IMO, it raises the question of how useful are executives?
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Let's try a little exercise to actually talk about and promote the genuine craft and art that goes into Anime and English Dubs. It's so easy to make fun of the bad but I think now more than ever we should lift up the good made by passionate actors / artists.

The additional context is that Valve is still killing a beloved games studio, still tried to weasel out of making a press statement, still didn't allow a second review, and still did not communicate with the developer beyond vague references to their terms.

⛰️山海経29: 䲦鳥。谷に住んでいて、目が3つあって、鹿みたいな声で鳴くフクロウ。王道の梟デザインは既に描いているので、形も鹿に寄せました。
🌊Shanhai jing 29: Dai-niao, the three-eyed owl in the valley, which cries like a deer. As I’ve already done “a normal owl” before, let me make a deer-owl this time.

We're hosting an emergency fundraiser to help fund a kidney procedure, this account is ran by someone in the US and is currently uninsured and we need support. Currently we're $14.7k away from meeting our goal and avoiding medical debt, any bit helps

instead of buying shit that's not even on discount today you should instead support independent webcomics for the low, low price of read them for free online. Maybe even hand them a couple of bucks or buy something from their online storefronts... just saying...

⛰️山海経22: 顒。4つ目の人面フクロウ。人面鳥獣だらけの山海経。中でもフクロウ率が高めなのは、元々顔が平面で鳥っぽくないからかもしれない。
🌊Shanhai jing 22: Yong. An owl with a human face, four eyes, and ears. aka the drought bringer. It’s interesting that they’re related to the sun even though most owls are nocturnal.

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 original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical.

They're AI-generating the music here.

Fuck that.
The Let it Die sequel - Let it Die: Inferno - which is coming out next week (4th December), seems to have been built using a considerable amount of generative AI. https://bit.ly/4ol7lIA
