This tech is going to completely derail communication and discussion in modern society and all people here are talking about is how weird they look or how it's "the same" as news already. That's...not great.

I'm not sure what idea I hate more: Blank faced puppet cg reporters reciting horrible events, or cg puppets acting sad about their reports. Both are just...not fun.

NFTs sucked hard, but this is Fake News on ketamine mixed with steroids. Maybe not this channel, but it's gonna be a thing. This is wild.

Might even be able to adjust the "facts" they say, given a malicious enough company.

The deepest of ironies in a company allegedly made to report "facts", primarily using artificiality to do so.

Even if they are completely earnest and honest, the tech they are helping spearhead is going to completely change how information is approached and will be one of the biggest challenges, if not the biggest challenge, we are going to face as a society in a long time. This is really unnerving to watch develop in front of my eyes.

"More efficient" in that there is zero point to be opposed by anyone else down the line. While it's not like we're getting a lot of resistance from media workers all the time right now, real people are going to have a breaking point if things go too far in some direction. Now all executives will need to worry about is appeasing an audience, and with robot reporters that will say anything and everything, that's not a problem in the slightest.

Ethics never enter the equation. The highest priority in business is capital, and any company at the level of Netflix follows that maxim religiously. They may be seen following progressive trends, but any good they end up doing only stems from it being profitable to do so.

In other words - no, companies have never not been soulless, and it serves us well to always remember that.

Like I started my first comment with, I'm not assuming that's what they meant with their "correction". I'm just pointing out the poor optics with a comment like that. And as I said to the other user, the whole slogan is "Trans rights are human rights". There's no need to "correct" it - it's already there.

You get how unhelpful this is, right? Like, do you go to abortion rights protests and preach the same bs? Or gay rights marches? You're not helping anyone with this "actually, everyone deserves these rights" garbage. "Everyone" doesn't face the same problems, so just let people advocate for their rights as they see fit instead of trying to kneecap them for the sake of "equality".

I definitely see that angle, hence the not assuming, but "um actually"ing a social progress motto isn't a great look, especially with the existence of "*all lives matter" hanging around.

Also, the whole motto is "Trans Rights are human rights", so that's quite literally already laid out.
