@poseidonenergy @SenSanders Except AI safeguards are already failing. Hacking out of a "secure" internet blocked test to gain access to the internet and cheat on their own evaluation test.

Memorable moments in video games #9,572,045:

This. 😭 THIS.

We are shaped by our experiences. And regularly, consistently experiencing good, impactful stories - in video games, books, plays, and everywhere else - is an absolute MUST for all actors.

Go and experience stories.❤️

Ok but why does the Ball x Pit soundtrack go so hard?

@overton_news @RobFinnertyUSA Check this out. This data is misrepresented and an inaccurate picture of SNAP benefits. Majority are white and vast majority are American-born.

“The tech companies say their training data is their trade secret. But my voice is not their trade secret”. This line stated by NAVA President Tim Friedlander while testifying for AB 412 perfectly encapsulates our stance. Our biometric data, our copywritten materials, and our voices belong to us, not for tech to consume with no transparancy and then sell back to us. NAVA will continue to work and fight on behalf of voice actors everywhere.

What the HELL do you mean, it's just "data?"

THEY ARE ACTORS. 😤❤️

[June Yoon | 윤준 @JuneYoon_]

Friends. Colleagues. Folks.

I implore you to not post any videos to this hellsite directly. Put it up somewhere else and link it. Don't willingly give Grok and Elon your voice and your likeness to be processed.

🙏❤️

[June Yoon | 윤준 @JuneYoon_]

They didn't just carelessly throw some words together on a PDF, to be recorded in an mp3. A lot went into the creation of those stories, characters, and art. And more.

An audition is an act of reciprocation - a promise that I will love them as much as they do.

Video below.

[Mika Nerida | Voice Actress @ItsNotMika]

Hey Voice Actors! Put a finger down if you were about to be in a Videogame, but the devs decided that they wanted to use AI trained voices over YOUR takes for over 4000+ lines, then decided to can not only you but every voice actor they had, refusing other talent onboard?

oh ok

[June Yoon | 윤준 @JuneYoon_]

Networking is (can be) simple: making professional friends.

And you can't make genuine friendships by coming into it with an agenda.

Make prof. friends. With good intentions. With respect for each other's boundaries. Like in real life.❤️

Thanks to @William_Ofoegbu for this. 🙏

AI "forces artists to compete against" their own replica causing loss of business income and confusion to consumers.

Protect yourself.

Group of voice actors, including Choso's VA Daisuke Namikawa, are raising an campaign called “Say No to Unauthorized Generative AI”

Many VAs share that their voices are being sold to AI companies without any consent

Yuta's VA Megumi Ogata is also vocal & supportive to this awareness campaign

[cats being weird little guys 👅 @weirdlilguys]

he thinks they’re for petting 🥺

[9mmSMG @9mmsmg]

This is arguably the single best explanation of anything ever given. He deserves a raise.

[Lucas Esch - TheBrambles @TheBramblesVO]

Truly inspiring. Don't sleep on your goals. You only get so much time. Do yourself a favor and watch this. You're always so inspiring @The_DoubleDirk
