Lol this is great

This symbolic act of protest and solidarity has caught your attention. I think that's as good a sign as any that it's having the intended effect!

You're partially right about limitations, but there's a deeper logic behind why this actually works - via cultural transmission mechanisms.

The ice bucket challenge raised millions for ALS research despite some or many people doing it for clout. Ribbons helped destigmatize amd raise awareness for aids, which bolstered funding support. Their purpose was to effect social change thru awareness and solidarity.

There aren't many accessible ways for individuals to push back against cases of corporate overreach. Lois isn't claiming profile pictures fix everything but rather aiming to build a network of people who wish to push back on cases of corp overreach - a strategic initiative.

Discussions and debates like this, are part of how cultural change starts. Small symbolic acts that get people talking & thinking about issues they might otherwise not consider.

This is great! Nice work.

I made my own whisper & auto-typer which types what you say (forked whisper-typer).

I added OpenAI Q/A and RAG query feature so I could ask it questions (instead of auto keystroke typing) by voice command. For responses to questions, I used Eleven Labs - but even with latency optimized & streaming, it was slow, so disabled it.

I just swapped from OpenAI to Mistral 7b for Q/A querying. Much more responsive. Stoked to explore StyleTTS2 now!

Really glad that I came across your post. Thank you for sharing!
