Yan Fan 📍Tokyo

I’ve always wanted to start a company and have it be kid-friendly. @codechrysalis

@yuarecold Not for long! Just on here reading about the whole Joi Ito Epstein drama on Japanese Twitter.

@yanarchy welcome back!

Is anyone I know still on here?

Whoa, there's a fire going on in Roppongi Hills.

Congrats on launching, guys!

Do any women I know do cycle syncing? Looking to chat more about it. Give me a DM if that's you!

Of course, you can find the book on Amazon: amazon.co.jp/-/en/%E3%83%AD…

If you don't speak Japanese, you can still find numerous books (in English), talks, etc. a quick Google away. And give her English account a follow @JapanIntercult

For those who don't know @JICRochelle, she's THE person for Japanese business culture and just wrote her 40th book. This one builds upon her previous work and talks about how Japanese management style needs to change in the face of the country's growing digital transformation.

@mesanjhs I've never had these before. Is it just ice cream in a tube?

All the women on the Olympics podium for skateboard park are of Japanese descent for the first time, with gold winner Arisa Trew of Australia, silver winner Kokona Hiraki of Japan, and bronze medalist Sky Brown of Britain ❤️

Not only Dragons, but they are Wood Dragons and this year is the Wooden Dragon Year. Sixty years is one full circle around the Chinese Zodiac, so this is very, very lucky. Walz is collecting on that Chinese juju he earned back in the day.

@JapanIntercult Giving hope to all English teachers in Asia lol

I was already excited about Walz and hoping Harris would pick him. Then today I found out about his China experience and am even more excited. Will be great to have a VP who has lived in Asia.

HARRIS/WALZ LETS GO

Anyone else obsessively refreshing a news site right now waiting for Kamala's VP pick?

@lescoggi @OpenAI When you use the read function and it reads responses aloud

@yanarchy @OpenAI I thought they disabled voice or this is when it reads something?

ChatGPT has a vaguely gaijin accent in Japanese. Specifically of the white male varietal. It's slight, but it's there. It's pretty funny. Go have it read some Japanese! @OpenAI

@jimbudweisser @OpenAI Yeah ChatGPT has a speak function now. That’s what I was referring to. If you have it speak in Japanese, it sounds vaguely gaijin.

@yanarchy @OpenAI Oh wait audio? I’ve only done text….

@jimbudweisser @OpenAI I was having ChatGPT read something random for me (about taxes actually), noticed the accent, then started having it say the usual Nihongo 101 things to test out the accent and have a laugh.

@yanarchy @OpenAI Hmm I associate 大好き more with women but ymmv. I do find the foreign “excessive use of 私” when reading and often correct it in simple translations I have it do. I also prompt mainly for “biz Japanese” so neither 好き nor 大好き would be appropriate.

@MartinJPJP @Matt_Alt Winner by far

@Matt_Alt Maid in Japan

@jimbudweisser @OpenAI And hubs is a white guy so I’m not the only one who thinks it!

@jimbudweisser @OpenAI Yeah, the way it says 大好き or 好き. Otherwise it’s hard to put a good finger on it but hubs and I both looked at each other and were like “are you hearing a gaijin too” 🤣 there’s something oddly American about the voice and pronunciations
