One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

I don’t think editors get enough recognition. Who are your favorite comic book editors?

Apparently the AI bros are on another round of "Hatsune Miku is AI, checkmate luddites" so this is just a reminder that the singer behind Miku was paid and still earns royalties, and beyond that, Miku is nothing more than a MIDI soundboard with advanced pitch converter options, it is not genAI.

Trying to keep words like "nakama" in Japanese, on the other hand, is pure Orientalism.

It is done to exoticize something, and try to pretend it is something different than the very normal and widespread concept the word represents.

It is an attempt to "other" the work.

There's a reason why I've been so adamant in not touching the slop generators for anything. The moment you start justifying "just one thing" is the moment you start to find new ways to justify using it.

You lose your ability to stand against it, because suddenly you're invested in keeping it.
Slowly realizing even my political friends who say they hate AI are using it to speed up tasks like email writing, formatting grant applications etc

people measurably don’t want to pay for AI-generated content. you can’t grow a business off of a product no one will pay for.
you don’t need to be an AI skeptic to understand that using AI like this will kill your business.
As machine translation tools under the banner of AI become increasingly accessible and easy to use, the light novel landscape is at a crossroads. Do light novel publishers compromise their product for more speed, and if so, by how much?

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.

Manga friends: I'm going to try to make some kind of memorial for Matt Haasch. If you have stories, photos, or any words of appreciation you want to share, please let me know. DMs are open.

If there's anyone doing something similar already please also let me know and we can pool our efforts.

Sometimes the only way I can keep getting up everyday, what with the country and world being how it is right now, is because all I can do is put nice things into the world. And if that's just well localized manga that people enjoy...well, then I can get up tomorrow too.

the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production
we need a slur for people who want this future
