Did you know that big studios monitor piracy? Don't you fucking dare pirate this shit. Do not hate watch through piracy. JK Rowling is a disgusting human being that funds and encourages the hurt, pain and death of my fellow trans peers.
Support media that actually deserves our time and money.

John Carmack's been openly a huge dirtbag on twitter for years and years and it drives me absolutely mad how seemingly no one ever notices. I hate John Carmack. All my homies hate John Carmack.
John Carmack making a eulogy post for Rebecca Heineman and deadnaming and misgendering her throughout, that classic Carmack tact and thoughtfulness

Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.
For one of the biggest video game franchises in the world this is pretty disgusting...

Tim Sweeney is a hack who buried the legacy titles that made his company out of a personal grudge against it's other creators, and because he doesn't see games as art, only tech. Dude has always been a raging cunt
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has defended AI following Eurogamer's 2/5 Arc Raiders review, which criticised the game's use use of AI voice generation. "AI dialog generation + human personality and tuning could totally transform gaming," Sweeney said.

I've been saying for YEARS, PlayStation's modus operandi has been to do the same shit as Xbox and Nintendo, but only *after* those other companies have already taken the flak for it. That way when PlayStation do it, the public are too busy complaining about Xbox and Nintendo to complain about Sony

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Aw, is wittle Theseus wowwied his pwecious boat will make him question the nature of existence? Cute. Some of us have real problems like worrying if replacing one more piece of their Saturn will lead to a painful visit from Segata Sanshiro because what we're playing no longer counts as a Saturn.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

saw lots of folks talking about ARC Raiders, realized they were the developers of The Finals (which uses AI-generated voices), and promptly ignored it. we know why from every angle but it's insane how uncritically this is being received and covered
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.
