#gibberlink

Before we all poopy in our pants, let's be smarter than all the trash websites running with this:

1) This Gibberlink think is a product engineered by ElevenLabs, an "AI speech synthesis" company. This is a new AI protocol that can work with different speech-based AIs that they are trying to sell, and this is a demonstration of that. This isn't some secret robot language the Machines invented on their own to foil our attempts to stop them. It is peoppe realizing that computers are digital and really fast, so they can "talk" to each-other in a weird (to us) way and still communicate. So they built that.

...Assuming it isn't fake.

2) An AI would have to be trained to use this language. This isn't some spiritual thing they can all automatically do as sentient artificial people, because that isn't a thing yet. Because they're just programs. Settle down.

3) Yes, there is merit in this, if we're going to live in a world where rich people use speech-capable AIs to talk to other speech-capable AIs used by other rich people. And this crazy modem talk is a more efficient way to do that, given their abilities.

...Assuming this isn't fake.

4) ...But we kind of already have that now. It's called "using a website to talk to another website at the speed of light." Like, that's what the Internet is. Computers already do this. That's what a modem is! This is just a less efficient, performative way to do that.

5) This is a fun marketing stunt, if only because the Dummies are freaking out about it before stopping to think about what it actually is for 4 seconds.

...Assuming it isn't fake. Which it might be.
