Found it in a cross post: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06668-3

Its a transformer, someone fire the journalist. Still, interesting stuff

Anybody have a link to the paper? The article strikes me as a used car salemans trying to sell me a journal. Mostly what I'm getting is new reinforcement learning technique catered to language? But what model architecture? Is it new? I'd like to know

Maybe a bit late, but I've worked on this kind of functionality. I did not work on the algorithm, but the guys who did say:

  • Voice print data is not enough to reconstruct the voice
  • There is an input validation step specifically to detect TTS, so you may have trouble. EDIT nvm I read TTY wrong lol, still interesting they check for this

This is of course based on trust, but these are the claims.

Ah, that makes sense. Most cloud providers have the full nine yards with online hardware provisioning and imaging I forgot you could still just rent a real machine.

Hmm, wonder if there was some reason they didnt just extract the original certificates from the VPS if it was actually the hosting provider, I mean even with mitigation it should be sitting in a temp folder somewhere, surely they could? Issuing new ones seems like a surefire way to alert the operators, unless they already used Let's Encrypt of course.

Like others have said, practice is key, however I'd like to add that you should not feel too discouraged if it feels like you're making no progress. You're probably making more headroom than you realize. At least personally in programming more than anything else I have occasionally only seen results after I came back to a concept I gave up on learning.

spoiler
Do be aware of getting stuck in local minimum though. I know it probably feels like bad advice but I figured I'd give it since it helped me personally, so maybe it might help someone else.

?? Literally the entire purpose of the transformer architecture is to manipulate text, how is it bad at that? Am I misunderstanding this? Summarization, thematic transformation, language translation etc are all things AI is fantastic at...
