if you told me this was a group of podcasters doing a blind table read of a script they were deliberately making fun of...I still wouldn't believe you because it sounds so janky
and they actually shipped this as a real dub??? holy fuck this is embarrassing

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.

The dearth of creativity by gAI boosters is utterly dwarfed by the dearth of creativity by gAI developers
Even if you're generally disdainful of most gAI "art" (as I am)....come on. you have to have a better argument than "it's a fancy Snapchat filter"

What is this for. Who finds this appealing. Why is so much money being spent on this. What is happening to peoples’ brains.

an excellent rule of thumb is that you literally never need gAI for anything a search engine can do
and that goes double for excellent resources like this

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:
- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

sex work is always the canary in the coal mine for free speech. if you can't convince your editor to cover it on its own merits, it should at least be worth covering as a playbook for how they'll come after what they don't like YOU saying next

I get that you feel embarrassed to talk about porn but if you come at it from "they're censoring PG games and ASMR" maybe you can like... get over yourself?
this is hurting so many people and it's just going to keep getting worse?

would be really cool of any indie journalists who want to like.... talk about this massive form of censorship since it's a byproduct of the fascism we are all dealing with?

I don't mean to keep hammering away at this drum, but I am currently in the hospital on Thanksgiving because I spent years putting more than my body could do into a job that was actively trying to kill me for not doing even more

Not going to link to the article because fuck it but anyone saying “the work/life balance might not be feasible” is trying to use you and pay you very little and wants you on the survival mode teat. Ignore them for the parasites they are.

The obvious, knee-jerk reaction is "it's fancy auto-complete, it doesn't know"
but that covers up the real, much dumber reason: which is that we solved this problem with voice assistants that weren't trying to "know" things and just searched for them already
but now, chatbots suck at that I guess?

"capitalism is good because it's the most efficient method for allocating resources"
Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, AI related stocks have accounted for 75% of S&P 500 returns, 79% of earnings growth, and 90% of capital spending (Capex and R&D) growth. am.jpmorgan.com/content/dam/...

when I lived alone, I would buy a box of tampons just so I was sure I had spares in case a guest needed them
and that one box every year, maybe, was definitely more expensive than every single night I didn't go out on a date combined

this is such a deep and painfully obvious truth, I anticipate everyone on earth will reject it out of sheer spite
also, hear me out: the horizontal parts of the capital letter 'i' should never have been viewed as serifs. (i.e. even in sans-serif fonts, a capital 'i' should have an upper horizontal line, a lower horizontal line, and a vertical line connecting the two.)
