LLM/AI tools can massively decrease the cost of dubbing media into smaller languages, including the cost of creating audio descriptions for the visually impaired. I don’t know the extent to which these uses are actually being implemented at the moment, but yeah. It’s by all means possible, and in my eyes pretty cool. These uses would not replace real people, would not require unethical practices, but would still reduce the workload.

I’m kind of disappointed by the ways in which AI is being presented as a “terk er jerbs” thing in fields where it has no rightful place, the ways in which AI is presented as a “procedurally generated Netflix and chill with my robot girlfriend” hyperreal horrorshow, the ways in which AI is being used for scams. AI absolutely has its places in society, and helping with accessibility and localization is one of them.

Edit: Yes, and also writing closed captions, and arguably even using deepfakes to “dub” shows and movies into sign languages could be potential uses.

There’s also how chatbots can be used as language study buddies for those without the ability to talk to actual native speakers, although I haven’t had much success with this, personally.

Of all the industries to profit from bored ape NFTs, I was not expecting white cane manufacturing to be one of them.

I’m saving this one, hell yeah, I love it. That chud was absolutely obsessed with Joe Rogan, acting like that guy was the new messiah, all while he went on and on about “the corrupting influence of media from America”. It drove me up the wall…

Some chud I used to see regularly: “Blackrock is funding WOKE in the movies in order to change pubic opinion!!!”

Meanwhile, actual conservative billionaires:

Honestly, if Twitter suddenly cracking down on T&A ends up causing another X-odus to the fediverse, then it is mildly amusing that the “masto” in “Mastodon” is literally from the Ancient Greek word for “boobs”.

That’s an insult to dollar stores

I guess I was thinking that if Gwyneth Paltrow could found a company called Goop that anything goes these days.

Curse English idioms, I literally thought they were rebranding to Mud.

I hope basically everyone goes on strike. The workers don’t even need to have any grievances, I just think it would be cool.

I’m using Alexandrite and see no thumbnail.

I genuinely appreciate how you put scare quotes on “becomes” in “becomes political”, because it’s legitimately baffling how some people think that Rage Against the Machine “wasn’t political” before. Like, they literally donated their profits to the Zapatista Army of National Liberation and interviewed Subcomandante Marcos for one of their video releases! You can hardly get more political!

RDJ_pointing_at_self: What counts as politics is a political question in itself, with a subjective answer melded by the hegemon. Absolutely everything can be connected to politics in some way.

Isn’t that the plot of Evangelion?
