David Attenborough "Profoundly Disturbed" By AI Clone Of His Voice
  • It’s being reported the cloned voice is being used in news reports on YouTube channels such as The Intellectualist on issues such as the Ukraine-Russia war and the Donald Trump.

    Speaking of AI, seems like this article was written by it as well.

  • Tony Todd Dies: ‘Candyman’ Star Whose Hundreds Of Credits Include ‘Final Destination’ Films & ‘Platoon’ Was 69
  • Damn I just randomly selected a Voyager ep last night and it was the one where he was a Hirogen hunting a stranded Species 8472. Then I see this today. 😢

    Even in full makeup and under a mask it was unmistakenly him, the man was a goddamn imposing presence. You will be missed, sir! 🫡

  • Non-Americans who have been to the US.. What is the weirdest thing about America that Americans don't realize is weird?
  • Yeah but how do you consult those rules? How often are they updated? How do you get notified of updates?

    The fact that there are no answers to these questions and therefore everyone is working with mismatching rule sets makes the whole thing useless. You can be totally well meaning and still piss off a server because somehow you don’t know what the currently acceptable magic number is.

    I recently visited the states for the first time in a decade and didn’t find out until afterwards that 15% is now considered by some people to be “low”. Sorry everyone who I tipped, I shafted you without realizing it. 🤷‍♂️

  • Be kind to the old fellows
  • As an old cat adopter I want to add one thing to this. Yes, it hurts to lose them when their time comes, but something I didn’t expect is that after the mourning I’ve always started to feel a sense of urgency to find the next old timer to rescue. I’ll remember the time and love I had from the ones before and I curse how much time was wasted while they waited in a shelter for someone to come for them. Why couldn’t I have found them sooner? They deserved so much more love and comfort, where the hell was I? Then we go out and find our new friends that have been waiting for us for so long and our family gets better again.

    It’s always tough knowing that our time with them is short, but that’s true of any animal relationship. In the end we’re left with the love for them which in my experience never diminishes. We may say more tearful goodbyes when connecting with the old ones, but over time the wonderful memories and love in our lives just accumulates more and more.

    I agree the responsibility (and occasional expense) of caring for older animals is not always in everyone’s capabilities, but I implore you not to avoid considering welcoming one (or more) into your life solely because of aversion to the pain that comes from losing them. The love they give outweighs it a thousandfold.

  • I Prove Hollywood Effects Aren't BAD, They're RUSHED
  • Kinda interesting to see a VFX youtube channel get this real about the industry (no doubt on the back of "No CGI is really just invisible CGI", see [post here on that series](https://lemmy.ml/post/13485455)).

    I don’t know about that, Corridor Crew has been keeping it real on the realities of the VFX business for years now.
