Same question. What did I just install that required a restart?
Virtual microphone driver, perhaps?

Re: Show HN: Supertone Shift – AI powered Real-time voice changer
#52This seems really cool and I can see some great use cases. But the marketing is very odd to me. It says it will let me express myself in a voice that is truly my own…but I can already do that with my natural voice. That seems more likely to be unique than what I would get by adjusting it in software.
I guess the wording is awkward, but as a trans person, I still resonate with it. I'm acutely aware it's not going to be "my voice", but neither is the one I have right now.
Thanks for the explanation. This is definitely something I hadn't considered.

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
Funny to see myself being downvoted for a harmless call for a reason, so, few more comments: The fact someone did something and put a substantial effort into it is not a reason good enough to justify said effort (other than the benefits of learrning) and the product that was created. The world is full of things which actually made it worse place. Another comment is actually a meta-comment and might be shocking to som…
The reason is fun, and no justification is needed. Maybe you've spent too long looking at the world in a purely progress-driven way. EDIT: I've been there before, but imo the point of progress is to have fun in the end anyway
No, I am precisely not looking at the world in a purely progress-driven way. I think many of creators do - they think they bring a piece of progress to the world, where in fact they might bring regress - in this context, a service which is enabling people to sound like someone else, adding up to the pile of confusion and fake content.

There are dozens of other products in this category, including completely open source ones you can fine tune.
Commercial applications like Voice.Ai and Koe are real time and have celebrity and anime voices respectively.
The RVC ecosystem on GitHub has dozens of different real time open source voice changers. I haven't kept up with the SOTA, but they're incredible, fine tunable, and 100% local.

#58All this technology is leading to a world where we can present second-life/alternative identities cohesively online. I wonder if this is going to cause a global decline in the ability for people to express themselves, since it is now so easy to create an identity online that is different than your real-life identity. I think it's rather sad. Yes, there are some fringe use-cases perhaps but I think this is the wrong d…
It will first lead to a world where fake videos of celebrities will be used to scam you, and your own voice will be used to scam your relatives. Both of those are happening today.
Ironically, this will lead to a work where we need to use these fake personas online to not have our lives messed with offline.
I don’t fully agree with your first paragraph, but I do agree with the second one.

The phrasing is pretty standard, the important part is the middle sentence. Often it includes irrevocable, transferable and sublicensable as well.
That being said, I hate "remains your property" part. It's just fluff that changes nothing, but distracts from the following sentence.
