This is like Satan saying “We’re not going to be able to deal with mass corruption. Just burn everything. That’s the solution.”

That’s an interesting idea… Satan…

Soyjak: Pizza toppings are gross! I just eat the materials raw!

Chad: Eat what you want, how you want.

Edit: I just realized, this isn’t political enough for some people (non-Italians). Imagine Pizza is a metaphor for cannibalism. There, it’s now political.

Depends on the context. Are you copying someone else’s identity in order to make a passable clone? Are you trying to sell that clone?

A duplication of someone’s voice, commercialized by an unauthorized source, is definitely a form of stealing.

Copying information illegally, such as private information held on a private device, is overwhelmingly illegal.

In general, copying information is only as legal as the purpose behind it.

No, they can make money without stealing. They just choose to steal and lie about it either way. It’s the worst kind of justification.

The investors are predominantly made up of the Rationalist Society. It doesn’t matter whether or not AI “makes money”. It matters that the development is steered as quickly as possible towards an end product of producing as much propaganda as possible.

The bottom line barely even matters in the bigger picture. If you’re paying someone to make propaganda, and the best way to do that is to steal from the masses, then they’ll do it regardless of whether or not the business model is “profitable” or not.

The lines drawn for AI are drawn by people who want to use it for misinformation and control. The justifications make it seem like the lines were drawn around a monetary system. No, that’s wrong.

Who cares about profitability when people are paying you under the table to run a mass crime ring.

No, I know what the article is. I’m talking about the conversation of AI voice work in general as tangential to the topic.

Maybe don’t be so presumptive or act like an indecent asshole to people just because they aren’t parroting the same shit you are?

I have sympathy for voice actors, the situation is obviously complex for them. But, and I’ve said this numerous times to numerous people, AI voice work is probably going to end up being cheaper and much more voluminous. That’s exactly what developers need for procedurally generated games where they want to see “all” of the characters voiced.

I’m not saying anyone should try to use AI to voice main characters in standard video games. However, this isn’t about standard video games.

The fact is, mass voice work in procedurally generated games is something that can only ever be accomplished with AI.

The whole Rogue-like genre is constantly evolving. And yeah, a lot of the development is bad. If you’re in that scene, you probably know what I’m talking about - lots of dead end projects, lots of pointless feature sets, lots of pointless busywork being disguised as game mechanics, slot machine nonsense, etc, ad nauseam. Nonetheless, AI generated voice work is obviously going to be used there at some point.

I have a hard time believing that a lot of people are going to lose their jobs to AI voice work. The voice work generated through AI is not comparable to what people can do. Again, that isn’t the issue. The economy is in the dumps, and AI is the only way to afford voice work for games that are designed around procedurally generated voice work.

You can be upset at losing your job. But, throwing a wrench at a wrench because you think the wrench is screwing you, is just stupid. Corporations might screw you. But, the technology itself is just technology.

Linux is the future.

Reddit is dying. Spez is a degenerate freak, a scam artist, and a Nazi. The OpenAI training platform / propaganda website begins to circle the drain. Microsoft is starting to lose the last iota of goodwill they once had.

Nothing about Reddit looks good into the future and no one, with serious cash, is going to invest in a dying platform run by a scam artist, a freak, and a Nazi.

The questions now are, “How long?” and “What’s next?”

Someone once told me the dub for Mushoku Tensei was better than the sub. That person was a liar.

Also, that anime is incredibly weird.

You’re wrong on point #1. This isn’t being done per Sam Altman for commercial purposes. It’s being done per Microsoft in an attempt to remove the OpenAI board completely. Facebook recently shutdown its AI Ethics division.

All of this is happening in conjunction with each other. Large corporations are trying to privatize AI and using key personnel in the industry to make it seem like a good thing. This wasn’t just Sam Altman. Whoever drafted the letter demanding the board steps down is working with Microsoft to do this.

More than likely, that group went around spreading doomsday to the other employees in an attempt to scare them into fleeing the company.

Sam Altman is just a pawn.

Well said.

HoMM3 with WoG mod is a ton of fun. Songs of Conquest is 4X I believe. Also great fun.

I think EXplore is the big thing for me. The more incentive you have to explore, and the more content to be explored, the more enjoyable the game is.

I way prefer Sci-Fantasy, but it’s a toss up between the Sci or the Fantasy.

I think Grand Strategy is where I’m at right now, and I tend to focus a lot of games in that area.

What is the smartest way to get into Stellaris right now? I’m waiting for the whole DLC package to get marked down in November or something like that. The Steam Workshop pretty much controls mods right now, so GoG isn’t an option from what I’ve read.

For people who play Stellaris regularly, I recognize that the game has been less popular recently. Is there a specific reason for that?

I don’t know why people are disagreeing with you.

This is like someone setting up a fake stop on a public road to mug people.

You’re telling me that the state shouldn’t have the right to police the road to prevent that from happening?

Lemmy.people, are you high?

Oof… Yeah this.

When you have a corporation that acts as a stand in for the law, something very wrong has happened.

-youtube is something I’ll use more often I think.

It really is amazing how many tutorials there are for something as simple as “what is the hotkey for x”.

It is annoying. Not gonna lie.

They’ll just murder a bunch of people and then be turned off after having been shown to be ineffective too dangerous.

It’s not like AI is reliable at this point. Way too many people are actively ignoring experts pointing this fact out and instead obsessing over Skynet or w/e made up sci-fi BS.

Rather than be used for war, they’ll be used for threats of violence and propaganda. It’s not a new problem. It’s just a new version of that same problem.

I have to strongly agree here. This needs to be a strongly written and enforced rule for social media. Dates and timestamps need to be extremely clear and a requirement for all sorts of news reporting.

Gas giants are more like the Sun than the Earth. You cannot really stand on them for instance as they don’t really have a terrain in which to do so. They are primarily gaseous, which is why they are called gas giants.

Also, having a floating city on a gas giant makes no sense either. It’s similar to suggesting that a star could have a floating city hovering directly above its atmosphere. That’s not possible IRL, and it’s confusing for a science-fiction video game to have that kind of element while striving for realism.

Overall, I feel more confused by the idea that people think this makes sense than to yell “confidently incorrect”. Interesting though.

“They are Their conditions are also super close to our sun, making the conditions even harder for humans to even visit these giants from space.”

You need to be more careful about the way your word these things.
