my #thesis.
I have an odd collection of skills - #Linux, #Python, #Jupyter, #pandas, #DevRel, and I've done a lot of work in team leadership and management, and have led a multi-million $ not for profit in the past. Keynote speaker.
I'm looking for something that harnesses all of these skills - and it will be a senior role with senior pay, given my experience, qualifications and proven capability. I have time and will be discerning about my next step.
Job titles that might fit here would be Senior Research Engineer, Engineering Lead, Lead AI Engineer or similar.
Looking for fully remote work, with one day a fortnight max in #Melbourne, AU. If you don't believe in #RemoteWork or #WFH, we're not a good fit.
Super keen on something full time rather than splitting my attention over multiple part-time roles.
Looking to start around August, so a fair amount of lead time.
Keen on organisations that have strong values alignment - #FAIR and #CARE data use, #EthicalAI, AI for social good.
Actors: If you’re an American or have American friends/colleagues and family, encourage them (and I encourage you) to contact your representative and both your senators and tell them your needs in regards to the No Fakes Act: https://www.congress.gov/event/118th-congress/senate-event/335702
Super enjoyed @Unixbigot's talk on #voice controlled DIY #opensource devices, and the overview of the voice assistant stack - learned a couple new tools that I wasn't aware of because head down in #PhD - so informative! Thanks Chris!

Have Cigars Impacted Hetfield's Voice? Metallica Frontman Answers
Metallica's James Hetfield says some around him are concerned about how his cigar habit might affect his singing.
OpenAI debuts Voice Engine, which lets users generate synthetic copy of a voice from a 15-second sample, available to around 100 partners, including HeyGe. In other words, it's not available to the public just yet.
Hey all, my new friend https://mastodon.sdf.org/@Ricardus is looking for remote work. He’s an experienced Recording Engineer and A1 Technical Director.
Please boost him and help him find a gig, with my appreciation!
Finally got enough quiet (maybe) for a home studio and anyone know a voice work (narration, voice over, audiobook) platform that isn’t going to use my files to train A.I? #voice#voicework
