An anarchist here to ask asinine questions about the USSR. At least I was when I got here.

    SHIROBAKO

    Once upon a time, five girls made an animated film and it was so much fun that they pledged to get jobs in animation so that someday they could make another film together. Now, two years later, Aoi, Shizuka, Ema, Misa and Midori have learned the truth about the anime industry: it’s not always fun, it’s anything but easy, and having talent isn’t always enough to open the right doors.

    Which is why Aoi’s overwhelmed by her job as a production assistant, Shizuka’s waiting on tables between auditions, Midori’s currently scriptless, Misa’s switched to C.G., and Ema’s working long hours as a key animator. Is it what they imagined? No. But are they ready to give up? Not just yet! Sometimes, when things happen in animation, they can happen in the most wonderful ways!

    That’s certainly the pitch, but that’s not really what it is in practice, is it? It responds to your questions completely immediately, at a clear cost to the environment and even people’s access to water and electricity; it has vast amounts of knowledge, which is to say it possesses knowledge that any human could get from just skimming the first few results of a web search and then confidently bullshitting the rest; it never leaves you nor tires of you, and it’s always by your side, in much the same way as an anime body pillow is; and it gets to know you as you tell it things you’d tell nobody else, because you’re feeding your most sensitive information into foreign data centers, where your information might come up in other people’s chats, if it doesn’t literally get leaked without your consent.

    I would see the appeal if it worked exactly as the pitch says, but it doesn’t. People are deluding themselves to their own detriment.

    Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

    First year high schooler Midori Asakusa loves anime so much, she insists that “concept is everything” in animation. Though she draws a variety of ideas in her sketchbook, she hasn’t taken the first step to creating anime, insisting that she can’t do it alone. The producer-type Sayaka Kanamori is the first to notice Asakusa’s genius. Then, when it becomes clear that their classmate, charismatic fashion model Tsubame Mizusaki, really wants to be an animator, they create an animation club to realize the “ultimate world” that exists in their minds.

    Response to response

    Minori? Mihari? Matsuri?

    One of these is correct, and one of these is one letter off.

    I. Chika and (?) N***ye are the lead characters with the other three being secondary

    I would say all the characters are really about equal, or really if anything it’s the two three-letter characters who regularly steal the spotlight…

    KONOSUBA - God’s blessing on this wonderful world!

    Kazuma Satou decides that today is the day to get out of the house for a bit. Since he dies, pointlessly, it’s clearly a bad choice. The goddess who greets him in the afterlife, however, offers him a chance to be reborn in a world not unlike that of a video game, and as a bonus she’ll even throw in a cool item or power! Can’t possibly be a bad choice, right? Except he arrives with no money at all, dead average skills, and his “bonus” isn’t useful at all–since he picked the goddess, Aqua, herself. How are the two of them supposed to defeat the evil Devil King and live happily ever after? Well, for them, it probably starts with day laboring rather than adventuring. And it’s only going to get more disappointing from there!

    I genuinely don’t understand how people end up this way about “AI”. Like I just plainly don’t get it. People are capable of understanding how these machines work, including what they do with your input and the privacy ramifications of that, and figuring out through reason, research and experimentation what good use cases for the technology are — I have myself experimented with LLMs on several occasions, and have determined that I have basically no use for the technology at all, and only a few very limited use cases for other ML-based technologies.

    I do not believe myself to be better than other people, nor uniquely capable of making rational decisions about new technologies, and yet here we are: relatives, employers, coworkers and the likes all treating “AI” as a god rather than as a mechanical Turk… But what on Earth drives these people to believe so firmly? We the actors who populate the present day are certainly Children of Troubled Times, it seems.

    The reason you don’t remember Hazel’s “other” Suntory Penguin video is probably because that was her worst performing video ever, which she believes was because the 'grithm didn’t like that she put “beer” in the video title, and accordingly refused to show her video in anybody’s recommendations. So, seeing the garbage numbers her latest labor of love was pulling, Hazel took her Suntory Penguin video down around six months ago, and said she’d reupload it “within a few weeks” with the necessary changes to hopefully please Our Benefactors — naturally, Hofstadter’s law kicked in, and so that reupload only came a few days ago.

    To iu koto wa, yes, the latest Hazel video is just a reupload of the Suntory Penguin video she made half a year ago. I remember seeing the original upload in my subscription feed and excitedly adding it to my watch later, only for it to be gone by the next time I checked my watch later…
