Sometimes, casting isn’t just about accents or regional authenticity—it’s about acting skill, availability, and fitting a broader character vision. If a top-tier actor can’t naturally deliver an accent, producers may weigh that against other factors. In this case, AI can serve as a compromise rather than a replacement.
Russia or Musk?
I had no idea this had even been released, tbh.
The controversy surrounding the film kicked off last week after an interview with editor Dávid Jancsó was released by Red Shark News. Jancsó said that the production turned to software called Respeecher to clean up Brody and Jones’ dialog after the ADR stage — a process in which certain lines of dialogue are re-recorded in post — didn’t pan out, a decision that both leads were fully on board with, Jancsó said.
Who cares? Seems like everyone involved was on board. Seems like a good use of the technology to me. I don’t see why anyone should be ‘admitting’ anything.
ONE CANNOT CRITICISE A HERO OF THE PLOLATARIAT, COMRADE
I’ve gotta say the logistics of this project alone is incredibly impressive. Keep at it!
Honestly the photo makes it look like he’s over-the-moon!
A new artificial intelligence tool can warn ministers whether policies are likely to be very unpopular with their party’s MPs, using a search described as a “parliamentary vibe check”.
They might want one that can do the same for their constituency…
Yer fond of me dogfood aint’ ye? I seen it - yer fond of me dogfood! Say it! Say it. Say it!
Cheaper, maybe, but gravel is a bit shit for biodiversity and flood mitigation.
Exactly. Well said.
But will it include the multiplayer?
Absolutely fucking not. Me and my wife can’t think of many things we’d want less, tbh.
Sexton says criminals are using older versions of AI models and fine-tuning them to create illegal material of children. This involves feeding a model existing abuse images or photos of people’s faces, allowing the AI to create images of specific individuals. “We’re seeing fine-tuned models which create new imagery of existing victims,” Sexton says. Perpetrators are “exchanging hundreds of new images of existing victims” and making requests about individuals, he says. Some threads on dark web forums share sets of faces of victims, the research says, and one thread was called: “Photo Resources for AI and Deepfaking Specific Girls.”
The model hasn’t necessarily been trained with CSAM, rather you can create things called LORAs which help influence the image output of a model so that it’s better at producing very specific content that it may have struggled with before. For example I downloaded some recently that help Stable Diffusion create better images of Battleships from Warhammer 40k. My guess is that criminals are creating their own versions for kiddy porn etc.
You’re more than welcome, glad it helped. Stay positive, friend! 👍
I kinda get the impression they bite, a lot.
Thank you 😊
If studios lean on AI to “fix” things like accents, it’s because they’re prioritizing those big names over authenticity, not because AI inherently diminishes the value of authentic talent. This is a systemic issue tied to the industry’s reliance on star power for financial success, not just AI or accents.
Viewership is ultimately dictated by audience preferences. If consumers consistently favor star-studded casts over authentic representation, studios will cater to that demand.
