    You think it’s OK because it spits out grammatically correct language on your end, but if you spoke both languages you’d get how it fails. Look at translations of Korean comics if you’d like to see how badly mechanical translation is when it’s a connected story across multiple chapters, I was reading a comic where a character said he liked the elegant and sophisticated sound of calling a lightning strike skill ‘‘bolt’’ instead of whatever he was calling it ‘‘lighting strike’’ I think. It took me a while to realize what or whoever translated it didn’t know how to look at the context of the translation and find a English word that English speakers would find at least old fashioned if not archaic and of course longer or more poetic sounding. It’s like the whole thing when JRPGs can’t figure out if they should localize names by just spelling out the phonetic sounds in Roman letters or actually translating the meaning of the name, or a thing no one’s ever done and find a name in a European language family that has the same meaning.

    Just like the AI art, it’s not replacing good translation, it’s replacing hack job translations, it’s replacing mediocre and predictable art. I really don’t care if someone uses AI in the pre-production or some post production functions, just not the part you need a human for, the actual creativity, there’s an adage in 3D animation ‘‘it you let the computer do it, it’s gonna suck.’’ You can let the computer do inbetweens, but you better be giving it nothing near a key frame. It has to really be the very least important frames.

    Oh man is translation not possible with AI. You have no idea how little languages have in common. A lot of terms don’t mean a thing, but combine concepts you don’t have or associate to point at a thing.

    My dad said, about learning a new language, ‘‘cat means cat, not gato, don’t translate’’ and I think that holds up pretty well from my experience.












  • A lot of people don’t get how to parse statistical data, 67% of all votes isn’t out of 100% of people is out of voter turn out, voter turn out isn’t a % if all people is a % of registered voters, registered voters is out of eligible voters. So take 100% of the pop, minus those that can’t legally vote, minus unregistered voters, minus registered who didn’t vote, Then 67% of that number, which is going to be no where near 67% of the population at all.

    So they apparently had 53% turn out of 2.4 million register voters, which is 1.27 million, out of a state population total of 4 million, which is 31% of the total pop. So 850,900 people voted for Trump a whopping 21.27% of the states total pop.

    So not ALL by any stretch, and they had the worst registered voter turn out in the nation according to the reporting I’m seeing.

    Also for no reason 18% of registered voters is 432,000 people, 10.57% of total pop, that’s the number of people you’d have to swing to have flipped the state



  • Fun fact, there are more domesticated horses now then there were at the hight of horses being used as transportation. I found this out when a reporter asked Jay Leno, an avid classic car collector, if he was upset about the CA law that makes only EVs legal to sell as new cars in CA by a certain date. He said he totally approved of the measure, and that there was nothing to worry about for classic car collectors, and citing horse ownership rates.
