Has anyone been able to actually get a verbatim copy of a written article? The NYT got a ~100 word fragment made up of multiple snippets of a ~15k word article, with the different snippets not even being in order. (The Times had to re-arran

This person did an insanely high dosage of DMT. Most people can hit "breakthrough" levels at 20-30mg, and I rarely hear of even experienced DMT users taking more than 50mg. 100mg for someone on their first real trip isn't som

The vast majority of people report their experiences with the DMT "Machine Elves" as being positive. Very few report the experience as being negative, and I have very very very rarely heard of a bad trip in the same vein that you

I've done DMT a handful of times, and experienced the "entities" in several of them. After the trips ended I did not have any particular feeling that these entities were real, though the experiences were strange in a way that

Yeah. The provided explanation certainly sounds like firing to me. If he had been performing at a level worthy of his continued employment he wouldn't have gotten the ultimatum. It doesn't sound like he was incapable of doing that

> In that case, the company had licensed the rights from the rights owner You keep bringing up the Midler case in other comments, but Ford had licensed the rights for the songs from the rights owner as well. What's different here?

Your question is answered in the case I linked. But no, that level of parallel was not enough in the Sinatra vs. Goodyear case.

I don't think it's a particularly similar voice to begin with, and the technology in general is very 'Her' like - which would also explain why they reached out to ScarJo to do an additional voice. I think the tweet was d

I've been saying this for days, and I'm pretty firmly in the OpenAI critic camp. The only reason people think it sounds like her is because they've biased themselves into it because of all the context surrounding it.

The Midler case is someone that sounded far closer to Midler in an ad that was drawing multiple parallels to Midler. If it is distinguishable to be a different person, courts have ruled that it's fine, see https://law.justia

They pulled the voice because of all of the controversy. I would wager they turn it back on after this is all said and done.

This whole debacle has me extremely confused. I am not particularly enamored with OpenAI, especially the Sam Altman helmed version of it - I have all the usual "Actually ClosedAI," etc. complaints about it. I was hoping the govern
