That Sienfeld thing could use better AI voices. That tech has improved since they started this.

What's the alternative? The government banning AI TV for 30 years until the long term studies are done? Young kids already have access to the internet at a young age and that's screwing them up royally anyway

We don't allow medicines or food additives that are substantially different from previous ones into our food supply FOR THIS EXACT REASON. You know what would be even better than a ban?

So you want to ban AI for 30 years, that's just completely impractical. It's also the government insisting that they can know whats good for you better than you can.
We allow all sorts of food additives that are only now being banned because they turned out to be bad. I'm not saying we should allow them, but in general we do.
All of your complaints may be valid but you are living in some sort of fantasy land if you think that is going to happen. That's just not the way the world works.

I'm what way are things actually restricted to adults only? Idk how you plan to put that into action
I mean, they SHOULD BE. I as a man am still unpacking unhealthy ideas about sex and women some twenty fucking years on because I got access to pornography WAY too fucking soon and it warped my views of sex when I was too young to properly process it, much less do so with the help of understanding adults who could give me context?
I agree that it's bad. I'm just saying that there is no way to stop it without some sort of massive government intervention, and even then it's going to happen anyway.
And you can say the government SHOULD do that, but the government is so split that it never gets anything done.
AI is coming, and I'm sure it's going to continually erode what's left of what we call a society.
Re: Show HN: Netflix for AI-Generated Videos
#54I found voice based AI tools pretty expensive for anything practical (Elevenlabs), how are these videos getting made? Especially the wondercraft.ai one, backed by Ycombinator? Is that through investor money? And is the idea that if there are going to be enough buyers for these AI generated content, the initial expenditure is worth it?
FakeYou and HuggingFace are free.
They are VC funded, they will not be free forever.

#55Congrats, interesting site and I really enjoyed watching the videos.
I found it slightly annoying that navigating back didn't work as smoothly as on YouTube, for example:
When the video is playing in the overlay, the URL does change when you attempt to go back, but the video continues playing. I'm not sure if that's intentional or something that could be improved.

We are building a tool to generated animated videos from prompt. You can expect infotainment style 2d videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUYhiBehAnloAfgA4Nuvk...
Is the tool available to try yet?
Yes. It can make infotainment videos. Connect with me @krznun

#57You need to add padding to the body of the site - hovering over items on the far left makes content overflow out of the viewport on my laptop screen. Great site otherwise, cool UI, love the restraint

"Massive Government Intervention" used to have a much less scary sounding name called "Public Policy" or "The Law" and it gave us all kinds of good shit, things like the highway system, the National Park system, an electrical grid, building codes and standards, a currency that is practically the world standard, on and on. We have tons of things that would not exist without lawmakers who were well advised by experts coming together and putting pen to paper. Was it always good? No, nothing human made ever is. But their track record beats Silicon Valley's output by MILES.
> AI is coming, and I'm sure it's going to continually erode what's left of what we call a society.
Yeah and the frustrating thing is everyone working on it seems to believe this to one degree or another, and yet they're all still building it.
If you think a technology is fundamentally corrosive to society, then STOP BUILDING IT.
If you think your product will further the divides between people for profit, STOP BUILDING IT.
Like YOU CAN THINK. You can choose what to do based on what you believe will lead to a better tomorrow. Maybe if you did more of that and less soullessly chasing whatever some rich asshole wants you to build for a bag of money you'd be both A) more personally fulfilled and B) not furthering the collapse of civilization in your children's lifetimes you absolute cretins.

Yeah I'm sure there was a legion of corporate whining when they said the same thing about banning children working in coal mines. We'll adjust.
> It's also the government insisting that they can know whats good for you better than you can.
I mean most AI researchers seem at best unsure about the technology they're building. That being said, I don't know if AI is bad for us long term, but I know damn well AI driven by profits is terrible for us right now and I'm cool with banning that for eternity.
> All of your complaints may be valid but you are living in some sort of fantasy land if you think that is going to happen. That's just not the way the world works.
Just because you can't imagine a better world doesn't mean everyone else can't.
