    Vasa? Like, the Swedish ship that sank 10 minutes after it was launched? Who named that project?

    This is why I don’t post my picture online and I never talk to anyone ever, while hiding my head inside a nylon stocking (unrelated).

    Freddie, this is your mom. Look all I want for my birthday is for you to please start using teams new. It’s so much better than teams classic. I alread… Microsoft already installed it for you. Okay honey? And could you also start using a microsoft.com account so you can get financially hooked like all the Gmail users? It’s pretty smart. Don’t you want to be smart like Jonny? Tata!

        Yes I hate what AI is becoming capable of. Last year everyone was laughing at the shitty fingers, but were quickly moving past that. I’m concerned that in the near future it will be hard to tell truth from fiction.

    The “why would they make this” people don’t understand how important this type of research is. It’s important to show what’s possible so that we can be ready for it. There are many bad actors already pursuing similar tools if they don’t have them already. The worst case is being blindsided by something not seen before.

    Microsoft’s research teams always makes some pretty crazy stuff. The problem with Microsoft is that they absolutely suck at translating their lab work into consumer products. Their labs publications are an amazing archive of shit that MS couldn’t get out the door properly or on time. Example - multitouch gesture UIs.

    As interesting as this is, I’ll bet MS just ends up using some tech that Open AI launches before MS’s bureaucratic product team can get their shit together.

    One use of this I’m in favour of is recreating Majel Barret’s voice as an AI for computer systems.

      This project doesn’t recreate or simulate voices at all.

      It takes a still photograph and created a lip synched video of that person saying the paired full audio clip.

      There’s other projects that simulate voices.

        Yep it’s part of it to generate the sound track

        One of the videos show the voice changing in mid sentence

          No, it isn’t. In that clip they are taking two different sound clips as they are switching faces. It’s not changing the ‘voice’ of saying some phrase on the fly. It’s two separate pre-recorded clips.

          Literally from the article:

          It does not clone or simulate voices (like other Microsoft research) but relies on an existing audio input that could be specially recorded or spoken for a particular purpose.
