My conspiracy theory of the day: SNL just keeps Colin Jost in a dark closet with a blindfold on and wearing headphones blasting death metal so he can’t hear or see the jokes in advance before he’s shoved on-camera.

This affects you - the audience - more than you think.
Because there are no residual payments on videogames, many actors rely on convention appearances as a replacement income.
Because cons = $, cons have begun expecting talent to make it through YOU (no appearance fee).
You’ve been tip-cultured.

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.

Sincere proposal:
Let’s take the cliche phrase of “Nobody wants to work anymore” and solely apply it to businesses and executives who lazily run AI where actual-people-work ought to be used.

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

People defending the chatbot NPC situation in Petit Planet insist that you can't expect a writer to come up with appropriate responses to anything a player might ask
I'd argue the NPC chatbot doesn't seem to be able to do this either, contradicting itself and stating generic gibberish.

Dealing with a new shoulder joint made of plastic and metal is a process, no doubt, and recovery is continual but slow.
That said, as an Ace Attorney fan, I also realized recently that you can pass a metal detector over my right shoulder and it goes off, and that gives me major Von Karma giggles.

Just got home from shoulder replacement surgery, and started the healing process with some pastrami and some Jewish penicillin.
Glad to be on the other side of this. Plenty of recovery still to go.

I dunno, they scribbled this on a note and stuck it on me when I was little. It’s entirely their fault. I wanted Muscles McSexy. But the union only allows one per name and I’d have to make up a middle initial; seriously, Muscles Q. McSexy? GTFO.

I like how, in The Prince of Egypt, little baby Moses lays it on REAL thick for the Queen when she uncovers him.
“Oh, what a surprise, a royal maternal figure, what’s an eminently adorable and adoptable and rescue-able infant like me to do? Goo goo.”
