Decided to put together a reel of a lot of my anime shows that I'm in from the last year. Check it out, let me know what you think!

I want to try to change it up a bit this year, so we'll see if I can sneak in some different kinds of roles for '25😁

AI. CANNOT. BE. USED. ETHICALLY. AND. LEGALLY. BECAUSE. IT. WAS. NOT. CREATED. ETHICALLY. AND. LEGALLY.

FULL STOP!

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out.

Every single one.

Yeah, it was $600 permanent license. I guess they rug-pulled even that from people that paid for it anyways tho...

Connection Open needs to get a little more widely used it seems.

Fucking trash companies, man... I'm so sick of these f*cking leaches...😡

Mike Smith - Voice Actor @kinglowtier.bsky.social · 5d

Voice Actors!

Did Source Connect go full scumbag and remove the permanent license option altogether for this nonsense subscription? I was about to buy in and can't find it anymore. Does anyone else still have it?🤔

See? Just as I said. They NEED you to 'accidentally' onto SOMETHING that can kill the industry for them. AI is bunz🤣

What people don't understand is that we WILL be getting AI "actors" no matter what because that's what corpos want more than anything. We DON'T have to accept this garbage tho.

So, the people/investors involved with the purchase of EA weren't what people are upset about, but AI is the big pain point??

I hate AI as much as everyone else, but seriously... LOOK AT WHO IS INVOLVED IN THIS PURCHASE! HOLY SH*T!🤬

We really are cooked, man. Everyone just REFUSES to wake up...

Humans will always be lazy above all else. Like water, they will take the path of least resistance.

ChatGPT does all of the thinking and speaking for me? Nothing else matters. Brain off 😊

The reason AI is being shoved into EVERYTHING is because the tech companies hope you will accidentally find SOME use for it and then they can just steal it from you because you agreed to it when you used the AI in the first place.

Just let them fail already and go back to regular search engines.

There are NO AI actresses nor art. This is a piece of content they are trying to shove into other pieces of content like a puzzle piece to replace ACTUAL artists. And because AI content is not legally protected by copyright, this piece of content can be made to do anything by anyone. I fear for it.

'AI actress' creator releases statement following backlash from the industry

"She is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work – a piece of art. Like many forms of art before her, she sparks conversation, and that in itself shows the power of creativity"

"Elon Musk did NOT go to Pedophile Island. Due to the classification of Little Saint James as an “islet” by the US Geographic Survey, it would be more accurate to say he went to “Pedophile Islet.”

Yasumi "The World Has Not Improved In The Last 30 Years" Matsuno

"Nearly 30 years ago, the collapse of Japan’s bubble economy engulfed the nation’s financial institutions in mountains of bad debt, triggering a wave of corporate bankruptcies, a sudden and extreme rise in unemployment rates, and stagnation of Japanese society as a whole. It was an era when many were robbed of hope, when dreams were measured by their price tag.

“Against this historical backdrop, I crafted a story. It was the story of Ramza, a young man who fought tirelessly against the entrenched social class system. It was the story of Delita, who sought to take advantage of this confusion and despair to advance his own social position. It was a story of a peculiar destiny, in which friendship and betrayal intertwine.

“And now, in 2025 – a time when inequality and division are still deeply rooted in our society – I offer this story once again.

“The will to resist is in your hands.”

Yasumi Matsuno -- Original Script, Scenario Writer and Editor
