Oh, very interesting. The 4o model does now have TTS with a voice option similar to the one in the video, although objectively less over the top.

Looks like their TTS component is separate from the model. I just tried 4o, and there is a list of voices to select from. If they really only allowed that one voice or burned it into the model, then that would probably have made the model f

It is exceptionally creepy. It is an unnatural effort to appear pleasing, like the fawning response seen in serious abuse survivors.

Few people are talking about it but... what do you think about the very over-the-top enthusiasm? To me, it sounds like TikTok TTS, it's a bit uncomfortable to listen to. I've been working with TTS models and they can produce much

As a game AI developer since the 90s, I can say that lost and confused recruiters have only recently started tying me to machine learning AI, lol. Game AI is closer to robotics (“perceive-think-actuate”) than machine learning. Always has be

I can just imagine Elorp Munk building a space company on Mars a billion years ago to colonize the frozen and inhospitable Earth. Bringing over some germs and then failing to establish a colony… that could make for some great sci-fi.

Maybe Earth? Who knows? Lots of good sci-fi has been written about it. I recommend J.P. Hogan’s “Inherit the Stars”, which starts with evidence of human spaceflight predating known history and goes on interesting directions.

Oh yeah, if the G7 agree on climate change, that's definitely happening. Just don't look at the Kyoto Protocol, Copenhagen Accord or the Paris Agreement.

It's not a large project, but you would need fine-tuning or a lot of few-shot examples to approach SpamAssassin's efficacy. It would still be slower than SpamAssassin. This is one of those "X but with LLM" ideas :) As fa

When the author describes digital life as it is today in the opening paragraphs, it’s so in contrast to how life was in the 90s or early 00s. My first thought reading that was not about scams, but about how poked and prodded we are from eve

Yeah, that part is a bit grand-standey. It was awkward to read. Also, it’s not very correct. You could dump bits straight into a memory buffer and still sanitize them before use. It’s not as insane of a security issue as presented. It’s mor

Yes. But the assembly experience and the wobbliness of the case are worse than a $70 mini-ITX options. I think even $70 would be half brand tax. As the quality to my mind puts this case among the cheapest of the cheapest.
