this is your friendly holiday season reminder that if the idea of spending time with your family fills you with dread, you don’t have to keep doing it.
shared genes do not entitle anyone to your time, energy, or loyalty, and the holidays do not need to be a nightmare season.

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.

Also, from the article comments: “As a certified pharmacy technician who is trained to give immunizations, I just have to comment on the ridiculous photo of the sloppily gloved hand… At no point do we approach a child--or an adult--with our thumb on the plunger as shown. This photo is ludicrous.”
Headlines like this are extremely dangerous. Because moms of young kids are the people who make the bulk of the vaccine decisions for famillies. And for a lot of them, "reading the news" looks like scrolling past headlines on social media in the spare moments of the chaos of caring for kids.

I just had a dude argue that war crimes don't apply during war, and I just don't know if our country can survive this level of stupid.

Not the main problem, but increasingly thinking we need a moratorium on the term "Artificial Intelligence" (both in full and as "AI") because it's clear it means at least three seriously different things and equivocation between those helps to enable this nonsense.

Ai text detectors worry me. Firstly, as here (apologies for the X post), they produce false positives. Secondly, I dislike the idea of putting my (or anyone else’s) writing into such a detector, because I’m not entirely convinced it won’t be used to further train something somewhere.

jiminy's animal reviews: The ocellated turkey (𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘢) is much like the most common wild turkey of North America, except it cosplays as a peacock. It looks like a black light poster of a whiskey bottle. It’s like a Lisa Frank still life of Appalachia. It’s glorious. 🧵
