I saw an ad for a local gin festival generated with veo3 and now I’ve sworn off gin

Doesn't really narrow it down, sorry

(jk I don't have beef with the JavaRE)

He was right wing, after all, not to mention a cultist. His heart didn’t have the capacity for such a compassionate solution, and that’s before it was collapsed by that homemade hand-cannon.

Without going into too much detail (because I am not well read on this and am likely to be wrong about a lot of it), one of the many issues that Abe addressed during his leadership was Japan's declining birthrate. There's a bit of a conspiracy amongst many people who consume Japanese popular culture (at a deep-ish level) that Abe pushed pronatalist themes in pop culture, as well as tropes like NEETs/hikikomori escaping their isolation from society and entering romantic relationships. This has become a huge meme, where any time a romantic development happens in a manga or anime, many people are quick to say things along the lines of "Abe would be proud".

E: From the knowyourmeme page on Abe:

Japan has seen a declining birthrate and population in recent years, which has been blamed on young people in Japan being uninterested in having sex. However, due to sexual content in many anime, including shows like Darling in the Franxx whose plots seem to encourage procreation, people have joked that Abe is using anime to encourage Japanese young people to have sex and start families. These are particularly popular on Tumblr. For example, Tumblr user justintaco posted a photoshopped image of Abe superimposed on a screenshot of Darling in the Franxx, gaining over 36,000 notes (shown below, left). User freyjaofthenorth made a similar post about the anime Conception, gaining over 2,900 notes (shown below, right). There is also a mock Tumblr for Shinzo Abe devoted to this joke.

Fingers crossed that the next domino is “nuclear holocaust due to particularly bad day on social media”

This author seems to write what is fairly typical escapism porn LNs. According to this summary the plot is about as stupid and problematic as you might expect for such a thing. If the Alya-san anime goes well this will probably get at least a manga.

All this is just adding up to: hack author is formulaically chasing trends and trying to parlay some genAIed trash into a manga and maybe an anime.

I rewrote it for accuracy:

There's something of a paradox that has defined my experience with artificial intelligence in this particular moment. It's clear we're witnessing the advent of a wilfully stupid fart machine, one that could transform the atmosphere into farts and the way we think about farts and creating farts and the value of human farts itself. At the same time, I can't for the life of me figure out why I'd want to sit in a room filled with my own farts.

So I wanted to understand what I'm missing and get some tips for how I could incorporate farts better into my life right now. And Eating Mollusks is the perfect guide: He's a pro-fartor at the Fartin' School at the University of Farts

From the comments:

Sounds like the problem is that they’re doing the exact opposite of sanitizing inputs. Have the developers learned nothing from the tragic story of Little Bobby Tables? Instead of rejecting noise they’re doing everything they can to not only recognize its presence, but actually parsing it for commands.

There’s a few things to sneer at here.

  • First up, sanitizing inputs? My guy, LLMco aint got time for that. The LLM is hungry and we can’t steal data fast enough, let alone check inputs.
  • Ah yes “rejecting noise”, that thing that something with real ultimate cognition would do.

We missed the target of Artificial Intelligence, but we’ve hit the bullseye of Artificial Pareidolia.

Hey, you got this part right!

This circuitous, n-tuple negative tenor pervades the whole piece. It's first and foremost frustrating, but after that just sad.

true, just, something you don’t “necessarrily agree with” is a weird hill to die on

Absolutely. TLJ vs ROSk is a microcosm of this.

TLJ: “Forget the Jedi texts. What’s important is the present. Also, you aren’t from one of the magic families Lucas made up in the 70’s, but you don’t have to be someone special to be significant.”

ROSk: “Oh sorry we offended you last time because we dared to deviate from your nostalgia. Alright. So now it’s really important that everything is Skywalker or Palpatine related. We even put “Skywalker” in the title! And made a Palpatine cloning machine! Phew, ok. Now that we’ve placated you, here’s 5000 new funko-pop ready characters.”
