  I’m admittedly ignorant of all of this, but I’ll post my thoughts anyway:

  If the AI is trained on their voice and that AI is available to other studios, the one time payment for that actor’s work is a very very shit deal. They’re out of a job in multiple places or for multiple works now since it can be reused for many things.

  I doubt that the contract says it’s only used for that one singular project. Companies are sneaky. However, I have not read said contracts so it’s a magical guess on my part.

  When Lemmy was in its infancy, there were beans. Now they’re back, a more magical than ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Creative workers on the affects of AI on their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mmm, maybe. Affects also works as it means to influence. It’s subtle and context matters, but if AI is still changing things with their job then affects is the verb you want. If AI has changed their job and nothing further is happening then effect is the noun you want.

  I see where you’re coming from.

  I personally read it differently. I read it as not everyone lives in a city, or wants to, and so people shouldn’t pressure others to do that (for mass transit) just so we can get rid of cars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you not have apartment complexes where you live? You can easily hit that number in your building ALONE depending on how many units there are. Then you have buildings around you because apartments aren’t just a one off.

  Let’s say you live on a city block with 8 houses on each side and there’s an average of 2 people living in each house, that’s still 32 people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In the original Warcraft games (not World Of Warcraft), repeatedly clicking units would initiate irritation voice lines.

  Humans would say something like, “why do you keep touching me?”

  An elf said something like, “you never touch other elves like that!”

  Totally! I didn’t downvote you btw. No idea what that is about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah. Yes, I get it. I was thinking you were serious that they weren’t Android. 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh. Ok, so can you elaborate on this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  when it launched

  Yes. That right there. I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps and I like it much better. Hell, even the GPS doesn’t play catch up nearly like what Google Maps does. Speed limits are posted on like every street so I know it before I see a sign. It’s more aesthetically pleasing to me than Google Maps as well.

  I had the OG Droid, did all the rooting and ROMing on my phones, and went up to the Samsung S8 until I switched. I don’t miss Android, but I’m not a power user either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I have an iPhone 15 Pro and Safari is freezing or just not even allowing me to close windows until I restart the app.

  I haven’t tried turning it off yet, but my suspicion is the Liquid Glass and all the stuff it needs to do is taking priority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The answer you’re looking for is, “Of course it does!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Switch a while ago. It’s pretty damn great.

  Or the side quest of the rocket that didn’t blow up and you do all of this grabbing parts, set up, fight Order forces and you finally get to launch the missile which developed a bond with humans but didn’t want to be a dud. They end up being fireworks instead of an actual missile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If chickens are modern dinosaurs some dinosaurs probably tasted like chicken.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, this is spot on. There are definitely ways to cook it that can help ease home of that gamer-ness. I had alligator nuggets in Florida and really enjoyed them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t understand how to “do” crypto. Here’s my brain’s interpretation and questions. You will probably see why I, and many others, don’t use it or dabble in it:

  It’s got to be mined to obtain (power hog and time)

  You can buy it but it is traded like stock which may inflate it to be more expensive to obtain

  Who really owns or has responsibility over what you purchase?

  Where is it “stored” (locally, on a cloud somewhere)?

  What coin type do you choose and how do you know it’s safe?

  Do you just make your own coin and use a program that does everything needed to package it as “money”?

  How does someone verify that you actually have the money behind the coin(s)?
