@nerdictranslator.comI think I might be about ready to start writing my second novel in earnest. I can tell because I've got a title that works.
Each and Every Time, a Tower
Yes, that IS a private joke/reference to like... a couple of things.
@nerdictranslator.comMy wife is listening to an audiobook version of the Apothecary Diaries, and this narrator (probably a TTS voice) keeps pronouncing Maomao as "May-o-may-o."
Me: This whitewashing shit is getting out of control.
@nerdictranslator.com* Or a nice recipe.
@nerdictranslator.com@nerdictranslator.comHalf considering becoming a "Literacy vTuber." Get people to fuckin' read and, if necessary, teach them how.
@nerdictranslator.comSometimes when things get super popular, well, I don't hate on them automatically. That's silly. But I do avoid engaging with them almost reflexively, for a while.
Anyway, I must unfortunately report that both Apothecary Diaries and Frieren are fucking excellent.
@nerdictranslator.comI mean, if it helps, I don't use AI, and wouldn't mind being interviewed. And if that doesn't help, forget I said anything!
@nerdictranslator.com* Only reason I don't use mine is that I upgraded back when I still had steady work.
@nerdictranslator.comAnd if you're on a budget, the Samson Q2U is a highly-rated USB/XLR dynamic mic. I have one in storage somewhere. They're good.

@nerdictranslator.comIt was Oh-Fuck-This Day and the scent of Fuck-All-Y'all was in the air.
There. Perfect opening. Now I just need to come up with a book to go with it.
@nerdictranslator.comReposted by @nerdictranslator.comCan't get over how much Neon Genesis Evangelion is like a Rick and Morty episode.
"D.. Dad? I'm... I'm not so sure about this."
"Ugh, don't be a pussy, Shinji. Get in the Mom-bot! It's your mom. It's a robot. What's complicated about that? Get inside your Mom-bot or everyone dies."
*Burp*

@nerdictranslator.comReposted by @nerdictranslator.comThis company is all about AI, so there's no way in hell it's an actual "clean room" implementation like they claim. Well, it's very unlikely, anyway. Adobe's lawyers must be (heh) shitting bricks and salivating at the same time. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Welcome to the club: bsky.app/profile/nerd...
@nerdictranslator.comYeah, I'm thinking that whether it's a vibe-coded reimplementation, or an actual decompilation project, Adobe's code is in the training data somewhere. I guess I'm joining the Adobe vs. AI war on the side of "let them both burn."

@nerdictranslator.comI'm actually about to record my audition for this. I have absolutely no expectations or hopes. I just want you all to know that, whatever happens, it's @harrowedworld.com's fault.
@demshenaniganss.bsky.socialReposted by @nerdictranslator.comSharing again, since we still need help. Need $200 by Friday for rent, car sorted (thankfully) and we have some bills caught up. We still need to eat and stay housed. Anything helps, CA/Vmo avail too 💙 I hate having to keep asking, but right now we have to rely on kindness

@nerdictranslator.comYou done dodged a bullet. I'm a millennial so I don't exactly expect to retire, ever, but I'm honestly, genuinely happy that at least someone out there doesn't have to deal with this crap.
