- Comment on We finally know what caused the global tech outage - and how much it cost 3 months ago:
It’s a variation on the old saw of “how much is the difference between a million and a billion? About a billion”. Once numbers become so big, it’s hard to grasp the relative sizes. That said, I’m also interested in a more comprehensive breakdown. Seeing who are impacted, how much and where.
- Comment on SAG-AFTRA Approves AI Voice Actors, Enrages the VA Community 9 months ago:
It’s a thorny issue. In the position of an indie dev/studio i get using cheap (or free) art, be it voice, textures, whatever. In a way a properly licensed ai trained voice is no different from using assets from an asset store.
On the other hand, the current crop of ai are less than fair about where they source the data, so good luck getting a morally neutral voice right now, leaving aside the legal aspect.
A big issue beyond that is how it’ll completely wreck the industry. If Alice licensed her voice for cheap, and I can get it to say whatever I need with minimal hassle why wouldn’t I use that over paying more for a voice actor, where I have to wait on them to actually record and rerecord her lines? I’d be paying more for slower results and more work. This means that even if an individual voice seems ethically sound, considering the wider context and impact on other voice actors it becomes far less simple.

I assume you know People make Games on Youtube? Smith’s in there, and it’s pretty dang good journalism.

Most have already been mentioned. Rock paper shotgun is a good source too, albeit pc gamers only.
