Nvidia's newly revealed "Fugatto" model looks to go a step further, using new synthetic training methods and inference-level combination techniques to "transform any mix of music, voices, and sounds," including the synthesis of sounds that have never existed. While Fugatto isn't available for public testing yet, a sample-filled website showcases how Fugatto can be used to dial a number of distinct audio traits and descriptions up or down, resulting in everything from the sound of saxophones barking to people speaking underwater to ambulance sirens singing in a kind of choir.

The NYT apparently spent more than 150 hours extracting training data, while following a model inspection protocol that OpenAI set up precisely to avoid conducting potentially damning searches of its own database.

Chicago scrooges who take public transportation may be unable to avoid holiday cheer in the coming weeks. CTA’s decked-out holiday bus is hitting the road Tuesday, and its dazzling holiday train will start ferrying customers across the city on Friday. Themed CTA vehicles have been spreading holiday cheer across the Windy City in some shape or form since 1992, when a sign with the phrase “Season’s Greetings from the CTA” was put on the front of an out-of-service Blue Line train used to deliver food to charity, according to the CTA.
