I for one am happy to see this type of news here.

Games -> AI-powered characters that interact with you in realtime

Commercials/tutorials/corporate training videos -> Voiceover work

TV shows -> Dubbing in various languages

Fast food drive-throughs -> Taking customer orders

In the Ford case they hired an impersonator to sing one of her copyrighted songs, so it's clearly an impersonation.

In OpenAI's case the voice only sounds like her (although many disagree) but it isn't repeating some famous line of dialog from one of her movies etc, so you can't really definitively say it's impersonating SJ.

In 2015 (almost 10 years ago now) the tech probably wasn't as convincing as it is today. But I agree you could probably get like 90% there

GPT-4o voice isn't out yet, so you were likely chatting with the old/current tech (which is still really good).

From OpenAI: "We'll roll out a new version of Voice Mode with GPT-4o in alpha within ChatGPT Plus in the coming weeks"

I think they were just interrupting on purpose to show off that as a feature (or they just wanted to keep the live presentation brief)

The voice getting cut off was likely just a problem with their live presentation setup, not the ChatGPT app. It was flawless in the 2nd half of the presentation.

This is huge for indie game developers! They can voice every line of dialogue for every character themselves (or with just 1 professional voice actor).

Text-to-speech AI voice generators exist, but you don't have fine control over the emotion/expressiveness/intonation of the lines like you do with this approach.

I don't believe it modifies the accent. I noticed I could hear his asian accent coming through every character, so it seems to just modify the voice but not the intonation

I see, wikipedia's definition is quite informative here. Thanks

As a laymen, isn't the spectrum just 'less autistic tendencies' and 'more autistic tendencies'? Is this a myth, or does the spectrum refer to something else? I was always under the impression that some people could be more autistic than others.

Great, but this should be super clear in the readme. Even better is to include some example usage.

But what is Bulma?

I read the github readme and I still don't know what it does (other than it's a CSS framework). The only link that looks useful is the documentation link which leads to a 404 page.

I just wanna see an overview or some examples, I'm confused how this isn't the first thing shown on the github page.

Yes I was a little unfair with some of them

Haha didn't know about this! Clearly we've regressed as a society

Why do we need cars? Horses work fine already

Why do we need smartphones? Blackberry works fine already

Why do we need 100Mb/s internet? 10Mb/s works fine already

Why do we need 24 inch monitors? 19 inch works fine already

Why do we need 3.2GHz laptops? 2.4GHz works fine already

Why do we need better headphones? Stock wired earbuds work fine already

I could go on forever :)

Some questions we've thrown at GPT-4 recently (real use cases):

> how does torchmetrics IOU work? Does it match gt with detection boxes? or does it do pairwise IOU and average?

> What predictions has Ray Kurzweil made that he got correct and incorrect? Please produce a table

> can you give me a stack implementation with min function in O(1) time

> (A question about how we should solve a UX problem specific to our app)

> What is the best way to return raw image data via a REST endpoint?

> How is Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) calculated?

> Following the email exchange below, write a cross intro email to introduce (X person) to (Y person)

> How do I run this code on TPU in Collab?

I feel all this needs is a little CSS to make things actually readable. In it's current state, it looks awful. Really confusing.

I don't know how old you are, but as a younger millennial these look pretty awful to me (no disrespect). I'm sure nostalgia plays a part. I feel the same way about videos/sci-fi shows from the 2000s - none of the modern stuff quite feels the same.

But as another commenter said, I don't think it's the camera itself - it's the stylistic changes in lighting, camera angles, direction, etc. Each decade has a distinct 'feel' - films/shows in the 80s don't feel like the 90s, or the 2000s like the 2010s, etc.

> My family eats rice with almost every meal.

I wouldn't say that's typical of most American households though. Ever heard of the Standard American Diet?

Wow, that's incredible. So wholesome reading a comment like this on HN, makes me more hopeful of the future. Thanks for sharing

They're billing me $24 USD. It used to be $20 but then they realised they weren't including tax (20% = $4) for UK customers so they raised it.

Are you paying as a business maybe? Or perhaps you're just lucky and they missed you haha

> Which is about 20% more than I currently pay to OpenAI.

ChatGPT Plus (which I assume is what they're competing with) is the same price - £18.99.

Actually not a bad deal considering I'm already paying for Google One (for gdrive storage), so I can just combine the two services for the same price as ChatGPT.

Hmm I think the dashed lines still don't say to me "disabled" unless you told me. It looks more like a secondary button (eg "Go back" or "Cancel"). I really do think the use of reduced opacity would make sense here :)

I believe this is a real screen capture from an actual Vision Pro (it came out last friday). The video description says "See what a real workflow looks like with the new #visionpro". There's more videos on his channel also :)

This is big

I'm also very curious to know

> I do not see how the existence of autonomous taxis is any different than the existence of taxis.

Cost. The cost of an Uber is way too much for daily travel (vs owning your own car or public transport).

A human-driven taxi needs to pay the driver's salary within an 8 hour shift. An autonomous taxi can run (almost) 24/7, 365 days a year. Which do you think will be the cheaper fare?

Another scenario is someone simply renting out their own car as an autonomous taxi whenever they aren't using it themselves (which is most of the time). Then it'll always be cheaper than current-day taxis because it's just a low-effort bonus source of income to the car owner.

Genuine question, but how will Airbnb know this about you? Are you suggesting they've bought some 3rd party dataset that contains this information about its customers, or is somehow inferring these precise personality interests by looking at a customer's prior bookings?

I'm aware Airbnb lets you book 'experiences', which could be used to infer personality, but I'm not sure how popular these actually are (as an extrovert with extroverted friends in their lates 20s/early 30s I don't know anyone that has booked any).

I think it's possibly much simpler than we think - they can probably just look at your average booking size by number of guests (to determine how likely you frequently party), the type of property/location you've booked, and how close to NYE you've made the booking (a last minute NYE booking with 13 guests screams party).

They were (I believe). It's the "of course its not going to be the same" part that's OP just being a smart-ass. Only the first part of the sentence was needed.

Besides, even if they did know the show was cancelled, it still impacts how one views the show knowing one of it's major cast members is dead. Same with Matt Perry (Chandler) passing away recently - that knowledge will forever change Friends, despite the last season being in 2004.
