Here's something you can be thankful for: Here's Press Start Part 6!...A.

Yes, the video count for this part became so massive that for the benefit of scrolling (especially those using the YouTube TV app) I've split it into sublists A ('06-'09) and B ('10-'12).

Expect B before the end of the year.

In case you were wondering where to send your thoughts on the AI "dub" of Banana Fish, you can do so here.

Be polite--and I *mean* that--but so long as you're polite, feel free to let them know exactly how you feel about the AI "dub."
That I can do.

Search Prime Video for the title (I went with Banana Fish), then click on Details, and scroll past the Cast page to "Send Us Feedback."

You know what I want fo a presidential candidate for 2028?

Someone who doesn’t qualify for an AARP membership.

Is that doable people…?

Obama was 47 when he took office in 2008. So was Clinton.

Can we please go back to that era where we don’t elect leaders who start their day at 12:30 PM?

My drug of choice is comedy songs that spoof specific artists while sounding EVERY bit as amazing musically as any actual song said artist ever released.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill 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.

For years, McDonald's would run a "Holiday Film Fest" with cheap vhs tapes... the 1994 batch featured Field of Dreams, Land Before Time, Back to the Future & Fievel Goes West. If you grew up with all of these tapes, I bet this was why.

Respectfully, nah, he still doesn't deserve empathy. I'm sure he is indeed quite miserable, but chalking ALL of this shit up to his misery is an insult to all the perfectly decent miserable people in the world who DON'T let it turn them into bigoted twats.
Graham Linehan has managed to be so hateful and vile that he's looped around to me having empathy for just how miserable he has to be in order to be this way.

Life-destroyingly vile and angry.
Graham Linehan is a normal and well man.

Rewatched this after years on Thanksgiving, and I was once again reminded of how much I enjoy it. A guest was made a new fan that night.

Whether you've checked out this video game history playlist series before or not, be sure to look back at the significantly updated earlier parts 1-5. To quote an '80s Universal Studios Hollywood commercial, "If you haven't been lately, you haven't been."

BTW, between Wicked: For Good, a newly updated The Beatles Anthology and Avatar: Fire & Ash, I think the 2009 portion of this playlist especially well-timed.

SAG-AFTRA is required to have a framework in place so that it can tackle the legal issue of AI

This wouldn’t be necessary if corporations across the board weren’t careening headlong into AI like a bunch of crash test dummies

The issue is with the people pushing for AI. Not those fighting it.
"But Sena, SAG-AFTRA was in bed with Ethovox!"

That's because if they didn't have an AI clause in place in their contracts, then there would be nothing the union could point to in court when suing companies that run afoul.

(Also, the company would have to get all the old actors' permission first)

my unequivocal playwright hero. I loved his work so much. all I have ever wanted to do with my life was write something that made other people feel the way “Arcadia” made me feel. what a titan
Oof. He was truly a master, from Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern to Arcadia to Leopoldstadt—just a lifetime of tremendous, thought-provoking, hilarious work. RIP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

It's painful how researchers, companies, government agencies & countless more were doing painstaking work to figure out how to reduce bias in predictive machine learning systems by building UX that'd help brilliant domain specialists tune models to eliminate bias, yet OpenAI entirely ignored it all.
Couldn’t help but notice a lot of these AI videos are hella racist. 🙃
