@cR0w markov generator + voice synth to make the input more colorful

@cR0w You could also ask one alexa thing to read the bible and make another alexa thing listen to it.

@cR0w My hobby is to confuse Google. It’s now completely wrong about where I live and work and travel and that amuses me a lot. 😀

@cR0w I'm actually thinking about firing up a website if there is a client-side synthesis app so the costs would be distributed

@buherator @cR0w

algernon looks at the tts crate, looks at iocaine

Maybe I'll have another weekend project. Neighbour has an Alexa device, so we can even take it for a test drive, and see what happens!

I did not need another weekend project. But thank you for the idea nevertheless! :P

@algernon @cR0w hey, it seems browsers have a text2speech api built-in these days:

https://codepen.io/matt-west/pen/DpmMgE

this actually seems easier than I thought!

@buherator @cR0w Amazing. Then I can do it with... a template, and a bit of JavaScript, and headphones over Alexa.

Point the browser to a maze, let it talk, JS visits a random link on the same page, repeat forever! Damn, this sounds funny.

Too funny. Will deploy tomorrow! :D

@cR0w Next to a Raspberry Pi running a minimal LLM trained on the works of Shakespeare and Allan Poe plugged to a speaker whispering to Alexa could have potential.

@cR0w Eventually it will become standard, as an OS image to install on a Raspberry Pi: BBGOS – the background babble generator OS, designed to cast a cloak of anonymity on your conversations.

@cR0w @buherator Proof of concept deployed at https://poison.madhouse-project.org/

Click the "Read me this garbage!" link, and it will read it with a random voice (preferring an English voice, if available), and will advance to a random link when done. It does not continue reading after advancing, though, but I will make that work in a bit, too. (Update: now it continues reading after advancing to the next page)

This is hilarious.

@cR0w TTS the Library of Babel! Which, thinking of that story now in this interesting period of time, seems quite appropriate.

@cR0w nah, a Python script and AI that automatically generates gibberish commands. Gotta make it use up some processing power on Amazon's side trying to untangle the commands

@cR0w I got a free nest mini I still use as a voice announcer box for my home assistant instance. The condition of using it is neutering the microphone MEMS on the board. There were 3 microphones on the board that I cut the traces to.

The placebo switch for disabling the microphone traces directly to the CPU, so call me skeptical that it actually did anything in regards to muting the microphones

@cR0w I have some microscope closeups of the MEMS somewhere around here...

@cR0w a box feeding the central AIs with fake voice streams of old days public figures recordings generating only "garbage sentences" with no meanings for AIs to train/process ?

@kajer You activated the "LOL, Privacy?" mode. 😆

@nomad2035 I would love to see it.

@kajer Wait, did it actually talk after cutting it?

@cR0w Not until I sent it TTS commands. Still works great, but can't hear shit.

@cR0w I mean if someone were to leave their Alexa device in a box with a specific singular song playing on repeat - well - I hope they'd Never Give That Up

@kajer @cR0w
Sounds like my one cat.
