Guy you replied to did miss that part but consider the (still to be verified) facts.
they ask to use her voice, she declined.
they proceed by not using her voice. Someone else’s voice instead.
oPeNaI “believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity’s distinctive voice—Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice. To protect their privacy, we cannot share the names of our voice talents.”
The end result is pretty clear here. Either this other person exist and could testify privately in court with her natural voice which she has the rights to work with OpenAi. There is a closure in law where not being able to provide evidence that the court knows must exist can make you guilty. Openai could have tried to pull a “this is a fully unique synthetic voice” but crucially they did not.
Start getting into self hosting, you dont need all that expensive hardware. An old laptop can get you started.
Heres some stuff you can do.
Fix youtube:
A script (with yt-dl) on a schedule checks a list of channels to download x amount latests videos from their channel.
Fix Television Streaming:
Jellyfin allows you to stream your own content regardless where you sourced it. I output the youtube videos from above in it
Fix Music Stream
Ive setup Navidrone to stream my music library. Previously i only ever played locally stored music but storage space limits forced me to look beyond and its been working well
Fix Cloud computing
Get full control and ownership of your data so it cant be exploited behind your back. Nextcloud is well documented on how to setup your own cloud system including office apps, calendars.
Fix personal online communication.
Signal appears to be one of the only ones competent to so it right.
In general on the web:
Always ublock origin, I’ve yet to see a better one and i flat-out wont use the desktop web without.
Use bookmarks for sites you visit regularly rather then giving search engine the extra traffic every time. This sounds super mild but its actually a focus lifehack. You dont need 90% of the shit your being distracted with.
Most people only need a handful of urls for a few functions. For me half of those are selfhosted and those that arent are in someway selected and configured for personal least hassle least shit experience. Ever since I bookmarked Wikipedia and wolfram i’ve used them more to get answers than conventional search engines.
Its only partly local and i bet only because the alternative is to expensive.
Just look at the kinda crap windows pulls today.
I thought i had disabled pretty much all the spyware, them on the microsoft online dashboard i found
full machine specs
A list off all applications installed
edge search history
Btw, did you know that anything typed in start/search now counts as a search in edge? I wander whats behind that move.
In other words i understand much of the ai may function on a local level but it be fully integrated with cloud systems and you can safely assume a full record of your prompts and uses is stored on microsoft servers and delivered to bill gates for reading before bed.
Depends on your browser extensions, you can even pretend to be a phone if you want. ;)
And also not the same level of detail as microsoft is just lifting from your hardware like motherboard model and manufacturer, how many drives, how they are formatted and how much space is used on each of em.
Some people aren’t gonna like me saying this. But when used responsibly chatgpt is the absolute linux mvp.
I stopped being a windows user a month after getting access to gpt4, its been amazing. I learned so much in general and it would not have been feasible for me without there-are-no-dumb-questions-ai
“don’t enter any commands you see online without looking at it first. You can’t trust everyone”
This has somewhat become a staple idea of mine. People trust others online way too easily. Ai isn’t all that different in this but its more obvious to us that there is something to be scared about the uncanny valley.
What it tends to come down to is capacity for personal critical thinking which we should aim to foster more in future generations.
Maybe i assume too much that programmer-minded people naturally come with such skills for troubleshooting and will be capable of responsible ai interactions?
I would do this if not for the irresistible urge to make full use of this treasure of an opportunity to look and act like a pirate in a socially acceptable context.
I’ve heard stories of people 50-60 years ago drinking water from the river.
Mostly in documentaries about how these rivers got so polluted they are now chemical infested ecological hazards with little capacity to sustain life.
The pond in the back appears fine, but pollution is all around us. How can they truly be sure this water is safe? Not everyone can boil or filter on the spot wherever whenever.
Taking items, belongings to a different person is wrong.
Causing physical harm to a person is even far more wrong.
Regardless of laws i believe these those to be true in civilized society
But to add to that, to who exactly do the items on display in a store belong? (I asked this question to ai to make following list)
The items belong to the store owner or corporation that owns the store, having been legally purchased for resale.
The items belong to the workers who produce them, as their labor creates the value of these items.
The items belong to the community or society as a whole, ensuring collective access and distribution.
The items belong to those who use them, with property being legitimate only when actively utilized.
The items are part of the common resources that should be freely accessible to all individuals, promoting mutual aid and cooperation.
Noteworthy is that the items never belong to the store employee from any perspective but it could belong to the thieves according to 3, 4 and 5, If the thief happens to work at the factory they can also fall under 2.
Fair enough i should indeed not have excluded the staff according to my own logic. Neither should policy be made based on internet comment. I also should have refrained from using chatgpt as i could have easily made such list myself.
Thanks for your feedback
I am an advocate for using ai to enhance speech if it’s clearly labeled. The desire to be a good example towards this labeling appears to have lead to me doing so where not actually needed or relevant. I didn’t misread its output as much then it was already wrong in my head while writing the prompt.
My intention was to explore the meaning of ownership and belonging rather than proposing theft be fully legalized. I understand that in modern society we only consider economical ownership but i deeply question such.
To answer your hypothesis of a state run distribution center, you must understand i answer this purely from my own understanding of the world.
Depending on your own perspectives i am both pro and anti government at the same time.
To me (and this is a personal-anarchism perspective) a state at minimum is but an organized collective of people concerning the general well being and health of all members of its own people. If a state can be just this then i want it. If it’s not this then what is its purpose.
A state run distribution center running out of goods because the people it distributes toward made inefficient and asocial choices and committing acts of exploitation (creating scarcity by taking to much, profiting by creating exclusive ownership of the goods yourself) is a sign of a broken society and in extends its government as such system is not sustainable.
People who compromise the sustainability of their own society are a system of systemic neglect of education and mental health.
Yes my pov is radical and extremist. Till someone comes by that can properly show me how and why taking this perspective and talk about it is more wrong then silently going trough the motions of the planet wrecking machine. I am unlikely to think differently.
It looks monorail at first but if you look closer its not.
I also wouldn’t want to be the forgetful dumb person that forgot how late it was before taking this thing home because those cargo trains ain’t gonna stop.
I hope i don’t make the paper sad by saying this but the numbers are kinda off. (Or i misunderstand)
The only real difference is for below age 24. Then its pretty much the same if not less prevalent for autists.
They point to some other factors about the types of questions that indicate that the differences are underestimated but evidently that didn’t translate in hard numbers.
