I wish I could be more active on other social media accounts, but Twitter is not safe for journalists, LinkedIn is 95% AI spam, and the Facebook pages you're actually following don't even show up in your feed anymore. No clue how to market my services, as hypervisibility is expected but not doable.

Thanks to GenAI being used by game companies, I feel for anyone in those creative processes against get done dirty and be thrown under the bus, thinking they made a complete work of art, then even they get blindsided from afterwards.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.
Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there.

Keep the working class busy with the problems you’ve already created, and they won’t have time to fight back against the ones you’re actively making.
So far AI is causing me more work.
One of my main responsibilities is to use a database to find certain things. This database used to have humans look at the webpage of a thing and then write a description.
Bad AI descriptions have led to an increase in false positives I need to sift through.

As a yellow belt Kyokushin practitioner, nothing makes me smile more than people who weaponised martial arts and boxing to promote their douchebaggery getting fucked up.
I so endorse finding a great teacher to learn how to fight, for self-esteem, improved discipline, defense and camaraderie.

In a just world this would lead to Corey's colleagues in the cast standing by him publicly, but sadly I imagine more than half of them are too scared of backlash from the fandom/company to do so.
It shouldn't be that way. I get why it is.
But this kind of treatment of VAs should not be happening.

Corey Landis has posted email exchanges between himself and the representatives for HoYoVerse where he makes it clear he was not communicated with re: his being replaced, and also?
He refused to sign paperwork that, in his words, was not industry standard.
