AI translations are absolute ass and have no consistency. They are wasting money on something nobody wants to use. That's not all. They are actively lowering their revenue by pushing people to illegal fan translation.

How much you wanna bet they're going to have their editors and contracts try to strong arm Originals creators into this character ai stuff & use it to market unhealthy attachments. I see "with authors consent" and can't help but think about the ways corporations manufacture consent.

God I wish more people would understand this! Automatic translation is something that works for personal needs when you’re in a pinch and have no other option, that’s what it’s good for. It’s not localization or literary translation and can never be that.

It barely works for texts of purely informative nature (research papers, technical documentation etc.) because it makes it very unwieldy to read, but for entertainment literature? It just makes it bad.

another eradicates emotion, ruins sentence pacing and makes jokes fall flat, even if in the most literal sense the exact same amount of information is conveyed. This idea that we can just take a machine to replace a word with another is one of the most ignorant monolingual stupidities ever.

The illustration is mostly black and ivory in a sketchy fountain pen style. On a page of sheet music, an inkwell with a coy, mysterious smile draws musical bars using a singing five-pronged pen nib. Text below reads: “Listen to a music album start to finish, draw what you hear”. Music notes stylized to look like eyes, time signatures and squiggles of ink decorate the page.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Humaning.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

Okay Bsky. A request from a new friend I met at the conference today! I asked about his rad shirt and he said it belongs to his coworker's dad who always used to wear it to this conference and so he borrowed it. But he wants to see if he can find one for himself so he can match his friend's dad lol

A photo of the back of someone's shirt. It has a colorful pattern featuring various birds such as owls, crowned cranes, hoopoes, looks like there's a zebra finch in there, some parrots, a chicken maybe? And vultures? I think I see a stork and maybe even a pigeon. Lots of birds

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Hummingbirds.

A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."
