FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto politics @lemmy.world•Defiance: CDC directly contradicts direct demand from RFK Jr.5·1 month agoAssuming what he suggests doesn’t legally (or financially) limit what options are actually available to you.
“It looks like you’re not using an authorized Oral-B toothbrush head, for your safety your toothbrush has self destructed.”

Swerve right into that nearby tree!
Reminds me of xitter changing its algorithm to boost musk’s tweets when he took over.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•T-Mobile secretly records iPhone screens and claims it's being helpful.English481·1 month agoMan, that pendulum swing from “the uncarrier” to full blown horrible large corporation. That merger with Sprint sure has made things better for customers, right?
Concierge hospitals give monocles too.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooksEnglish2·2 months agoAh, I see what you’re saying, I misunderstood and thought you were taking about picking a different book. Indeed, for the worst case scenario a mediocre AI voice could be an improvement!
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooksEnglish3·2 months agoYou seem to be implying that’s ridiculous, but it is indeed exactly like that, though it’s not like I’m expecting every performance to be a masterpiece.
It’s also pretty subjective, for example folks either seem to love or hate R. C. Bray. My mother can’t stand the guy’s style, I think he’s okay.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooksEnglish17·2 months agoFor now at least I bet this’ll be pretty mediocre. I’m a big audiobook fan and voice actors have a massive impact on the quality of the finished product. A great voice actor can make a mediocre book fun and engaging, a bad one can make a great book unlistenable. The best do great voice differentiation. As an example I’ve really enjoyed Andrea Parsneau’s work in The Wandering Inn series.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•New RSV vaccine, treatment linked to dramatic fall in baby hospitalizations4·2 months agoAs someone who had a two month old in the PICU for a few days with RSV, this is great to hear. I wish it’d come a few years sooner for us. The little guy is fine now but it was terrifying at the time.
I recall a theory as to why they are evil.
This vaguely reminds me of the song Fish Sticks by The Heligoats:
You were baptized in a river
I was thrown off a bridge
Then I landed on a crab you slept with seahorses
I started having seizures, you started having kids
You found your inner self, I found my inner fish
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto Cyberpunk@lemmy.zip•I enjoyed both games but they definitely have different aesthetics4·2 months agoI finished it, but the whole random npc to protagonist pipeline left it feeling too generic, especially when the first two games had strong central characters. Not likely a game I’ll bother replaying.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•More than 25 percent of people say Chinese-Americans are a ‘threat’, poll finds231·2 months agoThought exactly this when I read the headline.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•DOGE recruits college kid to help rewrite housing regulations with AIEnglish4·2 months agoIt’s cool though because it was done by AI and therefore isn’t political or punitive.
For real though it’s gonna be great when AI hallucinations start hitting regulations and legislation and we end up with bizarre and nonsensical things in the text that no one bothered to fully read (cause we fired the people that’d actually do that).
All I can think of is this scene from the Rejected cartoon.
Here’s some AI slop to definitely explain this in a coherent way.
FancyPantsFIRE@lemm.eeto [Migrated, see pinned post] Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•Have you ever won a giveaway? If yes, what did you win?English5·3 months agoA decade ago I randomly won a Vizio google tv box from a tech site give away. I don’t remember its ultimate fate but I’m sure it’d be useless at this point due to lack of updates anyway.
Sounds like a great application for AI! Oh, wait…
