I remember a college professor of mine going on a rant about how the world was owned and ruined by “five old white men on yachts”
And I remember thinking, well, it’s probably more that people don’t examine their own actions, it’s not like a couple of people control the world
But you know what

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.
They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.
If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

If you work in journalism: you cannot use machine learning to upscale a photo and still be telling the truth. It WILL lie, even if you don't intend to tell one.
It can only do what it does by inventing details where none exist, which means it will inherently be misrepresenting reality.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

Sometimes I think it'd be a good idea for CEOs to be scored, Metacritic-style, based on how others evaluate how they run a company. I like to imagine it would encourage more restraint. Their incompetence does real damage. You shouldn't have to suffer executives just because you want to be a gamedev.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

Incidentally this is also why your boss and middle management tell you that discussing your salary is gauche and unprofessional, because if most of you learned about your salary gaps you might get mad as fuck at them. The only ones that benefit from decorum and professionalism are power brokers.
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."

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.
