Character.ai's Bankruptcy Documents Show the Economics of AI Don't Work

Character.ai enshittified its product but was still burning tons of cash, its bankruptcy documents say.

I love animation, reader. I LOVE ANIMATION

Kiriyama Sensei Comment:
The worlds of Naruto, Fūsuke and their friends are meeting and intertwining and that makes me genuinely thrilled!
This miracle has come to pass thanks to Kishimoto Sensei’s proposal and generosity.
I’m very honored that he understands and embraces the world of NINKŪ so deeply.
The adventures of Naruto, Fūsuke, and their friends are about to begin.
Please look forward to it with as much excitement and anticipation as we, the creators, do!

Kishimoto Sensei Comment:
I created NARUTO because I personally wanted to see the continuation of NINKŪ.
I think many of you have already noticed, but NARUTO was immensely influenced by NINKŪ. Without NINKŪ, NARUTO would not exist.
Simply put, Fūsuke is Naruto’s secret mentor.
Eventually, I began dreaming of bringing this master-and-student relationship out of the shadows, and into an actual storyline.
Kiriyama Sensei, who is as much a mentor to me as Fūsuke is to Naruto, graciously agreed to my selfish request.
By meeting with me in person and with his extensive cooperation, he helped make my long-standing dream a reality.
I was finally able to create a continuation of NINKŪ in the truest sense. It consists of 4 episodes in total, and I hope you enjoy it to the very end!

Reading The AI Con and in addition to being remarkably easy to read, sharp and laugh-out loud funny, it's also got some remarkably sharp insight: generated images do not fuck with our brains like generated text does. I wonder what this implies for code...

Photo of page 31 from The AI Con, chapter "It's Alive! The Hype of Thinking Machines".
Middle paragraph reads:
How our mind processes language can be contrasted with how we process the outputs of text-to-image models like Midjourney and DALL-E. These synthetic image machines share a lot of properties with the synthetic text machines: their function is predicated on massive data theft and profligate energy use, it's easy to be impressed by them, and they are being used to threaten people's livelihoods. But no one is suggesting that they are sentient - we can interpret their output (images) without imagining a mind selecting symbols in an attempt to communicate.

the final Compile-made Puyo Puyo's now in English (totally separate from whatever bullshit comp was floating around a few weeks ago)—it's more Capcom Fighting Jam than Fighters Megamix, but I think most ppl will be fine with it for at least as long as it takes to beat the very silly quasi-RPG mode

the funniest part is he asked for n64 bomberman, we booted up 64, and then he was like "oh not that one the one with the good song" so he was 100% thinking about redial (but bought 64 and 2nd attack alongside hero anyway)

I've never posted these two together, have I? Motoko & Batou

Digital illustration of Major Motoko Kusanagi and Batou from Ghost in the Shell. Here, Motoko is a short haired woman wearing a white suit with a blue half unbuttoned shirt underneath. She stands confidently with her hand in her pockets. Batou, a very large muscular middle-aged man wearing a weird sort of gamer bikini, stands next to her with his right hand on her back. His hair is gray and short, and he has gray bottle caps for eyes. They are both barefoot because the artist was lazy.

Your occasional reminder: Never forget, just because a game is running in an emulator doesn't mean it's running correctly & even if it is running as intended, the default settings can still be completely wrong

old tweet showing the correct Riot DIP settings whereas mame gives you 4 lives for reasons unknown, which obviously changes the game balance quite a lot

Awesome, more Asians from Asia are researching how orientalism shaped the Celtic revival. Nobel Prize winner for literature WB Yeats wrote multiple poems that have cool all-destroying katana blades and mystic Chinese immortals show up. www.davidpublisher.com/Public/uploa...

School of Foreign Languages, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China
W. B. Yeats (1865-1939), Noble Prize winner for literature in 1923, is an influential Irish poet, playwright and
critic. This paper will discuss that Yeats is devoted to seek and construct Irish cultural identity in his poetry
because of the Irish cultural and identity crisis as well as his own identity anxiety. Yeats endeavours to establish a
distinctly Irish cultural identity through reviving Irish traditional folklore, myths and legends, hybridising English
language, and absorbing oriental culture in his poetry.
Keywords: W. B. Yeats, poetry, construction of cultural identity, Irish cultural identity, Irish Literary Revival
