To be fair, they’ve got pretty serious potential for letting tech companies get paid for a seasoned voice actor’s unique delivery, tone, inflection, etc rather than the voice actor themselves.

Yeah it’s not great but it’s definitely not unusual. And windows reputation-based execution blocking does have false positives. I work for a company that has some very very popular products and some that only see a few dozen downloads per w

Indeed. Humans ascended to dominance because we can cooperate. This every-man-for-themself idea is an aberration, not the natural order as so many claim. It’s rather astounding to think otherwise considering the logistics of how we’re commu

Yeah I pretty much grew up (unknowingly) playing in an illegal unmarked chemical waste dump so it takes a lot to get my attention, but I opened up an old fluorescent desk lamp from the 60s I had that fried itself to see if it was fixable —

Cool, thanks. I think I should learn how these components actually work. Individually they seem pretty simple.

I wonder if OpenAI/Google/Microsoft, et al would hire a developer that leaned heavily on ChatGPT, etc to answer interview questions? Not that I expect them to have ethical consistency when there are much more important factors (pr

What’s the liquid in the old capacitors? PCBs? (as in polychlorinated biphenyls… that abbreviation collision always annoyed me.) I think I know exactly enough about electronics to ask more annoying questions than someone who doesn’t know an

I don’t have a well-considered answer, but a) I imagine being able to host a phishing site on an official domain from them using their SSL cert is problematic, and b) my gut says that as soon as you start hosting arbitrary files— e.g. zip f

Yeah, but trying to contribute design work to FOSS projects sucks— firstly, a whole lot of project maintainers think that UX and UI design hurt usability because they “dumb things down” to make them look pretty. Secondly, the workflows for

Sentencing? Who’s been charged? The article implied that regulatory bodies haven’t even raised an eyebrow— the parties are in mediation and synapse said they don’t even have enough money to audit their books, and are just sort of shruggi

I think you're absolutely on-point. There's literally no end to the amount of money they could innovate for themselves if we'd just let them do whatever the hell they want and then claim it's too confusing to figure out

Personally I think the real question is why a robber that stole $500 from a bank teller drawer and anyone that helped them gets thrown in prison without any meaningful consideration of their circumstances while these besuited lowlifes get

I don't think "ethics" implies group recognition, though-- I'd call those principles mores.

The thing people love about Gen AI is not needing to understand the dozens, if not hundreds, of deliberate and unconscious artistic decisions an artist makes when creating a piece by hand. It's great to be able to think of a core idea,

PCG and NN-generated are definitely not the same thing though. I've done both, and most PCG is made using plain-old programming and art assets-- it's just more flexible to configure at runtime. Anyone I've seen trying to do r
