It's both hilarious and fucked up that Amazon might have just killed Prime's chances of becoming a "prestige" anime platform by rushing AI dubs out the door.
They let the pursuit of more money jeopardize the money they were making, which is applicable to all of AI/the modern tech sector.

You can still be an anime fan and not have to be watching something at all times.
There's so much pressure to have to be always keeping up and always grinding through the backlog.
It's fine to take a break.
Might be a cold take but a good reminder.

Let’s Talk (More) About Amazon Prime Video
You heard the news--Amazon Prime Video released several anime with AI-generated "Dubs". Naturally, this has the community up in arms. How does this affect the community, and what can fans do to fight back?

In sociology, a recurring methodological problem encountered by those trying to study the very rich is that their domains of existence are so far removed from the experiences of ordinary people that the researchers, before they even start, have to fundamentally reshape their social ontologies
When we talk about "taxing rich people" there's folks who think we're talking about Aunt Edna who has the second summer home. The astronomical levels of "rich" that now exist are almost unfathomable to people. It's the stuff of vast empirical dynasties. We're talking about taxing emperors.
The ultra-wealthy will often take whole fleets of cars with them when they travel, loading vehicles, along with motorbikes and other toys, onto chartered cargo aircraft that follow their private jets.

'Evil' implies intent. It has no intent. It has no thought. Its a fucking shit autocorrect. Clippy was smarter.

being canceled is not a real thing, it is a neologism describing the stigma that should come from bad behavior. the only consequences that come from it are the ones we collectively imposed, and as the last decade has shown, no one with institutional power is interested in that.

Paul McCartney's "Wonderful

practicing witchcraft but then
someone walks in and they have to
suddenly play it cool

The moon is right
The spirits up
We're here tonight
And that's enough

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.
Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

It’s incredibly funny people flipped out about a guy running the most standard ass municipal government policy playbook imaginable.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
