I previously framed the resistance against copyright as a tragedy in three parts, from anti-copyright to free software and copyleft to free culture and the so-called creative commons. But this fourth act is tragicomic. AI as Détournement.


AI is the recuperation of the anti-copyright critique.

I can officially say, dev talk went well, and I'm on a great path to Senior Engineership. But I'm still very much considering nuking the entire NV Speech Repository and saying fuck it I'm done. Not sure. It's very, very tempting. Just blow it all away and close it, never work on it again and maybe someone will maintain it. But I'm sure every developer has that feeling in a project. It's not that I don't like harsh or bad feedback, it's that I feel like that feedback will always be there, for years, months, when you're making a synthesizer like that, so I'm just on this constant hamster wheel of failures? Sigh. Not sure. That's how it makes me feel honestly.

@startrek2025 this is great to hear. Yeah, improvements come incrementally and not all at once sadly. I want to take a little break but then I feel like the feedback piles up and I have this itch to fix them all. Which is why we've added stuff like TrillModulation so you can make this thing now roll it's R's for 300 seconds if you wanted to (not recommended though.) Stuff like that. People send it in, and that itch really comes back to solve the problem. Whether with or without AI then I persist until it's solved, it's just how I tend to work.

Company gets bought, which is followed by layoffs? I'm shocked, shocked! That has never happened before.
