What Happened When I Cloned My Own Voice
What happens when voices can be copied so well they can fool friends, family… and voters?
Staff writer Charlie Warzel has followed the explosion of AI technology with a mix of fascination and fear. DALL-E, Midjourney, Chat-GPT. New leaps in AI tech seem to happen every month now. Recently, he narrowed in on AI voice cloning for a feature for The Atlantic.
He and host Hanna Rosin cloned their voices and tested it out before a live audience at the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival. What are the promises of the technology? And what are the perils?

In Search of America on the Biggest Cruise Ship Ever

Writer Gary Shteyngart set sail on the inaugural voyage of the biggest cruise ship ever built-the Icon of the Seas-in search of the "real" America.

    The parents are doing a great job in a difficult life situation. As soon as I watched this I thought genetics testing for the neurological disorder of Muscular Dystrophy. There are hundreds of types of muscular dystrophy with sub categories of many of these. I myself have a type of MD that was misdiagnosed for 30 years. Science had advanced enough to get a more specific diagnosis. I now have a son that I passed my genes to him and heb has MD. But he is much stronger than I have ever been. I noticed that the boy was stronger than his sister? Stay strong and stay connected to your Dr s I know the dad was upset and stated that he was done with the Dr. appointment's. I know that all of the appointments are frustrating, but it's important to stay connected and use all of the recommended modalities. I'll pray for you to have strength and answers.

    Working with students, for several years, seventh and eighth graders are, on average, 2 inches TALLER than me, and I'm my era's average 5'6" size 6, shoe size 7 female. And these kids are not done growing. Is height being taken into account? Even so, that their bodies are capable of setting a new, higher average is something we might celebrate, as it could be an indication of something overall healthy?

    Yes, we should be afraid of death. Yes, there is a point to life. The answer to these questions are found in God alone, as this man demonstrated. He worked hard all his life at what he cared most about, and for what? In the end, he still dies and will be forgotten like the rest of us. Without God, there is no hope for life after death. And in the face of that fact, life is pointless without Him. If we work so hard in this life just to die and leave everything we have to someone else just to be forgotten in a few years, there is no point. Only in God, who will never stop loving us or caring for us especially into the afterlife, do we have a purpose to living on this earth.

    I am drunk but bare with me: the only way humans can handle infinity is to relinquish all that makes us human. when i was young i indulged in all kinds of vices and depravity because I thought that was the true nature of adulthood but our minds are incapable of indulging in vices forever without succumbing to burn out and dispare. true ascendance is to become something beyond human thought or reason and while that is terrifying in concept an ascendant being cares nothing of what it has lost. I will take that over total dissolution.

    For me, it is sad to see a 97-year-old man not having a clue what is the meaning of life. But it is even more tragic knowing it, and not living by what you know. Acting like a child who doesn't want to follow the rules. Edit: The meaning of life is progress... in every way, for every being, in this world, and on the other worlds. There is no end to that. Someone will ask me, so I let it out for you.

      I was thinking something similar. Imagine living for 97 years believing there was no purpose or design to the universe; when you can look outside your window at a flower or leaf or the sun rising over a landscape of completely different creatures . Not to be cruel but it sounds like he lived in a bubble. But I don't feel bad for saying that because he wrote books trying to convince everyone else that life was meaningless.

May the loving God who extends mercy to those who have been released from prison and are trying to redeem themselves show those of us who have NEVER done anything wrong how much we need His forgiveness. Some of us who condemn others, should have served time in prison but the long arm of the law never caught us. We ALL stand in need of God's grace. Let's help another human being whenever we can.
