    Wow dat shit is both cursed and insulting to voice actors as well as gamers.

    “Too stupid to progress in the game and look for tips online? Let our voice-stealing AI play the game for you while you go back to work, you stupid slave.”

      I was just thinking that one person I’ve met is an incredibly gifted actor, including voice acting. There are a few records floating around having heard which no man wants to live. I haven’t had a chance to listen to them in full, patiently and for a few times, but I hope some day I will.

      So-o … I don’t think this is something that can be done properly by a machine. Not yet. Too much context and nuance. And also I’m not sure this is legal. I don’t think those actors consented to any other derivative works other than the original games.

      Because they hand patents out for anything especially under the Trump patent office. If I remember correctly they don’t do any prior art review any more. You practically just have to apply for a patent. They’re cutting reviewers and it’s going to cost billions in lawsuits to undo the patents they should never have handed out.

        We all hate Trump but I’m pretty sure tech industry patents have been fucked for a while.

        Like… Apple and Samsung sued each other over rounded corners nearly 10 years ago.

        The system has been and remains broken was the point I was trying to make with my rhetorical question.

          Everyone pause to let that sink in. If there’s a point where stupidity ought to be criminally punishable, I think we found it. Because unless the patent office staff can produce IQ tests proving they are actually that stupid, we should prosecute them for taking bribes.

    All Sony’s characters are boring and generic what could they possibly talk about.
