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.
It's really hard for some people to believe that this would ever be the truth. At the very minimum, this is like 50% of the truth, and the other 50% is worse.
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?"
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?
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.
"~~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.
This is an important question.
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.
