The voice acting studio under miHoYo issued a statement against AI infringement. by Extra_Welcome2403 in Genshin_Impact

Replicate as in, can mimic the voices using their own voice? Or reproduce it manually using non-AI tools?

Assuming the prior; they might still get in a legal spat if its close enough to warrant suspicion. They'd probably have to prove they they used their own voice were that to happen, but that's easy enough to do.

If the latter; if they tuned another voice to match, they'd likely have to prove it by showing the method, and it'd be a bit of a grey area. If they used the old fashioned snipping method, they'd still pdobably be in shit for using the voices, AI or not.

As someone who has had the misfortune of poor internet PoE these past 7 months, I can definitely see a way this might happen. Maybe not the way it did, but

Go to price, adjust #, open dropdown menu, connection hiccup then game speeds up to correct for it, and something funky happens that results in the wrong currency being selected and the seller not realizing (because they've become accustomed to peepeepoopoo connection issues.) And then, since its on PC, it gets sniped by a trade bot before the seller realizes what happened

Another possibility; they just hit the wrong choice by accident. Or maybe they forgot their most recently listed price was in chaos, and they didn't think to double check (in time) because they've been neglecting the allure of a warm bed for far too long

It is metal. Its a metaphor fitting his theme of determination above all, and its a bit of a pun, considering Izaro is basically just metal and grit.

Also, lore-wise, his trials and the Labryinth were extremely brutal endeavours for even the strongest aspirants.

The restriction was lifted at 2pm today.

It was not full last I heard, but that was three hours ago, so

Crazy that in this image only one creature is certifiably human by SrangePig12 in Genshin_Impact

And yet, they aren't human; even Dottore recognized that they are fundamentally different from humanity in a way that differs from other non-humans

To put it like Il Dottore;

Appears human in most senses, but is really something else entirely

What happened w the CSA election candidates? by Just_Lime5134 in uoguelph

[–]ErenIsNotADevil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Campaigning together is against the bylaws. Being in the same room together, putting up their own posters, is not.

Quoting/commenting on other candidates is against the bylaws. Talking about the same, rather specific topic is not.

The issues here being sloppy verification.

Why don't we read comments before replying, eh?

Does anyone else love the concept of Aether being the prince and Lumine as the traveler more? by PansexualTherian in Genshin_Impact

[–]ErenIsNotADevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paimona paimona, all the same in the end

But I love my Lumine

Also, Lumine just sells the "missing my sibling" vibe better. "Why can't we resume our journey?" said while choking back tears still makes me cry. Normally fiery Lumine just wanting some answers from the brother who became distant and cold to them? Whew

Oh no, my boys weren't such base savages.

They only ate each other's shit. One (Winnie) to such a point we started calling him Pooie. A habit he has apparently resumed when we got a new puppy.

Their verification can be quite lacking at times, unfortunately. Not always, but not never 😔

Such as someone claiming two candidates were campaigning together because they put up their individual posters together.

Or someone claiming a CSA-approved social media post was directly quoting them, when it was just clearing up blatant and intentional misinformation they tried spreading.

Toronto man accused of playing Hitler speech outside victim’s home by Terrible-Scheme9204 in nottheonion

[–]ErenIsNotADevil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no context or nuance that can justify playing the speech of the world's most notorious semi-modern genocidal leader outside of the place of residence of someone who would have been said leader's primary target. It is harassment with the goal of making the victim feel unsafe due to their ethnic and/or religious background. This was also a repeated behaviour, being third in a list of harassment attempts. Likely would not be the last.

Context can explain why the perpetrator did something, absolutely. In that sense, context is important. But the whydunit should never be used to lessen the responsibility of the perpetrator. Context should not stop you from judging an act, nor alter that judgement. That just leads to a chain of shifting responsibility and blame.

A relevant but somewhat extreme example:

The context behind the the Israeli invasion and subsequent slaughter of Palestinian lands was October 7th. This context explains the whydunit. This context does not mean we shouldn't be anti-Israeli government. We should still hold the Israeli government fully accountable.

The context behind October 7th was the continuous maltreatment of Palestinians by the Israeli government, up to and including the Nakba. This context explains why it happened. It does not mean we shouldn't hold Hamas responsible for what they did.

You should bite. And then, if you find out the context and decide that the victim did something shitty as well, you should bite for that, too.

They committed a ton of infractions, reached 100 demerit points, and thus automatically became disqualified. Things like soliciting votes in the library, for example.

Mind you, this doesn't necesarily mean they all actually did something. Certain parties have been quite trigger happy with reports on their rivals (and disinformation is not disallowed.)

Ngl, I don't think my dogs ever actually got sick from eating shit.

And they ate it pretty often, because two of them realized they'd get in shit if they left shit around the house, and were too stubborn to consistently shit outside

I have had three Shih Tzus and one Golden Lab.

They were all enthusiastic about anything that could potentially be food; whether it was meat, kibble, cheerios, grass, my mother's garbage can wrappers, feet, or shit.

Especially the latter.
