The fact that not enough people use this shit-ass technology that is always wrong and it costs too much to constantly maintain so it can't ever make any profit is, to me, very fucking funny.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I can not stress how important it is that you be kind to customer service reps, especially when it's clear they're messengers forced to tell you something you don't want to hear. You're definitely not the first person they've had to talk to about it, so don't be an asshole to them.
I’ve heard you can literally, physically see the strain on these call center workers between shifts while they’re out and about. Cannot stress enough that this call campaign is way more effective than some people realize. Please be kind when you call. (3)

Since the 2000s there has been increased tension between literal payment processors (PayPal) and NSFW creators. I believe banks and card networks became more anxious around adult material after the Obama era DoJ rolled out Operation Choke Point, an anti-fraud initiative that ended up debanking many
Do you have a sense of what caused the shift? I’m curious if it was literally just the collective shout campaign, if you happen to know more

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

AI dubs aren't just an attempt to replace voice actors. Engineering, mixing, writing, directing, and QC are also cut, narrowed down to a single prompter.
When I write dub scripts, it is an exercise in musicality, translation, and personal life experience. A prompter understands none of that.

We all agree that these "dubs" suck.
But once again, that's not the core problem here. The quality will inevitably improve, though I personally doubt to the quality of a dub made by actual humans who care.
The problem is that these exist AT ALL. They're an offense to art, and always will be.

Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

The GOP (including those who run Mastercard and Visa) has never been the party of small businesses. I think that facade is crumbling at this scale for the first time
always remember the elites don't object to perversion and sex, they use it in advertising all the time. They object to the fact the underclasses have a source of joy and freedom they don't explicitly control and doesn't always result in new consumers and soldiers.
It’s absolutely insane that in America’s late stage capitalism hellscape, where even refrigerators are starting to play ads, payment processors are just like “no porn. That’s where we draw the line.”

Do not watch any anime Amazon has exclusive rights to on their platform. Don't click play on it, even if your intention is to watch it in Japanese.
