  • I doubt they are using Johansson’s voice. I expect they need much more studio-quality training data than they would have for her.

    The desire to create a “Her” might be real but explains why they chose a similar voice actress, made Sky the default, and continued to pursue Johansson to some day create the real thing.

    Suspending the Sky voice looks guilty but it might be a temporary action while the legal team considers their response. There might be a non-zero risk of being found liable if there were directions in the voice casting process to seek a result comparable to Scarlet Johansson. You’d want to collect and assess correspondence to see if that’s a possibility, which might take a while.

    No, it doesn’t. Commands could be authenticated using a pre-shared secret. Even public cryptography existed prior to Voyager 1’s launch (by a year).

    Based on the state of computer security at that time I would guess that’s unlikely, but then again it was the Cold War.

    Anyway, just because it is possible it doesn’t mean anyone can do it.

    Some infinities are bigger than others but those are both the same sized infinity, ℵ₀. Same if you multi-track drift.

    Edit: I didn’t read it closely enough, it says “one person for every real number”. Which is indeed a larger infinity. However I don’t think you can diagram that, the diagram is showing a countable infinity of people on the lower track.

    Killing one person for each real number, the train will be killing an uncountably infinite quantity of people in any given finite time slice.
