GoldenJoystickAwards - Twitch The official live stream of The Golden Joystick Awards #50YearsOfGames

You might want to watch The Golden Joystick Awards show at twitch.tv/goldenjoysti... and see what a gift we've prepared for you 😉

You can create a pipeline where you have a roster of actors "on-call" who can turn round audio within 4 hours, this is not a difficult thing to achieve.

AI is a choice and a different one could easily have been made that would keep it collaborative, ethical and in the spirit of creating art.

If you, as a studio decide you're going to use human voices, you can easily create a fast, responsive pipeline.

There are 1000s of voice actors, ready and available with broadcast quality home studios that can get you audio, fast.

This is a leadership problem, not a logistical one.

Like others I played the Arc Raiders playtest, enjoyed it and was looking forward to the game only to discover they are using AI voices.

Their reasoning was that they can "go from ideation to implemented voice work in hours not months"

Thing is, that's not an AI issue, that's a pipeline problem...

Well

Here is Kayli Mills - voice of Keqing in Genshin Impact - explaining that she tries to believe the best if a client signs AI protections, even basic ones

She then states in Genshin’s case *there is no language pertaining to AI at all*

Unlike on other Hoyo games

ZERO protections from AI on Genshin

Today, a press conference was held celebrating the SAG-AFTRA-supported, bipartisan Nurture Originals, Foster Art and Keep Entertainment Safe (NO FAKES) Act as it was reintroduced in the Senate.

Bruh these Severance AI Ghibli videos are pissing me off. Stop making them. Stop sharing them. So fucking icky.

We can't ban AI. But we can regulate the hell out of it. We can make sure if they're going to use it, we know exactly how and when and why and how much. And we can make sure they can't do it without paying us an equivalent rate to just hiring humans to do the job.

Except... you know... better.

Smiling bc I made one bottle of my dude medication last for most of the month, so I can stockpile. Sad because I know I shouldn’t have to even do that.

Instead of recommending that recently laid off BioWare devs risk everything to start their own studios (lol like it's so easy?)

You could take a bit of that energy and buy games from some that already did ☺️

Eternal Strands just launched this week and I'm pretty sure Stray Gods is on sale!

What Swen said at the Game Awards is so right and more people in charge should listen and that’s all I’m going to say for now.

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

People Have Had Non-Binary Genders for Thousands of Years It's nothing new.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.

But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost.
They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong.

Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread

Not the tiktok ads to remind me to do my taxes. The room hath not been read.

Really rushed the tiktok ban arc tbh

My SSD with all my likes and faves is about to join my "emergency go bag"

Screenshot of text from a search bar reads “How actors cry on cue”

Pls don’t cry on me. I’ll leave.

What a treat!

A rephrase: is it worth hurting your peers *and* the progress of the strike over?

The more people continue to show companies that there will always be actors willing to undercut each other, even faced with the risk of AI replacing many more of us, the longer the strike goes on.
