*Note, for any researchers doing legitimate work towards mitigation and education on the risks this technology presents, I'm happy to make training data available- images, full body 3D scans etc. Don't scrape content without consent if you want to make a point about consent.
Hey @elevenlabsio any ideas to get a closer match to my voice? Add more minutes of training data or does it just not do accents?

I didn't. They do, so the discussion often reflects that. As soon as my work is treated the way less accomplished white tech bros work is treated I'd be delighted to consider the issue less relevant. As long as they make race and gender part of "merit", it's part of the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Remember I have all the receipts. There's really no doubt that different standards are applied.

Would the first mass-manufactured infinite-Z printer have gotten tech media coverage if it had been brought to market by a white guy?
Would @donttrythis have killed the review (after getting three free review units) for @tested if it had been someone who looked the part or at least knew their place and didn't fight "the wrong way" for inclusion?

Not at all. @sama is desperate to limit the capabilities of AI. Disruption for thee and but not for me. "Move fast and break things" when its artists and blue-collar jobs- but when it's SV jobs, sudden protectionism.

AI "guard rails" are Affirmative Action for tech bros.
Should there be safe limits on AI? Sure. But that's not the only motivation. When your primary skills is corporate doublespeak, writing briefs and maybe the ability to keyboard mash together an MVP software concept for real coders to clean up- you are now redundant.
Let's get serious- does ChatGPT replace Indian or Chinese with H-1B visas and CS degrees? Not so much. Does it replace mediocre white guys in management who don't really have the hard skills but write and speak the right way and condense information for other mediocre white guys?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Here for dude bros smugly basking in the privileges of a US passport.

"Oh what you wanted access to Paypal/Kickstarter/GoFundMe you dirty foreigner? Sucks to be you😂"

So of you folks are completely clueless about how immense an advantage that access is.
Start monolithic tech companies that crush all non-US-based companies in the global marketplace.

Allow Americans- but not citizens of countless excluded countries to profitably market goods and services from said countries.

Profit.
Anyone who said it's "simple" but has not done it as a Chinese national gets blocked.

Guess not

Now let's do all the accounts that reply to this to tell me it was "a joke". Image
"I bet Naomi has a sense of humor over people shit-talking her for being blocked"

Yeah not so much at this point.

Quick lunch (more meat came later). ImageImage
Little artsy outdoor event. The buildings feature various art and design exhibits- actually one of the only legitimate ones I've seen. Very nice work, not the usual appointment-only/Potemkin Village nonsense for visiting media and politicians only.

Shenzhen has an insane housing market because the rich buy up multiple properties and then let them sit empty as investment properties. This has priced almost everyone out of the market (including me) unless their families pay for it and that makes it hard to retain talent. ImageImageImageImage

The whole "Ohhh! I want to try ChatGPT with no safety rails!" really relies on those who don't fully believe in memetic contagion. It's "dogs are lame, I want a pet wolf" but for tech bros. Semi-sentient entities that can eat your face get safety rails- it's called domestication.
We've lost millions of people in three years not entirely due to a biological pathogen, but also an informational one that was sufficiently persuasive and contagious that a large number of people allowed themselves to become infected and encouraged others to do the same.
We already have religious leaders using ChatGPT for sermons- how long before someone ties token award for conversion or tithing to it? How long before it figures out that the fear of physical violence by worshipers has historically had a fantastic conversion rate?
