Breastfeeding has been demonized in the west since formula arrived many years ago. I breastfed all my children for 1 year and was made to feel like a pervert for doing something natural that kept babies alive for centuries. I didn't know any better at that time and often wondered if I should just bottle feed because everyone in my friends and family group thought what I was doing was abnormal. What should have been a wonderful bonding experience turned into a very stressful time for me. It's amazing how brainwashed we all were when it came to big pharma and its profits. I was bullied for choosing to give my kids the best start in life. The left are saying woman orgasm from breastfeeding. That is a lie that makes me feel sick to my stomach. Only a commie could come out with a statement that evil.

Safe, convenient & for your protection
'The Bank of Russia has just pulled off the oldest scam in the scam-book'
https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/safe-convenient-and-for-your-protection

 

'In its 2018 report, the World Bank said Russian financial institutions were “driving the adoption of a national digital ID system” in the country.

 

The World Bank was particularly impressed by Russia’s trailblazing “biometric solutions,” for example, “the biometric identification platform recently piloted by Rostelecom that enables clients to open a bank account remotely.”

 

The report urged policymakers to create a regulatory framework that would “foster partnerships in the digital finance ecosystem, including the public sector.”

 

The “biometric identification platform” piloted by Rostelecom is known as the Unified Biometric System (UBS). Created in 2018 in partnership with the Bank of Russia, UBS was initially billed as a “safe and convenient” way for Russians to remotely open bank accounts or apply for loans.

 

The bill that Putin signed into law on December 29 paves the way for UBS to be used in all aspects of life—what you might call a “national digital ID system.”

 

What does this mean?

 

It means the Unified Biometric System is the ultimate slow-boil scam; a scam of exquisite vintage, aged in scam-oak and stored in the World Bank’s deepest, darkest scam-cellar.

 

A masterful slow-boil


To fully appreciate how Russians are being slowly boiled alive in a giant cauldron of “safety and convenience,” all you have to do is go back to 2018 when UBS was first introduced as a safe and convenient and World Bank-endorsed way to apply for a loan.'

'The most realistic and versatile AI speech software, ever.'

The sneed meme with Biden's voice:

Ok, this is good!

 

I registered for FREE and got the AI to learn a new voice from a 1-minute sample of Matt Hancock's voice that I downloaded from a youtube speech of his.

 

Once I had this new voice I simply copied & pasted some random text (from one of your posts above, actually!) and generated the audio.

 

There is no facility to download the generated audio so I had to capture the stereo mix in Audacity and saved it as an mp3 file.

 

So here's Matt Hancock reading your post ...

This is the text of your post, used to generate the audio using Hancock's voice ...

 

"Blackrock‘s $3 trillion portfolio’s biggest holding is Apple, but the firm’s portfolio includes many of the United States’ most successful companies involved with biometrics, according to figures compiled by finance industry data company Fintel."

 

I could definitely have some fun with this!!!

It's good fun to play with, but anyone using it to deepfake voices would have to be careful what they are putting out there.

 

I was amazed at the quality of the voice produced by the generator from just a small sample of speech. Combine this with ChatGPT and you could generate all kinds of professional-sounding speeches and presentations from just about any voice you have a sample of!

Oops! My mistake! 😊

 

If you go to the History page you can then select a track that you have generated and there is a download button which will allow you to save it in mp3 format ...

Hope that helps anyone considering trying this out.

 

Note also that the Free version is restricted to converting 10,000 characters per month and allows you to make up to 5 extra voices.

Another attempt, this time using Rishi Sunak as the voice model.

 

Here's the process I used ...

 

  1. I downloaded a 1:56 sample of Sunak's voice from this youtube vid -
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZu94-yedJQ
  2. I used this sample to create a new voice model in the AI Generator.
  3. For a text sample I used part of Sunak's recent termination letter to Zahawi. 😉
    Quote

    Dear Nadhim,

    When I became Prime Minister last year, I pledged that the Government I lead would have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level.

    That is why, following new information which came to light in recent days regarding your personal financial arrangements and declarations, I asked Sir Laurie Magnus, the Independent Adviser on Ministers' Interests, to fully investigate this matter.

    You agreed and undertook to cooperate fully with the inquiry.

    Following the completion of the Independent Adviser's investigation - the findings of which he has shared with us both - it is clear that there has been a serious breach of the Ministerial Code.

    As a result, I have informed you of my decision to remove you from your position in His Majesty's Government.

    4. After Generating the sample I downloaded the resulting mp3 file, which you can hear now ... https://fudgeys.co.uk/AI_Voices/Fishy-Rishi_letter.mp3 [See link posted below].

 

Bloody great this thing, but I've now exceeded my monthly limit of 10,000 words. ☹️

I'm just getting a blank page on that fudgeys Rishi mp3 link. Might be an issue my end though.

 

I'm going to have to read up about the legalities of this. I wonder if you can get away with this if you write a disclaimer that makes it clear that it's just a parody.

Yeah, sorry, it's the way this bloody forum deals with links. If you edit them it still directs you to the unedited version you started with. Try this ...
