bobbyallynStatement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI situation. Wow:
Scarlett Johansson says she is 'shocked, angered' over new ChatGPT voice https://www.npr.org/2024/05/20/1252495087/openai-pulls-ai-voice-that-was-compared-to-scarlett-johansson-in-the-movie-her
In response, @sama has now issued a statement saying "Sky is not Scarlett Johansson's, and it was never intended to resemble hers." (1/2)
"We cast the voice actor behind Sky’s voice before any outreach to Ms. Johansson. Out of respect for Ms. Johansson, we have paused using Sky’s voice in our products. We are sorry to Ms. Johansson that we didn’t communicate better," @sama wrote. (2/2)
Shankar@bobbyallyn OpenAI is very unethical. I can't believe how quickly they have risen and how much people gloss over OpenAI’s ethics.
Tanguy ⧓ Herrmann@shankarux @bobbyallyn yep. This Sam freaks me out. So delusional.
Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈@dolanor @shankarux @bobbyallyn Time and time again Sam Altman has shown us that 'Consent' isn't a concept in his supposedly massive brain.
@Lazarou @shankarux @bobbyallyn I have 0 difficulty in believing his sister on sexual assault, somehow. 🤮
@dolanor @shankarux @bobbyallyn yep, that is always in the back of my mind when thinking about Sam Altman

@[email protected] I knew she was a badass.
This iteration of "AI" hype is not gonna last as long as crypto. That's my prediction. We'll see if I'm right.
Both hype cycles use obfuscation and technical abstruseness to flimflam suckers into thinking that the tech is more revolutionary and effective than it is.
But in crypto's case, the supposed utility of the thing was also obscure, with constantly moving goalposts. It was that facet, I think, that gave crypto hype its longevity.
"AI" just doesn't have that trait. Everybody has been trained for decades on what "AI" is supposed to do, and what it's utility is supposed to be.
That it falls hilariously short of those goals will not long be lost on all but the dumbest fucks.

@bobbyallyn @joesteel Of all people to rip off and fuck with. Sam just figured he could most fast and break the law. Disney found out it couldn’t fuck with Scarlett. And now Sam found out.
riwoche རེ་ཡོ་ཆེ་Excellent reporting by the great @bobbyallyn! Tech CEO friend writes: "cat's out of the bag"; meanwhile, a carousel of replies from Bluesky:
Christian Kent 𝘊𝘒 :＼﹥@bobbyallyn @tcook That movie chose well to hire her. It’s still paying off.
acemaxxsome #celebrities with lucid hubris
Acts like the world revolves around them ...
Pēteris Krišjānis@bobbyallyn some true tech bro he is. Absolute worst.
Piškvor🇨🇿 🇺🇦@bobbyallyn The Large Scale Automatic Plagiarism Machine did WHAT now?
The Mouth of Jim"Do you mind if I use your body?"
"Yes, I mind."
"Oh, but I really want to use it for something cool."
"Well, you don't have my consent."
"Okay, but I'm going to use it anyway."
Nail this creep to the wall.

Vicente@bobbyallyn @CrackedWindscreen This lady sued Disney and won. What did OpenAI thought was going to happen?
Andrew Clews@vinc @bobbyallyn 100%, but when your business is built on the arrogance of stealing the world's data, what's one more person's stuff matter?
