Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

Cis people saying "cis" is a slur is like white people saying calling them "white" is a slur. First, you're just wrong. And second, you're in no position to complain. Whining is a bad look on an oppressor

How to Write Alt Text and Image Descriptions for the visually impaired Making your website and social media accessible to people with blindness and low vision.

Why are you not using ALT text when posting images?

It’s a genuine question - visually-impaired folks rely on screen readers to announce alt text so they can understand an image's meaning and function, and you’re actively excluding them without providing it.

Perkins has a great guide to ALT text:

MIT study finds AI can already replace 11.7% of U.S. workforce Artificial intelligence can already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market, across finance, health care and professional services, according to MIT's study.

Headline: "AI can replace 11.7% of workforce"

Actual study: Anthropic paid MIT to use a "labor simulation tool" that said 11.7% of TASKS could be done by AI

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

Hire Celeste!
She is an incredible professional managing due dates and professionalism like an all-time pro, and has gathered plenty of experience working both with books and the TTRPG space.

Her rates are extremely accessible and she doesn't disappoint. I want her for all my projects!

Seeing OTHER anime being AI dubbed, including shows that have already been dubbed proper by other studios no less (No Game No Life and Dororo via Sentai Filmworks) is such a telling sign of how greedy Amazon is being.

Disrespectful to the creators, clients, studios AND the audience when you use AI.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
