Many parts of Japan have local superstitions about going out to sea during Obon. That's because the boats that carry the dead souls from the underworld to the world of the living are sailing on these days, and you might bump into a wayward spirit!

Stay away from the water during Obon!

It's official. The SAG strike is finally over. It took an entire year but now VAs have the AI protections they sought. This is a huge victory. Do not let anyone who isn't in the industry tell you otherwise.

Shut up. I asked Anubis and he has measured your soul against the the feather of ma'at and found your soul lacking, sentencing you to be devoured by ammit

Writing an entirely new module on critical approaches to digital media & AI. I'll post a few links from my prep as I go. This is an excellent eye opening documentary from DW about the exploitation of Kenyan AI annotation workers, who are exposed to horrific material & bear the psychological scars

Breaks my heart seeing massive layoffs hitting our industry again ☹️

Video-Game Companies Have an AI Problem: Players Don’t Want It Publishers like EA and Take-Two are warning shareholders about the potential “reputational” risks of AI

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI.

The longer you look the better it gets...

Had a good walk today. It felt like my hood in Germany, although I’m in Kanagawa.

2 Search Labs | Al Overview D +1 The LAVIEW, a Seibu Railway limited express train, makes 14 stops on its route, primarily between |kebukuro and Seibu Chichibu stations. The main stops include: Ikebukuro, Hanzomon, Kasumigaseki, Shinjuku, Shimo-Tsuruma, Hachiman-dori, Nakatomi, Komatsu, Shin-juku Gyoen-mae, Kichijoji, Takadanobaba, Ochanomizu, and Seibu Chichibu. •

I mapped the bullshit route just for fun over the Tokyo metro map and it is silly.

The route from Ikebukuro to Chichibu has just gotten a lot more interesting courtesy of Google AI. And while it’s been sort of fun mapping it out for you, how do I get rid of this shit? Please and thank you.

Krispy Kreme in Japan will sell special Pac-Man donuts starting May 14th! Maybe the pellets were donuts all this time… 🤔

Did AI kill your job? If so, I want to hear about it.

The response to my story on the AI jobs crisis has been overwhelming. I heard from so many people impacted by AI that it made me want to collect and organize these stories to better understand the phenomenon.

The music was cringe, dialogues were cringe and they were rushing through the story BUT I could finally understand the ✨drama✨

(The Anime aired in Germany around 1994-98? ..I was too young to understand.)

this entire world needs to slow the fuck down and stop obsessing over profits, because all of this is destroying us all

Spotted the F volcano. 🗻

So grateful to be around this sleeping beauty for 10 years already. (Hoping that they’ll sleep for another 300 years, though🤣)

Nature and the city

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.

Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Is it strange to look for jobs, just because I want to buy nice things without having to ask for permission? 😂

Sleeping piglets

piglet sniffing our hands

Went to a Pig Cafe with the kids.
And this was my first and last time to go. Our „private room“ with these 2-month-old-babies was just too small.
They tried to eat our bags and clothes, so I guess they were quite stressed..😓
But my kids did a good job and were carefully.

If you thought ghosts were the scariest thing in Subway Exorcist Girl, you haven’t seen what happens when AI decides to take on a language as nuanced as Japanese. Spoiler alert: the ghosts were easier to deal with.

Ah ok, I went there in October and there was like 2hr waiting time for the way up.
But glad you didn’t walk, google lied about the 20mins walking trail. We were 3 adults and it took at least 1 hour. And it was steep and scary and super narrow at times. seems like it’s not taken care of in winter🙈🥲

Did you take the „short“ hiking trail…🙈
And how crowded was the ropeway at this time of the year?😓

Chibi got into drawing Sailormoon~
So proud!🥹✨

Please let this year be full of energy, productivity and harmony … and maybe less Influenza infections, cmon 🫣🫠

The first night of my kids sleeping in their own beds, in another room😱😱 The fell asleep, but I can’t relax without hearing them 😂

AI Translations Cannot and Should Never Replace Human Creativity AI translations in creative spaces like anime and games are gaining traction, but companies and supporters should reconsider their stance.

Wrote this for Siliconera. Sad to say I expected the kind of comments in response to this; many of the regular commentors seemed pretty pro-AI for the usual reasons. Glad to see character growth in myself though bc 2020 me would not have been able to hold back
