If car salespeople do it, it should be fine. Is that the bar?


It would seem that the closer one gets to recreating the look or sound of someone else, the less acceptable it is.


Or, more simply, is it an attempt at deceiving people into believing it’s the actual individual being impersonated?

Impersonating someone like Lincoln in a car commercial is one thing, but it’s another is someone presented an impersonation as their actual voice in a documentary.

It’s also complicated by the fact that the AI voice is trained on his likeness and dubious as if the reproduction is a new creation or something else. Similar to the debate about GitHub Copilot.


Parent was not pretending to be said dead person, though.


I’m Anthony Bourdain’s ghost and I like your comment


We all know a ‘Lennie’ from ‘Of Mice and Men’.


That is what I thought the article was about, too.


The very first startup I worked at used this for a sweepstakes leadgen form to send to MySQL via a Perl script running from cron.


The other cool thing, to me, is you can keep adding cameras and do not have to replace hardware, just add more.


How does Fat Albert eat up hardware resources?

Also, don’t you need to know the specs of the individual container instances before determining it will be resource starved on the host?

I have an off-the-shelf CCTV DVR that supports 4k with up to 8 cameras, but it struggles with more than 4.


I write video security software, and the support logic to manage a single camera is quite low. Whereas the supporting infrastructure for this conglomeration is quite large. I know this field of tech intimately, yet when I see projects like this I ask myself "what are they doing with all this infrastructure? why?"


Well done.


I kind of think that is your subconscious not needing to put a bunch of effort into ‘storing’ recent meals versus prioritizing ‘memorizing’ tools you have used and how to use them.

I have vivid memories from preschool, but, ask me what happened last week, and I will need to check my bash history. j/k


Is this DIA service or an ISP?
