I’ve been noting that one of the main use cases that everyday users had already been putting LLMs and agents to use is the compilation of dossiers for peer-on-peer surveillance and automated gang-stalking (swarm-stalking) of other citizens, so of course Meta is copying that as a feature.

The titles of Japanese manga have literally doubled in length since 2011, according to study
Japanese e-book distributor and publisher BookLive recently conducted a manga analysis based on title and purchase data (source: GameBiz). The study examined how the titles of manga have changed in content and length over the years, as well as purchasing behavior, the diversification of reading habits, and the relationship between these three variables. It was discovered that manga titles now are roughly two times longer than they were 15 years ago. Not only did the average number of Japanese characters in the title of a manga’s first volume jump from 9.14 in 2011 to 18.45 in 2026, but the median also increased from 8 to 16 characters in the same […]

Inverting Feminism

SlutCon's vision
paints women into a corner in having an ethos that is an inversion of
feminism. In Aella's own words:

Most women don't know what they want
and if they do they are pretty bad at and so their sexual advice tends to be ineffective at best and actively
communicating it, damaging at worst.

Heavy focus on safety and deference are there for good reasons
and they need to be
respected, but often are
deeply unsexy, no matter how much people insist otherwise.
