If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

TIL that Tom Baker’s reading of the Gremlins novelisation has an extra line not present in the book or the film, basically “frozen water doesn’t affect mogwai”.

I like to think that Tom read the rules, saw the subsequent pages of snow scenes, and withdrew labour until there was an explanation.

you don't have to cheer a fascist just because they start a fight with a different fascist, you don't have to consider them a part of your "coalition", you don't actually have to do anything except root for injuries on both sides

not complicated imo

If you have a billion dollars, you literally have enough money to never have to hear any criticism for the rest of your life. Just because they’re all addicted to going online and getting yelled at isn’t my fucking problem.
The perfect Yglesias post: declaring “billionaires are good, actually,” as if it was some bold, counterintuitive take.

THIS. Read Asterix in English, and see how Hockridge and Bell don’t just transliterate but remake whole puns and wordplays that sparkle in English culturally as well as linguistically. Flawless work that simply cannot be done without true understanding of *the concept of meaning*
AND ANOTHER THING, WHILE I'M AT IT:

ENOUGH WITH THESE BULLSHIT CLAIMS THAT AI CAN REPLACE HUMAN TRANSLATORS!!!

Translation is *not* the science of finding the perfect definition of a word from a foreign language and putting that definition into the text.

Translators translate, of course. But!

AI is deeply flawed and more to the point in NO WAY PREDESTINED. So many of these letters present it like, “welp, we let it out of the cage, now we just have to love the monster as it eats us.” We don’t. We can hunt the beast and kick it back into its crate and then sink it beneath the waves.

RFK Jr.’s changes to the vaccination schedule will kill thousands of American children. But my liberal neighbors handed out apples and raisins on Halloween. I have never felt more politically homeless.

If you were Nick Fuentes coming up with a mean-spirited and bigoted “satirical” character to mock and belittle Jews or to discredit complaints about antisemitism you would wind up with something very like Eve Barlow, who said it was a “pogrom” to be called Eve Fartlow
What these people are doing to the power of calling out real antisemitism, in an incredibly dangerous time of surging global antisemitism….man, it is just so worrisome
