.SAG-AFTRA's Duncan Crabtree-Ireland to the Senate Judiciary IP Subcommittee: 'AI technology left unregulated poses an existential threat' 👏

If you don't have time to watch Florent's GDC talk that was just put online (youtu.be/yeyMASDMfB4?si…), here's a summary in one screenshot:

THE BEST

I love this game so much 😭😭😭

Also my crew, and playing this game with the crew

(Let the record show that she was, in fact, good for the stim.)

AB 2602 will protect against abusive A.I. practices and save careers. Support this bill and protect artists!

hey Zoom, all I wanted was unlimited meeting time. Rolling it over automatically into something with 'AI-powered collaboration' without specifying what that means or its foundations, is pretty gross. Just tell me what the hell it is and if I can keep the one feature I like.

It seems #VoiceActors is trending, so here's your periodic reminder that the cast of my upcoming adventure game ROSEWATER is absolutely stacked!

Yall😭😭😭

Living or deceased, performers to be RESPECTED. Pass AB 1836 to provide crucial intellectual property protections against A.I.

That walk cycle tells a story. It’s why you hire actors (esp legends like Noshir Dalal)

We can’t leave movement performers behind wrt AI & this is why. Nosh paints a detailed picture of the psychology & physical history that goes into every move.

Devs, please give this epi a👂

Many thanks to Bryant Francis wrote up a breakdown of my burnout talk with Tim Stobo at GDC. Please help us keep this conversation going. It’s too important to ignore.

The full microtalk is up in the GDC vault! Learn about leveraging soft power to become better industry leaders, stay for bangers such as:
'Unionization is a collective action'
'My ass is 4'11'
'I'm the baby'
'You can't win the Galactic War by yourself'
