Using an LLM for any reason means you are a bad person

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

@thegreatsg.bsky.social how do I contact you to ask you some questions for an article I'm writing? Feel free to follow me back and DM.

This was my white whale for a long time, but the sourced audio sample during Xenogears' "Blazing Knights" boss fight track was taken from Christian Brando's manslaughter trial in 1990!

I've always been a hater. But this is the first time something I hate (LLMs) has gotten so big. My family members sure weren't buying Bitcoin or trading NFTs, but they're all telling me to use ChatGPT.

A completely inscrutable anime OVA from 1985 was in the US box office top 5 for a couple of days, congrats angels egg www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0208...

It's extremely depressing that anime went from a more obscure medium to front and center mainstream during my lifetime, but this translated to the medium transitioning from "for fans by fans" to pure exploitative capitalism with us as the captive audience

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed. I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

People really don’t know how much journalists make, huh

The opposite of the Moms for Liberty wave should get more attention

Having one of those days

Trying to contact anime vendors and I feel so old. I used to have contacts at these places. They used to get back to me. And there used to be a lot more of them!

Some Facebook Marketplace listings inspired me to write this:

Stories about the death of Eden Knight have dropped to the second page of search results for "Michael Pocalyko," behind all sorts of generic fluff about his business and some novel he wrote. I do no know whether some concerted SEO effort was involved, but here's a link.

just got two 3 star trainees in a single pull????

Looks like I really CAN make money writing books!

This is wrong. We should not trap the souls of dead people in computers. Souls should be trapped in amulets

The thing about cruelty and inhumanity is that the limits of who is affected keep expanding and expanding until we shove it back the other way

To be clear, he said nothing wrong.

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

Yeah, I’m mad The folks at Azuki have done great work over the years, and they were at it a good while before AI grifters with too much money decided to take their name This is a sadly perfect analogy of the rancid spirit that powers the creative theft behind generative AI All the best to Omoi

You know I'm not in a good place mentally when I start busting out the fancy dinners on a week night.

I feel bad for Azuki's name change to Omoi. The founder worked HARD to build up that brand and establish a positive relationship with the manga community. Then the NFT Azuki comes in, pays X amount of money to be at the front page and visible, confusing people, and ruining the pub's rep #manga

ICYMI I tested the portable Gunpla case trend and wrote a tutorial so you can make one just like it:

Help my kindergartner keeps writing essays about the Woke Left.

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

My ita bag just got better.

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS IN 1998-99ish TO TRY AND DRAW ID there was like, none of these portraits available for him online, and of course I couldn't get an artbook for it, so I had to wing that shit

Been trying to call Tim Kaine all day and getting a busy signal every time, I think that's good?

Big day for me

Sharing again because I'm proud of this one. Thanks immensely to @katrinal10n.bsky.social for her thoughts.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

A few months back, @lucasderuyter.bsky.social and I covered this topic in an edition of This Week in Anime as well www.animenewsnetwork.com/this-week-in...

This is a solid read for those who are looking for a better handle on AI situation in localization space right now. Specifically in regards to light novels.

I hope the fans hold the line. Getting things faster may be nice, but a quality translation is worth the wait. Right now, a lot of companies are exploring AI options and ultimately it’s consumer habits that will shape the future of its use, imo.

This 18+ comic has a surprisingly current critique on parental controls and AI. Makina is a sexbot, but since she's under 18 she is unable to bypass her search controls and has trained her AI incorrectly on her classmates' BL chatter: www.animenewsnetwork.com/seasonal/202...

I am so excited to share this feature I worked really hard on. Thanks to @arkada.bsky.social for his input:

Was gonna get some canned staples to donate to the food assistance center but was feeling lazy and realized that you can donate money on their website, without leaving the couch! Here's my local FAC but maybe yours has this option too afac.org/donate-funds/

So….. I’ve switched in the Gunpla Catalogue on the site, as the successor to the previous Gunpla Releases list 😅 🚧 ‘Beta’ status until I add all 2024 kits, directly link to Instruction Manual PDFs, and QA all the info. 🔎 Do try the search and/or filters! Link: www.gundampixel.com/gunpla
