I've been introduced recently to AI-generated line synthesizers via Youtube. Basically, you can get an AI to create a soundclip that sounds like a person of your choice. This is obviously something people have discussed in the context of faking evidence, but did you know people are using them to have the last four presidents play Call of Duty Zombies?

I was mildly tempted to post the Abby Shapiro deradicalisation meme to discuss whether it's philo or antisemitic, but refrained in the end.

What I find fascinating is that people are now using the same app to have the bible narrated with Joshua Graham's voice.

Yes, the Burned Man from the Honest Hearts DLC of Fallout: New Vegas.

Joshua Graham inspects 10 Colt M1911's in 80 seconds, or one handgun every 8 seconds. The clip is 3:28:28 long, so while reading the Genesis he has inspected 1563.5 handguns.

The Genesis has 1533 verses, the entire Bible has 31103. By the time Joshua is done with the Bible, he will have inspected about 31722 handguns, which is honestly not that much compared to several million M1911's in existence, but enough to outfit a post-post-apocalyptic army.
