Just bullies, plain and simple. Don't forget to put your toys away before you go night night, assholes

Aurenkin ,

If you have a Tesla and you're worried about this it's probably worth enabling pin to drive. Not sure about all the other brands that are impacted but hopefully they have a similar feature.

Aurenkin ,

You don't own the rights to the voice of every actor who arguably sounds kinda like you. OpenAI had an idea of a type of voice they wanted, when Scarlett said no they hired a voice actor. I mean, what? There are many valid criticisms of Sam and OpenAI don't get me wrong but this is one I just can't get on board with.

I feel like I'm missing something though because so many people are commenting on this as though Scarlett had her own voice used without her consent or something.

Aurenkin ,

Ok see this I get. Yes I agree if they did this, it's totally unethical and presumably illegal as well and they should face consequences for that. They claim to have hired voice actors for all their voices though, assuming that's true (maybe a big assumption) I don't think there's an issue but if it's more like what you suggested then it's a big violation.

Aurenkin ,

Rememuary rememuary, the 5th of Novuary.

Aurenkin ,

And Starcraft ripping off 40k

Aurenkin ,

Yes because unfortunately the voting system of your country is broken. It's not your fault, but you have to deal with the consequences of that.

Aurenkin ,

Dude you should definitely just ask her!

Yeah yeah, I'm sure she'd say yes.... definitely next time

Aurenkin ,

Well something like 18% of the world's population lives in China so that's a pretty big chunk of folks right out of the gate.

Aurenkin ,

Yeah I'm with you. Given Tesla's insistence on having only the centre screen for the driver in the Model 3 I can't see removing any mirrors as feasible.

If this is some testing they're doing for a driverless model though it makes more sense.

Aurenkin ,

Claims? More like admits

Aurenkin ,

If the frequency is high enough it megahertz

Aurenkin ,

Fuck Boeing for many reasons but I don't expect them to control the weather ahead of their flights. I don't get any indication from the article that there was any incompetence involved unless I missed something.

Aurenkin , (edited )

How can a celebrity have any rights over the voice of another voice actor just because they have a similar sounding voice to you? I get it's AI so there's some uncanny valley / ethical implications but that idea seems really weird to me.

EDIT: I'm genuinely interested in this and would love to hear counter arguments or gaps in my thinking here. At face value it seems like anyone who has a voice that sounds similar to Scarlett is barred from working as a voice actor if we accept this principle.

Aurenkin ,

If they trained on recordings of Scarlett then that's wrong imo, but hiring voice actors and one of them sounds like her is different. It comes back to my original point, if I listen to some media with someone that sounds like me do I have the right to get the company to take down the audio? I feel like I'm missing something but that's the point I'm getting stuck on.

Aurenkin ,

They were truly ahead of their time.

Russia's Kharkiv offensive – what is the plan? ( www.youtube.com )

Russia has launched an offensive into the Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports. In reality it is difficult to see what Russia's plan is, and it is not self-evident that it is a smart use of resources. In this video I discuss whether we might be seeing a return to the fragmented command structures...

Aurenkin ,

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't watched this creator before but the video was really interesting. It was a good point he raised that in no military strategy book will you find advice to spread your forces all along the line and push a little bit everywhere like the Russians seem to be doing now.

I wonder if it's just the political aspirations of the individual leaders playing out as was suggested in the video. It'd be great news for Ukraine if that was the case for sure.

Aurenkin ,

Yeah exactly...what. It's like asking if your families insurance didn't pay for the damage to the next door neighbours house, what is it for? Hopefully Ukraine will become a member of NATO soon and it will be a different story but right now Ukraine is not under the NATO umbrella.

Keeping pet cats indoors would save millions of native animals and billions of dollars. So what's stopping us? ( www.abc.net.au )

Broader adoption of keeping cats safe at home would have large benefits for cat welfare, human health, local wildlife and even the economy. So, should cat owners be required to keep their pets contained to their property?...

Aurenkin ,

Before pesticides cats used to just starve. Everyone knows this.

Aurenkin ,

What about a snack?

Aurenkin ,

Yeah, you've never had to wait around for something in your car?

Aurenkin ,

Fair enough. I don't think I'd really use it that much either but Steam has pretty great cloud saves and such so I might play a couple of rounds of Balatro or something while I waited and pick it up again back home on the couch on the Steam deck.

Aurenkin ,

Ok so there are two independent corroborating accounts. Seems likely that it's true then.

/s just in case

Aurenkin ,

This is completely unrealistic because the cat actually came inside when the human opened the door.

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads ( www.techradar.com )

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

Aurenkin ,

Guess it's time to use the other download feature.

Aurenkin ,

Greed, same as everything else

Aurenkin ,

It seems to have been a fruitful endeavour.

Aurenkin ,

Fortunately the bible only says to love your neighbour so you can really let loose when travelling.

Aurenkin ,

Hey I'm with you, my comment was supposed to highlight as much. Helping people conquer land is even one of the more palatable examples you can choose from when it comes to morally abhorrent things in the bible.

Aurenkin ,

Isn't it Leviticus 19:18 of the Hebrew Bible?

Aurenkin ,

Nuclear weapon usage does not result in WWIII, it's an end the world button.

Aurenkin ,

Ah yes, the narrative NATO has been skilfully spreading via... checks notes ... Russian state TV...

Aurenkin ,

Sure but if Russia is willing to open the nuclear Pandora's box because they can't make progress in their war in Ukraine, what do you think they will do if they are about to lose a war to NATO in an afternoon? I don't see use of nukes here ending a different way even in the case where NATO initially responds with conventional arms only. Who knows though, I'm pretty damn far from an expert here but hopefully we never have to find out.

Aurenkin ,

Well at least the vast majority of that money will go towards supporting this kind of research..... right?

Aurenkin ,

How could Joe Biden do this

Aurenkin ,

Well deserved. I'm personally putting the game down until 1.0 now but I had fun and you can tell a lot of love has gone into it.

Aurenkin ,

Long term damage? Sounds like a problem for some other quarter.

Aurenkin ,

It's pretty nice never being desperate for work in your life. Not everyone is so lucky though.

Aurenkin ,

This legislation proudly brought to you by Sudafed.

Ron DeSantis: We're going to start a new life.... 🎶under the sea🎶

Aurenkin ,

That's right! Remember folks, it's not a war crime when it's against your own people

Aurenkin ,

Pressure...pushing down on me

Aurenkin ,

The short term is the only thing these companies care about anyway. If it wasn't they'd probably support many socially positive changes.

Aurenkin ,

Well yes, that's kind of the point of a government petition, no? It is your job to make the laws.

Aurenkin ,

File not found, now we are dead.

Aurenkin ,

Oh shit, it's happening! Let's hope they're able to make it in Q3 like they're planning.

Aurenkin ,

I'm trying so hard not to get hyped after all the disappointments but it's difficult.
