I’d be interested to try it but it seems you have to sign up to a paid plan just to see how well it works. Some sample videos associated with each voice might be a good idea.

Interesting results, and I’m glad these folks were able to find relief. I just feel there’s also something deeply important about the emotional and non-verbal connection you have between patient and clinician that I just can’t see AI being able to replicate.
There’s something about another human being caring about my problems, even if it is just because that’s their job, that makes more difference to me than saying the right sequence of words to help me feel better.
Impressive demonstration, that’s clearly a huge help to sales folks. But I’ve already been ignoring a lot of the automated CRM emails that get sent out because they lack any sort of personal touch or interest, and I recognize it’s just an automated email to get me through their pipeline. Is this going to help with that sentiment?
Whats surprisingly missing from this conversation, and only hinted at in the article, is that there a massive new infrastructure for funding "the arts" today that did not exist 20 years ago. Youtube, instagram, and tiktok allow many more people to pursue creative pursuits and find audiences for their work than before. The people who succeed on these platforms may call themselves creators, but a lot of them are artists. IMO the people who refuse to use the new tools, or do so unseriously find it hard to fund themselves.
I agree, they certainly are artists. Perhaps artists that are good at making content for that particular platform, though. A painter who is dedicated to her craft wouldn’t be able to dedicate as much time getting good at YouTube’s algorithm. How can we support those people?
Am I crazy or is this paper incomplete? Section 3, Results -- the tables are missing.
They’re listed at the end of the paper.

> plausibly ... training data was the major reason for google to buy youtube
I'd agree, and I'd also argue people were totally cool with that until LLM/GenAI happened.
Somehow it's cool and exciting if you fed YouTube data to reconstruct historical artifacts, prototyped self driving car software, trained super-resolution algorithm, so on, but not GenAI. It's a different thing altogether. It's a double standard, or at least a set of criteria with a hidden decisive criterion.
Just IMO, I think that "double" standard has to be discussed more. It's supposedly about copyright but something is off, and it's definitely not about monetary compensation(individual works of art nor collective income support). There's something else with GenAI/LLM that make people want it gone.
e: anecdotal datapoint that people were cool about AI until LLM/GenAI/OpenAI[1] - no talks of safety, training data provenance, societal harm, nothing negative whatsoever from a digital camera news-blog - and it's about a Diffusion model:
Enhance! Google researchers detail new method for upscaling low-resolution images with impressive results
Published Aug 30, 2021 | Gannon Burgett
[...] Or is it? A new blog post on the Google AI Blog showcases a new technology its developed to upscale low-resolution images with incredible results.
Could it be a property of the transformative nature of those non-GenAI models? Using the data to create self driving systems or enhance existing works is adding value to the pool of work. It takes the copy written data and creates something new. GenAI, by comparison, seems to devalue existing works. It takes the same data and creates competing works at best, straight up copies at worst.
I’d be curious to read a complimentary article from the perspective of other people in this author’s life.
In my experience, habitual users can seem perfectly fine but maintaining meaningful relationships has been difficult. Forgetfulness, unfocused thinking, constant talking about the drug or using the drug, etc. all dominate the relationship in those friendships of mine. We all have our baggage and difficulties in a relationship, but with habitual cannabis users it seems to be a prevailing pattern.

CommonMark compatibility could really help. Those quirks were really painful.
I recently tried building out some financial reports using Observable but found myself really stuck on the quirks around HTML and Markdown. It felt like it would have been a great tool if I could just drop down into full HTML templates rather than having to mix in Markdown. Markdown is great for initial prototyping but once I needed to customize some tables outside what the stock controls allowed for it became really impossible. Ultimately I had to scrap the project and move over to Gatsby which allowed for better template control. Though it’s certainly a lot heavier of an option.
When I see people complaining about never being able to purchase a house my response is always the same. move.
$1,100 is considered "well below market rates" for a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC? That's _nuts_ to me.
I'm paying $1,600 for a 3 bed, 2 bath 1800 sq ft house with a 2 car garage. Vaulted ceilings, my neighbor is a police officer and I'm on a corner lot across from a park. fire department is literally 3 blocks away. IOW, I pay more because of the neighborhood.
Granted, I live in a LCOL area, but that's kind of the point. If you feel you don't have the buying power, move. Hell, I know a woman who has a mortgage that she pays off of a fixed income and a bit of side work (600/month I think? in that ballpark) and she's buying more house than that.
It’s not always so easy to move. People form community. That’s hard to replicate. People have jobs. Those can’t necessarily move with them. People need connections. They tend to congregate near larger areas with high costs of living. It’s really a trade off between paying for what’s more valuable to you.
Documenting code is, for the most part, useless. It takes way too much time to keep it up to date. it's easier to just get in there and READ the code. Sure, document the larger, overall, architecture and how all the pieces fit together, but don't try and document all the details. It really isn't worth it.
While understandable for code bases where you have access to the underlying code, with iOS and macOS development, you have no such luxury. Good documentation is a must. I’d argue it’s a huge time saver even for open source libraries.
