If it's a question I know how to answer but believe it really it would take 30 seconds of searching for a regular person to find...

I'd give the answer but be a bit snarky about it.

In this specific case I am okay with and happy with AI being used this way since the subject being impersonated themself wished to be voiced by the AI. I can totally see why, it's like technological magic that "gives your voice back" and you can sound like yourself from any point in your recorded lifetime you like!

For deceased people I don't think AI should be used to put words into people's mouths for commercial purposes without their permission. When AI gets good enough, why hire new actors for a movie when you can just reanimate Michael Jackson forever? Hee!

I think that's in there but also this report was linked in the article:

Make sure to make the specific term "Computer Ounce", or co. oz.

Oh wow, I already figured that government agents had free access to Facebook DMs but the lawsuit alleging Netflix and other companies getting access to what users say to each other? That's a new one, we'll see how those claims play out. It wouldn't be surprising to me.

If there were non-company people contributing to it, hopefully an open source version can be maintained.

On wikipedia there's some suggestion that methods that involve intensity of toner/ink across a document could be used to uniquely identify a machine but no such methods are currently publicly known (at least as far as the Wikipedia article has been updated)

See my comment

I get ya, American anti-communism indoctrination is involved. Thanks for the treatise. Back to the topic at hand.

One big difference in Japan vs. North America/Europe is that second hand music, videos and video games are waaaaaaay easier to find at reasonable non-scalper prices.

Warner Bros. is an example of a movie company that gives zero fucks to any of the artists producing their movies, not sure what good supporting them will do.

Don't be ashamed! This is a post on [email protected] after all.

Yes the LibDems there are right wing neo-liberals but it's not just corporations driving it. Insofar as I've talked to actual people in Japan whom I know personally and consumed Japanese media this is the basis of how I know what the overall politic is like. A lot of apathy, care about tax cuts above all else, and nationalism.
