- oculusthrift 9y agoit’s funny they find some convoluted justification saying it’s to help people who can’t speak
- ajdlinux 9y agoLyrebird's website leaves me with no confidence whatsoever that they understand the ethical implications of the technology they're developing or that they are working to develop their technology in such a way as to address those concerns. I hope every company that's working on this stuff either fails, financially or technologically, or ideally gets regulated out of existence, at least until they commit to working on technology, policy and journalistic techniques to mitigate the absolutely inevitable misuse, because as a society we simply are not ready for this. If you work for one of these groups, you should either ensure they're working on said mitigations, or quit.
- whataretensors 9y agoTechnology is always a double edged sword. It's up to all of us to ensure that the good outweighs the bad.
- Drdrdrq 9y agoThat's a bit harsh... There are always some advances in technology that society needs to adapt to. This is inevitable - and no amount of regulation will help it. It is also not something bad, that's just the way it is and always was.
- berberous 9y agoDo you feel the same way about Photoshop? Society seems to have adapted to that just fine, despite the misuses.
- namelost 9y agoWould you prefer only the Russian government had access to this technology? By making the technology publicly available we can all fully understand its power. It's mathematics, and mathematics cannot be suppressed no matter how much you want it to be.
- aw3c2 9y agoBetter the Russians than the Chinese though! Right?
- kevin_thibedeau 9y agoThis isn't new technology. Something similar (audio only) was developed 20 years ago in the US but it "disappeared" from public.
