AI Thread Summary
AI-generated videos and audios have advanced significantly, making it challenging to distinguish between real and artificial content. This technology holds potential for various applications, such as telehealth robo-therapists, personalized text-to-speech apps that mimic individual speech patterns, and AI-generated representations of deceased loved ones. The discussion highlights the increasing realism of AI media and its implications for future interactions, emphasizing both the potential benefits and the challenges of discerning authenticity. Additionally, resources like Rick Beato's videos explore the impact of AI on the music industry, further illustrating the broader effects of this technology.

Without wasting time, this is an AI generated video of Keanu Reeves.


This is an AI generated audio of some famous people having a conversation.


As you can see AI generated videos and audios have become so realistic in the last few years. It could be very difficult to tell what's real and what's not. It's strange to imagine that talking to a robot on the phone will someday be indistinguishable from talking to a real human being. On another hand, this technology could be adapted to be incredibly helpful. Imagine:

1. Telehealth robo-therapists who never show up to work drunk, who's accessible instantly from anywhere with internet reception for a small fee.
2. A personalized text-to-speech app that learn from your speech pattern to generate audio exactly like how you sound. It could help the disabled or be implemented to boost productivity at work.
3. AI-generated videos of your loved ones who have passed away.

Yes. And it's likely going to get better and better...

Here are two videos by Rick Beato about the AI revolution in the music industry:

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
