It's shocking how much pictures influence judgment: Without reading much, at first, I thought: Poor guy, maybe he got pulled into something, ... Then I saw the pictures of him in a leopard fur pajama and indoor sunglasses, and with his

Just because something has been done for hundreds of years does not mean it has been scientifically shown to actually do more than placebo. A lot of people do a lot of stuff that has been proven to do nothing detectable, and they still swea

I have to say: After all the talk in the article how the Romanian system makes part of the population perform higher by throwing a lot of the resources at them, lowering the performance of the people that are already below average. Which is

Yeah, it's a typical "startup research post", mainly there to have stuff to show to potential investors and customers.

GPT-4 is not a single model. The GPT-4 that was released initially a year ago is way worse in benchmarks than the newest versions of it and the original version has been beat by quite a lot of other models by this point. The newest version

VoiceCraft, which has been released open source a week or so ago, can do the same with 5-10sec audio and is pretty convincing. It's pretty fun to play around with: https://github.com/jasonppy/VoiceCraft
