I think this is a very insightful statement about what we call "AI" and will be chewing on it for a while
The fact that human language can be broken down on a mathematical level like this to such an extent, WITHOUT building a genuinely thinking mind behind it, is an immense and deeply unexpected discovery about language and cognition.

This is something that shouldn’t be possible, and now it is.

A new OpenAI tool can recreate human voices — from just a 15-second recording. The technology, called Voice Engine, is currently available only to a small group of early testers. nyti.ms/3TGZIyS

hi bluesky! I’m so grateful to say that over the last three years, my video countdowns have raised more than $50,000 for food insecure families in Brooklyn, women in need of abortions in Texas, and families in need of legal support in New Orleans. This year…(see next post in lieu of threads i guess)
