An old thread is making the rounds again, so here's an updated version. Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most enduring and adapted works of literature in history. But did you know that he wrote 22 sequels? Some are great! Some are trash! Some are bizarrely fascinating.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

#SaveSpeech The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend

Our dystopian future is looking light, bright, and just a touch whimsical.

Crunchyroll's episode 6 dub release of The Banished Court Magician was late, probably due to some internal issues. When it finally went up, the primary JP-EN subtitle track had been accidentally replaced with a dub closed caption track revealing Ollang in the file headers. This is a first-party prod

Ollang's site is some of the worst AI buzzword soup I've seen in a while. "Agentic AI workflows!" "AI-first platform!" "AI-powered accessibility!" Humans in the loop? "Optional!" That's "Localization reimagined for the modern enterprise!" Sure is great to see Crunchyroll using something like this!

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Schoolkids traumatized by lockdown drills and those who survived actual school shootings were then urged to "tough it out, school shootings are just a thing that happens."

Im not American at all, but it is striking to me having lived there for years, how American politicians and journalists baby their billionaires while treating school shooting survivors, victims and their families like annoying pests
