There are plenty of electronic artists who can't sing. Right now they have to hire someone else to do the singing for them, but I'd wager a lot of them would like to own their music end-to-end. I would. I'm a filmmaker. I've done it photons-on-glass production for fifteen years. Meisner trained, have performed every role from cast to crew. I'm elated that these tools are going to enable me to do more with a smaller b…
We've had Yamaha Vocaloid for over two decades now, and Synthesizer V is probably coming up on a decade too now. They're like any other synth: MIDI (plus phonemes) in, sound out. It's a tool of musical expression, like any other instrument. Hatsune Miku (Fujita Saki) is arguably the most prolific singer in the world, if you consider every Vocaloid user and the millions of songs that have come out of it. So I don't th…
Miku is neat but not a replacement for a human by any stretch of the imagination. In practice most amateur usage of that lands somewhere in a cringey uncanny valley.
No one was going to replace voice actors for TV and movie dubs with Miku whereas the cutting edge TTS tools seem to be nearing that point. Presumably human vocal performances will follow that in short order.

#183I can't quite figure this out: Can you save a generated voice for reuse later? The mlx-audio I looked at seems to take the text itself in every interface and doesn't expose it as a separate object. (I can dive deeper, but wanted to check if anyone's done it already)

That was my thought too. You’d have “loved ones” calling with their faces and voices asking for money in some emergency. But you’d also have plausible deniability as anything digital can be brushed off as “that’s not evidence, it could be AI generated”.
For now you could ask them to turn away from the camera while keeping their eyes open. If they are a Z-Image they will instantly snap their head to face you.
This scenario is oddly terrifying.

I've been using GLM 4.7 with Claude Code. best of both worlds. Canceled my Anthropic subscription due to the US politics as well. Already started my "withdrawal" in Jan 2025, Anthropic was one of the few that was left
Are you using an API proxy to route GLM into the Claude Code CLI? Or do you mean side-by-side usage? Not sure if custom endpoints are supported natively yet.

Yes, the flipside of this is that we're eroding the last bit of ability for people to make a living through their art. We are capturing the market for people to live off of making illustrations, to making background music, jingles, promotional videos, photographs, graphic design, and funnelling those earnings to NVIDIA. The question I keep asking is whether we care to value as a society for people to make a living th…
This feels like one of those tropes that keeps showing up whenever new tech comes out. At the advent of recorded music, im sure buskers and performers were complaing that live music is dead forever. Stage actors were probably complaining that film killed plays. Heck, I bet someome even complained that video itself killed the radio star. Yet here we are, hundreds of years later, live music is still desirable, plays st…
> This feels like one of those tropes that keeps showing up whenever new tech comes out.
And this itself is another tired trope. Just because you can pattern match and observe that things repeatedly went a certain way in the past, doesn't mean that all future applications of said pattern will play out the same way. On occasion entire industries have been obliterated without a trace by technological advancement.
We can also see that there must be some upper ceiling on what humans in general are capable of - hit that and no new jobs will be created because humans simply won't be capable of the new tasks. (Unless we fuse with the machines or genetically engineer our brains or etc but I'm choosing to treat those eventualities as out of scope.)

What happens to lyricless electronica if suddenly every electronic artist has quality vocal-backing? Oh no . Maybe we did frig this up.
On the other hand, maybe we'll get models capable of removing the lyrics from things without damaging the rest of the audio. Or better yet, replacing the lyrics with a new instrument. So it might yet work out in our favor.

I'm in the same boat. Sonnet was overkill for me, and GLM is cheap and smart enough to spit out boilerplate and FFMPEG commands whenever it's asked. $20/month is a bit of an insane ask when the most valuable thing Anthropic makes is the free Claude Code CLI.

Do you even need an subscription to any service for that? Is a free tier not enough?

How would NFTs/web3 help differentiate between something created by a human and something that a human created with AI and then tagged with their signature using those tools?
In a live conversation context you can mention the term NFTs/web3 and if the far end is human they'll wince a little.
This made me laugh far too hard for far too long.
