- realistic TTS: https://huggingface.co/coqui/XTTS-v2 https://huggingface.co/coqui/XTTS-v2, bark TTS (hit or miss)
- open great STT (mostly whisper based)

It's crazy to see how much is coming out of Meta's R&D alone.

- AYBABTME 3y agoOn the plus side, people make up the organization and when they eventually grow fed up with the dystopia, they leave with their acquired knowledge and make their own thing. So dystopias aren't stable in the long term.

- randrus 3y agoA very apt reference to the story The ones who walk away from Omelas Dunno how pasting a link works but here it is: https://shsdavisapes.pbworks.com/f/Omelas.pdf https://shsdavisapes.pbworks.com/f/Omelas.pdf
- refulgentis 3y agoI feel vaguely annoyed, I think it's because it took a lot of time to read through that, and it amounts to "bad to put child in solitary confinement to keep whole society happy." What does a simplistic moral set piece about the abhorrence of sacrificing the good of one for the good of many have to do with (check notes) Facebook? Even as vague hand-wavey criticism, wouldn't Facebook would be the inverse?
- tga_d 3y agoYou have every right to take what you like from it, but I'd suggest that perhaps you're not seeing what others are if all you get is a morality play. As one example, maybe spend some time thinking about why you apparently missed that it's intentionally left ambiguous as to whether the child is even real in the story's world.

- turnsout 3y agoWhoa, Bark got a major update recently. Thanks for the link as a reminder to check in on that project!
- lelag 3y agoCan you share what update you are referring to ? I've played with Bark quite extensively a few month ago and I'm on the fence regarding that model: when it works, it's the best, but I found it to be pretty useless for most use-case I want to use TTS for because of the high rate of bad or weird output. I'm pretty happy with XTTv2 though. It's reliable and output quality is still pretty good.
