OpenAI says Sky voice in ChatGPT will be paused after concerns it sounds too much like Scarlett Johansson
  • There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I'm watching with interest.

  • What is a story were the main villain actually turned out to be the good guy?
  • The Watchmen. Everyone thought Ozymandias was the supreme evil but what he did ultimately saved billions of lives.

  • Cows milk is for their babies, and it should never be consumed by human.
  • Factory farming sucks and should be abolished.

    That being said, in ancient times they gave us milk and we gave them grain during winter. Contracts can always be revisited, but don't act like this was entirely one sided.

  • Why are Denis Villeneuve's Dune movies loved by audience and critics?
  • Yeah I loved the effects and the cinematography, I mean that's what makes new movies fantastic... it's a showcase of how real we can get things to look.

    But the books were filled from cover to cover with worldbuilding that's a whole lot more than vistas. There's reasons and motivations that lead you to where the story begins and a failure to grasp at least some of those (Butlerian Jihad, Bene Gesserit, Guild Navigators and ofc the SPICE) leaves you with what @reddig33 said.

    But the new movies seem very sterile, slow, and dull.

    They are rote action movies that fail to evoke any real emotion, and that's a shame.

  • After Food Aid Massacre, U.N. Expert Accuses Israel of Starving Gaza
  • My understanding is a number of Palestinians gathered over the rumors of aid being delivered. The IDF got nervous seeing so many in one location and shot the crowd. Numbers from yesterday were over 100 dead and 700+ wounded.

  • Final images of Ingenuity reveal an entire blade broke off the helicopter
  • Way to go little buddy. There'll be a monument built around you in the coming years.

  • Do you sit at a desk and keyboard for multiple hours? If yes, please recommend a good chair.
  • Yeah if you watch the site for sales the Aeron can get decently cheap. Plus, consider that these chairs have a 10 year warranty, unlike the ones you pick up at an office supply store.

    The Aeron really changed everything for me.

    How About a Hydrogen car? Massive Discounts on 2023 Toyota Mirai
  • No one is going to meaningful control hydrogen prices in the long-run.

    And this is why we have so many people campaigning against it.

  • Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel?
  • Don't discount the fact that Israel supported us in every way when 9/11 happened. I firmly believe every favor is being called in at this point.

  • Sony Promises Helldivers 3 Will Debut With at Least Two, Possibly Three Servers
  • This is um.... satire xD. Read the article.

  • Israel declared Brazilian President Lula da Silva “persona non grata” - International Monitor
  • I suppose anyone that has any criticism whatsoever of Israel in any form is persona non grata these days.

    The fact that Israel has put so much effort into changing US law to prevent anyone from claiming anything negative about Israel is a red flag that Israel needs negative things said.

    I fully support the state of Israel and believe that the holocaust happened, and I will STILL call an asshat an asshat. Tough shit. Guess I'll cancel any vacation plans I ever planned in their country.
