#32Ah, the old "it's too dangerous to release" marketing move. Why even tell us about it?
Not everything is a conspiracy. It is very plausible they're speaking genuinely.

#33What is the point of them trying to create this? That something like this would mostly be used to create disinformation and create chaos is easily understood before making something like this. Truly irresponsible
At least one good use is for video games where the text of some dialogue is determined when you run the game. For example in a game I work on player chat is local and voiced by tts configured by the player for their character.

#34The classic Steven Seagal “my hands are weapons and I need a license for them” rhetoric. What a crock of shit.

#35weakest link, if they dont release this, someone else will release one. every time someone noble invents another gen ai toy/weapon, they lock it down with post filters so it cant be used for evil, and then a second person forks it, pops the safeties off, and tells the world to go nuts. social solutions take too long to use against the tech, but tech solutions are fallible. to be defeatist about it, there's going to b…
If you can't trust the mail, the phone, or your computer, make them come to your house with the sheriff.

#38I really want something that can do a voice change and match the emotion and articulation of a voice clip that I provide. I don't care (or want) it to be based off a real person and the manners in which they would tend to articulate a sentence. Are there any decent open models out there?

And it's even more plausible this is just a marketing play to build hype. Take, for example, you just made some new super-pathogen in your basement lab. It could kill everyone on the planet. This is obviously pretty dangerous, so do you:

or
B) keep it in the freezer and hold a press release about how you made it but it's too dangerous to share any details.
