Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

I've signed my books up for this. I'm outside of the US, so there's not much I can do, but it's for an important cause. Don't let people go hungry.

REVIEW: “If Guillermo Del Toro adapted Jules Verne like an Agatha Christie mystery, you’d end up with something like THE SALT ORACLE by @rainewilson.bsky.social
It’s oceanic in its scope and beauty, and like the sea, it left me in a state of awe.”

Jujutsu Kaisen gives me anxiety while reading. I weirdly love when books can do that. I’m caught up with the series and nervous for what’s to come. 😳🫣#jujutsukaisen #jjk #manga

When a hacker uses an illegal AI construct for revenge, just how far will he go?

Read the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #scifi short story described as:

"...bloody brilliant..."

"The plot was tight and immersive, and it absolutely stuck the ending."

"...vivid and enjoyable."
