SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

11年の経歴を持つ、日英ゲーム翻訳者です。機密保持契約書でどのクライアントだったか特定できないんですけど、近年発売された、結構人気のゲームのローカライズ資料を納品してから、その開発社が独自のAI翻訳ツールを発表しました。使われた画像などからして私たちの英訳が使用された可能性が極めて高くて、ツールの存在を知ったら激怒しなかったと言ったら嘘になりますね。他のケースもあるかもしれませんけど、確認したのはそれだけです。 翻訳過程自体が一年以上かかった、数百万字程度の巨大な脚本だから、こんな結末になると思ったら誰も長い間努力する気はなかったでしょう。クリエイティブとして尊敬されていない感じです…

「「ライザのアトリエ」の原作の全シナリオと設定集を学習して生まれた，SpiralAI独自開発の「SpiralLLM」が採用されているとのこと。」 ええ……。 これからは契約書に納品したテキストをAI学習には使わないという項目いれないとダメだなあ…… www.4gamer.net/games/029/G1...

Procured a CRT for CEO mystery I thought the Big Get™️ was getting another decent S-Video input to the lineup But the real get was that it’s shockingly light for a 20”?! It’s so nice

As my fiance once said, Muppets are the ultimate triumph of Kayfabe.

Leaf~@leaftilde.bsky.social · 16h ago

Okay we all have criticism for the hegemonic goliath that is American culture but one thing that I love is the continued practice of treating the Muppets, including the denizens of Sesame Street, as if they are real, living entities. I dunno I think it's a charming bit of collective whimsy.

El-Sayed wins Michigan after being outspent 10-1. Happy birthday to me 🎉🎂

They stopped making things handle the weight of a CRT & that's why all Furniture Sucks now.

The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.

LOL. Abdul El-Sayed WON the Democratic Primary in Michigan despite being outspent 10-1! Amazing gaslighting here.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

I guess the PACs should have spent the full $64m.

Unfathomable

he ran against the full force of the zionist establishment and won. unbelievable victory

i saw someone essentially asking 'why are people more willing to donate to ngos and charities than directly to vulnerable people's gofundmes' and i have to be real here i suspect the answer is 'because they don't know you'

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

@camibelle.bsky.social playing Xrd

I knew I was correct in being excited for this game but also this is fucked up

For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.

You know you can just buy the guts of an arcade stick, and turn anything into an arcade stick. I don't even drink.

I salute Haley Stevens for flushing millions of AIPAC dollars down the toilet.
