Happy Halloween listeners! For your ghoulish entertainment on this, the spookiest day, may we present perhaps RL Stine's most questionable decision: trying to write a mentally handicapped character. Also, OJ Simpson makes a surprise appearance. Thanks Cinco!

Love to see the vocal outrage against Amazon using AI voiceover for multiple anime dubs in multiple languages

Let’s keep those angry vibes going for when your favorite videogame developers start using it k?
An article from Chinese news site GameLook has information on Hoyo’s new game Varsapura

Here’s a quote:

“the game team ultimately wants to create a humanistic sandbox… to generate dialogue with Al NPCs, but more importantly, to drive large language models to generate a network in the city.”

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

This is essentially Vinay Prasad, who has an MD, declaring his intent to use the government to torture children to dead via preventable disease by knowingly withholding the cure.

To call this despicable is an understatement.
Vinay Prasad of the FDA claims that he has proof that 10 children died from COVID19 vaccines, so the FDA will now target flu shots, look at whether people should receive multiple vaccines at the same time, and make the vaccine approval process significantly more difficult.
FDA to impose strict new vaccine requirements, claiming child covid shot deaths
Vinay Prasad, the nation’s top vaccine regulator, said his team concluded that coronavirus shots were linked to children’s deaths, necessitating a new approach.

Guy doing a presentation on "Robots, Death, and Forensic Pathology," references watching Gigantor as a kid. Hell yea brother.

It would be giving any Republican in 2025 too much credit to suggest they have moral decency or genuine care for the well-being of the country, rather they can see the approval ratings and they know what's coming. I expect a lot more of this as party members attempt to save face.
Indiana Senate Republican Greg Walker “said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation ..”

This clip is really bad. Absolutely hollow. But important to remember also that as this tech becomes "better" and more advanced, simply it being "bad" isn't going to cut it as a rhetorical argument. Slop like this must be opposed because it's fundamentally anti-human, regardless of "quality"
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.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.
