There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I’m watching with interest.

Thankfully there are alternatives out there, and we should be using them.

They don’t. The message right now is to boycott Spotify.

Totally agree. I’m not sure why everyone focuses so hard on determining how many letters there are in their alphabet. 5 years from now it might be totally diff. It would be so refreshing if people simply said “Here’s what floats my boat today”

Yo, Netflix! This one right here! Read it and understand plz

I think there ARE other ways to combat this, and the main one is ending activist investors that empower the Jack Welch pump and dump doctrine.

If someone wants to invest in something because they like it, they should be able to do that. What they should NOT be able to do is overwhelm a company they may or may not even like with dollars and then tell the company how to run its own business. If you don’t like what a company is doing, you SELL YOUR STOCK.

It’s this incessant worshiping of the shareholder that is step # 1 of enshittifcation.

Cancelled two weeks ago, and while it’s too early for me to have a fully informed opinion, so far I’ve noticed that if you just hold items in your cart until you reach some kind of threshold (and I admittedly don’t know what that is) you can get free shipping anyway.

It’s almost like I was paying all that money just so I could one off order anything on a whim. I’m an adult, I can exercise impulse control and stick it to Amazon in some small way by doing it. Win/Win.

Henceforth I will refer to OpenAI as ClosedAI.

I am embarrassed how long it took me to get this xD

Like I’d fully disengaged from my computer to eat dinner then came running back up the stairs

Only the big ones. Hope you brought a scale on your hiking trip.

Haha those are hornet’s nests.

Thanks is a less formal thank you.

Maybe OP thinks that someone is dissing them by being informal?

Dunno

Honestly, learning how to make/grow things yourself and forming a community of others who do the same thing for different items is the most revolutionary act you could do in this world.

Video beamed. Video intercepted by aliens. Think cats rule earth.

They’re right.

Not to mention that CO2 was previously captured before you can even put it into your drink. taps temple knowingly

When a corporation is willing to lose billions of dollars to capture an audience, effectively locking out any competition, and then counters any possible avenue to blocking their monopolistic stance, your first statement shouldn’t be about choice, because there isn’t one.

I love how they blame Unity’s shortfall on acquisitions, but make no argument whatsoever that perhaps acquisitions should be more carefully considered with regard to the bottom line.

“Let the plebs pay for it!”

So, they mad b/c of an internal skill issue.

I think he meant that the eruptions filled the atmosphere with CO2. THEN the heat trapped under it warmed the planet. Context matters.

Will Microsoft also bend the knee to China for gaming $$$? We’ll soon find out.
