There are many frames and metaphors to help us understand our AI age. But one comes up especially often, because it is useful, and perhaps even a bit true: the Golem of Jewish lore.

The AIs we will build to help humanity won’t be fun or interesting to most people. They will be part of the under-appreciated work of infrastructure.

here are my thoughts about AI chatbot safety for those clients that cannot read hyperlinks: https://blindsoft.net/blog/ai.html
#mental #health #online #safety #ai note: this is also the first blog post to use the speech web API implementation, let me know how that goes for you.
of course, for anything, you can contact me on either averlicetech@proton.me or replying to this post

#AI #tts speech synthesizers don't sound robotic anymore, not at all. A bit strange sometimes, but not the emotionless voices we usually associate with speech synthesis.

Morpheus TTS is still rather rough, often makes weird mistakes like stuttering or just making random noises, sometimes using the wrong word, but it is in its early stages. And there's an uncensored version over at Huggingface, so I just couldn't resist and make "Baddy" (the name of the voice model) say:

"Why doesn't the Proletariat, being the bigger of the classes, just eat the Bourgeoisie?"
