It’s really location dependent. Some places you’ll see the birds in seconds and others never. You’ll need to know the climate, local weather, soil conditions, what else is growing in the area, time of year, etc. to get an accurate answer.

“I refuse (voiceover) work that states they’ll take my voice and make an AI model from it,” voice actor Brad Ziffer told CNBC. “The best way to protect myself is to just stay away.”

As you should. There is a big difference between narrating and giving away personality rights.

But the article kind of negates the title.

However, experts say seamlessly replicating the way a human talks with AI is still a ways away. Human beings offer unique intonation, cadence, and emotion when they speak.

Voice artist narration for big title releases isn’t going away anytime soon. And if it does the job is going to be replaced with technical/artistic jobs fine tuning the generated narration.

What I actually see happening in the short term is it becoming profitable to do generative narration of smaller authors and books that would be profitable using traditional voice work.

In time I could see this working it’s way up the budget ladder into larger projects but that’s still a way off.

I wouldn’t call it selfish. They want tools for more granular control on their instance. That’s perfectly fine. If they limit who can post or comment based on the instance they are from. The other instances are perfectly free to limit their users as well in response or for their own arbitrary reasons.

There seems to be a distinct lack of controls across lemmy as a whole. The only option for them is all or nothing at the moment.

I think the big take away is for users to think about what instance they create their accounts and communities on.

Sorry if I seemed argumentative. I was trying to state that it wasn’t just your opinion that they don’t own user data but it is a fact they don’t own user data.

Already a thing as far as I know. For example lemmy.world federation/block list.

It’s not their data. If you scrape Reddit for the comments are reposted them somewhere else Reddit wouldn’t be able to come after you with a copyright violation lawsuit.

Any potential copyright is still owned by the original user with Reddit having a license to sublicense for “syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Reddit.”

They would have to come after you with a ToS contract violation or maybe some kind of Computer Fraud and Misuse allegations.

Some subs went into restricted posting mode and made it so the only post in the past 2 days is that Reddit is killing 3rd-party apps. I’m not sure how you are expecting r/all to actually look. Even if every major subs closed their doors forever, as long as there is any activity on the site r/all will be populated.

As far as I know that is correct. I personally don’t like because it’s dehumanizing them when we don’t have to.

If we were in combat and actually needed to shoot at them and needed to dehhumanize them for our own psychological health that would be one thing. But we are all probably safe sitting on the toilet, so we probably shouldn’t need to resort to it.

I think it also implies guilt of all Russian soldiers. They are deserving of all protections under international law, mainly getting shot at on the battlefield and a dignified confinement when they surrender or are incapacitated, until proven otherwise. And if they did something horrifying enough to be called an orc, they should probably be hanged, after trial, and not even dignified with discussion.

Just need the people complaining about people complaining post followed by a rule baning complaining about people. Then we can get the golden meta post of complaining about the rule stopping you from complaining about people.

Just a simple call-reaponse meme. AnarchyChess ended spreading everywhere. Probably because chess took off with middle and high schoolers during 2020 lockdown.

Someone is spamming scat porn. They are getting reported. The page has live updates and tells everyone that sometimes has been reported.

The UI is just a bit janky and buggy on mobile. The amount up votes is constantly changing as I type this comment. I also think I might of reported this post twice just while trying to scroll.

I do like the size of the communities through.

It’s going to depend on how content gets indexed.

Doing some quick test searches on Google I think using “site:lemmy.*” gives the best results overall if you don’t know which specific community you are trying to search in.
