As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.

This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.

So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

When I wrote last month that translators have been the guinea pigs for a decade in companies' attempts to diminish the work of experts and reduce them to supervising computers, I wasn't exaggerating in the least. They're just ready to spill more blood elsewhere now. dateemups.com/machine-tran...
"Since then—and I must stress, well, well before AI become the buzzword du jour of boardrooms across the globe—translation agencies, which are companies that serve as middlemen between translators and their actual clients, have largely won in using machine translators to fundamentally alter the parameters of the job. At the biggest such outfits, completely human-driven translations are portrayed as a luxury, even if the rates they pay out reflect that narrative less with each passing year. Instead, the name of the game now is PMTE, or post-machine translation editing, a process where the source material is first run through a machine translator and then inspected by a human. At a minimum, intervention is expected in cases of outright factual errors, but it's also not uncommon for clients to emphasize the E in PMTE and request editing that leads to a punchier final product. "Agencies argue that, by virtue of putting the onus of the first draft on the machine translator (ie: allegedly the bulk of the work), PMTE is inherently faster and more efficient at producing deliverable content than human translations. As a result, PMTE jobs are offered with lower rates, the expectation ostensibly being that any per-job drop in income can be made up by simply doing more PMTE. Less time taken for one assignment means more time to take on, you guessed it, more assignments." "In practice, this tends to not be the case. Quite often, PMTE ends up being a far more time and labor-intensive methodology due to the added step of comparing an existing translation against the original text, rather than immediately drafting a translation from scratch and moving on at a steady pace. Nevertheless, because PMTE isn't priced to reflect the actual effort required to achieve a satisfactory end result, it's had the knock-on effect of depressing rates for full human translations despite their supposed luxury status, as the latter must now compete against false narratives of superior efficiency. These diminishing returns are taking place across virtually all subject matters, not just entertainment like my own. Even legal, patent, and medical translators, people whose manual input was deemed most vital to maintain for decades as a matter of liability, integrity, and trustworthiness, are under as much duress, if not more so due to unfair perceptions of formulaic, repeatable compositional standards in their work." "If these refrains sound familiar because of complaints from creatives in other sectors—the appropriation, the hallucinations, the assertions of enhanced productivity, the downward pressure on income—it's not a coincidence. Translators have been the canary in this particular automated coal mine longer than most everyone else. Businesses have successfully and profitably rendered us unnecessary in so many use cases that the tactics and rhetoric that have been battle-tested against us under various guises for decades are now being deployed verbatim against everyone else AI has set its sights on. What may feel like a new menace to my fellow writers and especially my artist, musician, and voice actor friends is sadly anything but to people in my business. Translation was always, to a certain type of technologist and investor, an obvious, intuitive test bed to explore the possibilities of machine learning and hone its applications. It's only after their thinking was proven fiscally correct that, with AI “proper” now capable of imitating the work of far more occupations, those fangs are bared at them, as well."

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.

The coup was over in hours because people said no.

i am going completely insane watching gamers make up shit about horses and interrogating every single thing the devs have said for inconsistencies and then deciding well it probably had cp in it. this is the easy mode version of the kinds of censorship that are to come and you're failing like babies

millennials and zoomers all grew up without this shit. people in their 40s now had unrestricted internet access as kids. people want to talk about this issue like it's 1994 and we just don't know what the internet is or will do to the first ever cohort of children to see it. it's horseshit.

They censored "MILF"??? As in, "Mom I'd Like to Fuck"???

Does that mean Fountains of Wayne's hit song "Stacy's Mom" is now considered bannable content?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZLf...

I logged into my Fakku account and can confirm the tags “incest,” “tentacles,” “milf,” “loli,” “shota,” and “forced” lead to the following page. The notice regarding payment processing is obviously worrying. I reached out to Jacob to see if he can give any insight. More updates in this thread

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

a sign people really want a feature and find it good is when companies make turning it off a 12 part process (firefox), require registry modifications (microsoft) or contact support to reveal the real off switch instead of their two decoy toggles (google) so they can claim people don't turn it off 📈

Basically it's gone from under $400 to commercially license a font for a game, to a subscription model that's $20,500 a year lmfao.

No other options, no other recourse beyond "hope they change their minds I guess, this sucks!".

Monotype can go to hell lol they've always been like this.

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.

When you talk about a union behaving like a mafia, this is who you're talking about

Actors fighting for other actors

When you mock the negotiation committee that fought for months, call them "unhinged" in your youtube videos

You're talking about people fighting for a better future.
