Wild story, a font service was bought out by a US company and now they are absolutely dogshit and it'll particularly heavily affect JP games, especially service titles.

I just want to point out that the same payment processors who hassle sex workers and erotica producers will gladly process any bets you want to make on war crimes.
In all seriousness...was there some particular thing that led to the current gambling explosion in society? Or at least made it possible? Polymarket, draftkings, online poker, other prediction markets...all of this seemed to happen very very fast.
Why did everything become gambling so suddenly?

Around this time of year, people who strung their Christmas lights the wrong way start wandering into hardware stores looking for what they later find out is often called a "suicide cable."

Guy who got paid $500k to come up with it: Strong floor, no ceiling, surely this slogan doesn't harken back to literally over a century of Leftist imagery. No need to look up anything.

What if instead of assuming everyone else just doesn't see the problem correctly, we admitted some concerns can't be perspective-shifted away and trying to convince everyone *else* to do so while ignoring those problems is treating those people as disposable for the common good? Is this anything?
what if instead of being anti-tech to a degree that isn’t winnable, those who have (sometimes very legitimate) concerns instead chose to empower themselves through technology instead of resisting it? could this be anything?
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening

Every time one of these stories about how students don’t know anything or can’t read b/c of three cueing or whatever circulates I quiz the kids on their education. They get taught in poor ways sometimes but they also read a lot, so seem to be doing OK. They also dislike generative tech on principle.

The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing.

We seem to be able to identify scab technology when we see it
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
