Why not store everything in a single json column but dynamically generate index files, so finding rows is fast?

Then you never have to change the data. Only the index files.

Why do you object to the term "species"?

It seems pretty capable of producing variations of itself. If these variations improve over time and roam earth - what is in your definition of "species" that is not met?

Isn't AI just the next step in the history of evolution?

I have the feeling it is inevitable that a new species will take over Earth. Just as humans took over a hundred thousand years ago. Now a species even more capable of thinking is coming up.

Thinking a million times faster. Knowing a million times more. Able to wrap its head around a million times more aspects at the same time.

A strong effort to slow it down might slow it down a bit. But does that really make a difference? It's not like we can "brace" ourselves from what is coming. Would the apes have been able to prepare for the arrival of humans if they had had 5 more years?

Why would AI wipe us out?

We have not wiped out apes, ants, and most other species.

We even have discussions about how to actively save them from extinction.

I actually can relate to AI music better than to music made by humans.

I always feel some jealousy when listening to rockstars. Because they get all the action and I get so little. They see the world, are desired by all the beautiful women, earn a ton of money and don't have to work a boring job.

With AI music, I know it is just some lonely GPU in a cold, dark datacenter somewhere. Crunching numbers. Just like I do.

When running a test all I see is:

    Error loading video
    Please try refreshing the page

No matter how often I refresh, that is all I get.

Maybe you need more QA?

When I open my browser console, I see this:

    Capturing error: Error: WHEP request failed: 500 - {"message":"\"message\" is required!","error":"Server Error"}

Apart from the "warfare" aspect, it is an interesting question whether the combination of "The man is attractive because of money" and "The woman is attractive because of her looks" can work.

When I look at instances in my social circle, it seems like it doesn't really work. The relationships typically seem to suffer from a lack of mutual interests. The woman's beauty quickly dwindles as time passes. And the woman feels like she is missing out on a "real life" because all she does is be at the side of the man, instead of building her own career. The attraction of the man seems to dwindle quickly too. I know a few such couples, where the man told me that their sex life is dead, even though he wished it were different.

What that tells me is that to work on your attractiveness, working on your career is not the way to go.

From 1994 to now, it only goes from 50 to 109?

That looks like the "inflation" the government wants you to believe in.

Name one thing that only doubled in price over the last 30 years.

Even gold (which has its own inflation) went up in price 10 fold.

If it follows redirects, have you tried redirecting it to its own domain?

How do you set the voice?

On the Huggingface demo, there seems to be no option for it.

It has a female voice. Any way to set it to a male voice?

Can you link to that comment? I don't see a mention of "Claude" anywhere in this thread. Also nobody here showed they were able to "do this" yet.

As I said in my original comment that started this thread, I don't use any server side tech. So there is no "npm package". I am only using a browser.

I have tried that a bunch of times and a bunch of ways and did not get ffmpeg to work.

It might have to do with these two strange comments at the top:

    // import { FFmpeg } from '@ffmpeg/ffmpeg';
    // import { fetchFile, toBlobURL } from '@ffmpeg/util';

The rest of the code seems to assume "FFmpeg", "fetchFile" and "toBlobUrl" are somehow magically available. Neither me nor any LLM have yet managed to get these into existance.

He said it is a matter of copy+paste, not work.

I don't think so as I did not get it to run. And if he really can accomplish it with copy+paste, why wouldn't he demonstrate it?
