"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

"Audiences don't care that much about quality" (wow) then pushing AI slop onto you, charging YOU, is *exactly* the reason why you should never be in the field of "use AI if it means my fav obscure manga gets translated!"

"Every other company is doing it, and charging cheaper prices for localization. If we don't do this, we will go under."
"Audiences don't care that much about quality. So if we can meet the bare minimum and save money, that's best for everyone."
"Have you run the numbers though? Are you suuuuure?"

figuring out in real time exactly how much stupid shit you can force people to do by injecting it into everything in their entire life and the answer turned out to be "not this"
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.
They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.
Only you have the power to kill it.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

The thing about Make America Great Again is that it’s clear and actionable to voters regardless of any prior knowledge, while being vague enough that you can project any idea into it. “Strong floor, no ceiling” is just confusing meaningless rhetoric to anyone who doesn’t follow venture capitalists
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Crunchy Roll ruining their subtitles for a cheaper option that ALSO outsources to people who use AI
literally no one in the actual creative parts of these industries want this. its JUST CEOs who don't want to pay anyone for anything but want all the earnings
