How do you know? I’m always interested in a good story and venting it out is good every now and then.

That’s the only thing that came to mind to be honest, I guess hopefully he will clarify.

Heretic

I think he’s referring to man boobs.

Yes

Should we pretend they don’t—assume everyone is arguing in good faith

It’s a though problem but essentially yes. We should only ban because of content, so anything pro-putin would get the hammer but that comes with it’s own problems. It’s hard to draw the line. Is being pro-isreal an acceptable stance (not morally, thats obvious, but ban wise)? What about being pro-gasoline cars? I’ve been tempted many times to assume people bashing EVs are oil industry shills but it’s really just people that fell for their propaganda and not someone that is actively participating in it. For the most part, downvotes do their job but everyone knows those can easily be manipulated as well.

If the news was about pro-AI bots floating around, I would probably be accused of being one because I’m very outspoken about it when it’s a dissenting opinion on lemmy.

I just don’t think it’s a good standard to keep. I don’t have a solution but I think trying to call out people on it will just end up in people calling each other that when ever an argument goes badly. In the end, I view it as a form of rhetoric.

Where in the article does it mention lemmy? As far as I am concerned, we do not have any influencers and we definitely won’t be on the list.

I’m just saying assuming people are bots is a bad habit. Why not just assume I’m a paid shills and disregard my points? See how easy it is and why it shouldn’t be encouraged?

I’d argue they are still most likely just idiots that got wrapped up in foreign propaganda, and not necessarily paid to post on lemmy of all places.

I just think calling people bots and shills has no place in honest discourse and the brushstroke always tends to get bigger and bigger.

It’s a slippery slope to start assuming people are bots or paid shills. Whos to say everyone that agreed with you at first weren’t bots and then regular people came in and commented their own opinion that went against the first wave of bots?

Not everyone that thinks capitalism is broken is a paid Russian agent. I’m assuming that is what you are referring too. Some are very extreme in their views but the most likely explanation is that they are a combination of stupid and mad.

Everyone that doesn’t agree with me politically basically

You are ignoring the possibility of blackmail though.

The community mods were banning anyone challenging their misinformation and deleting the comments. This is precisely the type of behavior that admins should curtail. It wasnt done in the best way but to call it abuse is a stretch.

We shouldn’t let anti-vaxers have free reign just because they make a community, it’s the same for people that champion animal abuse.

If you aren’t able to decouple your personal beliefs from what is right for your cat, and purposely harm him so he isn’t a “bad mean carnivore”, you don’t deserve to keep him.

If you can’t feed a cat a proper diet reflecting their needs, don’t keep one.

We got smarter about it. It’s easier to wash your hands of it if you are wearing gloves.

If you have material with him speaking in English, you might be able to train an xtts model on it and then use that to bypass the elvenlabs captcha but I’m not sure if they give enough time. Although GPU rental is cheap these days, so captcha time is less of a factor.

If anything, the tech is moving quite fast, it will definitely be easier in a few years, maybe even months.

Elvenlabs is currently the best but you can get some very good results with first xtts then rvc as a second pass. It involves fine tuning models and running things with python and notebooks, so requires some know how.

You can explore more models on the huggingface page https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=text-to-speech&sort=trending

Most have a huggingface space dedicated to them where you can try them, here is the xtts space for example https://huggingface.co/spaces/coqui/xtts

The language adds an other layer of difficulty, I would try their demo first to see if it gives anything workable but it isn’t a language current tts software cater too, it doesn’t seem to be an available option on xtts sadly.

That’s funny because I was going to bring him up and decided not to. I think it’s insane he got off and what he did was very much murder as well, he knowingly and needlessly put himself in a dangerous situation as to warrant his use of a deadly weapon. There’s some similarities between the two cases in that regard imo.

She put herself in a position where she needed to use it if that’s what happened. Going to the police or literally not going to his house and doing anything else would have offered her the same protection.

Guns are suppose to be a last resort, she used it as her first.

On top off that she burned down the house most likely to hide evidence and then lied about her part in the murder.

She first said another women shot him and she didn’t know him, then she said she didn’t remember, then finally the account you mentioned.

It was also a gun that she brought to his house, it’s hard to pretend it was just a lucky coincidence.

That’s the thing though, I dont’t think it had failed her. Not only was it in the process of dispensing justice, but it wasn’t even doing it at her request since it seems she never reported him. The justice system isn’t failing when it’s being ignored by the victim.

We are entitled to justice but that doesn’t entail killing folks on a whim when it feels justified. We have systems in place and we need to at least give them a chance before taking matters into our own hands.

I understand your point that not all forms of vigilantism are bad. For instance, I applaud the ordinary citizens that were fighting against the cartels in mexico a while back. I just think in this case it wasn’t justified.
