One area I hear about more than any other in which AI supposedly has use cases, is in translation.
With that in mind, this is a very interesting thread...

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.

Having checked out the OBR book that was uploaded to a mirror link in advance of the original being taken down, I have to say I'm surprised by how much of a focus the Chancellor is putting on Rick Astley

@microsoft.com you have introduced a setting in Word so when I leave a comment on my own document, on my own computer, it sends me an email from my own email address, telling me I've left a comment.
And your support team say its impossible to turn off and instead I'm supposed to block my own email?

Outstanding video, thanks for sharing Alfie!
Lots of articles and videos around at the moment, about how a lot of modern cinema is missing something. If you ingest one of these explainers, please let it be this one.
This gentleman truly knows what makes good cinema. And articulates it all perfectly imho.

For more than a decade now the government’s answer to how to fund universities has been to make money from overseas students.
The last lot then tried to discourage students from coming here.
This lot just want the money back.
But then how do we fund ourselves?
Crazy.

I get scared to start new games, especially ones where I will have to watch a ten minute movie about what the game is about. I sometimes start them up then quit them quickly, saying to myself, "not now. I can't do it just now."

Shittification and shareholder return
A rehash of an old thread
Why is everything crap. Well, here we learn why Adam Smith was an early Marxist, in that though he had great faith in markets
He had zero faith in merchants
And the reason why, is why no one answers your helpline
