By "something happens to me", are you talking about a temporary absence (due to an illness or a vacation or something) or are you talking about the bus number (you get hit by a bus)?

I honestly don't understand how delusional you have to be to think OpenAI wanted this to happen.

Quoting that as a relevant case law is completely ridiculous. Did you even look at the Ford commercial? https://youtu.be/hxShNrpdVRs Having someone sing in the exact same style as another singer is totally different from wh

Well, it's because of the Americans not the British. The internet has primarily been built out in the US.

I will agree with you if - they used Johannson's actual voice in training the text to speech model or - a court finds that they violated Johannson's likeness. From hearing the demo videos, I don't think the voice sounded tha

If they used her actual voice for training the model that shipped then I agree with you. It seems like they used the voice from another woman who sounds similar though.

They approached Johansson and she said no. They found another voice actor who sounds slightly similar and paid her instead. The movie industry does this all the time. Johansson is probably suing them so they're forced to remove the Sky

How did they even cheat here? OpenAI did nothing wrong. The movie industry does the same thing all the time. If an actor/actress says no they you find someone else who can play the same role.

okay but if I only need to text ONE phone number (and I can prove ownership over that phone number), then why so many restrictions? There should be an easier way to just test out the API.

Funny how Matt Levine acts like he's forced to write about Elon Musk (he's always like "ughh I have to talk about Musk again") when literally NONE of his readers ask him to talk about Musk (all the feedback on Twitter is

You can make up 1000 different potential failure modes to try and make yourself feel smart.

Twilio already uses aggressive sales strategies. They make you deposit $20 to test out their API AND THEN they tell you to get approved by talking to customer support. I was unable to get approved so I guess I'm out $20 for no reason.

Interesting. I tried to create a Twilio account 2 weeks ago and it was the worse developer experience I've ever had by far . Like seriously. They first make you deposit $20 to get started. THEN, they tell you to talk to customer sup

Can you give more details on your background as a DevOps/Systems Engineer? What languages you do know, what experience do you have?

I think it would be far better to just store a bunch of epubs on your phone in case you get hurled back. Textbooks on physics, chem, etc.

Typical WSJ hit piece. > Musk has used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private parties, the Journal said, citing unnamed witnesses and others with knowledge of the matter. Haha okay. Unknown sources == fabricate

Um, no. You've somehow confused the supreme court with the US court system as a whole. If you look at stats, it's about a 50-50 split in appointments between right vs. left.

> because I don't want anyone thinking I support Musk I assure you that 99.999% of people really don't care about your car. And they care far, far less about whether you support Elon Musk.

That’s not a fact, you just made that up and it’s pretty obviously false if you look at their cash flow statement and how much cash they got from the new roadster. Tesla trades at an insanely inflated multiple compared to other car manufact
