Speaking as someone who was responsible for hiring actors in 3 big AAA video games, VO is one of the cheapest assets in the game. Gargantuan bang for buck. I think we spent as much on a single character model as we did on all the VO for the whole game.

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

most people want, above all else, power over their own lives. the ability to live a life where they can choose their occupation, choose whether or not to have kids, whether to live in a city vs the country, etc. rich people have achieved that. and now they want that power over OTHER people's lives
most people, if they could have anything in the world they wanted, would ask for a roughly middle class level of stability and comfort, and then for other people to be also stable and comfortable. the rich want an inhuman amount of wealth beyond that and they WILL hurt others to achieve it

No one will ever sum up Bari Weiss's career more succinctly than "what's the point of standards"
