I am an American and everything I described is factual. Houses today are shit when it comes to insulation as well as lack of trees for shade. Every new development is bare of anything and, since most now have HOAs, you can't even plant a tree to get shade.

If I can put my hand on an inside wall and feel warmth in summer, that's shit insulation.

A simple search will show how badly many new homes are constructed.

How many times someone thought they could put them down only to slink away with their tail between their legs because they were bested by a drag queen.

Or how religious wackos told them they were going to hell because . . . reasons, who then clam up when their religion is thrown in their face and they can't make up excuses why they have a tattoo or are on their second, or third, marriage.

Or people who got carried away at shows and participated.

How a crowd kicked into overdrive at a show because they were having so much fun.

The list goes on.

It is part of PowerToys... a package of supplemental Windows tools, NOT part of Windows

Yet. It's not part of Windows, yet. Microsoft has already borked the right-click menu in Windows 11. Imagine how much more mayhem they can produce when they incorporate this into every Windows install.

Or better yet, have drag queens drive people in EVs to the polling stations on Election Day to vote, and have drag queens give out free water to those standing in line...

That would be awesome! It would definitely make voting more enjoyable. Imagine the stories they could tell you. This would surely make more people more willing to vote if they knew they could have a fun ride to the polling place.

I get the impression that most US homes are very poorly insulated.

Yes, yes they are. The vast majority of new homes, the ones you think should be half-decently built, are lucky to be six inches thick, in total. That is the entire width of the wall from outside to inside wall board. Then, since we can't have thicker walls, we use the pink fiberglass insulation rather than expanding spray foam which has a far higher insualtion value.

On top of this, it is imperative that homes have absolutely no shade of any kind. Every tree must be removed so you have a sterlie plot of land which allows your house to bank and broil during the summer while whisking away any heat in the winter when the winds coming howling from the north.

Yes, there are brick homes, but for the most part they haven't been consistently built for over 30 years so unless you're willing to pay through the nose to have someone built you your brick house, you're stuck with whatever you can find.

It's sure gonna be weird when a dubbed character says "I can't hear what I'm saying over the explosions."

Yes, I'm sure it's perfectly reasonable to expect it to be illegal to sound like a celebrity. I guess that other actress should have her tongue cut out, because otherwise she violates ScarJo's copyright every time she speaks!

Payback's a bitch, though: that other actress can also have ScarJo's tongue cut out, too. A tongue for a tongue: the perfect justice system! ;-)

Then it's up to ScarJo to prove OpenAI's guilt, not on OpenAI to prove their own innocence? You know, as basic lawfulness dictates?

I think you're thinking of criminal law.

Basic lawfulness in a civil dispute (i.e. ScarJo sues OpenAI) aspires to judge based on the "preponderance of evidence" where ScarJo wants to show that it's more than 50% likely that OpenAI used her voice, and OpenAI wants to show it's less than 50% likely.

Despite the lack of need for either side to prove anything, if OpenAI really did hire another actress (e.g. the rumored Rashida Jones) then they'll be able to prove it. And since proving their case will be so easy (if they're innocent), then failure to prove it will make it seem like they probably used ScarJo's voice.

So I think we're in an amusing situation where civil law will result in the opposite of criminal law's "innocent until proven guilty." OpenAI will prove they're innocent or else they'll be presumed guilty.

No one is allowed to sound like a more famous person and cash in on that.

Considering the number of people who make a living off impersonating other people's voices, you're not as smart as you think you are.

Hilarious that there are still people so anit-science that they think they know better than the people who study this kind of thing for a living.

You were in a coma during covid, weren't you? Had you been awake you would have seen/read all kinds of anti-science folks spouting their tripe because they did their "research".

One of the more hilarious items was people saying an anti-parasitic medication for horses and goats could affect a virus. Fortunately for us, many of those people died off.

Both Ozempic and Wegovy are linked to severe stomach issues along with thyroid tumors, pancreatitis, changes in vision, hypoglycemia, gallbladder issues, kidney failure and cancer issues, along with hospitalization. Why not have someone make knockoffs wth little to no oversight? What's the worst that could happen?

Thank you. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who saw the irony in Google thinking it could do better.
