Nope. Nope. Nope.
Not cool.
Not here.
Not ever.

We will keep working with real translators and narrators (and artists and proofreaders and authors and...) without any of this "AI" bullshit.

The 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair heard that developments in AI audiobooks mean publishers will no longer have to decide whether to translate a book, but instead just choose which market to translate into 👇 #FBM25

First image: the little kid from Twilight Zone: The Movie, Joe Dante segment "It's a Good Life" saying "I'm wishing you into Cartoon Land"
Second image: the cursed boar god Nago from Studio Ghibli film Princess Mononoke, screaming in pain and fury as worms writhe from his flesh before he resumes trying to eviscerate every human he sees. This is one of the victim characters of the movie.

The common depiction of Martin as a big pillowy golden retriever lad, though, totally spot on

Doing my Halloween re-listen to The Magnus Archives. The fanart that depicts Jon as long-haired and bohemian is so funny to me, I cannot picture the most uptight man in audio drama going for that look. If he has long hair it’s in a bun so tight it gives him headaches.

Without judging people for writing erotica at a chat bot, please do not pass your sexual fantasies to Sam Altman's engineers. They will download it and laugh at you and then lose it in a massive data leak.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced in a post on X Tuesday that ChatGPT is officially getting into the fuckable chatbots game, with “erotica for verified adults” rolling out in December.

I think it was just “isn’t it interesting this guy fought for three armies?” and I guess, yeah, but at the end of the day he’s a Nazi! You do not have to hand it to him!

wanderer above the sea of pho @pierogibeast.bsky.social · 3d

They’ve got some good Nazi fighting songs but “Soldier of Three Armies” is about a Nazi, and they’ve done a bit of Clean Wehrmacht nonsense. I think it’s much more naïveté than Nazi sympathy but I still don’t care for those songs
