The tech developed by researchers at University of California, Davis (UC Davis) was trialed with a study participant who suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It essentially captured raw neural signals through four microelectrode arrays surgically implanted into the region of the brain responsible for physically producing speech. In combination with low-latency processing and an AI-driven decoding model, the participant's speech was synthesized in real time through a speaker.

wait, a use of AI that isn't creepy or disgusting!

A unicorn has been found!

To be clear, this means the system isn't trying to read the participant's thoughts, bur rather translating the brain signals produced when he tries to use his muscles to speak.

The system also sounds like the participant, thanks to a voice cloning algorithm trained on audio samples captured before they developed ALS.

Honestly seems like the perfect use of a LLM style AI that functions as a collage mimic. Concatenation baby!

Yes they are? Shame on you for doubting the ernestness of students.

Like having to put back on a damp pair of jeans and underwear I imagine.

Don't be such an apologist for the police, if they let this incredible of a security breach happen, they can damn well run the investigation while people protest, the police have proven in this instance that they are actively making the people they are "protecting" less safe.

Like.. let this sink through your skull here, the agency responsible with protecting our most valued political leaders was so incredibly incompetent that a stranger? dressed in their uniform was able to carry a firearm within shooting distance of a nationally important VIP political figure, discharge it multiple times and escape. This is worse than a failure of police, it is literally proof that the police are fighting against the very interests they claim to be defending... i.e. non-violence, peace, rule of democracy NOT of brute strength and justice.

I am not suggesting a conspiracy with the police here, rather that the police itself are a conspiracy of projecting violence onto suffering in order to justify violence against those who are suffering. This was the inveitable answer to the call of the militarization of the police, I am not suggesting it was a coordinated answer.

No, stop listening to law enforcement telling you to fall in line, that is the most dangerous thing you can do right now, peacefully resist in every way you can which includes not shutting up and hiding out of fear when you are told to shut up and hide out of fear by law enforcement. Law enforcement is not keeping you safe, they are going to hurt you no matter what, your choice is to protest it NOW and hopefully stop it or let it keep happening.

I am sorry but if you don't understand how stopping a mass peaceful protest because of a single act of violence can and will function as a way to delay, deny and depose justice, than I am not going to be able to convince you.

Together we are safe, it is alone each of us, waiting for a terror to burst through our doors that we are truly in the most danger.

Don't wait for terror, create joy now don't wait.

""""""force"""""" the EU to ease its sanctions on Russia for oil and gas

No, the gunman wants you to do this.

Go out to the streets with happiness and joy, drown out the shrill calls of gunmen to hide from the violence, overwhelm it with love.

No, don't let them turn you away with such an easy injection of a fear into your veins, you are doing nothing wrong, you are peacefully protesting.

The only ones mad at Israel in this case are the ones who hate Israel‘s existence and everything they do out of principle.

Literally anyone with a functioning heart right now is already existentially mad with Israel... everywhere.. ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Nothing you speculate about will change that, the only thing that can happen is a massive rise in genuine anti-semitism because centrists and neolibs like you won't have an honest discussion about being complicit in the silence surrounding a genocide and crazy batshit rightwing conservatives then get to dominate the conversation... which is extremely dangerous.
