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.

German court rules that OpenAI violated copyright laws by training ChatGPT on music 🎵

Hi I had my first lesson with a new composition/theory student today and it was a nice reminder that I rly enjoy teaching people how to make music! And good news, I have room for a few new students! Feel free to email or DM me to learn more 🩷🎼

especially annoying to see audio folks rave about how good a game sounds but ignore the fact that it uses AI voice

ALL audio matters and you should care about this!!!

play and praise games made by actual humans!! reject AI!!!
It bums me out that people would use AI generated voice lines on games.

Maybe I'm wrong in thinking this but I'm sure there's folks on those dev teams that could probably just do their best at VO, even if they're not the best, and it would be miles better than the computer just reading words?

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.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"

They want people to assume this means game info or assets.

But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:

'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"
