Today the International Committee of the Fourth International inaugurates Socialism AI, a transformative application of advanced technological development to the political education and mobilization of the international working class.
I have not read the article yet but i think this is a good topic to discuss here.
We’ve looked at integrating TTS natively onto our pages previously but it’s not great. Firefox had an API to use the rudimentary pre-installed voice packages but apparently they are deprecating it and it’s unsure if it’ll work for everyone.
And of course since we change the content sometimes, having a static TTS file means we need to recreate and reupload it every time we make an edit. Very costly if we start looking at AI TTS voices, unless we are able to start running some on our server locally.
You could totally have a choice of voices such as Lenin, Stalin, anyone for whom we have voice recordings basically lol. And yes neural networks are especially good at TTS and even different languages, it’s one of the first things they perfected - it’s pretty surreal listening to yourself speak perfect Chinese or Danish in your own voice and shows that we are not so different after all from each other.
The first time i saw this was when watching cpt traore speak perfect english and only later discovering that he does not speak english, at the very least at that level.
That was when I first thought “this might actually help us A LOT.”
But the most cruel thing will be when you’re discussing something on grad and you can just do cite and !stalin to have an llm use original works of stalin to analyze the quote for its truthfulness and theoretical quality.
Edit: or maybe just @stalin to get the bot to respond. That would be awesome.
