While doing research for my next book, I came across an article by mangaka/historian Kawakatsu Tokushige that featured images of a 1936 manga book about Mickey Mouse: popeyemagazine.jp/post-229915/

Kawakatsu speculated that the story and drawings were likely based on an existing work. Correctly so.

Ez a szörnyű, hogy nem menekülhetsz a rendszer elől, hiába ülsz ugyanott és teszed ugyanazt a dolgod, ha a fejed fölött az állam eldönti, hogy "beszáll az internetekbe".

My problem with "AI couldn't _really_ translate" is that this derails the conversation and creates a technical challenge.

For the sake of argument, let's assume that it can/will be able to create perfect translations.*

What are your objections in this case? Because you should have plenty...

Csikós és gulyás méregeti egymást a határban, egyikük kezébe köröz a fokos, a másik megpödri bajszát, majd a karikás ostor felé nyúl:

Sadness is a downpour—it arrives without asking, soaking through our defenses in seconds. Joy is a garden—it must be planted seed by seed, watered with intention, weeded of doubt, and fiercely guarded against the storms that would drown it.

1995-ben kijött két hekkeres film, az egyik angol, a másik amerikai. Mintha két évtized lenne köztük...

Also? This is a great initiative for AI-free comics and comics translations.

This is a genAI company *doing its own research* to find that using its product reduces coding skills.
Striking paper from researchers at Anthropic using a randomised control trial to look at the effects of AI use on skills acquisition.

TL:DR ‘We found that using AI assistance led to a statistically significant decrease in mastery.’

So proud of Ernő Juhász (typo in the original post!); he's provided art for most of my books, including an upcoming collection & comic book as well! We've been eyeing New Edge for a while now.
WELCOME ERNŐ JUNHÁSZ!
Ernő will have new illustrations in this year's issues. Go here to see more cool art, gaze upon mighty crowdfund exclusives, and sign up to be alerted on launch day 👉 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

The British Museum reportedly posted AI slop images depicting an Asian influencer viewing the exhibitions. The digital character is linked to a Hong Kong-based marketing company.

Do:
1. Check the files/sharepoint addresses even when last time they worked
2. Start a series bible (even for trilogies)
3. Read the whole book/all available volumes before the starts
4. Find a balance between well-paying clients/fun work/pro bono work.
(5. Get a day job)
Translators, what are your top 5 do's and don'ts of translation/localization?

(Inspired by a great conversation we had today with our local translators group.)

Az adóbevallás legeslegvégsőbb határideje holnap van. Fél órája le is adtam.

Jövőre viszont ehhez már kéne egy könyvelő (és akkor július végén túl lennék rajta)

Másfél óra múlva jelenésem van, úgyhogy természetesen addig már nem tudok semmit csinálni.

“A.i.” is for creeps and weasels.
"The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that, whatever its long-term potential, contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs."
