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
Share a piece of anime lore that lives rent-free in your head.

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.

No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow"
We're burnt out because we're paid dirt so we need day jobs to survive

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

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces.
AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse.
This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

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.

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.

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.
Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans.
P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots

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.
