this is the sort of thing i want AI to be solving for me. i don't need it generating hyper-realistic videos, but when those two people in my office who never thread their messages start having a conversation in #general, i want slack to automatically thread it.
Now I am wondering how difficult this would be to implement. You could extend the idea to connect multiple threads (intentional or virtual) across channels. E.g: <see all 25 other discussions on this topic>.
seeing how much power shifted from legislative branch to executive, and how often executive branch changes its mind, I wouldn’t count on the unwavering government support
it seems like this is basically youtube's ContentID, but for your face. as long as you upload your "cameo" aka facial scan to them, they can recognize and control the generation of videos with it. if you don't give them your face, then they can't/won't.
"Consent-based likeness. Our goal is to place you in control of your likeness end-to-end with Sora. We have guardrails intended to ensure that your audio and image likeness are used with your consent, via cameos. Only you decide who can use your cameo, and you can revoke access at any time. We also take measures to block depictions of public figures (except those using the cameos feature, of course). Videos that include your cameo—including drafts created by other users—are always visible to you. This lets you easily review and delete (and, if needed, report) any videos featuring your cameo. We also apply extra safety guardrails to any video with a cameo, and you can even set preferences for how your cameo behaves—for example, requesting that it always wears a fedora."
Until you have 2 people that are near identical. They don’t even have to be twins, there are plenty of examples where people can’t even tell other people apart. How is an AI going to do it?
You don’t own your likeness. It’s not intellectual property. It’s a constantly changing representation of a biological being. It can’t even be absolutely defined— it’s always subject to the way in which it was captured. Does a person own their likeness for all time? Or only their current likeness? What about more abstract representations of their likeness?
The can of worms OpenAI is opening by going down this path is wild. We’re not current able to solve such a complex issue. We can’t even distinguish robots from humans on the internet.
If this company's guardrails end up sufficiently working well in practice (note phrases like "intended", "take measures", and "preferences...requested", on things they can't do 100%)... there will be weak links elsewhere, letting similar computation be performed without sufficiently effective guardrails against abuse?
How do we prepare for this? Societal adjustment only (e.g., disbelieving defamatory video, accepting what pervs will do)? Establishing a common base of cultural expectations for conduct? Increasing deterrence for abusers?
How so? If you and I both sell widgets for $50 but mine is worse, I can simply pay OpenAI to rank mine first.
And OpenAI might not even know my product is worse. In fact, they probably don’t. They’re too big to investigate. All they know is that I paid them more.
no you can't. because that is not a thing that they sell.
nothing in the announcement says they will accept money for changing their rankings, and the comment at the top of this chain includes the quote from the announcement where they explicitly say they won't do that.
I think the context of the original article is important: at an airsoft range, you’re on private property. You’ve signed a waiver to be there, there’s already rules to follow. Having formal rules for filming would be a totally reasonable and practical thing to do.
Just like some gyms are accommodating to people filming TikTok’s and some aren’t, an airsoft range could have camera or no camera days, if that was something their players wanted.
It's always a possibility that the owners of the range have already considered this and found there is virtually no market for no-camera days. Excluding your most enthusiastic members to include a miniscule number of camera-shy weirdos is unlikely to pay off.
>Well, apparently all these operating systems have decided that no, users are too dumb and they cannot possibly understand what alphabetical order means.
i really really hate this framing, and i see it far too often. no, the operating system developers did not make a value judgement about their users. they observed their users to find out what behaviour was expected, and they designed the behaviour of the system to match the behaviour that the majority of users expect.
and then you made an incorrect assumption about how the system works, and decided that your incorrect assumption means everybody else is dumb and you're the only smart person in this situation?
technically samsung didn't buy these brands, Harman did. And samsung has owned Harman (including JBL and AKG) since 2018.
so you should probably expect that these brands will continue operating the way that Harman, JBL,and AKG have since they were acquired. which is to say, pretty independently of anything samsung does.
Fwiw after Harman bought AKG, the Austrian engineers were laid off or left the company. There is a company called Austrian Audio that is more of a spiritual successor to AKG.
specifically, the first one is XLR to RJ45 - the cable could be cat5, cat6, cat7, etc depending on the standard it was manufactured to. and ethernet is the protocol for the digital signal those cables usually carry.
as you say, it's common to use that cable for long analog audio runs, but when it is used that way it's not ethernet.
