They also make the game “The finals” which also uses AI voices. If I recall correctly, they paid some people to offer their voices to be used for AI generated voice lines.

I wish they didn’t though because the rest of the game is really good. It’s like they took the look of mirrors edge and combined it with battlefield gameplay in a smaller map design and no vehicles.

Starving people out is the best reason to start fighting. I hope people start fighting back. This makes me so angry holy man.

First off, don’t cut yourself short. Nearing 100,000 is a pretty big deal, in my opinion. Congratulations! I’m sorry you’re finding the algorithm frustrating. I understand the frustration. I’ve been streaming for about a year and a half now, but im under the 250 followers mark. I used to stream gaming stuff on YouTube, which was actually going half decently until the YouTube algorithm decided to stop all reach for no discernable reason. So I swapped over to twitch and had to restart/continue from there.

The thing I’ve always found troublesome is that the YT algorithm sucks at finding content people are interested in if the channel is smaller. And if that channel makes a variety of content, it’s super unlikely it’ll get pushed. as a viewer, I’m always seeing the exact same channels, which isn’t terrible if you like those channels, but trying to discover small channels is difficult unless the algorithm pushes something to you.

On twitch I’ve been able to find really cool streamers through word of mouth. Lots of amazingly talented people with <500 followers.

My main gripe is that in order to find reach, it feels like you have to participate in as many social media ecosystems as possible. I could pump out YouTube shorts and join tiktok. But I’m conflicted because I feel like shorts feeds aren’t the healthiest thing for people.

Thank you! I appreciate you Remington. You always have a kind word or thought to share.

I think I’m on a path to quitting my job come spring/summer. It seems like a terrible idea, but I’m slowly losing my sanity. It’ll be 7 years when I quit. My parents need a smaller home, I’ll be moving with them. If they can afford a smaller place on their own, and it means I can find something different? I think I’m going to do it.

Worst case scenario, I take whatever jobs I can find and just make a bit to help out. Or maybe waste money and go back to school for something that doesn’t pan out the way I thought it would again, lol.

I still have no idea what I’m going to do. It’s scary to quit normally. Never mind during such unstable times in the world. But I’m afraid that if I don’t do it soon, I’ll never do it and end up a wage slave to this company forever. Maybe I’m nutty, and this is just a way my brain is helping me cope. Knowing there’s a way out and a light at the end of the tunnel. I have no idea, really, but I know this idea sounds extremely foolish.

I’m terrified I won’t be able to find something, considering I’ve casually looked on and off and haven’t found anything that really clicks based on this job. But I’m willing to change careers so maybe I can find something else.

This is my personal opinion, but I believe peaceful protest does mean something. It’s shown me (and hopefully others) that largely people are good and strive to be good people. Society is incredibly patient. Probably too patient.

However, it also shows that at some point peacefully protesting might get met with violence by the state, which in turn shifts public opinion towards acceptable levels of counter violence to protect their communities and loved ones. ICE abducting people is just the beginning, but public opinion is slowly shifting. Eventually, if the government continues to overstep, people will be much more likely to do something.

The fact that the snap benefits are not being accommodated during this shutdown is awful, but i think it’s also the best worst situation as hungry people will get even more angry towards a corrupt government.

It’s ironic that crunchyroll is here.

They should understand more than anyone that they need to offer a good service, and piracy would be less of an issue.

This gave me a good laugh. Thanks for that

Amazon just laid off 14,000 workers, and they’re claiming they can do their jobs with AI.

They’re already making AI commercials for TV and AI images for advertising, and there was a post here about AI music that hit the top 100 played on Spotify or something. Now, how cost-effective and efficient these all are? I have no idea.

I think there’s both overhype and reality. I think it’s a bit of both. Companies want people to believe AI is the way forward. But I also think part of this is smoke and mirrors. I actually don’t know how much of it is truth and until we start hearing more first-hand accounts, I feel like it’s very up in the air.

I really hope that ice members are tracked down and held accountable for their crimes. Similar to nazi hunters today.

The one thing I’ve personally found, is that buying devices with less points of failure has been helpful when possible.

I’m surprised it took them that long. It’s going to be ironic if the military finally has enough of their BS though

I am basically a trainer/ workhorse for the company i work for. They’re trying to set up AI help bots to outsource that aspect of my job. They estimate it’s going to be about a year until it’s ready. I’m curious what they’re going to do at that point.

I’ll either keep doing random work or they’ll get rid of me eventually if I had to guess.

My biggest concern is that they’re trying to shoe horn it into anywhere they can in the company and my assumption is that most tech companies will be like this going forward. I don’t really want to do much of anything with LLM’s so I’m trying to think of ok paying careers that I can do that don’t incorporate AI.

Lol I’ve often heard the other movies weren’t as good but I’ve only seen the first. Are they that bad?

Yup exactly. They stop crimes of opportunity

I have been enjoying these multiplayer games. They’re pretty silly. Also, I really appreciate that these indie titles have a much lower price point.

Only problem is I don’t have time to enjoy them all. Too many games, too many work hours. It’s like the iron triangle where you gotta pick two but you can’t have all 3

I love this guy. His videos have shown me to never trust locks

Ooo maybe I can ask a question then. How am I supposed to use it? Lol. I follow accounts, but what am I supposed to do exactly?

Like…some threads I see engagement but other threads I see nobody replying or posting. I think I’m just not understanding how I’m supposed to use it. For what it’s worth I never understood Twitter either lol

I’m really hoping all my existing purchases can be played via PC one day. If “everything” is indeed becoming an xbox, then I’m hoping this becomes a reality. I’m disappointed they’re moving away from their traditional consoles, though. It feels like the end of something special.

My personal guess was to get people “used” to AI video. If you slap a smear over everything, it makes it look similar

Alternatively, it could have been an attempt to clean up video to make it look better. However, the implementation and where I’ve seen it seems to make little sense. It generally makes everything look worse, so I have no clue.
