[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Great statement. Very happy to hear this! This only happened because YOU spoke up, commented, reached out. YOU, the fans and readers, their paying customers, made it clear that you want high-quality English translation. I’m so thankful for all of you.

we have to be meaner to these people it's all we got. billionaires sitting there crying bc ppl hate them when they could just end world hunger

Alright everyone, we have to have a talk about #Mewgenics Be better. Do better.

See this? LLMs are bad (duh). Grammarly is using "dead authors" to review your work. Stop using their services.

anyway I need to add that if you've enjoyed the death generator now or in the past, I could really use a ko-fi donation or patreon support. I'm recovering from medical issues at the moment while I look for a job, and it'd help a ton. bsky.app/profile/foon...

Just a general reminder that you’re overwhelmed, exhausted or for whatever other reason you’re not “creating” as much at any time, you’re exactly as valid as if you were at your 100%. Sometimes it’s just like that, not your fault

The amount of people that have come to me accusing/asking if I copied this despite me posting mine 9 hours earlier than this is kinda crazy. More than one person can reference a meme, guys...

As a guy w AuDHD this js so fucking true. My sense of the passage of time is anything but consistent One day feels like a week, and then 2 seconds later somehow 8 months have passed without me acknowledging

WELP GUESS IM NOT PLAYING ASSAULT SPY EITHER

For real.

and this is why it is so beyond important that we do not take that fucking bait. do not, ever, ever ever go in on this. This business model cannot be rewarded. Do not ever do remote computing. I'm so serious. Do not do it! use a fucking potato computer if you have to! DON'T REMOTE COMPUTE EVER

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.

Going to add my voice to those asking not to support the way the SEGAGAGA translation was done, especially in the light of some additional food-for-thought from moots, and what we've seen with anime dubs/subbing lately and calling that out as awful and a risk to skilled translators.

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

Lil reminder that I have wares! :3

some people have the idea that all you need to translate effectively is an ability to speak both English and Japanese and while that is obviously a pre-requisite, it's more complicated than that? It's creative writing and that's not a skill you just acquire naturally as a consequence of bilinguality

Reposting this with alt text.

"I hope you die" is weak. "I hope that obscure Japanese-only game you wanna play gets a fan translation done entirely by ChatGPT" is way more hurtful. It's real. It could happen to anyone.

I'm so fucking mad, Segagaga finally getting translated should've been a landmark moment. One of the white whales of translation should've had more care given to it than to outsource the bulk of the work to fucking ChatGPT. With a game of this legacy, you either do it right or don't do it all.

Bandcamp bans music that is "generated wholly or in substantial part by AI" and prohibits "use of AI tools to impersonate other artists or styles." There's room for improvement, such as including album art and lyrics, but it's a good start. Thank you Bandcamp for standing up for human-created music!

I'd be such a lesser, worse person with so much less joy in my life without the trans people I know. The fact there are people so miserable and pathetic they cannot abide others living their lives in a way that makes them happy is pitiful. We truly cannot heap enough scorn on transphobes.

Netflix: “if you choose us, we’ll pay you entirely in cash” Paramount: “if you DON’T pick us, the US government will make trying to run your business a living hell in retaliation” And this, folks, is how you end up with a state-run media regime.

I want it to be widely known throughout the ttrpg scene that Pathfinder and Starfinder are the products of unionized labor by a bunch of queer and trans weirdos and our accomplices.

Also turns out its a tinnnnnyyy bit oversized so it was hilarious putting it into a scene with a character. Not sure who pissed her off but MAN SOMEONE IS ANGRY XD

Tonights stream was a lot of fun, made some progress learning how to do texturing and designs. Chat helped me choose materials for the blade and handle for a Katana! #blender #art
