Anime and manga are utterly eating the west's lunch right now because of their storytelling and visual creativity. There's going to be a certain level of lazy slop in every industry but whatever else you think about it, the anime/manga industry has a glut of creativity Half the anime each season has a style so unique you can instantly pick it. Sure there's ten "I was reborn with a cheat skill in a new world" shows for every good one, but what's the ratio in the west? Good movies and shows are so rare it feels like they're made by mistake. There's a handful of games with anything close to passable writing. The only bastions of creativity are online, from outside the major industries: it took youtubers to make the best horror movies in the past five years, and an indie studio to make the best animated shows, to say nothing of music and games. And good Lord, the voice acting in the west is atrocious. Even if the animation studios woke up, the west genuinely couldn't make something like Bocchi the Rock, Frieren, Chainsaw Man, let alone any of the more artistic ones like Lain. And it's not because these are some untouchable masterpieces, it's that the West's standards have fallen off a cliff. This isn't a "RETVRN TO THE PAST" thing, it's just a fact. Lovecraft was considered slop in his day and modern readers have to look up word definitions every other page

this is what Miyazaki meant when he said “otaku have ruined the anime industry” btw People don’t want to tell stories inspired by life and what they love, they want to just make their favorite media over again without mixing in THEIR experiences.

If the *only* impact of LLMs professionally was causing people to "think out loud" in a way which was routinely captured by computer systems and then could be operated on by computer systems, that would *by itself* be one of the most consequential changes in practice in 100 years

@snewmanpv @David_Kasten Incredible value in the log files, too, because they’re contemporaneous candid notes of what I was thinking and doing, in better fidelity than I’ve ever had before. Terminal logs are great but don’t include annotations like “Dead end; ignoring that line of inquiry.”

@eigenrobot tragically the zoomers appear split on whether the rich, the old, or the foreigners are the ones stealing chickens

Story time. My grandfather (still alive, 95) worked on the family farm in the summers. His uncle was the owner at that point, now that whole area is timmigrant slums. It was a reasonably prosperous farm, but they had what would have been normal meals at the time, hearty but unpretentious. The farm next door was famous for their lavish lunches. Not just for the family, but all the hands. And they were braggarts. Very proud of this tradition and pointed to it as a reason for their success. Chickens started to go missing from our farm. And a ham. Various other foodstuffs. This went on for a bit, and happened to other farms in the area too. My grandfather, his uncle and a couple of others decided to sit up and catch whatever vagabond was responsible. It took three nights of little sleep after long days on the farm, but holed up in some bushes near the coop they finally spotted someone sneaking through the darkness towards the chickens. They jumped up, hit them with a flashlight and yelled stop. The would be thief turned and ran and my great great uncle hit them with a 12 gauge shotguns worth of rock salt and let them know the other barrel wouldn’t be salt. It was the holier than thou neighbour who was famous for the lavish lunch spreads. Funding all those gourmands had apparently outstripped their resources and rather than pare back the offerings and lose face they’d resorted to robbing their neighbours. In summary: zoomers, you should shoot people that steal from you.

Patreon request for Fubuki Azuma. I find it heartening, that even in an age where there is unlimited amounts of actual porn available online, shonen publishers still produce "basically porn" content so pre-teens can masturbate. Japan respects tradition.

Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs)
This is self-rationalization. You don't want to stop doordashing every meal so you pretend the only alternative is making a new cuisine from a different continent every night instead of boiling pasta.
Deva Hazarika@devahaz

Some reasons why cooking is overwhelming for many: -To cook each cuisine requires different base set of spices, staples, etc -Popular recipes often include obscure, expensive ingredients -Purchasing exact item amts often not possible -Utilizing rest of perishable food challenging

a funny thought is that writers who are particularly anti-AI can demonstrate their purity, so to speak, by writing about topics that violate safety policies. LLMs won’t help you write stuff that’s extremely sexual, extremely violent, extremely racist, etc. so you need to be pornmaxxing. you need to write the literary equivalent of a snuff film. you need to write defenses of the ku klux klan and instructions for how to make bombs and drugs and biological weapons. if you want to be known as a definitely human writer you have to give up on bourgeois respectability and go apeshit

to be clear i am not against AI-generated writing per se, i am against lying. presenting AI-generated writing as if it were your own is a form of fraud. and/but if i actually think about it this is almost certainly a losing battle. i have at this point read substack posts and twitter articles that 1) i believe were at minimum substantially AI-assisted (the usual GPT tics, and i also had pangram spot-check a few paragraphs), with no disclosure, and 2) were nonetheless interesting and thought-provoking reads, one of which i think will meaningfully alter my relationship to my leisure activities and i expect this sort of thing to massively accelerate. we should expect to see writers experimenting with a lot of different hybrid / cyborg approaches to writing, various kinds of prompting strategies, various points on a spectrum from AI assistance with researching facts to brainstorming to handling nearly all of the writing after being given a detailed prompt, and recent events make it clear we should expect to see some quite popular writers emerge at every point along this spectrum anti-AI propaganda is going to make people reluctant to disclose their AI use for writing but it's not remotely going to actually stop people from using it. at this point i would much rather advocate for some sort of norm around disclosure of AI use in the interest of transparency and sharing best practices, but i don't expect that to happen either. we are all cyborgs now, i guess
