the bros and i were playing our favorite game "say something beautiful" and it was going great until chadney accidentally described the face of god in perfect glorious detail and all of us were killed by exposure to holy radiance in our brains as we imagined it

"Instead of hiring multiple Māori reporters and translators, we made an AI that poorly translates Māori and hired one reporter to check all of those stories who openly admits that there's gonna be translation fuckups. Here he is to explain why his job is a really great idea in a VERY unbiased article."

Also imo the translations are just clumsy. Someone actually writing in Māori would make these far more concise and to the point, and imo the AI tool falls into far too many common "whakaaro Pakeha" mistakes of literal translation.

I'm also interested in seeing what their AI is trained on, and if they're paying those sources. Many internet sources are not good examples of journalistic Māori if their Māori is correct at all.

Just hire goddamn speakers. It's not that hard. Stuff Articles are mostly fluff pieces anyway, it's not like they would take hours each to translate.

Update- looks like they fired 3 of their ~5 Pou Tiaki Māori editorial roles november last year, after reducing the group from 10, and returned two other Pou Tiaki to their original positions. Yeah. This is a move 100 percent designed to save money and drop Māori voices.

when you haven't written for a while and you're intimidated by the project Looming in front of you, you feel like those baby otters that are learning how to swim at the zoo, crying and screaming the whole time despite being perfectly adapted to doing this activity,

my dreams, my works, must wait till after hell

by Gwendolyn Brooks

I hold my honey and I store my bread  In little jars and cabinets of my will.  I label clearly, and each latch and lid  I bid, Be firm till I return from hell.  I am very hungry. I am incomplete. And none can tell when I may dine again.  No man can give me any word but Wait,  The puny light. I keep eyes pointed in;  Hoping that, when the devil days of my hurt  Drag out to their last dregs and I resume  On such legs as are left me, in such heart  As I can manage, remember to go home, My taste will not have turned insensitive  To honey and bread old purity could love.

it rules to be a transgender writer because writing trans themes is easy as fuck. it's easy as fuck dude. trans themes basically write themselves. change is the fundamental motor of storytelling. guess what else is all about change bitch

Y'know, I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen Jack Chains more in fantasy tbh, like it's a really interesting and low budget armor style, I'm legit surprised I've almost never seen it in media

#oh like jackplate! #v nice

You can always tell when an author is trying to "deconstruct" something that they think is stupid or boring or otherwise beneath them because they're unwilling or unable to develop the necessary understanding of the source material to properly rip into it and the end result invariably fucking sucks. You need to love a genre in order to truly do it violence.

I don’t think I have the chops for D&D or other tabletop RPGs but I could make a good DM’s assistant. I don’t play the game but I sit and listen and then after the session the DM can ask me for ideas.
