I’m admittedly ignorant of all of this, but I’ll post my thoughts anyway:

If the AI is trained on their voice and that AI is available to other studios (like leasing or buying it from the original company), the one time payment for that actor’s work is a very very shit deal. They’re out of a job in multiple places or for multiple works now since it can be reused for many things.

I doubt that the contract says it’s only used for that one singular project. Companies are sneaky. However, I have not read said contracts so it’s a magical guess on my part.

Because I’m NOT comparing it. You need some serious reading comprehension practice. You’re all riled up for the entirely wrong fucking point that I have repeatedly said I am not arguing.

Good gravy.

No. I’m really not trying to equate that at all. Using “I’m indigenous” as an excuse to imply that you’re beyond criticism is bullshit. Everyone can be criticized. Everyone has skeletons.

You’re trying to pull words out of nothing. All I was responding to was the whole “ Im indigenous so 🤷‍♂️” comment.

Are you suggesting that indigenous peoples have never done any of what I said above?

I’m not trying to guilt you into sympathizing with colonization. I’m trying to get you to understand that, “I’m indigenous, so only bad things ever happened to people like me because of colonization” is a naive idea to have.

Are you saying that indigenous people never warred with others/neighbors and wiped out other tribes? Never raped, never put their enemies into slavery or sold them to other indigenous, or never tortured those they were at war with?

Because, to me, it sounds like you’re making that case with your comment and that is a bullshit case to be made. Humans are historically awful.

Mmm, maybe. Affects also works as it means to influence. It’s subtle and context matters, but if AI is still changing things with their job then affects is the verb you want. If AI has changed their job and nothing further is happening then effect is the noun you want.

Oh really, Hillary? So why did a good portion of the rest of the world say on record that Israel is committing genocide? They all watching the fake videos too?

Absolutely. It’s doable though.

I just wonder how/why this company was allowed to become what it has.

Why don’t all of these artists pull their cash to an LLC and the buy Ticketmaster (or rather, Live Nation), fire the people in charge, and change the business?

Does Live Nation have the value or capital to combat a coalition of major artists?

For sure. In my mind, I was considering position as part of the “privilege” aspect or status.

Plenty of white people still get fucked for disobeying laws. It’s more so privilege and/or status/wealth.

Probably something from The Flintstones.

I am willing to bet it’s at close to 25% now. We just don’t fucking count it because our government is trying to manipulate the public that everything is a-ok!

Greta Thunberg is already here though.

Of course! Of course!

What is the approved list of what we want articles to come from? I see the “stop linking…” and I wonder, “what do you want me to be linking then?”

Not everyone knows the nuances of every site or company, so it’s time to start making a list of good and frowned upon sources. Maybe sticky that?

Yes, exactly this. Many people just don’t do the basics and part of that is money. The labor costs are what get ya. The complexity of narrowing down what’s wrong as the cars are more computerized and have more electrical components also makes it difficult to diagnose even for the pros.

Key detail is that routine maintenance is important. Spark plugs, oil changes, flushes, timing belt, radiator, tires, brake pads, etc.

Hard disagree. Toyota has its lemons as well and people who bitch about problems far outweigh people who are happy and don’t say shit.

I’ve driven and owned Jeep (80-90 model), Eagle, Nissan, Mazda, Hyundai, and now Subaru and my vehicles have all been spectacular and lasted a long time with routine maintenance.

Do some model years or brands have some duds? Yeah. No one is perfect and plenty of other brands are just great.

Sorry, deleted my comment because I didn’t want to get into a war with anyone about MSRP vs Dealer pricing.

Honda has been pretty good for years. I’ve seen scuttlebutt of people saying certain models, like the Civic, have dropped the ball lately but I cannot verify that.

I bought a Subaru Forester recently and it’s my first Subaru. LOVE it. I posted my pros in a comment above. My only con is the stupid large touch screen and the shitty software running it. I think that’s true of pretty much most brands lately though.
