still think this is a fun story

Screenshot of a small thread I posted on Twitter back in May 2024:

people talk about the dorito peasant but imagine being a premodern peasant in East Asia and a bard wanders into your village and tells a part of The Water Margin or Romance of the Three Kingdoms just completely explodes your mind and you're all talking about Guan Yu afterwards

my favorite anecdotes about this, and I'm just paraphrasing a lecture from uni, was a testimony from white missionaries who got kidnapped for ransom by bandits in late Qing China, iirc, and the bandits apparently spent all night talking about their favorite Water Margin stories

just instantly brings to my imagination being some guys living out in the woods robbing people to survive and all your free time is spent arguing about the power levels of the coolest guys from the favorite oral classic stories

I guarantee you AI won’t kill us all. The claim’s a projection of reckless rich buffoons who can’t wait to be the only humans alive, openly fantasizing about a cull. Again. I’ve never been scared of AI, but the megalomaniacs forcing it on us are terrifying. I can’t guarantee they won’t kill us all.

Refunding everyone and halting sales of another project will no doubt be a massive financial hit to LiC (an indie company!!), which makes it all the more admirable that they're doing this.

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer treatment has demonstrated unprecedented results in a large trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

Lol wtf, seems like it was way more work to use the thing that supposedly makes actual work obsolete than it would've to learn the skills needed to do it properly

The ironic part of this patch is that it uses machine translation to translate a game whose story is about an artificial intelligence replacing humans. Pepa describes the AI usage: “This is an AI-assisted translation. The first pass was machine-translated from the Japanese PlayStation script, not the Sega CD version. For 1.0 the whole script was translated again at full length, now that the engine no longer limits how long a line can be, and every line went through a human review that changed 10,970 of them. The voice subtitles are timed from a speech-recognition pass over the Japanese audio, checked by hand, and reviewed the same way.”

While using machine translation, pepa said they put in a considerate effort in making sure it’s human-reviewed: “I know what an AI-slop patch looks like, and I don’t want this to be one. The English is read against the Japanese scene by scene and rewritten wherever it reads like a machine wrote it. The 1994 Sega CD localization is a reference for terminology and tone where the scenes overlap, not a source. Names follow the Japanese, so the subtitles match what the voice actors say.”

Their effort doesn’t stop there. They even created an entire tool to verify every scene and vocal line: “The review is done in a tool built for it: every line of a scene on one row, with the speaker, the Japanese with furigana, the English, and a button that plays the voice line straight off the disc. A headless harness plays the game and photographs every subtitle, and every reported bug has a save attached so it can be reached again.”

I think if you commit any act of rape, you should immediately be expelled from your school, blacklisted from all other schools, and go the fuck to prison. Not be put on some private list that the university conceals from the public and then be allowed to have a big YouTube audience.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

survivors are also frequently encouraged to "speak out" and "start conversations" in order to "change the world" but we receive nothing but harrassment, suspicion, and hate for doing so. i grieve so often for the girl i was during MeToo who truly believed that things were soon to get better.

Thank you Tapas for giving us yet another great example of why digital "purchases" that don't come with DRM-free downloads are no purchases at all, just rentals with an undefined time period :) I just loooove spending hundreds to thousands on a digital platform only to have you take it all away!

Screenshot from the Tapas shutdown "Ink and Refunds" section, with highlight on the last two paragraphs that basically say "Can my purchases be transferred to other Kakao-owned services? No. Can I get refunds? No." You just lose everything you've ever paid for on Tapas!

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
