It seems a bit overkill to do this instead of just waiting 10 seconds to click on the little green button, but I suppose this is a viable alternative.

The main difference is you get to use the service without actually agreeing to any TOS. But also, 10 seconds is extremely annoying.

I'm afraid it's a necessity after all the times that my work has been appropriated by companies and TikTokers/YouTubers. Yes, I am fully aware that most people will not read it. But at least I tried.

(I mean, what I was saying is by getting rid of the box in the DOM, you avoid the issue of the TOS altogether since you "walk around it" instead of agreeing to it.)

Aren't we all appropriating the work of Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and others? It's not like Maxwell's equations are copyrighted.

You're entitled to your opinions, but as a PhD myself I'd rather my research get used by people than end up in a copyright junkyard of things people can't use.

Dall-E 2 has customization. You can remove or add things etc. And for GPT you can also specify more details. Only a question of time until you can work with the ai on your art/thing. There are ai models which keep track of context and others which generate a plan of actions. AI is not a blackbox

OpenAI itself is a black box. Until I can reproduce their models or download them myself, and have unfettered access to them, it's just gatekept magic behind an API. So much for democratizing machine learning.

If that's your definition of black box, you need to specify this.

Blackbox would mean in a normal setting that no one knows how it works

I'd argue that there is a rather massive difference between invoking Maxwell's equations to invent GPS and literally plagiarizing my work by using it to broker partnerships with celebrities and subsequently selling my work as NFTs. (Yes, this really happened - I'm not making this up.)

They named their tts "Deep Throat"? Why would you?

It was a suggestion from a Twitter user, and I found it clever.

I am just gonna take this oppurtunity to say: THANK YOU. For your work on the site and the joy it brings. And thank you for not censoring input. Your site is simply the best out there for making characters voice copypastas and such.

Why do you keep it up and burning the money? Can't you continue/do your research without a public website?

>Why do you keep it up and burning the money? I can afford it. >Can't you continue/do your research without a public website? Yes, but the website has multiple purposes. It serves as a proof of concept of a platform that allows anyone to create content, even if they can't hire someone to voice their projects.

Despite others here, I personally certainly think this is admirable. I've played with your models a long time ago with some colleagues of mine and we were all shocked how good it was, and that it was free.

I'm no stranger to passion projects, I have a lot of respect for people like you. This is great stuff.

Is there a way to retrieve a list of all the possible random sample texts? I tried going through the JS, but vue is too confusing for my small brain.

I heavily doubt it's "several thousands of dollars"...

It is indeed several thousands of dollars a month. I can show you AWS invoices, if you're skeptical. Just send me an email and I'd be happy to show proof.

AWS is like 10x as expensive as the competition, most of the time. Have you considered switching hosting providers?

Thank you for the kind words. I know that HN is a tough crowd to please (I myself as well), so I hope that my next update will be well worth working for.

Oh god, 50 shades of SpongePants. The future is wild in ways I never imagined. Star Trek style holodecks in what, 15 years? So, creepy thought: should we be recording audio of our parents, so we can still "hear from them" once in a while after they die? People are going to want to reconstruct their lost loved ones with AI. This project seems to imply you only need an hour or so of audio.

> So, creepy thought: should we be recording audio of our parents, so we can still "hear from them" once in a while after they die?

Wouldn't do it for me. My mother is an artist and makes the most outlandish connections between seemingly unrelated topics on a regular basis.
