The fact that this was a very even-handed, factual take on the CECOT deportations and this was considered a breach that required intervention from the top is going to make me pull my hair out.
How do you defend this choice and call yourself a champion of 'free speech'.

I’ve been in game dev for 26 years and I can’t remember any other time where a specific tech was being insistently and persistently pushed on devs as a group in the public sphere.
Why would it? Cui bono? Why would any given dev have an interest in other devs using tech they don’t have a stake in?

My conspiracy theory about genAI in games blowing up more and more by big companies is that they’ve all got a ton of investors insisting they use genAI tools otherwise they(investors) won’t be able to bankroll em anymore

Maine Coons are great because they're cats the size of human toddlers and when they stomp around you WILL become convinced that someone has broken into your house and is coming to get you, only it's a three-year-old caliby with no thumbs who is dragging your bra around like a dead rat.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.
It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

And this is another reason. False positives of "AI" art is constant in TTRPGs because Midjourney and others admit to heavily training on fantasy art from D&D and M:TG. This is especially true of "AI detector" sites, which are themselves "AI" and can't tell the difference.
False accusations of AI usage can and does happen with some regularity, and it is incredibly disappointing to see. There's one game in particular which got accused of using AI generated voice acting, when I knew for a fact it absolutely did not because I know some of the voice actors involved.

politeness politics has always been a cudgel to beat down victims for not being polite enough while people with power do active harm
At this point even if every single English voice actor came out to say Hoyo treats them like shit, the fandom would insist they were all acting unprofessionally and that’s somehow worse.
If all you care about is decorum and not the wellbeing of actors?
You’re licking an ugly pair of boots.

I'm chatting about this in another server with people and the consensus I'm seeing is claiming Corey is acting "unprofessional" and "Theatric" in the second half of his email.
But the main defense seems to be: "Their CN/JP/KR studios never have this issue. It has to be the EN side's fault."
