I don’t get it. What good reason is there for the state to make a law like this?

I wouldn’t ever want someone to be able to own a tone/sound of voice. I’m with you there.

But it kinda sounds like they’re trying to straight-up imitate her. Like they want people to hear this ai and think it’s voiced by johanssen herself.

I don’t know if that’s true, or if it even makes a difference legally, it’s just the impression I’m getting.

I’m not knowledgeable about any of this; any correction is welcome, lol.

I sincerely wish I could unread “skin puppy”

You’re absolutely right, and I’m sorry for jumping to the worst assumption. I’m gonna take this as a sign to log off and touch some grass. /gen

The show is politically charged because… there’s an enby person? Or am I misunderstanding you

Speaking as a trans person, it’s great that you’re not, but some people definitely are. That said, yes, it sounds like we’re good :)

Oklahoman here. I don’t know whether Nex died by suicide or not. But on a local level, the Owasso (and greater) community hasn’t given up the fight yet. Whether his injuries from the attack at school are what directly killed him or not, it doesn’t change the fact that he’d been a target of bullying for months and that he and his family were repeatedly ignored by the school and the police, and then he was beaten in the school bathroom by several classmates. Since his death, our politicians have doubled down on transphobic rhetoric, and our schools are still becoming more and more hostile towards LGBT+ youth. There’s a lot to talk about here, and local organizations have done a great job on covering these issues in press releases and the like. And there’s still more to come; we’re currently waiting on the release of the Medical Examiner’s full report (unless it’s been published already; I last checked about a week ago, and I just don’t have the emotional spoons today).

Anyway, sorry for going into a whole rant. What I was going to say, in reply to your comment, is that our OCME (office of the chief medical examiner) hasn’t been nationally accredited since 2009. So, um. There’s that. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

I’m looking forward to the day when “certified human content” is a thing, and that’s all search engines allow you to see.

I can’t wait for that. I get the feeling it’s gonna get real messy before we figure out solutions to all the problems caused by AI-generated content.

I mean yeah, there’s already plenty of human-generated misinformation and shit, but it seems to me (not an expert) like ai is capable of fucking with society on a whole new scale.

The public bus drivers in my city do this too :)
