Piracy and anime are joined at the hip. Even in the 90s before we had streaming, you could walk into any Japanese toy store in New York and guess what you would find? Rows and rows of bootleg anime DVDs. At half the price (or lower) you'd pay and with titles not released in the US. There are so many pirate sites now I hadn't even heard of the ones in this article.

So after 30+ years of fighting this losing battle why do they think they will win it now?

The easiest way to stop him is to walk up to him and whisper into his ear "end computer similation" and he will just disappear.

It's not for you. Its for corporations who want to fire half their staff and replace them with an algorithm. That's why it has such a high valuation.

Ah yes, the sequel to "Are Those Rain Clouds?" Thought provoking films.

Fun fact, Gavin Nelson is actually a living AI. He doesn't always get the answer right but he does always have words that sound like a plausible answer. He also creates artwork in his mind.

The hits from Limp Biscuit stopped coming and the world fell into an ethical depression.

What does OpenAI need a CEO for anyway? Just let chatGPT run the company if they are so gung-ho about it.

I've been watching a japanese sword master on YT demonstrating moves. It's very interesting how they decide when they pull it out which side of the curve they lead with, a choice they make in a split second, and the different attacks each method would have. Even European swords weren't just sharp hammers, they had practical moves and defenses lost in the movies.

People are getting older or in poor health and they can't see when they're driving at night. It's terrifying how many people should probably stop driving once the sun goes down

Thanks to YouTube I am now a Zoroastrian. That algorithm just knows me

Everything is happening in Frankfurt this weekend. The tram driver Olympics is going on as well. You get to watch them run trains into balls!
