“All our invention and progress seems to result in endowing material forces with intellectual life, and in stultifying human life into a material force.”

—Karl Marx, 1856

OpenAI previews voice generator that produces natural-sounding speech based on a 15-second voice sample

The company has yet to decide how to deploy the technology, and it acknowledges election risks, but is going ahead with developing and testing with "limited partners" anyway.

Not only is such a technology a risk during election time (see the fake robocalls this year when an AI-generated, fake Joe Biden voice told people not to vote in the primary), but imagine how faked voices of important people - combined with AI-generated fake news plus AI-generated fake photos and videos - could con people out of money, literally destroy political careers and parties, and even collapse entire governments or nations themselves.

By faking a news story using accurate (but faked) video clips of (real) respected and elected officials supporting the fake story - then creating a billion SEO-optimized fake news and research websites full of fake evidence to back up their lies - a bad actor or cyberwarfare agent could take down an enemy government, create a revolution, turn nations against one another, even cause world war.

This kind of apocalyptic scenario has always felt like a science-fiction idea that could only exist in a possible dystopian future, not something we'd actually see coming true in our time, now.

How in the world are we ever again going to trust what we read, hear, or watch? If LLM-barf clogs the internet, and lies pollute the news, and people with bad intentions can provide all the evidence they need to fool anyone into believing anything, and there's no way to guarantee the veracity of anything anymore, what's left?

Whatever comes next, I guarantee it'll be weirder than we imagine.

Here's hoping it's not also worse than the typical cyberpunk tale.

PS: NEVER ANSWER CALLS FROM UNKNOWN NUMBERS EVER AGAIN

...or at least don't speak to the caller. From now on, assume it's a con-bot or politi-bot or some other bot seeking to cause you and others harm. If they hear your voice, they can fake it saying anything they want. If it sounds like someone you know, it's probably not if it's not their number saved in your contacts. If it's about something important, hang up and call the official or saved number for the supposed caller.

AI generated 24/7 stream of fake Jimmy Neutron episodes: Jimmy. I am Jimmy. Fuck! I need to go, the house is for sale! Help! I am Jimmy! Fuck! Sean is buying dinner. Hello! Fuck!

World's Smartest Man: This is so wild and kind of scary. The boundaries between human thought and machine grow smaller every day. I can't tell this apart from my daughter's face

All of a sudden I'm being metaphorically displaced in time—back to approximately 15 years ago—to when "likes" were a new concept on the internet, associated only with Facebook and Youtube (idk which had it first) and looked at with disdain.

"Doing it for likes" was so cringe, you guys. It wasn't just not based, it was not normal. Everything has likes and votes and ratings now, it's legitimized, it's a business model... this wasn't always the norm! Sometimes I come across a comments section somewhere on the internet that doesn't have any little buttons to press and I'm left reeling for a second, jolted out of the hazy semiconscious cycle of consumption and shallow acknowledgement.

It's all being turned into a game. All of human communication, knowledge and creativity slowly being simmered down into a sea of shitty mobile games. With microtransactions.

Extra cyberpunk resources are always nice to have.

It's not the worst reason that it's sad that society's falling apart in big, ugly, everything-is-rotten ways, but one way that it's sad is that it's making it less fun to read about how society's falling apart in small, Danny McBride science-fiction double feature, brain-zappy ways.

I like feeling like I'm surrounded by crazy people hurtling through the void in a dying empire in a fun, hijinx-y way, not in a constantly-depressing and increasingly frightening "I will never get to be in the Scream franchise if I start talking about this" ways, and these are hard days for that. Not the worst thing going on, it's (very) low on the list, but the doomscrolling is getting awfully doom-y lately.

Anyways: Johnny Mnemonic over here used the AI to have the principal say racist and anti-semitic things, plus threaten murder, all so he could supposedly stop the principal from investigating a $1,900 payment that went to his roommate, the school's JV basketball coach. (X)
