F**k you Medialabs .. who/what-ever the f*ck you are

I have a big ask for the fediverse:

I'm looking for a professional voice actor/audiobook narrator who would be willing to chat with me about the industry. It's something I seriously want to pursue but am struggling with self-confidence & where to start. Looking for some guidance, support, maybe a bit of feedback. I know there are tons of websites, and I've been researching. I'd just like to have an honest chat with someone experienced (& not trying to sell me something).

Edit: Thx for replies!

@faraiwe aah, guess i should read the whole thread :)

@faraiwe ...actually, it's stolen BSD 😁

@MusiqueNow @DoomsdaysCW idk ... hate to say it but americans are likely to just let it happen. I don't see anything short of (maybe .. big maybe) mass starvation and open slaughter of white people in the streets waking anyone here from their slumber. We are, despite our bluster, are a people largely comprised of a dangerously uneducated, easily manipulated population that is purposefully and willfully ignorant of the realities of the world around them. America seems to have reached some sort of critical mass where we are, in actuality, no longer capable of real self governance.

I wish it were different and i hope ultimately i'm wrong since i'm here for the duration ... but if your a human from another country looking at the US populace and hoping or expecting some sort of organizing or action or uprising or whatever, i wouldn't hold my breath cuz it isn't gonna happen anytime soon

For the love of god can we stop anthropomorphising LLMs. No, ChatGPT did not "come up with an excuse" or "think about its mistakes". Gemini did not "lie about its reasoning" or "struggle to understand basic concepts". Grok didn't "decide to praise Nazis" or "express it's support for genocide".

They're mimics designed cynically to trick you into assigning them a humanity that they'll never have, and giving them false agency allows their designers and creators an innocence they don't deserve.

@peter they call those people CEOs 🤣

In case ANYONE is wondering (namely at @Defcon ), please feel free to refer to this useful chart, for guidance.

Inaction against nazis is tacit approval and indirect support. Anything OTHER than immediate, absolute push back is a wink and nudge to nazis, and an invitation.

@mrbadger42 you missed the part where they get her to pin the whole operation on Bill and Hillary

Very good friend of mine

Making the world worse makes it worse and then it's worse. The way to make the world better is by making it better.

“It has to get worse to get better” is a stupid idea.

@HealCity you know there are a LOT of real life runners in the world (me included), .. posting an ai-generated image of a runner to punctuate your message is pure lazy AND disingenuous - you are here by banished to the muted zone :)
