I put $65 on a tap card and I was expecting it to last a long time. One game of air hockey is a dollar, though. A two-player shooting game costs $6 per play. Ouch!
The website for the new #ACX theater at #Bayshore is showing a 7pm showing of Mission: Impossible. That's a good sign.
I applaud the intentional provision for public transportation…. But I don’t think it they fully know what it implies… #acx #anime #isekai
Just heard back from SAG-AFTRA re #audiobooks through #FindAWayVoices being automatically enrolled in #Apple’s #AI #narration #training set. They have agreed to stop immediately and negotiate in future with #SAG-AFTRA. #ACX / #Audible do NOT supply AI training data they confirm. #Equity are closely following. This is great news and everyone can stop worrying their narration through FindAWay will be misused!
SAG-AFTRA think there’s a lot of noise about this atm, so pls boost to help clear it up.
"Starting today, Audible is reducing prices on titles, including ACX titles, across the site. While we cannot make projections on a title-by-title basis, we anticipate that these price reductions will lead to increased sales for titles overall. In tandem, as the vast majority of Audible content is purchased with a credit, you should expect your average royalty per unit for credit sales to remain steady."
Just so you know? Authors/Narrators have no say on price.

Brandon Sanderson raises Audible/ACX's predatory royalties and poor treatment of Indie Authors and they come back with this.
I am 100% onside with lower prices!
Lower the price to $15 (same as a credit), raise the Royalty rate, and stop taking fees from those royalties.
The paradox of my warning about the #PublicDomainIceAge is that it only matters to a very specific kind of person that wants to folllow the rules.
Everyone else just steals. Big, small, it doesn't matter. For every person using #BitTorrent in lieu of #Netflix there's an #Amazon letting people grift #Audible #ACX with other people's books; or an #OpenAI selling access to #aiart generators trained on other people's work. Hell, there was even a company selling #Minecraft videos in paperback.
@puffer https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/universe-hopping-through-substack made me aware of a defunct service that linked to a randomly selected tweet, advertised as “a live demo that most people on twitter are not like you.”
People could use a reminder of that, about the internet and world in general, a lot more often.
PPS: Aaaaand I just realized, hours later, that I included absolutely no hashtags in this thread about #audiobooks and #audiobookproduction. Sooo … lemme do that here!

It feels great to stumble upon an #ACX post validating your own idea:
“I’m disappointed that no one has ever tried expanding the #QALY concept to things outside health care before. It’s not that I think it will work. It’s that I think it will fail to work in a different way than our naive opinions fail to work, and we might learn something from it.”
