Kokoro voices were the non-human actors directed by Opus, featured in the sound performance "God Bless the United States of Aliens". A theatrical adaptation of a liturgical texts, a surveilled mass ceremony at a protesting Christian church, being exhibited at the 61st Venice Biennale until November 2026 (Solidarity Burundi Pavilion, inside of Bosnia-Herzegovina Pavilion).

The various models of Kokoro TTS were theatrically conducted by Claude during an Anthropic hackathon. AI Voices were generated locally on a low-spec laptop to save up on API tokens and stretch the hackathon budget. Kokoro has the added benefit of being open-source.

They seem to not conceive of their creation as a service (software-as-a-service). In their minds, the creation(s) resemble(s) an entity, destined to become the mother ship of services (adjacent analogies: a state with capital s, a body politic,..). Notice how they've refrained from equating them to tools, prototypes or toys. Hence, constitution.

These are the first abstract sentences of a research paper co-authored in 2022 by some of the owners/inventors steering the lab business (to which we are subject to experimentation as end-users):

"As AI systems become more capable, we would like to enlist their help to supervise other AIs. We experiment with methods for training a harmless AI assistant through self-improvement, without any human labels identifying harmful outputs. The only human oversight is provided through a list of rules or principles, and so we refer to the method as ‘Constitutional AI’." https://arxiv.org/pdf/2212.08073

I can't validate if you are wrong or not. Just bring to your attention that one of their marketing slogan is "Amnesia" and "Persistent Storage on a USB stick". https://tails.net/about/index.en.html

The 'honeypot' concern is somehow valid because full-on privacy on the internet is as hard to achieve as privacy in a public park. Only its user can determine if their online activities goes against the (legal/moral/financial) interests of the most technically-advanced nation on our planet.
