Masako Nozawa comments on the use of generative AI in voice acting:
"I can't forgive using it without asking. I want people to follow the rules.”
After watching AI videos of her voice: "This is not my voice. Using it without asking is unforgivable. It's the same as stealing, and it makes me angry. My voice is mine, and my acting is mine too. If anyone uses even a little of it, they should get permission."
"What (AI) makes might sound like me. It might even be a perfect copy. But it has no heart, does it? Without heart, it's no good, whatever the role. Even a voice that's only crying is different when you cry with real feeling. That's what I believe."
To young people aiming to become voice actors in the AI era: "Work hard so that people say, as a voice actor, it absolutely has to be that person. Without heart, you're just reading the letters of the lines, so make them living words."
Let me explain Russia and Ukraine to MAGA in a language you might actually understand.🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦
Imagine you have a neighbor you don’t like and he doesn’t like you. One morning he doesn’t knock on your door. He kicks the fucking door down with a bunch of armed friends, shoots whoever tries to stop him, moves into your house, takes over half of it, abuses your family, kidnaps one of your kids and starts teaching that kid that your family never really existed and that the house actually belongs to him.
You fight back. You manage to push him out of some rooms, but he still occupies half of your house. Your friends start bringing you guns and ammunition because otherwise this motherfucker is going to take the rest of it too.
Then suddenly some guy from across town shows up and says, “Why are you so pro war? Why don’t you negotiate? People are dying. We need peace.”
So your neighbor offers you his brilliant peace plan: “I keep the rooms I already stole. I keep whatever I took from your family. You promise never to join the neighborhood security organization that might protect you from me. Your friends stop giving you weapons. And then I promise I won’t take the rest of your house.”
Would you call that peace? Would you hand him half of your fucking house?
Would you tell your wife and children that sacrificing them is necessary because fighting back is “pro war”?
Or would you load every fucking weapon you own and tell him to get the hell out of your house?
That is the part I cannot understand about MAGA.
The same people who tell me they would shoot somebody for stepping onto their property suddenly become fucking Gandhi when Russia crosses an international border with tanks, occupies Ukrainian cities, kills civilians, kidnaps children and then demands Ukrainian territory as the price of “peace.”
Russia can invent whatever excuses it wants about NATO, Nazis or Russian speakers. None of those excuses gave Russia ownership of Ukraine.
Peace is not the victim giving the attacker whatever he managed to steal.
That is cowardice and surrender.
And if you wouldn’t accept it in your own fucking house, stop demanding that Ukrainians accept it in theirs.
The EU just granted a record number tourist visas to Russians. More than any time since 2022. All while:
• Most still support terror in Ukraine
• Arson and sabotage attacks are constant
This is madness.
@gglabadze@UnityNewsNet David Clews opinion on how the war would've ended if the west hadn't given financial and military aid to ukraine, is bollix imo. If the west allowed Donbas to be taken, then russia would just attempt to take more of Ukraine and establish an even bigger domineering force in Europe
@Raiyuden_YT I am scared to play PvP. Other than that, amazing part one.

Dr. Giorgi Akhobadze's supporters in court when they heard he was cleared of falsified drug charges.
This is the first time they haven't convicted a political prisoner in Georgia. Things seem to have shifted for Ivanishvili.
Today marks three years since Russia’s aggression against Ukraine began. Georgia and its people stand with Ukraine.
Our future is shared. We also deserve a just and lasting peace, united in a free and independent Europe.
Day 82 of nonstop protests in Georgia. Rustaveli is blocked, again.
Tomorrow, we 'celebrate' the birthday of our Russian oligarch. Keep an eye on us, should be fun. 🇬🇪🇪🇺
At this very moment in Tbilisi, the entire corrupt judiciary, physically escaping the angry people, is realizing that it’s getting dark for them, and that even the police isn’t putting much effort into defending them. This is one of those necessary new levels. #GeorgiaProtests
@pheradzem@Choba7777@Zourabichvili_S Sooo, are we all racist and rapist because our ancestors were? We aren't responsible for what any of our relatives have done.
It’s impossible to convey the gratitude the people of Georgia have for President @Zourabichvili_S. She is hailed as almost a deus ex machina, the unexpected rock of her nation and the motherly figure for the people.
Not backing her continued legitimacy is a betrayal of Georgians.
#Georgiaprotests Today 16th day of protests in Tbilisi, not just night demonstrations any more, but protests are now all day long and all over the city: here at heroes square at 3pm https://t.co/ho3thkOAt8
