Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Some have contacted the FCC over Crunchyroll, but many haven't referenced shows that previously aired on TV, & they won't act unless the show was televised. However, we've found at least with Mobile Suit Gundam & Iron Blooded Orphnans that HAVE aired on TV. Start with those 2 shows as reference.
I believe a strong case could be made that CR's egregiously sloppy captions on so many shows violate FCC regulation 47 C.F.R. § 79.1(j)(2), (3), and (k), per the CVAA act of 2010, which applies to streaming.
It may be time for people to start bombarding the FCC Consumer Complaint Form.

actual quote from a language company executive: “Why should we pay for higher quality translations when people will happily pay us for poorer quality translations?”
"ai is going to take your job" was just the capitalists admitting they can give us trash and we have to take it
huh so Google is kicking off the new year by pissing off knitters that’s fun

At 260 posts (before this one), this account is apparently in the top 4,100-ish accounts of all time.
You are massively underestimating what percentage of a site's active users are seriously, regularly, reliably active on the site without making posts. It takes about 10 posts/comments total to be in the 99th percentile of daily active users and about 150 posts to be in the 99.99th percentile.

It's been effective for me in talking to kids and students -- they think it works, that it knows what it's doing, and pointing out simply and cleanly that it doesn't do what it says it does is easy and effective. Then you can move onto deeper arguments.
There’s this idea that I’ve been pondering for a bit that’s probably yet another Everyone Will Yell At Me thing, but… I don’t think that pointing out that AI is full of inaccuracies is an effective tactic at getting people not to use it. It’s based on cultural context that not everyone shares…

Crunchyroll can afford to partially bankroll 1 out of every 5 new anime but can't afford to have an free tier or hire humans to write captions or subtitles
ok great, time to definitively end the one thing that made the service popular to begin with
have they fired the CEO yet??
they are gonna miss the “25 by 25” milestone and that is the sort of thing that results in fired executives. just wondering, just wondering…

This picture should be the cudgel that beats AI into the ground permanently.
This insane bit, from the dub of Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus ep 10
The line is actually "I'm enraptured."

The way you can tell "AI" is the future is because one of the most popular searches is "How do I get this AI shit out of my computer"
here's an updated guide on how to remove all of the AI from Firefox

Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

One evil has been slain - but I hear the LATAM Spanish AI dub is still up. This needs to be fixed also.
