Do y'all ever see a post that just like. Haunts you forever? And which consistently comes back up when you're trying to get to sleep

Anyways, if you do comms the whole "2+ characters in a single piece costs less than if they were bought as separate commissions" thing Isn't supposed to be a buy one get one x% off type situation.

Your commission prices should be accounting for the time you spend communicating with the client, the time you spend on file storage and prep, and the time it takes to properly document your communications and the transaction. Those things all take time and it Really adds up when you do enough comms. And the time they take? doesn't usually change much based on the number of characters.

That's why the second, third, etc, character can cost less. Not because you're giving a discount. Right. Right? Y'all aren't cutting yourself a bad deal, right? You're Not paying yourself less than an exploitative boss would pay you for that time and skilled labor, right?

The Future of Justice: Navigating the Intersection of AI, Judges, and Human Oversight

One of the main benefits of AI in the justice system is its ability to analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns that human judges may not notice. For example, the use of AI in the U.S. justice system has led to a significant reduction in the number of misjudgments, as AI-powered tools were able to identify potential biases in the data and make more accurate recommendations.

However, the use of AI in the justice system also raises significant concerns about the role of human judges and the need for oversight. As AI takes on an increasingly important role in decision-making, judges must find the balance between trusting AI and exercising their own judgement. This requires a deep understanding of the technology and its limitations, as well as the ability to critically evaluate the recommendations provided by AI.

The European Union's approach to AI in justice provides a valuable framework for other countries to follow. The EU's framework emphasizes the need for human oversight and accountability and recognizes that AI is a tool that should support judges, not replace them. This approach is reflected in the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires AI systems to be transparent, explainable and accountable.

The use of AI in the justice system also comes with its pitfalls. One of the biggest concerns is the possibility of bias in AI-generated recommendations. When AI is trained with skewed data, it can perpetuate and even reinforce existing biases, leading to unfair outcomes. For example, a study by the American Civil Liberties Union found that AI-powered facial recognition systems are more likely to misidentify people of color than white people.

To address these concerns, it is essential to develop and implement robust oversight mechanisms to ensure that AI systems are transparent, explainable and accountable. This includes conducting regular audits and testing of AI systems and providing clear guidelines and regulations for the use of AI in the justice system.

In addition to oversight mechanisms, it is also important to develop and implement education and training programs for judges and other justice professionals. This will enable them to understand the capabilities and limitations of AI, as well as the potential risks and challenges associated with its use. By providing judges with the necessary skills and knowledge, we can ensure that AI is used in a way that supports judges and enhances the fairness and accountability of the justice system.

Roles

Black Jack/Kuroo Hazama

Description: Lead Role. Clean, crisp audio (unless, see desc.). Lines taken from pages 122-129 of Black Jack, Volume 7.

Dr. Black Jack is the world’s greatest surgeon with a mysterious past, this scene is when his backstory is finally revealed. It reveals his motives as to why he hoards money and why a lot of his schemes all come with some kind of catch.

I’m looking for someone with a deeper voice, but one that is smooth as well. Not gravelly, not too deep like batman, and not like the stereotypical kinda of john smith video game type grunt either. Black Jack’s voice is deeper, but not too deep, if that makes any sense. I’m also very fond of his Japanese VA, Akio Otsuka, but of the english dubs I’ve seen of Black Jack— no one seems to get his voice right or make it sound like Otsuka. So for this role, I recommend looking on youtube for clips/episodes of the 90’s OVA to hear his voice. A suggestion to make your audition stand out: this manga did take place in 1973, so if you want to throw in a very slight transatlantic or otherwise “old timey” accent, be my guest. But above all else I feel like he should like a professional, almost have a narratorial type of voice.

Sample audition lines (taken from source material):

“For that faithful day, he started to hoard money. What a thing money is— it can even absolve murder.”

“Now answer me! You let yourself be bribed by the official who wanted to sell that land and removed the “do not enter” signs! Wasn’t it you?! Huh?! Say it! You did it with those hands!”

“She had no arms, or legs, and lay there voiceless like a doll, with a tube in her throat supplying her oxygen and nutrients. A large scar remained on the boy’s face and his hair turned white with fear. But his mother! She didn’t even look human.”

Unnamed Bribed Government Official

Description: This character is responsible for the negligence that lead to what happened with Black Jack and his mother when he was a child. He was bribed in order to hasten up the clean up of land mines and is now facing judgment for it. He should sound cowardly and worried for what might happen to him. He has very few lines, what’s in the audition lines is legit all he says. This manga did take place in 1973, so if you want to throw in a transatlantic accent too or an old timey noise effect over your audio, be my guest.

Sample audition lines (taken from source material):

“Y… Yes. I received 100,000 yen from Mr. Gouger, the housing director, and took away all the warning signs.”

“H…Help…”

What is the Use of Modular Rainwater Harvesting System

Rainwater, often overlooked, is a precious resource waiting to be harnessed. Modular rainwater harvesting systems are an innovative way to capitalize on this vital natural resource, altering how we preserve water in an increasingly water-scarce world.
