Horizon actor Ashly Burch has addressed the AI Aloy video that leaked online last week, using it to call attention to the demands of striking voice actors.Last week, The Verge reported on the emergence of an internal Sony video showing off tech that uses Aloy from the Horizon series to demonstrate AI-powered characters. Sony has yet to respond to IGNs request for comment.In the now deleted video, Sony Interactive Entertainment director of software engineering, Sharwin Raghoebardajal, has a conversation with an AI-powered Aloy via voice prompts and AI-generated speech and facial animations. Raghoebardajal asks Aloy how she's doing, to which she responds: "Hello, I'm managing alright. Just dealing with a sore throat. How have you been?"The voice heard coming from Aloy's mouth is clearly not that of Burch, rather a robotic voice similar to those heard from text-to-speech voice generators. AI Aloy's facial movements are stiff and her eyes appear lifeless as she converses with Raghoebardajal.Burch, who has voiced Aloy in all four Horizon video games released so far (Zero Dawn, Forbidden West, Call of the Mountain, and Lego Horizon Adventures) took to social media platform TikTok to confirm that she had seen the video, and that Horizon developer Guerrilla had got in touch to let her know that the tech demo did not reflect anything that was in active development, nor did it use any of Burchs performance (facial or voice data). That presumably rules out AI Aloy for the upcoming Horizon multiplayer game, assuming the character is in the game, and the inevitable Horizon 3. However, as Burch pointed out, Guerrilla (and parent company Sony Interactive Entertainment) owns Aloy as a character.With all this in mind, Burch said the AI Aloy video left her feeling worried about game performance as an art form, and used it as a jumping off point to discuss the ongoing video game voice actors strike that has claimed a number of high-profile casualties in recent weeks.Last week, the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) issued an update to its members on the status of negotiations over video game actor AI protections, saying that while progress had been made, it was still "frustratingly far apart" with the industry bargaining group on key issues.Currently what were fighting for is, you have to get our consent before you make an AI version of us in any form, you have to compensate us fairly, and you have to tell us how youre using this AI double, Burch said.I feel worried not because the technology exists. Not even because game companies want to use it. Of course they do. They always want to use technological advancements. I just imagine a video like this coming out that does have someones performance attached to it, that does have someones voice or face or movement. And the possibility that if we lose this fight, that person would have no recourse. They wouldnt have any protections, any way to fight back. And that possibility, it makes me so sad it hurts my heart. It scares me. I love this industry and this art form so much and I want there to be a new generation of actors. I want there to be so many more incredible game performances. I want to be able to continue to do this job. If we dont win, that future is really compromised.Im genuinely not trying to put any game company specifically on blast, Burch continued. Certainly not Guerrilla. The technology isnt the problem. Game companies wanting to use the technology isnt the problem. The problem is were currently on strike and the bargaining group will not agree to give us common sense protections.I support the strike. Ive always supported the strike. I believe fighting is what we have to do to protect the future and the longevity of this career that we all love so much.Burch then pointed to the temporary union contracts that currently give all the protections the striking voice actors are asking for, that any video game company can sign right now. Theres the interim, the tiered, and low budget agreement contracts available right now for any game company to sign, Burch said. I believe we deserve to be protected. @ashly.burch let us speak on AI aloy original sound - Ashly Burch Generative AI is one of the hottest topics within the video game and entertainment industries, which have both suffered massive layoffs in recent years. It has drawn criticism from players and creators due to a mix of ethical issues, rights issues, and AIs struggles to produce content audiences actually enjoy. For instance, Keywords Studios attempted to create an experimental game internally using entirely AI. The game failed, with Keywords citing to investors that AI was unable to replace talent.Still, that hasnt put off a number of video game companies from using generative AI in the development of their products. Activision recently disclosed the use of generative AI for some Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 assets as part of new requirements on Steam, amid a backlash to an "AI slop" zombie Santa loading screen.And the voice actor strike has begun to impact a number of video games. Players have reported that games such as Destiny 2 and World of Warcraft appear to have certain NPCs left unvoiced in otherwise voiced scenes, likely due to the strike. Late last year, SAG-AFTRA struck League of Legends after Riot allegedly tried to subvert the strike by canceling a game in response. And Activision confirmed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 characters were recast after players expressed concern about new voices.Just last week, two Zenless Zone Zero voice actors revealed they learned they'd been replaced when they saw the game's latest patch notes.Head of PlayStation Productions and head of product at PlayStation Studios Asad Qizilbash recently weighed in on AI to say its use in video games is important to Gen Z and Gen Alpha gamers who seek "personalization across everything.""For instance, non-player characters in games could interact with players based on their actions, making it feel more personal, Qizilbash said. This is important for the younger Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences, who are the first generations that grew up digitally and are looking for personalization across everything, as well as looking for experiences to have more meaning."Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.

Features Florence Hunt Has Bridgerton Season 4 BTS TikTok Footage Ready to GoExclusive: Hyacinth Bridgerton actress Florence Hunt is ready to be the show's behind-the-scenes TikTok correspondent once again.By Brynna Arens, Alec Bojalad | March 17, 2025 | Photo: Nick MorgulisTikTok has become a popular place for actors to post behind-the-scenes footage in recent years. It gives them a chance to connect with their fans and share a glimpse at what happens when the cameras arent rolling on their favorite series. In shows like Bridgerton with a large ensemble cast that might not always be on camera, it also gives the actors a way to cut loose in between takes and bond with each other.These TikToks may often be spearheaded by younger cast members like Florence Hunt, who has had a number of her behind the scenes videos go viral with millions of likes, but that doesnt mean that others in the cast dont participate. Hunt, who plays Hyacinth Bridgerton, one of the youngest of the siblings, has convinced a number of cast members to join in on her TikToks, From Simone Ashley (who plays Kate Sharma) and Jonathan Bailey (who plays Anthony Bridgerton) to Adjoa Andoh (who plays Lady Danbury) and Ruth Gemmell (who plays Violet Bridgerton), it seems like almost everyone is down to have a little fun with Hunt in between takes. @flothe2nd girls on film sam While chatting with Den of Geek at our SXSW studio about her show Mix Tape, we got to ask Hunt about when we might get to see some BTS TikToks from the upcoming season of Bridgerton. I have a few, I have a really good one, actually, she says. But I can only post them when the season comes out.Since Bridgerton season 4 is currently filming and isnt set to even wrap until April, it will likely be a while before Hunt gets to post these videos and we get to see the really good one shes talking about. As much as she wishes she could go ahead and post them, shes already had more than a few close calls saving her videos to drafts. The amount of times Ive nearly accidentally pressed post because the draft button is next to the post button, I think Id be fired forever, she explains. So hopefully thats not going to happen.As hard as it is to wait for these small nuggets of life behind-the-scenes of Bridgerton, if her season 3 videos are any indication, they will be worth the wait. Its especially fun to watch behind-the-scenes TikToks of period dramas. Watching actors participate in fun and sometimes silly modern social media trends while in their costumes and on these stylized sets adds another layer of amusement that makes these videos so enjoyable to watch. Their characters may oftentimes be serious and focused on their duties in Bridgertons posh society, but its nice to know that the actors who play them arent afraid to let loose.Hunts other series Mix Tape is also a look into the past, though a lot more recent past. Set in Sheffield, U.K. (though filmed in Ireland) in 1989, the series follows Allison (Hunt) and Daniel (Rory Walton-Smith) as they meet, fall in love, and then drift apart only to meet again as adults 20 years later. Hunt also took her love of making TikToks to this set. I spend a lot of my life on TikTok, which is really bad, Im working on it, she acknowledges. But we [her and co-star Walton-Smith] made a TikTok when we were filming with Connor who plays Peter, my brother in Mix Tape, and that went pretty viral.Despite her growing popularity on the platform, its refreshing to hear that Hunt is trying to find a balance between sharing her life and work on the app and living her life outside of it. Gen Z has had to live a lot of our lives online, partially out of necessity, but that doesnt mean its always good for us. Realizing that is an important first step in developing a healthier relationship with social media, and Hunt is already off to a great start.

Mar 17, 2025Ravie LakshmananVulnerability / Cloud SecurityCybersecurity researchers are calling attention to an incident in which the popular GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files was compromised to leak secrets from repositories using the continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflow.The incident involved the tj-actions/changed-files GitHub Action, which is used in over 23,000 repositories. It's used to track and retrieve all changed files and directories.The supply chain compromise has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2025-30066 (CVSS score: 8.6). The incident is said to have taken place sometime before March 14, 2025."In this attack, the attackers modified the action's code and retroactively updated multiple version tags to reference the malicious commit," StepSecurity said. "The compromised Action prints CI/CD secrets in GitHub Actions build logs."The net result of this behavior is that should the workflow logs be publicly accessible, they could lead to the unauthorized exposure of sensitive secrets when the action is run on the repositories.This includes AWS access keys, GitHub Personal Access Tokens (PATs), npm tokens, and private RSA Keys, among others. That said, there is no evidence that the leaked secrets were siphoned to any attacker-controlled infrastructure.Specifically, the maliciously inserted code is designed to run a Python script hosted on a GitHub gist that dumps the CI/CD secrets from the Runner Worker process. It's said to have originated from an unverified source code commit. The GitHub gist has since been taken down.The project maintainers have stated that the unknown threat actor(s) behind the incident managed to compromise a GitHub personal access token (PAT) used by @tj-actions-bot, a bot with privileged access to the compromised repository.Following the discovery, the account's password has been updated, authentication has been upgraded to use a passkey, and its permissions levels have been updated such that it follows the principle of least privilege. GitHub has also revoked the compromised PAT."The Personal access token affected was stored as a GitHub action secret which has since been revoked," the maintainers added. "Going forward no PAT would be used for all projects in the tj-actions organization to prevent any risk of reoccurrence."Anyone who uses the GitHub Action is advised to update to the latest version (46.0.1) as soon as possible. Users are also advised to review all workflows executed between March 14 and March 15 and check for "unexpected output under the changed-files section." The development once again underscores how open-source software remains particularly susceptible to supply chain risks, which could then have serious consequences for several downstream customers at once."As of March 15, 2025, all versions of tj-actions/changed-files were found to be affected, as the attacker managed to modify existing version tags to make them all point to their malicious code," cloud security firm Wiz said."Customers who were using a hash-pinned version of tj-actions/changed-files would not be impacted, unless they had updated to an impacted hash during the exploitation timeframe."Found this article interesting?

This story originally appeared inThe Debrief with Mat Honan, a weekly newsletter about the biggest stories in tech from our editor in chief.Sign up hereto get the next one in your inbox. Ive been mulling over something that Will Heaven, our senior editor for AI,pointed out not too long ago: that all the big players in AI seem to be moving in the same directions and converging on the same things. Agents. Deep research. Lightweight versions of models. Etc. Some of this makes sense in that theyre seeing similar things and trying to solve similar problems. But when I talked to Will about this, he said, it almost feels like a lack of imagination, right? Yeah. It does. What got me thinking about this, again, was a pair of announcements from Google over the past couple of weeks, both related to the ways search is converging with AI language models, somethingIve spent a lot of time reporting on over the past year. Google took direct aim at this intersection by adding new AI features from Gemini to search, and also by adding search features to Gemini. In using both, what struck me more thanhow wellthey work is that they are really just about catching up with OpenAIs ChatGPT. And their belated appearance in March of the year 2025 doesnt seem like a great sign for Google. Take AI Mode, which itannounced March 5. Its cool. It works well. But its pretty much a follow-along of what OpenAI was already doing. (Also, dont be confused by the name. Google already had something called AI Overviews in search, but AI Mode is different and deeper.) As the company explained in a blog post, This new Search mode expands what AI Overviews can do with more advanced reasoning, thinking and multimodal capabilities so you can get help with even your toughest questions. Rather than a brief overview with links out, the AI will dig in and offer more robust answers. You can ask followup questions too, something AI Overviews doesnt support. It feels like quite a natural evolutionso much so that its curious why this is not already widely available. For now, its limited to people with paid accounts, and even then only via the experimental sandbox of Search Labs. But more to the point, why wasnt it available, say, last summer? The second change is thatit added search history to its Gemini chatbot, and promises even more personalization is on the way. On this one, Google says personalization allows Gemini to connect with your Google apps and services, starting with Search, to provide responses that are uniquely insightful and directly address your needs. Much of what these new features are doing, especially AI Modes ability to ask followup questions and go deep, feels like hitting feature parity with what ChatGPT has been doing for months. Its also been compared to Perplexity, another generative AI search engine startup. What neither feature feels like is something fresh and new. Neither feels innovative. ChatGPT has long been building user histories and using the information it has to deliver results. While Gemini could also remember things about you, its a little bit shocking to me that Google has taken this long to bring in signals from its other products. Obviously there are privacy concerns to field, but this is an opt-in product were talking about. The other thing is that, at least as Ive found so far, ChatGPT is just better at this stuff. Heres a small example. I tried asking both: What do you know about me? ChatGPT replied with a really insightful, even thoughtful, profile based on my interactions with it. These arent just the things Ive explicitly told it to remember about me, either. Much of it comes from the context of various prompts Ive fed it. Its figured out what kind of music I like. It knows little details about my taste in films. (You don't particularly enjoy slasher films in general.) Some of it is just sort of oddly delightful. For example: You built asmall shed for trash canswith a hinged wooden roof and needed a solution to hold it open. Google, despite having literal decades of my email, search, and browsing history, a copy of every digital photo Ive ever taken, and more darkly terrifying insight into the depths of who I really am than I probably I do myself, mostly spat back the kind of profile anadvertiserwould want, versus a person hoping for useful tailored results. ("You enjoy comedy, music, podcasts, and are interested in both current and classic media") I enjoy music, you say? Remarkable! Im also reminded of something an OpenAI executive said to me late last year, as the company was preparing to roll out search. It has more freedom to innovate precisely because it doesnt have the massive legacy business that Google does. Yes, itsburning moneywhile Google mints it. But OpenAI has the luxury of being able to experiment (at least until the capital runs out) without worrying about killing a cash cow like Google has with traditional search. Of course, its clear that Google and its parent company Alphabetcan innovate in many areassee Google DeepMinds Gemini Roboticsannouncementthis week, for example. Or ride in a Waymo! But can it do so around its core products and business? Its not the only big legacy tech company with this problem. Microsofts AI strategy to date has largely been reliant on its partnership with OpenAI. And Apple, meanwhile, seems completely lost in the wilderness, asthis scathing takedown from longtime Apple pundit John Gruber lays bare. Google has billions of users and piles of cash. It can leverage its existing base in ways OpenAI or Anthropic (which Google also owns a good chunk of) or Perplexity just arent capable of. But Im also pretty convinced that unless it can be the market leader here, rather than a follower, it points to some painful days ahead. But hey,Astra is coming. Lets see what happens.

The practices design for Test Valley Borough Council (TVBC) includes a main auditorium and a secondary events space in a three-storey building structure, clad with stone.BFF was appointed by the local authority to the 4,253m scheme last year, following a competition launched in March 2024 for the 3.5 million job.Subject to approval, the new Andover theatre would be located on the site of the Chantry Centre shopping mall, which received a 900,000 overhaul by Child Graddon Lewis in 2016.AdvertisementBFFs proposed main auditorium is designed to hold 410-people while a second events space could accommodate between 120 to 350 people, thanks to retractable seating designed to accommodate live music, comedy and sit-down events.Overall, the new Andover theatre has capacity for up to 1,000 people at one time, significantly eclipsing the existing out of town arts and performance venue, The Lights, which it will replace when complete.Helen Grassly, director of BFF, said: It has been a real pleasure developing the design for the new theatre with the teams at The Lights and TVBC. We have been tasked with delivering something technically excellent with high-quality facilities for both professional and community users, while keeping the warm welcome and intimacy of the existing Lights.Grassly continued: Our new building makes the most of the town-centre site, with visible activity on the three public faades and a landscape design linking the High Street and the river Anton.The project follows an award of 18.3 million from the Levelling Up Fund and will include a series of wider public realm improvements and a redeveloped entrance to the Chantry Centre.AdvertisementPhilip North, leader of Test Valley Borough Council, said: With increased capacity we have a real opportunity to bring so many more people into the town and support the local economy. I encourage everyone to have a look at the designs online or pop into town to meet with the project team and find out more. These are very exciting times ahead and I cant wait to see the designs come to life.Completion is scheduled for 2027.In 2019, Hemingway Design and New Masterplanning won a contest to draw up a strategic development framework focusing on several sites in Andover including a former magistrates court and the outdated Chantry Shopping Centre .Hampshire-based consultancy Newsteer won acontract to complete a series of capacity and feasibility studiesexploring options for building out the new town centre regeneration masterplan in 2022.Project dataLocationAndoverLocal authorityTest Valley Borough CouncilType of projectNew build theatreClientTest Valley Borough CouncilArchitect Burrell Foley FischerLandscape architectStudio Knight StokoeTheatre and acoustic consultant CharcoalbluePlanning consultantThe Planning LabStructural engineerIntegral Engineering DesignM&E consultantE3 Consulting EngineersQuantity surveyor and project manager Ward WilliamsPrincipal designerBurrell Foley FischerMain contractor TBCFundingCentral Government and Local AuthorityTender dateTBCStart on site TBCGross internal floor area 4,253mForm of contract and/or procurement TBCTotal cost TBC

The AJ100 practices next generation retrofit of 151 Shaftsbury Avenue, an early 2000s office building in Londons West End, was granted consent by Camden Councils planning committee last month.Drawn up for Royal London Asset Management Property, BGYs vision for the nine-storey mixed use building retains some 90 per cent of the structure, whose floor are will increase by 763m2 floor area, from 6,563m2 to 7,214m2.BGYs vision involves a rooftop and corner extension to the block to create a 10-storey office-led development, while remodelling of the fourth and seventh storey will enable external terraces to be carved out.AdvertisementOn the ground floor, inactive frontages will be replaced by commercial use and existing residential units on site will be untouched.The current building, which is next to the Grade II-listed Odeon cinema, will see its faade replaced by a design incorporating stepped brick piers and spandrel panels to create movement and interest with play on light and shadow.Planning officers said in a report recommending the application for removal that the current 151 Shaftsbury Avenue was considered to contribute little to the street scene or townscape. They added that BGYs designs would ensure the building has a better relationship to surrounding listed structures.Joseph Kane, senior development manager at Royal London Asset Management Property, said: The proposals will transform the building while retaining over 90 per cent of the existing structure, with the revitalised building bringing the site to life and supporting the local economy. We look forward to working with Camden Council and the local community as we move towards the delivery stage.Work is due to begin in 2026.AdvertisementCurrent site view
