You could launch a full-up newspaper from the 300 people laid off by the Washington Post 3 hours ago. Instantly. Business. Sports. Metro. Ukraine. China. AI & tech. They'd start writing this afternoon! A 300-person newsroom would cost about $80 million a year (running a little lean). Just saying. I hear there are some billionaires out there looking for places to invest.


Well over a decade ago the webcomic XKCD posted about 'Citogenesis' with people imagining stuff, adding it to wikipedia, having people copy from wikipedia sans citation, then the article being cited in the original wikipedia as proof of the claim Feels like AI will be much worse

This is why im anti-localizer. All these westerners constantly spouting a out how this character is trans and going as far as harrassing the japanese for being "transphobic" because westerners dont have the nuance for these japanese cultural phenomenon. Many japanese are calling this character otokonoko (male-daughter, a crossdressing male). This character isn't trans, im not against trans people but this character is a male. From what the japanese are saying, this character is similar to Ruka from Steins;Gate, a self-defined male who crossdresses specifically to be more attractive to a person they love.
