The fact that Israeli media puts both "committing the most brutal and violent publicly broadcast genocide in history" and "traffic jams" at the same level of "maybe gardening would make you feel better" should tell you something honestly

The looting of aid in Gaza by "humanitarian rights organisations-backed Hamas" was -of course- actually by Israel, because Israel lies, Western media just prints it, and now a year later the rectification is published after the Palestinians are dead already.

Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

surprised it took this long for a publisher to try this with a 'real' series. next we'll see a series with an AI-created original Japanese dub.
you folks would not BELIEVE how much the production companies want to do this. they want to never hire actors SO bad!!
ok maybe you WOULD believe it ☹️

Banana Fish doesn't deserve this.
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.

A Google software engineer won his battle against MetLife to receive disability benefits for Long Covid.
This is huge
Long Covid has a lot of stigma attached to it and it can be hard to get disability.
You’re told to “try harder”.
It’s “not that bad”.
You can “still work”.
