I've been using Qobuz for a year and while it hasn't been perfect, they're taking a lot of Ws. Obviously I'd rather they just ban AI shit entirely but as far as I know they're the only music streamer doing the bare minimum of flagging it.

Seeing Damon, Jamie, Del, and Dan the Automator all onstage at the Gorillaz show last night was a big “wow, I can die happy” moment for me. Absolutely FANTASTIC show.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I hate talking about AI every day but I recognize the active danger it represents to nature and the human inspiration that has made my life worthwhile. I cannot overlook the end goal the obscenely wealthy have always had for this tech: to squeeze the rest of us even further out of a modest living.

Out of curiosity, have any of the more CRT-inclined on my feed ever sanded/buffed the scratches out of an old TV? I found a junked set that I love the look of, but it’s in need of repair and the screen is fairly torn up. I’m hoping to make it a project, but unsure of my screen-restoring odds.

The game itself isn’t totally my jam (think a slower, less anarchic Dokapon), but the PCE CD Dragon Half game really does nail Ryusuke Mita’s art style, and I gotta respect it for that.

There are still ways you can contribute to fan translations even if you don't read Japanese or hacking skills. In particular, you can help playtest translations. You can help edit trailers to help spread the word. Some projects would probably even benefit from people with genuine management skills.

When translators say they hate doing MTPE because it's faster to just do it from scratch and results in better material, we're not exaggerating. If I was a proofreader and a translator handed me this, I would immediately tell the PM to fire them. No translation is genuinely better than an MT in loc.

Even at an increase in pay for adapters, a quality script saves money where it counts: during the recording process. When the dialogue isn't thoughtfully adapted, the process grinds to a halt while everyone tries to come up with a quick solution on the spot.

"Reviewing an AI made translation" is like repairing a trainwreck VS building a new train from scratch. If you want the end result to be shiny and neat, you're better off just building it new from scratch.

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

Yes, another new interview from me. This was pretty interesting, since it was with the head of NIS. Instead of focusing on one game, I wanted to make sure I covered a wide range of topics about the business-side of NIS. I also brought up Hayaragami & Fuuraiki, which caught him off-guard I think.

If you're wondering why authors are getting so rabid here: First Anthropic stole our books. Then we got denied compensation because of US unjust copyright law and publishers failing to meet their contractual obligations. Then publishers and agents apparently claimed author shares. Now this.
