If a recording of someones very rare voice is representable by mp4 or whatever, could monkeys typing out code randomly exactly reproduce their exact timbre+tone+overall sound?
I don’t get how we can get rocks to think + exactly transcribe reality in the ways they do!
Edit: I don’t get how audio can be fossilized/reified into plaintext
That’s kind of crazy! Like, it’s easy for me to understand that those files are only so long and sound has this finite way of being represented. But to then think I could record myself saying anything, then compare bits and see that they already have that is so neat.
