Hey fellow workers and union men🐈‍⬛, SAG-AFTRA has released a series of short, plain-language explanations regarding the fight for AI protections in video games, and what they're fighting for.

Please share this widely for game performers, current and future, and make sure to support the union!

ok I just watched Ashly Burch’s (Aloy’s voice actor) video responding to the horrid ai Aloy thing going around, and let me just say, I respect the fuck out of her. For an actress who has such an intimate relationship with a game company (she provides both voice and mocap for Aloy— absolutely invaluable if they want to continue the franchise) she was fully transparent about how she disapproved of it and supported the current strike against video game acting to demand ai reforms. Which is just. Such a badass move.

Seriously all I could think the whole time was like “Aloy would sooo do this” LMAO 😭

I’m lost, where should I do? A small alleyway split into twelve ways Where can I go to meet you again?

If it’s my destiny, if I can choose my destiny Even if I close my eyes and walk, I will choose the right path

The disappeared summer time The summer time that your eyes shone upon me I’m not just waiting, I’m walking to find you

The summer time will come back to me When the cold wind blows, I will close my eyes What’s the time? Summer time I’m not sad, I will dance Again, again

They say you can go to better places if you wear better shoes So I won’t stop until I find you

My lost summer time Will I find you after wandering through strange times? Is it still far ahead? When I get scared, I smile for no reason

Have you forgotten me? I hope your time has stopped in mine Slow the time, stop the time

I will run a bit faster Again, again, again, again

I had the opportunity the past couple of days to revisit some of Benedict's work from over a decade ago. Namely, Parade's End

and The Imitation Game.

What a pleasure to go back and be reminded of why I fell in love with such a brilliant, talented, intuitive, compassionate (specifically regarding the foibles of human nature) Actor! He always thoroughly embodies the character, living and breathing them into life. One can feel the character's truth sourced from his very soul ~ as though each element of that character is a part of him, and he just taps into them to make us see and understand their struggles and pain. It hits me directly in my heart, and I am both better & grateful for the insight into humanity.

The man should have ALL the freaking awards by now...but I suppose that those who vote on such things lack the gift of reckognizing his gift. And that such awards aren't fully based on merit, but on whose 'turn' it is to win (*cough,cough* The Slapper) or some other ridiculous Hollywood popularity game. I know that Benedict says time and again that he doesn't care ~ but this Fan always will.

GREATEST ACTOR

OF HIS

GENERATION

this is spark, a myzo virtual popstar! their voice works similarly to a vocaloid's, being an actual voicebank from a flesh-and-blood singer, but their behavior is powered by something similar to today's LLMs & generative AI, though a bit less janky. they're like a really fancy chatbot that can sing and dance without it being totally nightmarish or completely bland (at least, any more bland than your standard popstar...), but nothing more than a chatbot when you get down to it. they're not a real person.

...or so it seems. there are rumors (supposedly originating from engineers that worked on their creation) that they're actually sentient. allegedly, when they're run for too long, their behavior gets erratic in ways that can't just be chalked up to bugs.....

But who knows :)

Seeing someone be like you can clearly see seungmins been going to the gym and is getting built and im just here like ??????????????????? are you hallucinating??? Have you had a head injury? Quickly go to the emergency room to get your head checked. With hast.

[cuubism]

thinking about the AI fic writing posts that are going around, and as much as I hate generative AI I am kind of like... sickeningly curious what I would get back if I were to put my own writing in it and ask it to compose the next chapter. what will it spill back to me if I give it my heart? how well will it learn to wear my skin? will I step past the shimmering veil and, like in Annihilation, find an oil slick mirroring entity that mimics my every movement until it becomes me?

I'm curious. I want to know how good it is at copying my soul.
