Arc Raiders replaced some of its AI-generated voice lines, using professional actors instead
Embark Studios' CEO Patrick Söderlund admitted that there is a quality difference when it comes to using voice actors versus AI. In an unexpected twist, humans have taken some jobs back from AI. Embark Studios' CEO Patrick Söderlund recently told that the studio re-recorded some of the AI-generated voice lines in with human voices, only after its successful launch in October. There is a quality difference, Söderlund told A real professional actor is better than AI; that's just how it is. With Arc Raiders' player count peaking at nearly half a million users on Steam, the game's breakout success was still marred by its use of text-to-speech AI. While there was no generative AI used for the visuals of the extraction shooter, Embark Studios paid its actors for approval to license their voices for text-to-speech AI, according to Söderlund.

Immature men are to blame for Britain's'missing babies', report warns - because they delay responsibilities until later in life Britain's'missing babies' can be blamed on immature men who are delaying responsibilities until later in life, according to a report. Research from the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) think tank predicts around 600,000 young women may miss out on motherhood partly because men don't feel ready for children until they get older. In the report, called Baby Bust, the organisation says there are a range of reasons for falling birth rates including the cost of childcare, wanting to move into a larger house, prioritising a career or not finding the right partner.

These aren't AI firms, they're defense contractors. We can't let them hide behind their models
We can't let them hide behind their models From Gaza to Iran, the pattern is the same: precision weapons, chosen blindness, and dead children. There is an Israeli military strategy called the "fog procedure". First used during the second intifada, it's an unofficial rule that requires soldiers guarding military posts in conditions of low visibility to shoot bursts of gunfire into the darkness, on the theory that an invisible threat might be lurking. It's violence licensed by blindness. Shoot into the darkness and call it deterrence. With the dawn of AI warfare, that same logic of chosen blindness has been refined, systematized, and handed off to a machine.
