Joshua just casually walks up to you and starts talking about japanese sword fighting and strategy

[@Scipionyxsam]

He thinks he is Musashi for real. It must be a psychotic breakdown from all those burn wounds.

Yes finally, I heard the Art of War, now The Book of Five Rings. Impressive.

Please don't stop making these. Joshua Graham's voice actor is beyond next level, and renders eveything that is being read so much more enthralling

[@attackmaster519]

@Connor Perrett AI can't come for the coders. They're the ones making it, and not just for other things. The goal is to have ai replace low level coding. It's annoying and repetitive, and I'd much rather have an ai write as much as it can for me. Especially considering a well made ai isn't gonna make the same silly mistakes. The idea of not having to look for the one statement I forgot a semicolon at is a godsend

Joshua Graham's voice is gravel-like enough to make whatever he says always sound wise and deep. And soft enough that you can easily listen to him read out a 1 hour audiobook

[@Lemosa3414]

These audiobooks are absolute bangers. I feel like I could understand any topic explained by Joshua

[@shadowsrants6663]

Next do "the prince" by machiavelli. These aremy 3 favourite, I bought a strategy collection with these art of war, five rings and the prince.

[@SorryBones]

David K. Groff’s translation has a great introduction about Musashi’s life that provides a lot of context about the life that brought him to his philosophy and how he captured the minds of people more than other even more accomplished swordsmen. Did you know he asked for no grave stone or monuments in order to return to nothingness but they made some anyway? 😢

[@eddieharding6788]

I'm pretty blown away, it sounds almost perfect. Are we basically at the point that we can now do this to any book now, using any voice? If that's the case, is this technology publicly accessible? I ask because I'm a pretty big nerd about the A Song Of Ice And Fire books and can only imagine how awesome the audio books would be if each piece of dialogue was read by an AI voice of that character. Is it possible for someone like me with 0 knowledge of AI tech to make something like a multi character version of an audiobook happen with enough work? I'd put a lot of time into having something like that, it would be so immersive and literally hundreds of hours of entertainment each listen through.
