This is IMHO an impossible line to draw. If an established artist uses a GenAI music tool it would be accepted. If somebody unpublished does the same it wouldn’t. Assuming they can even tell the difference, which they can’t.

You can control some simple things that way. But the subtle stylistic choices that many teams agree on are difficult to articulate clearly. Plus they don’t always do everything you tell them to in the prompts or rule files. Even when it’s extremely clear sometimes they just don’t. And often the thing you want isn’t clear.

Solid MAHA advice right there. Just eat French fries fried in beef tallow, avoid all vaccines, and whatever ails you will surely go away. Medicine isn’t actually that complicated. /s

Wouldn’t matter. The execs of these companies are unlikely to be subject to excessive policing. Systemic bias being what it is.

It’s not incompetence. This is simply not caring. If they had any interest in fixing this they would have. It just wasn’t at all important to them.

It’s nonsensical to call it “zero shot” when a sample of the voice is provided. The term “zero shot cloning” implies you have some representation of the voice from another domain - e.g. a text description of the voice. What they’re doing is ABSOLUTELY one shot cloning. I don’t care if lots of STT folks use the term this way, they’re wrong.

We cannot consider this report unbiased considering the authors are selling the product.

I think that was pretty clear even when this paper came out - even if you could find these sub networks they wouldn’t be faster on real hardware. Never thought much of this paper, but it sure did get a lot of people excited.

It was exciting because of what it means regarding how a model learns, regardless on whether or not its commercially applicable.

(Cerebras is real hardware.)

how long will that be the case?

They have a strange business model. Their chips are massive. So they necessarily only sell them to large customers. Also because of the way they’re built (entire wafer is a single chip) no two chips will be the same. Normally imperfections in the manufacturing result in some parts of the wafer being rejected and other binned as fast or slow chips. If you use the whole wafer you get what you get. So it’s necessarily a strange platform to work with - every device is slightly different.

At least for the foreseeable future (next 50 years say).

I think it follows naturally from speech. People say "order ten thousand" pretty naturally. Big-O notation is often vocalized as "order". But technically it's a a clash of ideas when written that way.

I’m sad SO died, even if they deserved it.
