We put up a free, open source API for tortoise recently, will be adding improvements to this over time & appreciate contributions: https://github.com/metavoicexyz/tortoise-tts-modal-api

Currently it can't hit timings of an srt file, what are you looking to achieve exactly... I can probably help out?

The references provide plenty of resources and jumping off points. I'm sure it, or some similar resource will grow quite quickly.

Ouch. Hard pass. If you're advertising on reddit, you need the elevator pitch for reddit.

Do you own https://github.com/jbilcke/web4? If not this whole post should be deleted.

The new empowered version… Clitty.

I don't think so. Even Amazon a company that profits directly from Alexa is walking back from the assistants market.

If people all started to talk to their machines at the office the noise and confusion would be unbearable.

Voice control really only works in private settings. In your home and in your car. Anywhere else it won't be generally useful or practical.

Haha, or hyperinflation takes off and they pay it back with spare change in like 7 years

You can find it on amazon for cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Neurocomputing-Foundations-Research-James-Anderson/dp/0262510480

I second that it's a great book! it covers stuff until the late 80s and has very nice commentary on various foundational papers until then (McCullough and Pitts, Hebb, the Perceptron, Adaline, Neocognitron as well as Hopfield's works). The earliest paper it includes is actually from 1890 (!) and is by the psychologist William James who framed the mind as a kind of input-output machine.

There is a version out there with a cool cover depicting a neuron on a circuit board.

I remember MS Bob. I was a teenager when it was running on a demo PC at a local shop... I enter wrong password, enter wrong password, bang it pops up, "it looks like you forgot your password, would you like to change it?", Of course I clicked [yes].

If they can revive Cortana on the mobile phone, that would be great!

You may not publish your dataset but you should:

1. benchmark on a public dataset

2. benchmark other approaches on your private dataset

Put on your big boy pants, MS. No on else is giving these guys 10B and a GTM strategy.

We are not prepared....

I was going to link it, but the search results are amazing. I remember getting that in an email back in the 90’s.

Edit: I remember when I had to click on “just write the document without help” on nearly every document.

Gotcha. My brain skipped over the "self-post" part.

Oh Lord no

You are right that the trend is for costs to go down. It was originally reported that it took $12M in compute costs for a single training run of GPT-3 (source).

H100s will make a significant difference and all the optimization techniques. So I agree prices will drop a lot, but for the foreseeable future, still be out of reach for mere mortals.

Locally will not cut it unless you have a high performance computer with lab grade GPUs for inference. The reason the AI models are so expensive to use is because they are actually pretty expensive to run. They are running probably 2 parallel versions of the model on a single a100, and have likely duplicated this architecture 10,000 times. And an a100 is 10 grand used, 20 grand new. You can also rent them out for about $2 per minute.

Probably, but they'll probably give it a really shitty UI or mess something else up. Gotta keep the partner network paid to clean up UX 😉

ChatGPT could probably already do these things out of the box, for free.

OpenAI is not going to close shop any time soon. Not sure if you know this, but Microsoft has been making huge investments into them, and has licensing rights to the GPT models. So Microsoft is pretty much the one who is serving the APIs, and they are right now looking into making another 10-billion-dollar investment into OpenAI.

No, you can edit your original post and place it in there:

> OpenAI must be super confident about the generality of their AI and Microsoft product integration.

<-- add your link here.

> During weekdays, if you'd like to share a link, place it in a self-post and provide some context.

everyone's scaling back assistant efforts, though, and cortana is basically dead, so, interesting idea, but i don't think so.

500k, actually (per MosaicML). Will likely drop to 100k soon with H100s being several times faster. Would probably be even lower if you added every efficiency gain currently available.
