Whenever I write about old software, it still strikes me how absurd it is that it’s easier to run software from the 90s and 2000s on a modern computer than it is to run an iOS app from 15 years ago.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Wasei-eigo

A single panel comic where three stickmen are reading manga on a monitor, with the currently visible panel depicting a nude shot of a female character alongside a narration reading "Even her style is good..." This makes no sense as you obviously don't have a "style" when you're naked, and the reason for this is a mistranslation borne from assuming that the Japanese word スタイル (sutairu) is just the English word "style", when in fact its meaning in Japanese is actually "figure", as in "Even her figure is great" - the actually correct translation for the line in question, as it actually makes sense for a comment about a naked body. The first stickman understands all this and is going "Argh!" in response. The second stickman is unaware and is just saying "What?" The third stickman, slightly offscreen, is going off on a rant about how スタイル is CLEARLY the English word "style" because they've learned just the exact dangerous amount of Japanese where they think they know way more than they do, resulting in confident proclamations about things that are very wrong. There is text under the panel, which says "If you really hate someone, teach them to recognize wasei-eigo mistranslations." The comic is titled "Wasei-eigo", and it was created by Daiz (of daiz.moe) and modeled after the xkcd comic strip number 1015. The manga panel featured in the comic is from a series called Goodbye Isekai Tensei.

The Rs are doing a full-spectrum assault on the existence of anyone not cis and straight, and saying it is about "boys playing girls sports". And every D who looks at that and goes "yeah, I oppose boys in girls sports" is endorsing the effort. Because they're affirming "sports" is all the Rs did.

What is happening is not that AI-generated cultural goods are replacing human-made cultural goods; what is happening is that capital is flowing out of the production of cultural goods *entirely,* making us all poorer for it.

In both film and video games, you see a ton of *project cancellations* and a general difficulty in funding new projects, which wouldn't be the case if AI was displacing workers in producing those products—you'd expect the opposite, in fact, if it was becoming cheaper to make a movie/game.

basic observations about this story... 1. anthropic and OAI have zero credibility to protest that they didn't engage in plagiarism; these are manifestly dishonest organizations. the effect of them engaging in first-party research is just acting as wreckers.
