o problema de bater palma pra maluco dançar é que vc vai batendo palma no ritmo da música, vai balançando o ombrinho e de repente vc vira o maluco dançando sem perceber.

Congrats to all the people who have postured as intelligent and morally righteous for years but decided that they couldn’t take a stand against genocide or decided to justify and cheer on the massacre of a people for whatever reason. Now they can go back to playing the intellectual in peace.

Juan Guaidó, this morning

Ok this slaps

bro you look like you drop common items

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

What we're living through is the result of 100 years of treating conservatism like it was anything better than fascism biding its time.

fuckin' right

i think often about this discussion between Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hideaki Anno. it's one of the funniest ways anyone has ever talked about restraint vs self indulgence in art.

Representation matters (it’s me, I’m represented here)

Jeremy Tiang really hits the nail on the head here (as would be expected). Translation is caught between two forms of capitalist exploitation: using a per-word freelance structure to provide a bare minimum fee, and playing on its artistic nature to compel free ancillary labor alongside

There has so far been no AI generated bestselling book. No AI generated hit record. No AI generated blockbuster film or TV show. No evidence yet in fact that there is any commercial demand at all for individual AI generated artworks. But there HAVE been 1,000 pieces about how inevitable they are

"You couldn't make that today!" discourse is like the bullet holes in the plane. By lamenting that selected works of unrepresentatively high quality wouldn't be produced now due to modern social mores, they're ignoring what else did get made, was offensive, and is now rightly forgotten.

YOU - Hold on, is architecture also art? CONCEPTUALIZATION - Of course not, it's autism. Box-drawing. Masturbation with a ruler and a sextant or whatever they use. You should demean and criticize the genteel institution of architecture. While extolling the virtues of the *pure* arts.

acho fofo quando a economist e essa laia se encontram (corretamente) em situação de pagar pau pro Brasil, mesmo enquanto alguns aqui esperneiam na direção oposta

*breathe in* I am not a dumpster fire. *breathe out* I am a dumpster phoenix.

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality. This is how AI is killing translation work:

Newsletter: This is the Hater's Guide To The AI Bubble: genAI is nothing like Uber or Amazon Web Services, there are no profitable genAI companies, agents do not and cannot exist, there is no AI SaaS story, and everything rides - and dies - on selling GPUs. www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-g...

This is so upsetting because the people at the top making these shitty decisions are making people say, "fansubs were always better" or throw shade at localizers, & it's localizers who WANT THE COMPANIES TO DO A BETTER JOB, what the fuck. The localizers aren't the enemies, the SUITS are the enemies.

"It's not that deep." "The curtains were fucking blue." Listen you incurious little bitch, all words that get put on a page are the result of a choice. Maybe it's not a particularly well-considered choice, maybe it's not even a conscious one, but words don't appear by magic. Someone put them there.

Anytime you read an article about "superintelligence" or "AGI" replace it with "the tooth fairy." We have about as much proof the tooth fairy exists.

As always, I’m here to answer the important questions! #fantasy #archery #nerd

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
