British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

I say this with empathy toward every struggling actor who is just trying to make due:
Providing your voice for A.I. undermines everyone in the industry. It is a net negative, that will only make it harder for you and everyone else down the line.
It. Is. Wrong.

“But in ARC Raiders the GenAi voices were officially sanctioned by the actors! And so did Fortnite!” - and their agreement to this undermines everything the rest of us Voice Actors, our union, and other industries have been fighting against.

KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

It's really fascinating seeing the back and forth of splitting hairs people are making in the CSB youtube comments about how it's not GenAI, it's actually just feeding VA into TTS and that's totally different, when the game has this disclaimer on its page.

I've faced similar claims and it's like bro I am streaming Digimon and going back to shit like Peak and Lethal Company because there are like a billion games. Like a billion.
Someone called me a liar for saying I wouldn't buy any new games if every game suddenly had gen AI content in it, as if old games don't exist. These people are Desperate.

My entire life I've watched speculative scams rise and fall. Eventually they just get so obvious you can't pay attention to them, but AI and Crypto being tech based means we have to deal with them online constantly. Tupperware party is at least limited to the neighbourhood you live in.
Every economist worth their the pixels their words are strewn across says it's a bubble that's about to pop. But the people totally in on AI only listen to the guy with no credentials who says what they want to hear. Being correct is irrelevant, they want to feel like they're right

Really good example of trying to foster AI doomerism in the comments I was describing. Even IF all of that is true (it's not, but sure), I can't stand the attitude of, well, since you *must* use X that's ethically compromised, you might as well just give up on everything! Just begging for a pass

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

I keep telling this story.
Imagine a vast orchard, bequeathed to the Boomers by their parents.
They spend their working lives tending it, growing it, selling the apples and cider. They show it to their kids, and they say, "It'll be up to you to keep this going when I retire."

Talk about robbing the future from a generation.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

The Boomers grow older, as they predicted.
And then, one day, they saw down every tree in the orchard to build their retirement cabin.
"I'm done with the orchard," they tell their kids and grandkids. "It's all yours. Enjoy!"
And now, they're annoyed when their descendants complain.
