I finally posted Last Year's PHY interview with BT
Image placement and uploading was hell this time so it'll look plainer than usual.

Crunchyroll started as a piracy website that would steal the work of fansub groups and lock it behind paywalls, which caused Fansub groups to literally encode messages during the "Brought to you in part by these sponsors" segments, warning viewers that if you paid for the subs, you got scammed

same for artists. no artist is burnt out because their workload would be less with AI or their project managing software could be assisted by AI.

we’re burnt out because our work is not respected enough. what we do is seen as disposable and replaceable, rather than valuable.

I'm preparing to publish the next installment of AI Killed My Job. This time, the focus will be on translators.

If you or someone you know has had a translation job (including translator, interpreter, game localizer, etc) impacted by AI, and you'd like to share, please do: AIkilledmyjob@pm.me

Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion."" I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?" Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?" I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

"stick to menswear"

Reuters headline rads: Trump tariffs live: Japan, South Korea and other trade partners get new rates.

Let's set the stage: Trump announced that he wants to tax Japanese and South Korean goods 25% starting August 1st. That means if you're a US menswear shop importing $1,000 worth of clothes made in Japan or South Korea, you owe the US government $250.

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

📢Hi! old man yaoi readers!
KinokunoyaUSA gave us the information!

KOH-BOKU English print edition is available on July 7th, 2025!🎉🎉

And what a surprise, it will be available for EARLY RELEASE at the Anime expo on July 3rd!🥳

And and, limited editions are also available.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Just some regular fashion advice for going for a little walk in your city! Share this so others can improve their style :)

You can be your own fandom.

they left... the fucking prompt they used.... to make their fake book... in the final draft.......

Translating is difficult, but editing bad translation is even worse.

I saw someone say AI is useful because it generates ideas. My dude, I'm full of ideas. I have docs and docs marked under 'ideas.' I have outlines and fragments of stuff I might work on. Trunked stories galore. Even if I continue to write a novel a year for the next 40 years I won't run out of ideas.

Ditch Audible, friends. Amazon doesn't need more money. Use Libby (supports public libraries) or Libro FM (supports indie bookstores) instead.

NFT's were only a couple years ago some of you have really worrying short-term memory

For those failing to get the "copilot" AI off their Microsoft Word --

If you proceed with canceling Microsoft Office, you'll get a "wait wait don't go!" screen where they suddenly offer you "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" -- which *doesn't include AI* and is actually cheaper! Weird workaround.

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever

My only hot take on Switch 2 pricing is that we should all be paid more

hear hear

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Meta used at least 16 of my books, and numerous articles, to help train the AI it will use to make billions.

Can we please remember that very recently South Korea showed us all what we should do when the president does illegal shit

Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!

Welcome back! Thanks for your patience and support. As a result of President Trump's efforts, TikTok is back in the U.S.! You can continue to create, share, and discover all the things you love on TikTok.

kids, this is called propaganda

open! network!

users don't have to rebuild their following all over again each time they switch to a different app, so platforms can't lock them in

developers can bootstrap new social apps off an existing social graph of 27M+ people

win-win 🤝
