    I hope they add sky’s voice back as an option later. I actually prefer listening to sky rather than scarlett johansson.

    It’s not an “OpenAI voice”. It’s “Scarlett Johansson’s voice that OpenAI appropriated without permission”.

      So OpenAI is lying about using a totally different voice artist for Sky’s voice then?

    It doesn’t seem the same to me.

    Apart from the AI aspect, will anyone who sounds like her be sued if they make a public speech?

      It’s not that simple. If they used her work to create Sky’s voice with no consent and the ChatGPT messes up on anything, it may affect her image and future. I think it’s cautionary of her to ask for proof and it DOES make sense.

      @@tiagomaqz The Voice of Sky is not a new feature; it has been available for about a year. Have you tried it recently on your device? Do you think the Sky on GPT-4o is the same as shown in the advertisements? In my experience, the answer is no. The Sky sound on our devices does not even match what is advertised. So, which sound of Sky exactly?

    In my opinion, OpenAI could have found a talented actress who is not a celebrity with opposing views on AI.
    In that case, it would have become an inspiring act as well.

    Another issue that is strange and concerning to me is that privacy laws are increasingly being used to oppose artificial intelligence, rather than spending more time and even promoting understanding of deep learning models. When we understand something, we can better measure or control it.

    We are losing time!

The data center boom is running into serious real-world obstacles, from widespread local opposition and permitting delays to a scramble for electricity. Before those challenges even come into play, though, there’s a more basic problem: A lot of the projects being announced may never get built in the first place. With billions of dollars in AI infrastructure investment at stake, separating realistic projects from speculative ones is becoming increasingly important.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Rebecca Bellan and Tim De Chant are joined by Brent Nelson, senior managing director of markets and strategy at Ascend Analytics, to separate the data center projects that are likely to get built from the ones that may never get off the ground.

It’s been a big month so far for American politics and the tech industry. Democrats deliver a sweeping win across the country, calling continued AI development into question.

Bloomberg’s Michael Ball joins Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway on the Odd Lots podcast to unpack why the tech trade is showing resilience despite macro jitters.
