One thing we're vvv proud of: 404 Media independent + journalist-owned. Here's a rundown of some of our recent work:

After months of 404 Media reporting and pressure from lawmakers, US airlines will shut down a program that sold millions of YOUR flight records to the government.
Airlines Will Shut Down Program That Sold Your Flights Records to Government
The move comes after intense pressure from lawmakers and 404 Media’s months-long reporting about the airline industry's data selling practices.

The KOSA hearing is tomorrow. I will be covering it live starting at 10:15 EST
🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.

KOSA will obliterate trans people's ability to have spaces and even communicate online. It MUST be stopped.
Tell your lawmakers to oppose the Kids Online Safety Act- there are better ways to protect kids online without throwing other vulnerable people under the bus.

We need folks to hammer paypros, as the holiday season is a prime opportunity to clog up their call centers and have our impact be felt the hardest.

Need contacts, talking points, etc? use the site linked! It has a ton of info that is still relevant and useful!

In the past week, a voice over agency got bullied off Twitter for posting that actors refusing to work with AI are “cutting off their noses to spite their face.”

We need more energy like that, especially when companies straight up just use AI instead of actors and assume nobody will say shit.
Several months ago, actors made it clear that they were withholding work from Genshin Impact because of a lack of basic AI protections

Hoyo fans told them it would/could never be an issue

Last night, Hoyo posted several official videos promoting Genshin's new mode

Here's what the VO sounds like.

To add to this:

"We're just a small game, we can't afford voice actors!"

Then don't have voiced characters. Use text boxes. If you can't afford to pay an artist, then you don't get the art, simple as.
"We're only using AI as placeholder dialogue, to get a sense for how it'd sound with voices"

Why?? Literally why??? You could grab the shittiest laptop microphone and DO that
"I think it's fine to use AI for concepting as long as it doesn't make it into the final game" is a statement that will never fail to set me off

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off.
Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses.
