It's still so hard to believe that, just five years after somehow managing to finish *reading* my all-time favorite series in its original Japanese, out of all the people living here, I was the one chosen to finally give it the Portuguese translation it deserves.
Words cannot describe it.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Seems like it’s the CEOs who should lose their jobs to AI 🤷🏻♂️
The disconnect between management and employee on AI usage is big. At the same time, CEOs are reporting they aren't seeing any revenue growth from AI.

CEOs Say AI Is Making Work More Efficient. Employees Tell a Different Story.
How much time workers say the technology saves them on the job is vastly different from what executives report.

Viewers, don't be fooled! This is not done for your benefit.
This is about squeezing ever more money out for their share holders and CEOs. Nothing is "improved" by this. On the contrary, it's deteriorating localisation & disrespecting the "content".

We've been calling them 'words.'
But here's the thing: that's not quite tadashii.
A kotoba isn't a word.
They're something else entirely-
a role unique to Japanese gengo.
And there's no eigo no kotoba that surus it seigi.
So from ima on, wareware tsukau the hontou no kotoba: kotoba.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

"Actually, burning people's passions away and replacing them with bright-eyed youngsters full of hope who shall then also be burned out in an endless hellish cycle of destroying the human soul is quite profitable for me."
I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.
