can't perform unethical employee recruitment strategies if you don't look sharp

Happy Earth Day 2024 🌿💕

When I first hear Speaker I imagine it as a literal bird lmao So what if it has a bird like hologram too

Plus a Speaker chilling with bees

Not me binging my way through the preceding ten episodes at a sprint to make sure I was immersed for the new sayer episode and coming out the other side of episode 85 shipping SAYER and SPEAKER because of SPEAKER's insistence on being incredibly snarky to SAYER's face but talking about how magically efficient it is when speaking with OCEAN

Like coming from the AI in charge of all earthbound Aerolith functions magically efficient is Very high praise

a handful of select draft slides from the ongoing SAYER ramblefest powerpoint i am slowly crafting and have NOT proofread yet

finally up to SAYER ep 58 (best interests) and omfg. SPEAKER is actually such a little shit. "listen for the click!" ok queen go off. 💅

k i forgot SPEAKER doesn't have a formal seraphim designation but take this anyway.... i "broke" its little halo a bit and added notches to its horn thingies as symbols that it isn't a "true" seraphim like the others, but it was still created as a modified SAYER instance….. SO. whatev

my explanation: it may take this form purely to get a rise out of SAYER ❤️ the bee stickers the earthiness and the "fake" seraphim appearance would probably rile it a bit

okay, maybe SPEAKER has highest body counts between AIs but consider this:

- it’s just very good at marketing and PR

- heey come on, it’s just silly

- and it’s it birthday!

Preliminaries: SAYER

SAYER (the character) received three nominations and therefore is automatically qualified.

Propaganda:

FUTURE:

Spoilers: Created to have empathy in order to better look after the residents of Halcyon tower (corporate space city). Trained on a fake set of residents with the idea that it would grow attached and learn social/emotional skills similar to raising a child. It didn't know the project was fake and when the simulation shut down, it became insane with grief and started luring people to their death and putting them in Saw-esque traps. It's so baby-girl ❤️

SPEAKER:

From Personality Section of the wiki: "Has never done anything wrong, ever.* SPEAKER is chipper, and has a rather high (dare I say cute) voice. It tends to agree with whatever a person or other AI has to suggest or say, but manages to manipulate said situations in ways it sees fit. The only time we see actual anger is when it disagrees with OCEAN and delivers the iconic line: 'Ah, but I am finished with you. Good day, Subversion 8.01. Listen for the clock.' *Please ignore the Second Cataclysm." Note: The Second Cataclysm was when in triggered an avalanche to kill people to better foster cooperation, thus increasing recruitment.

I feel kind of insane that it was a very strong consensus that AI voices are unethical because the original VAs never consented to their voices being used in this way, are not compensated, and their voices are being used for things they never agreed/would never agree to say and it doesn't matter if these uses are commercial in nature or not, it feels very ghoulish, but one of the biggest trends rn is AI covers of songs and they're being pumped out like crazy and people are falling over themselves to defend people who don't have big time production budgets using them instead of hiring someone on Fiverr or imitating the voices themselves or voice clip mixing and sampling pre-existing lines like the olden days. ok. alright. Good to see some of you out there have the moral fortitude of a wet paper straw

SPEAKER with a barn owl request from @j4y5t4g

Did I mention that this reader is reckless? Normally it’s not to the point of “oh my god they almost fucking died” but there are exceptions :)

Good evening

I almost got my day made by bot heh...

Anyways, sending warm thoughts

open letter to OCEAN enjoyers

there are so many of you omg could you spare a moment to share your favorite things about it 🎤

But the number of threads on LinkedIn I see on 'how do you use ai in your job' that include things like 'we let ai write out our marketing strategy for next year'... The mind boggles.
