Hey. I'm watching a stream right now being broadcast from a high speed rail line in China, fully HD, no interruptions or blips.
America. Can we up our fucking game here please? A transit line in another country has better internet than 99.99% of America.

Damn my Fallout 4 hot take was so bad my ISP cut my internet after posting it.

Time for a video game hot take:
I actually disagree with most players and liked what Bethesda did with Fallout 4's dialogue system. It was refreshing, but it also put a foot down on a misconception gamers have about roleplaying games. A thread (from me, an RP'er):

Todd Howard says that Fallout 4's cinematic dialogue system 'really did not resonate' with players, even though Bethesda 'spent forever' working on it
"A lot of players were like, 'That's not the voice I hear in my head'."

Who else remembers a few years ago when the Jujutsu Kaisen movie made almost 200 million at the box office and the dub cast got like $300 tops
Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.
They will tell you no. They might even laugh.
Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?
Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.

To build on this point:
AI con-artists want people to perceive their products as successful and useful. But failing those, they will accept *fear* of their products. Because then they can pitch, "Why would people be afraid?" That's why we have to measure our concerns while being on the attack.

So for everyone flipping out like this is the end of the world: That's what AI people want you to think. No one actually likes or wants this, or at least there's no evidence of it yet. Please stop making this a big deal

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:
1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people
2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

agreed. it's "the guy who makes you uncomfortable for reasons you won't articulate isn't the future. this guy who looks and talks like you is."
You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
