Nomadic Warriors for Pritzker @nomads.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I've been watching episodes of Seinfeld, and it has made me curious: could a language model be trained to replicate the voice of a character? So, I built a quiz - see if you can guess if a Seinfeld line is real, or written by AI: chatter-labs.org/seinfeld/chatter-labs.orgSynthfeldCan you tell the real Seinfeld lines from the AI fakes?

Nomadic Warriors for Pritzker @nomads.bsky.social · 08/06/2026I recently got some incredible news: I've received a grant from the Cosmos Institute (cosmos-institute.org) to continue developing my Victorian-era language model.
