Yes: https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=text-to-speech Generally if a model is trending on that page, there’s enough juice for it to be worth a try. There’s a lot of subjective-opinion-having in this space, so beyon

It’s tough to name the best local TTS since they all seem to trade off on quality and features and none of them are as good as ElevenLabs’ closed-source offering. However Kokoro-82M is an absolute triumph in the small model space. It curbst

I get the feeling that folks like Ed find “genuine AI enjoyers” to be an annoying inconvenience in their efforts to write fun cathartic screeds about how AI is useless and the people pushing for it are all frauds. He has to include that sec

You’re also only renting your internet connection! If you want to be a real rent-seeker (sorry, meant to say “landlord”) you’ll need to purchase an AS and become a BGP-peering sovereign citizen cutting deals with backbone networks.

> But when they’re endorsing one religious group to piss off another? This is a ridiculous take. The Satanic Temple is about as much of a “real” religious group as The Church of the Sub-Genius or Pastafarians. If you’re equating them wit

Seriously? Have you never had a person more powerful than you tell you that you’re wrong when they in fact are wrong? Often in corporate environments the answer to a “what to do next” question isn’t easily provable, and people who take adva

Oh come on, are you 12? Real life doesn’t have narrative arcs like that. This is a real problem. We’re not gonna just sit around and then enjoy a cathartic resolution.

I suspect that you haven’t really used them much, or at least in a while. You’re spouting a lot of 2023-era talking points.

Nah. The real philosophical headache is that we still haven’t solved the hard problem of consciousness, and we’re disappointed because we hoped in our hearts (if not out loud) that building AI would give us some shred of insight into the ri

Right but a looot of the criticism online is based on assumptions (either personal or inherited from other commenters) that haven’t been updated since 2006.

This is another genre of AI article that annoys me: The one where the author starts by agreeing with you that AI is a definitely a bubble, and we’re gonna just “know” that for the rest of the article, no argument necessary. I don’t feel lik

I think a lot of people in America talk about plumbers as this sort of “aspirational blue-collar job” because they forget how dirty it is. Like, the usual boomer framing is to talk about how you know a guy who makes $100K as a plumber, mumb

People need to stop with this whole “more people on $job means more of $product” thing. I know that’s what they teach in freshmen economics, but it’s almost never true in reality.

Insurance often refuses to cover ADHD meds, so a lot of us our paying the full price. Which is garbage, and is very much to do with insurance and our system of it.

I used to say that the dumbest conversation about AI was about whether it was “actually intelligent”, but I was wrong: It’s the conversation about whether it’s “overhyped”. Like, I don’t care how much Sam Altman hyped up GPT-5, or how many

It feels like a common thing in the AI space (moreso than other OSS spaces). People don’t get how trademarks work and that you can’t just name your project after something that’s already popular. I think some people think it’s a clever grow

I did read to the end before commenting. The author alludes to a paper they wrote 3 years ago while self-importantly complimenting themself on how good it was (always a red flag). They don’t really say much other than that in the post.

This is a genre of article I find particularly annoying. Instead of writing an essay on why he personally thinks GPT-5 is bad based on his own analysis, the author just gathers up a bunch of social media reactions and tells us about them, c
