To be clear, this is not just about preference. This is an escape route out of the US. Canada should be opening its doors to American refugees: trans, queer, Jewish, Latine, disabled, all the people the Trump regime is targeting. That would be the moral choice. Our gov't is not going to do that.

I have done scratch tracks for projects before. Just me. Because I knew what the project needed. Why the fuck (respectfully) would I use some A.I. that doesn't (and can't) deliver the timing, speed, inflections, etc. I'm looking? Hell naw. Waste of time, more trouble than it's worth.

While there is a lot to say about this image, the thing that stands out to me the most - what IMO makes genAI a specifically right wing phenomenon - is the craving for approval. It is not enough to be able to generate robot lingerie warrior lady. They NEED to also be praised for doing it.

Been playing Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, and there's this side quest that hits the nail on the head with the problems that the generative garbage thing cause. And this game is TEN years old! It came out in 2015, and is super relevant now. (More context in alt text.)

While we're at it: Can we PLEASE STOP giving people the benefit of the doubt if they're constantly doing something bad just because they have a talent or something??? If they're a serial harasser, a serial cheater, a serial manipulator, a serial liar, why are we giving them a platform?

When Bioshock Infinite came out in 2013 it was considered so significant because the protagonist was fully voiced and silent protagonists were so very common in gaming, especially first person shooters. Now 12 years later it's suddenly "we can't have silent characters it would ruin us, get the AI!"

hate to put this guy on people's timelines, but it bears repeating: autism is not a disease. it's an evolutionary quirk. it doesn't need "curing", it needs humanity as a whole to reconcile with the fact that a class of people with different needs exists. autistic people are intelligent and lovely.

I am fascinated that Hoyo is willing to hire a scab to replace a striking voice actor, but not fire a guy who's been taking active part in slam campaigns and conspiracy theories with a YouTuber who thrives on doing those exact things. Truly, Vic was an exception rather than a standard.

why autism? why are they so fucking possessed about autism and doing all they can to find the cause of and/or "cure" it or whatever while ignoring a disease that destroys your brain and renders you blind or dissolves your lungs, why is autism the thing they're clambering to prevent #political

To clarify since I’ve since learned more If you’re a professional voice actor who thinks AI voice over is fine, don’t invite me onto a video channel that has a history of being pro-Vic and pro-JK Rowling for a debate Especially one actively calling for the recasting of your fellow cast members.

South of Midnight represents a group that’s so rarely seen in gaming with a black girl as the lead character. I want to make sure that black girls and women get the chance to play this—so if that’s you or someone you know? Send me a DM and we’ll make that happen! (Limiting this to 10 copies.)

“Be someone who others want to work with, and others will want to work with you” is like the Golden Rule of the professional world - and one often forgotten in the heat of social media. At the end of the day, it’s fellow humans hiring us AND supporting us…and badmouthing either side always returns.

This is an excellent rundown-- and a good commitment to service. It's also why it's not feasible to lay down a "no politics in hobby discussion" rule. A lot of hobbyists are about to be priced out of said hobby; for obvious reasons they'd like to talk about that!

People need to stop treating Trump like he’s a normal person. Would you go into an insane asylum and say, “Look at all these normal people, being so normal, doing very average, normal things”?

Also, one more thing: if you're not LGBTQ, you don't get a say on who's welcome in our community. Asexual and aromantic people are sexual minorities. They're always welcome in our spaces. Our spaces are their spaces. Mind your own damn business and get a new hobby.
