And, let’s be honest, future mayor. There’s no way a Republican is gonna win NYC.

I think it'd be hilarious if Boomhauer was King Kai. Like, Hank goes to him for training, and can't understand him.

Exactly.
Ted Sarandos (head of Netflix) once swore that Netflix was never gonna get involved in producing original movies/shows.
And hey, I'm sure he genuinely meant that at the time...but that's just the thing, people change their minds. Hence the need for laws and contract regulations.

I agree with Alex, that optimism isn’t dumb, it’s logical. I don’t mean this as an insult towards the previous NegCom at all, but this strike really went *so* much better than the last one—in large part because of what we learned from the last one. I believe the same logic will apply going forward.

I'm gonna disagree ever-so-slightly. I wouldn't say "Never meet your heroes," but I would say, "Remember that your heroes are human." Which is another way of saying that, at a bare minimum, they will have said or done *something* you don't like...and at worst, they could be not-so-great people.

Interestingly, I’ve seen a lot of audition specs request that the levels be (what I would consider) *oddly* quiet. Often in games, for some reason.
And hey, if that’s what they want, that’s what they want, I’ll provide whatever I’m asked to provide. But it is a tad odd. (shrug)

Season 3, Episode 8 (with the "rogue subtitle writer"-joke towards the end) was probably my favorite bits to narrate. :)

That's probably my favorite show to have narrated the Audio Description for...I'm gonna miss it, both the Schlorpian storylines and the Wall/Yard storylines!

You really ought to be proud of yourself. I assumed you were, of course, but I'm just reaffirming that you ought to be. I've literally seen zero negative comments. You essentially planned and executed what ended up being the teaser trailer for the reboot, and people are *so* hyped for it now!

Directed the animation, or the voice acting too?

Some people counter with, "But Yoda being a jokester was his disguise, not his real self. He stopped joking after he revealed his name to Luke."
Granted, Yoda was pretty serious after that revelation. But it wasn't a disguise. He still had some quips in "Jedi" ("When 900 years old YOU reach...")

In other words, regulations around AI would still be enforceable if they were in a union agreement.
I'm only speaking for myself, but that leaves me even more determined to hold the line in our current contract negotiations.
Hope that clears things up!

willing to pass. It leaves me with the impression that they either wouldn't pass any, or that if they did, they'd be very weak to the point of not being helpful at all.
However....

next ten years...and that's just the thing: currently, there *aren't* any federal AI regulations.
And if certain members of Congress are OK with banning state-level AI regulations for ten *years,* that doesn't leave me particularly optimistic about whatever federal laws Congress would be <cont'd>

text of the bill...but if it passes, it does exactly what I said--it nullifies any state laws about AI regulation, including ones that have already been passed, for ten years.
So, that means only federal (which is to say, nation-wide) AI regulations would be legally enforceable for the <con'td>

budget reconciliation bill passes as-is, with the moratorium, that means those laws are gone.
Now, that could be challenged in court--and I suspect it would be--but the outcome would be uncertain. For that matter, there is a chance that the moratorium may get stricken from the final <cont'd>

AI laws for ten years (including state laws like the ones in California that have already passed). Or, a "moratorium" to use the correct terminology. So, to answer your question of what happens to the California state AI regulations that have already become law? If the Congressional <cont'd>

I can elaborate on this a little bit. It's important to differentiate between the rules of a collective bargaining agreement (a CBA), state laws, and federal laws.
The thing you're talking about is a clause that was recently inserted into Congress's budget bill that would ban state-level <cont'd>
