Is there a dataset of recordings of voice agents? I could find @ai4bharat 's HF dataset, but those were of *real* humans. I am looking for recordings of AI agents.

The day after she made this post, she was found dead Hsin-Ju was one of the nicest people I met and made this industry feel inclusive May you rest in peace @hsinju ๐Ÿ’œ
1/ gm. gm. Name is Hsin-Ju. I have a dark, kinda tragic personal announcement. I've decided I'd rather take $0 than accept a settlement that requires me to stay silent about what happened to me. I have since fired my lawyers at @sanfordheisler & will be releasing all the evidence from my time @hack_vc on Wed 8/26. INTRO: I've been in crypto for 9 years. Most recently I was a partner & head of platform @hack_vc which is a $600-700M crypto VC firm. Many of you may know me from my time as Head of Growth at @StellarOrg in 2017 (worked w/ the Mt. Gox founder), @Solana in 2018 (joined under ~10 ppl, but quit before my cliff), & @Fhenix in 2024. Or have attended one of my @DystopiaLabs ETH events (2019-now). Last year, I was forced to work through a serious medical emergency while at @Hack_VC due to threats by @alpackaP @dbulaevsky, saying that they would blacklist me from the space if I quit before finishing the hacksummit conference & side events that I was helping with during @kbwofficial. I was working 13-14hr days, 6 days a week, sleeping 0-4 hrs a night, and had documented Graves' disease, hyperthyroidism, and severe insomnia. I repeatedly asked to quit. Hack VC refused. This + other threats and intimidation went on for almost a month. The conditions got so bad I attempted suicide. The fucked up part is that, even after the suicide attempt, I told everyone at Hack VC (in writing) that I had no plans to sue. I was scared & extremely sick. I just wanted to leave. I told them that as long as there was no retaliation or badmouthing - I had no plans to sue. @Hack_VC chose to retaliate. After just 1 month after my near suicide, Hack VC mishandled my COBRA health insurance, refused to fix things, kept shooing me to customer support (when it's legally Hack VC's responsibility to fix this), and my insurance had issues and was not fixed for almost 4 MONTHS. Hack VC did not fix everything until I hired lawyers and had them force Hack VC to adhere to the law & fix my COBRA insurance issues. The sheer cruelty of an employer harming someone's health insurance almost immediately after they nearly committed suicide is extremely fucked up. And, even during the legal engagement, Hack VC continued to lie & attempt to harm me through their lawyers and other employees/partners (multi-million dollar carry & clawbacks can make even the nicest ppl willing to turn the other way or lie). @0xRodney @IsTheBaron @roshunpatel @Alex__Botte. Now. Almost an entire year of engagement & my near suicide anniversary coming up, our lawyers (mine & Hack VC's) have reached the point of preparing for private mediation and settlement. And...I realized that I just can't do it. I don't want money in exchange for silence. I'd rather speak. I fired my lawyers yesterday. In case it needs to be said, I did a good job at Hack VC. I was only there full time for 7 months; been part-time since 2021. I got a $50k raise to $300k, $30k bonus, and promises of additional carry that would have been implemented about a week or so after my last day. I was also offered admission into the GP entity (but not sure if admission was actually completed bc it was during my medical emergency). This + my resume, should show that me suing is not a money grab; I was genuinely harmed. I'm aware that I'm just one person (who is not rich) facing a $600-700M VC institution. I've been told by @alpackaP that he's known most of the managing partners at most VC firms for almost a decade and he could absolutely blacklist me. I'm also painful aware that the conclusion of this will probably be extremely poor for me or death - but I've accepted it. Sharing with other web2 & web3 VCs: @paulg @ycombinator @500STARTUPS @a16zcrypto @PanteraCapital @dragonflyvc @RaceCapital @hosseeb @haunventures @hiFramework @ElectricCapital @blockchaincap @Delphi_Digital @variantfund @1kxnetwork @archetypevc @shimacapital @robotventures, etc. TLDR; Iโ€™m done with continued threats, pressure, and intimidation. I'm not going to take a payout and allow Alex or Hack VC to walk away from harming me. As mentioned, I'll be dropping the evidence from my case on Wed 8/26 (or before) -- privacy be damned. Support here (or DM) please: ETH: 0x68c10776C5c05Cbf5B4C2318bE02D61B9f06B875 SOL: B7S8TPcWWJXTsmgG8ShoTmy8sNPuJ3Dbmt7z5gLFAveq

Abhijeet Dipke Demands 10 Years in Jail for IIT Director + 3 Crore Compensation for Sahilโ€™s Parents.๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ Q: What do you say about the IIT Bombay student cheating case? Abhijeet Dipke: It wasnโ€™t cheating; it was a mistake. The professor should have waited until the exam ended and warned him. Instead, he caught him during the exam and embarrassed him in front of the class. After the incident, Sahil died. Thatโ€™s why I want 10 years in prison for the professor and IIT Bombay director, plus 3 crore compensation for the family. If our demands are not heard, CJP will protest in front of the university.๐Ÿคฆ

With all the MDR Debate on UPI Transactions .. did a deepdive on my family level transactions on #UPI Sharing some takeaways .. Just to get some context in value terms. Period of April โ€™25 to Sepโ€™ 15 2026 Total Transactions done: 1680 P2P Transactions โ€“ 862 - 51% - No MDR Charges P2M Transactions โ€“ 818 โ€“ 49% Under P2M Transactions: P2M < 2K Value โ€“ 753 Transactions - 92% of my P2M Transactions โ€“ No MDR Charges P2M > 2K Value โ€“ 65 Transactions - 8% of my P2M Transactions โ€“ MDR Charges apply Total Transactions Value done: 28.06L P2P Transactions โ€“ 22.68L - 81% - No MDR Charges P2M Transactions โ€“ 5.39L โ€“ 19% Under P2M Transactions: P2M < 2K Value โ€“ 2.84L - 53% of my P2M Transactions โ€“ No MDR Charges P2M > 2K Value โ€“ 2.55L - 47% of my P2M Transactions โ€“ MDR Charges applicable. MDR Charges @ 0.4% on Non Utilities and 5Rs Flat on Telecom โ€“ calculated comes to Rs 975/- over the 17 month period. This ideally is supposed to be borne by the Merchant โ€“ Letโ€™s assume worst case its passed to me as a consumer as a cost (not a Tax) โ€“ This is the cost I am paying over 17 Months โ€“ or Rs 58/- Monthly at an individual level. I can understand the concerns on Margin pressures on SMEโ€™s or small retailers, and concerns of more cash coming into the system to avoid this cost and lessening of the formal economy โ€“ But cost to a consumer as a concern โ€“ Just donโ€™t get it !!

MDR, as per theory should not be transferred to clients. But practically, lot of business will transfer. So word this appropriately. 1 No charge for individuals 2 No charge for Utilities, Essentials, Hospitals 3 Any merchant charging MBR to customer. Complaint here http://xxx
Your views on UPI MDR charges as a merchant or a consumer?

Are you an entrepreneur looking to build for the Indian domestic market? Seeing the outrage over a reasonable 0.4% MDR on UPI, are you also wondering how on earth youโ€™re supposed to price a product or service sustainably in India?

There are several fabulous AI startups emerging in India. When the these startups and the likes of Sarvam start charging for their services to Indian domestic customers, they will immediately be labeled as crooks! Such is the sorry state of affairs. If you are an Entrepreneur, you ought to be a crook!

Isn't this FAKE? MDR comes into effect from 15th October. Who is charging MDR now? @FinMinIndia @RBI
MDR gets passed to the customers! It is being charged by banks, even if you are a small merchant, by definition turnover above 20 lkhs means MDR. Irrespective of txn is below 2k inr or not.

We donโ€™t have a problem paying 10-20โ‚น platform fees and delivery charges to private vendors like Zomato & Swiggy but we are outraging about 8โ‚น that we hypothetically might have to pay to NCPI because the vendor might pass on the MDR charge to us - Why this foolish hypothesis? - Does the vendor charge you extra right now for paying by Credit Card? NO -Do you know that Credit Cards also have MDR & that too at 1.5-3.5% whereas UPI MDR is only 0.4%

Ashneer built BharatPe around merchant paying for payment infrastructure, then saw the government charge MDR and suddenly discovered outrage. He doesnโ€™t hate MDR. He hates not being the guy collecting it.

Someone has to pay for the infrastructure required to run UPI. Those outraging over MDR today may eventually realise that if the costs arenโ€™t recovered through MDR, theyโ€™ll likely be recovered through higher taxes to fund its upkeep.

Iโ€™m calling bullshit on @rvaidya2000 here. I find it hard to believe that someone as erudite as him doesnโ€™t understand the economics behind this. Itโ€™s one thing to constantly RT and amplify nonsense from racists in the UK/EU. But repeatedly posting doom about economically sound decisions is just getting annoying.

Growing tired of such retards!! Do small roadside vendors charge you more than 2K per transaction? STFU!
All small merchants, road vendors will simply remove their QR codes and ask cash only like its 2016 again. Time is cyclic in India.
