Striking actor Stephen Fry says his voice was stolen from the Harry Potter audiobooks and replicated by AI

Jump

  • It gets tricky, though. For example, what if the AI was trained on recordings of voice impersonators (with consent)? We may be limited to banning companies from promoting the AI voices as being specific people...

    Years ago, Moes Southwest had a problem like this. Their decor featured images of artists, but it turned out they did not have the rights and were sued. So they ran a celebrity look alike competition and used photos of the winning look alikes instead.

    • US FDA to seek public opinion before banning popular cough syrup ingredient

  • I wonder if this will trigger a pseudoephedrine shortage.

    • What single purchase has returned the most in terms of value?

  • A subscription to the now defunct children's magazine 3-2-1 Contact. That magazine would sometimes include the code for simple BASIC computer programs. Eventually I figured out they would run on the (then common) Apple II classroom computer at school, tried one (a simple guess the number game with a preset answer), figured out how to change the answer and tweak the code, and got hooked.

    Ultimately this led to a degree in software engineering and a job in IT that I quite enjoy, especially when writing scripts or working with code.

    • My AC drain gets clogged every so often. Any trips for a more permanent fix?

    Jump

  • My drain has a float switch. If the line clogs and water backs up, it turns off the unit. I also have a leak sensor in the pan that integrates with my security system.

    A permanent fix would be a larger drain or a backup drain.

    • Harbor Freight charges $1 extra for green extension cords instead of orange

    Jump

  • Might be a nudge to get people to default to orange and only buy green if they really want it to make their stock needs more predictable.

    • Microsoft to Force Web Links Shared in Teams to Open with Microsoft Edge

    Jump

  • I don't hate links opening in Edge, but I loathe the stupid split panel crap. What moron at Microsoft thinks I need a copy of the email,message,whatever that I just read AND STILL HAVE OPEN IN OUTLOOK taking up space in the browser?

    • Please don't try to eat this meme either

  • Why does that pizza taste like glass and plastic?

  • Saw that, immediately reinstalled Firefox, saw the tab bar was still a mess and reuninstalled Firefox. Is there a non-chromium browser with a decent UI. Firefox is a disaster after 3 tabs.
