Author here. The FaceTime is a reference to the J Cole lyric in the footnotes.
I actually dug up a video from a class project when I was 20 and created a voice clone in ElevenLabs (and also gave it current voice samples with prompts to make it sound younger), but hearing it didn’t add anything to my introspective experience, so I stopped before creating a video clone in Tavus/HeyGen/Simli to do a call via Pipecat/Daily.
It's easy to talk yourself out of doing things when you know a little too much. Sometimes, it's good to get back into the mode where you knew nothing and do things for their own sake, just to get the engine started again.
