Queer neurodivergent dweeb. That super textured voice on Castle Bravo. Trying my best, despite all odds.
If you're someone at Amazon who had a hand in approving this but you never listened to the end result because you just trusted AI, you should lose your job.
If you had a hand in approving it AFTER listening? The job ain't enough, we're taking your kidneys.

Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

My dogs go apeshit for coconut oil. I warm some up in my hands to rub it on Athena's irritated skin and they both start just licking the air. Weirdos.

The other side of this is:
Given how many of the executive use AI per this study, why aren't THEIR jobs the ones seen as easily replaceable by AI?
Given how many of the executive use AI per this study, why aren't THEIR jobs the ones seen as easily replaceable by AI?
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Seeing people blast the Amazon AI dubs but then announce they’ll be streaming Where the Winds Meet
I understand you were never likely to watch or engage with these anime dubs to begin with, but please be aware these things are doing the same thing - replacing the human element within art you love.

The new game "Where the Winds Meet" uses AI chat bots for NPCs. It's really uncomfortable.

Wuxia MMO Where Winds Meet is full of AI chatbot NPCs, and people are doing all the standard obscene stuff to them: 'I made him think that my character was pregnant with his child'
Can't we just go back to the Zork school of NPC dialog?

You ever start a movie thinking it'll probably be a good time, you're sort of casually watching the beginning and then suddenly you're locked the fuck in
Anyway I'm exactly 5 minutes into the movie "Together"

United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.
