  • When it says “SAG-AFTRA Approves” - doesn’t that imply that all union members were given a vote?

    In fact, yes, yes it does…

    "The agreement between the leading AI voice company and the world’s largest performers’ union will enable Replica to engage SAG-AFTRA members under a fair, ethical agreement to safely create and license a digital replica of their voice. Licensed voices can be used in video game development and other interactive media projects from pre-production to final release.

    Approved by affected members of the union’s voiceover performer community, this contract marks an important step towards the ethical use of AI voices…"




  • That’s interesting… because I always thought that REM sleep was the most important part of sleep, and more was better.

    In fact, I read an article once that suggested that REM sleep was when our spinal fluid flushed all the waste material out of our brains at night (which leads to the types of dream that occur during REM sleep), which is also a process that prevents brains from being clogged with waste material.

    I always thought that our brains being filled with waste material was part of depression, and that flushing out that waste material would help our brains function more correctly.

    Sounds like the opposite - like, our depressed brains are depressed because they think too much?
