Once again, if you use AI to "make" your movie, show, game, or book then I will not watch, play, or read it. You clearly didn't care that much about it, so why should the audience?

jessamyn@librarian.bsky.social · 5d agoI work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

Today's Refrigerator Kanji: mannenhitsu 万年筆 (fountain pen) At my younger daughter's request, I'm trying something different and showing several kanji in the context of a word. I think the combination of the literal meanings of the kanji in the word will be pretty memorable.

I just finished reading @neuranne.bsky.social's Tiny Experiments. (HIGHLY recommended, BTW.) As I was reading, it occurred to me that Refrigerator Kanji is an example of the idea she cites to "Learn in public." Every Refrigerator Kanji is a kanji that I've had trouble with that day.
