casualbob_ukon OpenAI rolls out Advanced Voice Mode with more voices and a new look

The app announced I had access to advanced voice mode about 10 mins ago, gave me the guided tour and got me to chose a voice, and now it's gone again, with the message back that it's on its way

During this time, I dont believe I actually had access to it, as it wouldn't hum, laugh, pick up on my voice tones etc

Got my hopes up!

casualbob_ukon Cryptocurrency company Ripple says SEC lawsuit is imminent

https://kin.org/ got sued by the SEC for the same reason. They 'got away' with a 5m fine but were not branded a security (does that automatically declare them a currency?). They're now free to carry on development with the SEC behind them. The difference is they just moved to Solana as a token, so they're decentralized, whereas what I take from XRP is that it's not. I don't fancy XRPs chances seeing what the Kin boys and girls went through, but if they 'win', whatever that may look like, they'll be up and away.
