SAG-AFTRA Approves AI Voice Actors, Enrages the VA Community
  • There is nothing wrong with this news. In fact, it is good news.

    We develop technologies, and then we are not supposed to use them? It was obvious that certain jobs had an expiration date, and dubbing is clearly one of them.

    If we had to stop progress, we would still be having silent movies, otherwise the person writing the intertitles would lose its job. Or even no movies at all.

  • Microsoft is Discontinuing Windows Mixed Reality VR Headsets
  • You clearly lack understanding of the industry's current stance on these technologies. It's crucial to be informed before making such statements. The industry has largely disregarded VR, its only significant presence being in gaming, where it remains unimpressive. In contrast, AR is revolutionizing XR applications across various sectors. It offers numerous opportunities to optimize workflows and enhance work experiences. Consider Microsoft's recent release of MRTK3, which further sidelines VR. Think carefully about the reality of the industry before making unfounded statements.

  • Microsoft is Discontinuing Windows Mixed Reality VR Headsets
  • VR wasn't here to stay - at least for how it is now. Hopefully they are leaving VR behind to focus on the pragmatic potential of AR.

  • Bringing god in a discussion is such a 16th century farmer move. You surprised me. Shall we discuss the motion of the planets too? Spoiler alert: the heliocentric system is possibly made up.

  • Israel hits Bethlehem in Christmas raids on occupied West Bank
  • Well, then I am sorry for you. You should look for people with better ideals - they are out there.

  • And I am not American, you little-minded homunculus. Grow up.

  • That's your problem, we don't care.

  • Just a small correction: In the EU and the US we are happily supporting Israel.

  • Volkswagen Admits Failure, Will Bring Back Physical Buttons
  • Volkswagen's return to physical buttons is long overdue. Imagine causing a car accident because you're distracted by a touchscreen, unsure if you pressed the right thing. Touchscreens became popular in cars because the market blindly follows the majority's whims. Present the touchscreen versus button issue to most people, and they'll choose touchscreens, misled by a lack of technical understanding. In their minds, old equals buttons, new equals touchscreen, and therefore, touchscreen must be better. They fail to see the bigger picture or care about this crucial design flaw, dismissing it as trivial.

    This is just one of the many ways a market driven by majority preference results in mediocre solutions, never reaching the best possible option. And those who genuinely seek the optimal solution are left suffering the consequences, outnumbered by the masses who don't realize the impact of their uninformed choices.

  • It is definitely a show that moves your emotions, as the players have to both team up and fight against each other. If you like to watch social experiments, it is worth giving it a try. It is a bit cringe though, I warn you: a lot of crying and behaviors that can make you hate the players with all your soul. It gets more interesting as you watch it, as the number of players crumbles down.

    If you watched the original Squid Game, check out at least the first two episodes.

  • HP exec says quiet part out loud when it comes to locking in print customers
  • Your message pivots on the notion that supporting Israel is inherently wrong, which introduces a bias, making your argument logically flawed.

    I can criticize HP for its poor technological performance while maintaining my support for Israel.

    Consider NSO Group: by your logic, it's a technologically advanced company with questionable ethics. I find this logical because, although I'm intrigued by the technology behind Pegasus and recognize its technical excellence, I disagree with how its spyware is used. This distinction between technological skill and ethical standing is vital.

    Regarding HP, according to your logic, it is deficient both technologically and ethically. Thus, it's justifiable to criticize it on technological grounds, moral grounds, or both. But for what concerns me, my support for Israel does not factor into my view of HP, as I would only consider boycotting HP for its poor products and services.

    If any boycott against HP is generalized as an anti-Israel stance, then HP will continue unaffected, and no boycott will succeed. Hence, it's vital to boycott HP for its actual failings, not because of a political agenda pushed by a few, which could sabotage the effectiveness of the boycott.
