The ML-enabled voice-theft space is heating up.
Here's an article from presenter Georgina Findlay, who had her own voice cloned and used in far-right disinformation videos on YouTube.
"I was horrified to find that eight out of 12 of the channel’s most recent videos had used my voice"
In the article Georgina also provides some good coverage of the state of 'AI' voice-cloning policy and mitigations.

Not Dead Yet is a fun and uplifting show, the kind of show we need more of. The characters in the show keeps learning and evolving.
Check out the episodes on Disney+ and just like Ted Lasso on Apple TV+, you may need to give it an episode or two before you get pulled in.
I would love to see more seasons being made.
Plastic is easy to shape, cheap to buy and long lasting; making it the primary material of cheap and short lasting products. The solution is to stop buying plastic toys and crap you don’t really need.
However, 35% of the microplastic in our water is — according to https://iucn.org — actually from our washing machines!
Planet Care has a filter, that captures most of the microplastic, which they collect and recycle. It’s quite clever and simple to both install and use. I have my filter and will install it this week.
Please check it out and get one yourself:

Love this shot of the curved underground ceiling, revealing multiple layers of pipes and wires.
