It's also the coolest and most fun part of the job, why would you want to cut it out!?

AI can't do that. It can't understand the words or the characters it's "voicing." It can't understand your intent and has no intent of its own. You need a real actor to do this.

It's purely managers wanting to live in a world where ideas guys write a prompt and a fully-formed game comes out of the machine (and people buy that slop because their ideas are soooo goooood of course). I don't ascribe it serious motives. It's coming from a place of hating creatives, period.

Trans folks reading this: don't panic too much, the supreme court thing is about injunctions pending a larger court case

Cis folks reading this: Try to understand how terrifying it is to be a minority the government openly hates, and they start fucking with your ability to *leave the country*
This fight isn't over. Our case challenging President Trump's executive order will still move forward.

In the meantime anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport, or for a passport renewal, is at risk of having their passport issued bearing the sex they were assigned at birth.

That's not to say those of us in Future Class are done. If anything, they made the mistake of putting us all in the same room together because together, we're unstoppable.

Love my ❤️ at Future Class.

As a reminder: we are not props.

It's important that we name it when we see it. That we say it so it lives in the open. Not just in the way that the Future Class has been abandoned, but the half-baked acknowledgment of the turmoil in the industry by The Game Awards. All of it.

Don't claim what you don't care about. (5/5)
