Voice actor Lex Lang just sharing AI video as a promo for his con appearance

You know, for fun.

(warning - he does like a jumpscare thing right after the puppy footage, which is still not the most upsetting thing about the clip)

OH i see now. its just quite a reach with the outfit limitations that i couldnt connect the dots. like before, i wont answer here so somebody else guesses it.

This is btw after internal rumors of replacement

And this earlier

Out of curiosity I checked out the "Higgs Audio V2" model that was being used in the hackathon.

Here's the promo video they were using in July to showcase what it can do

Note that the opening title card states it has been trained on 10 million+ hours of voice data

Whose? From where?

*SHRUG*

The huge take away here is -this- key statement:

"All 19 Co-signers state that while they embrace the idea of generative AI and it’s “creative” potential"

Which is them saying "We, mega companies, can use GenAi however we want but reserve the right to say -no- when it infringes on our ip."

im curious how thats gonna go down because the NFT thing was annoying and just never really fully took off becuase it was basically another cryptocurrency, it was just far more publicly pushed. all this shit right now is TOO much actual investment to have a utility that is already been failing.

Can’t wait for AI shit to go the way of NFTs and make a whole lot of idiots broke

Vilifying union efforts is a common theme this year.

okay, update: i have had this question answered, and I am now looking to speak to game QA testers ON the record about the weirdest, silliest-sounding things they've had to do to make sure games work. the wackier the better. happy to keep folks anon if they prefer. DMs open, email/Signal in bio

‘Grand Theft Auto’ Studio Accused of Union Busting After Firings Union says 30 and 40 people were terminated. Rockstar Games’ parent company cites ‘gross misconduct’

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If we really want to deter suicide and self-harm, we should prescribe social media to teenagers, not ban it The anti-teen-social-media case keeps falling apart even as it peaks politically.

this design looks like if Kab got an edgier-than-he-already-kind-of-looks comic book spin-off. this looks super sick.

genuinely impressed at some of these outfits.
1. Smurfs from The Smurfs
2. i havent a clue
3. Androids 16, 17, 18 from DBZ(and with the dev-intended Son Goku cosplay in the game, 16 can dunk a Son Goku😆)
4. Buzz, Woody, Jessie from Toy Story

Unfortunately I suspect as union activity gains momentum and popular support in this broken industry we will continue to see studios ramp up their union busting efforts.

Be smart: practice good infosec, read up on typical union-busting tactics, and most importantly: don’t let them scare you.

The coroner quote offends me on such a deep level that I cannot imagine how much it must hurt the people close to her

this is absolutely wild. i knew her from back in the LJ days even though we'd fallen out of contact, she was delightful and adorable and a thoroughly pleasant nerd to know. i am stunned and appalled because good fucking god

your daily reminder that coming into a streamer's chat and making unwarranted sexual comments is actually really fucking weird! you are weird! go touch grass!

Just after 12am local time (8am BST) on October 16th 2025, Nevvie collapsed mid-sentence and never regained consciousness. Despite the best efforts of myself and the emergency services she slipped away rapidly and was pronounced dead within the hour. The LA coroner won’t be investigating the cause of her sudden death because “she was fat”. I am pursuing a 3rd party investigation and waiting for more information. This happened six days after our 16th anniversary, Nevvie was 47. Four years ago we lost our home to a fire. This year she lost her father while I was in hospital for emergency spine reconstruction surgery. Though it could be stressful she had a job she loved at Sega, a company she could be proud to be part of, one she helped to unionize.

RGG localizer Michele Howe (Neverwhere/Nevvie) has just passed. If you can, please share or donate to the fundraiser for a proper coronary report and final expenses.

the test animations had more detail and weight to them than the demo does. i was looking forward to trying this out and i bounced off this one. i like the concepts but the executions feel lacking. hope improves over time.
