So sick and tired of the "tsundoku means the art of buying books you don't read" rubbish. It's a "to-read pile." Japanese people use that word the same way English people do. It's not some mystical ancient Japanese "art" of anything.

Trying to keep words like "nakama" in Japanese, on the other hand, is pure Orientalism.
It is done to exoticize something, and try to pretend it is something different than the very normal and widespread concept the word represents.
It is an attempt to "other" the work.

I talk about this when I teach translation, but the choice to keep a word in its native language must be deliberate--and not simply to exoticize.
You are attempting to introduce a new word into the English language. And by doing so, you are asking the reader to do the work you are being paid for.

We've been calling them 'words.'
But here's the thing: that's not quite tadashii.
A kotoba isn't a word.
They're something else entirely-
a role unique to Japanese gengo.
And there's no eigo no kotoba that surus it seigi.
So from ima on, wareware tsukau the hontou no kotoba: kotoba.

When a company decides to start using A.I in its creative direction, the ones who get hurt the most are inevitably the creators who once worked with them.
Creators end up feeling like components that get discarded once they’ve been used🙄

Please stop using Google's AI overview as your source for ANYTHING. It is GenAI. It is making shit up. Boycott it like you boycott ChatGPT and all other LLMs.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."
