this exchange in the comments of do no harm episode 4 has been cracking me up for days

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

“They gave consent, it’s legal use of AI voice over” I don’t care about legality and neither do you. You want to play your game and enjoy it guilt free. I want human beings to be able to work in the industry they trained half their lives for. It’s a moral issue. It’s a human issue.

#pokemon some time ago this spot went from having 3 spawns to 4… idk if it’s a glitch but traveling, reloading etc has not changed it back The only notable marker I’m aware of that could have contributed to this might have been catching a shiny cleffa there… anyone else who had this happen?

I say this with empathy toward every struggling actor who is just trying to make due: Providing your voice for A.I. undermines everyone in the industry. It is a net negative, that will only make it harder for you and everyone else down the line. It. Is. Wrong.

Been laughing at this for about 10 minutes.

#metroidprime4 Everything I’ve seen of miles is 1000% more interesting than those dudes from other M. Does anyone even remember who they were aside from Anthony?

if you dislike AI and like me you were about to buy the new ANNO, probably worth reading this

Imagine paying for a service to watch AI generated shit that you can see for free literally everywhere you look at all times

Do. Not. Cross. Picket. Lines.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Gross and stupid and ridiculous www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Trump should face every earthly punishment his crimes would afford an average person for as long as he still lives. Anything less where he dies naturally with no consequence prior would be the greatest failure of our entire supposed justice system

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

people hate AI, but they don't actually understand what it is. for example, you know the most famous AI program? that's actually an example of AI! the more you know

I would rather raise myself from the dead and kill myself again than rely on AI to replace even the lowliest of my minions.

Snapcube predicted the GameCube 2 yet again!

This affects you - the audience - more than you think. Because there are no residual payments on videogames, many actors rely on convention appearances as a replacement income. Because cons = $, cons have begun expecting talent to make it through YOU (no appearance fee). You’ve been tip-cultured.

As a direct result of voice actors being treated like a sideshow for decades, it became more important to book conventions than it did to book acting roles. Voice actors are always insisting they are ACTORS first and foremost. Now acting has to share space with “sales person” and “influencer.”

Been long enough now. If she is to be given a name, IMO, this is the only appropriate choice

It’s important to assume this guy huffs his own farts

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on. They will tell you no. They might even laugh. Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

And suddenly my interest in this has washed away

Are we sure Australia’s ecosystem isn’t compromised of demons?

politics rn are when youre playing a social deception game and one of your teammates on the not-hitler side doesn't want to take the game seriously and you all lose and they don't know why everyone is so upset at them

This is a good reminder that --as handy as they can be-- you need to be *very* careful about which moderation lists you sub to. A creator of a list could suddenly turn it into something else entirely, and most of its subscribers would never know.

This is insanity. People are being pushed to the brink, here. The Democrats had their chance to actually stand up to the Republicans, force them to take responsibility for their actions, and they caved. If things don't get better, soon? I wouldnt be surprised to see full blown riots.

lesser of two evils is still really fucking evil.

Oh for the love of Sharing, since I just googled these so I could leave angry voicemails telling these motherfuckers to hold the line Schumer's DC office number: 202-224-6542 Gillibrand's DC office number: (202) 224-4451

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips. If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

this game's Awesome
