I think this goes without saying but obviously NEVER TAKE A JOB LIKE THIS. It is not worth it. Also, word to anyone asking for this, you might get mouthsounds out of it, but as a director of 25 years experience I can guarantee you won't get emotionally impactful performance. http…

Just gonna say this: The first time I hear my voice used WITHOUT MY CONSENT by an AI, I'm suing whoever is responsible I honestly do not care if I lose. If you steal from me, I'm gonna make you pay for it https://twitter.com/...

Just a reminder not to sign things that give free reign to use any aspect of your likeness. https://www.vice.com/...

Definitely not a huge red flag that capital is attacking the concept of human creativity from every possible front simultaneously https://twitter.com/...

“'Any language in a performer's contract which attempts to acquire digital simulation or digital creation rights is void and unenforceable until the terms have been negotiated with the union,' SAG-AFTRA said in a statement.” https://twitter.com/...

Voice actors are now being pressured to sign away “Voice rights” for Ai. Do you see how far they are going to squash and completely remove the soul from creativity? Artists/actors/musicians, lawyer up and include no Ai clauses in contracts NOW #noai https://www.vice.com/...

Listen, NEVER sign anything that approves your work for A.I. The minute you do, you've made it legal and ethical under your own consent for them to replace you with a robot you. Make sure any signing away of rights to projects excludes AI use. https://twitter.com/...
