    Account restoration or not, this is proof that we should hurry up and get to the point where voice modeling doesn’t need to be done ‘in the cloud.’

    Yes the technology can be misused. However there are a variety of instances where someone needs to have a voice to hand.

    Trouble is it’s more profitable for these companies to pay per use and you can’t charge for using something that’s completely working on the client’s machine.

      To me the main takeaway is that Americans are fucking prudes and it’s causing real harm.

      We already do.

      Its stupid easy, in fact.

      Like. Total time of actual configuration for replacing all the faces and voices in the Empire Strikes back with my face and my voice was like 3 hours.

        Okay, consider my interest entirely piqued. How does it feel watching something like that? You seem like the kind of guy to go have a beer with. That’s a total mad lad move, I would watch something like that in a heartbeat, drop work and all, just go enjoy this absurd result of a gem the universe has bestowed upon us. Even better if it was me in there, not some internet genius I don’t know, but I kind of need to see Empire Strikes back but everyone’s the same guy and sounds the same now
