I originally heard a version of this story myself on the podcast Flash Forward. It recently ended (the people involved will be coming up with some new stuff), but it looks at various future scenarios/technologies in a very clear-headed and cspam-approved way.

For a couple of days there was a patreon for people to crowdfund bombs. Naturally people got very upset when Patreon decided that was a terrible idea

I guess if you wanted to be a pedantic rear end in a top hat about it, the difference is whether the flying bits are normally intended to fly by themselves without blowing up, or if you can land the thing/bring it back without it blowing up, which cruise missiles and guided bombs generally cannot do I'm still on team "it's a guided bomb" though

Today I read about a woman with locked-in syndrome who was given a brain computer interface that lets her communicate. She used it to send messages like "I don't even own my house anymore", "I'm so poor", and "I'm struggling to get by". I don't have a link for you because I immediately began screaming "aaaaagh!" and closed the tab.

A lot of stuff that historically would have just been too much of a pain in the rear end to be worth trying to target with more traditional guided bombs is now just totally in play for bombin'.

Are there any “cruise missiles” that can end their flights without destruction? That seems to me to be the difference between them and suicide drones.

Justin Tyme posted:xposting, dunno if this was brought up yet, this ai TTS is drat near flawless I think the industry belief is that TTS expands the audiobook catalog and lowers the cost of entrance to getting an audiobook out there. But true audiobooks, as opposed to TTS narration, are a higher quality and represent a 'performance' rather than a piece of data transformed into a narration. The difference is subtle, but it matters in terms of branding and quality of product produced. It'll probably be that many titles are available on TTS only, many titles (particularly higher tier books) are only available via human narration, and many titles, both are available, though maybe not readily at the same time from the same distributer. Which is really to say, audiobook listeners care A LOT about their narrators and the value they add to the performance. E: I work in audiobooks.

Jel Shaker posted:the other stephen, stephen fry, also has lots of fans who buy the audiobooks just for him There's a ton of narrators like this. I feel like TTS AI is probably capable of producing something comparable / on par with the ensemble cast performances (often with original music) of some big audiobooks, but that's extremely long tail. And at that point, you run into some of the same philosophical arguments/discussions about whether or not generative content is actually art, etc. E: also sincerity/authenticity, see that post pages back about suicide hotline chat bot. The tech is neat, definitely opens some avenues, but might put the squeeze on on the VA/Narrator/Contributor/Radio DJ/News Broadcaster/talking as a profession community.
