[awkward-teabag]

I have to wonder how many people celebrating AI translation also complain about "broken English" and how obvious it is something was Google translated from another language without a fluent English speaker involved to properly clean up the translation/grammar.

Because I bet it's a lot.

I know why execs are all for it—AI is the new buzzword and it lets them cut jobs thus "save" money and not have to worry about pesky labour laws when one employs humans—but everyone else?

There was some outcry when Crunchyroll fired many of their translators in favour of AI translation (with some people to "clean up the AI's work") but I can't help but think that was in part because it was Japanese-to-English and personally affected them. Same when Duolingo fired many of their translators in favour of LLM translation. Meanwhile companies are firing staff when it's English to another language and there's this idea that that's fine or not as big a deal because English is "easy" to translate and/or because people don't think of how it will impact people in non-English countries.

Also it doesn't affect native English speakers so it doesn't get much headway in the news cycle or online anyway because so much of the dominant media is from English-speaking countries and English-speakers dominate social media.

But different languages have different grammar structures that LLMs don't do, and I grew up on "jokes" about people speaking in "broken English" and mocking people who use the wrong word when it was clearly a literal translation but the meaning was obvious long before LLMs were a thing, too. In fact, the specific way a character spoke broken English has been a way to denote their native tongue for decades, usually in a racist way.

Then Google translate came out and "Google-translated English" became an insult for people and criticism of companies because it was clearly wonky to native speakers. Even now, LLMs—which are heavily trained on English compared to other languages—don't have a natural output so native English speakers can clock LLM-generated text if it's longer than a sentence or two.

But, for whatever reason, it's not seen as a problem when it goes the other way because fuck non-English readers or people who want to read in their native tongue I guess.

#and it's not like no people were doing translations so wonky translations were better than nothing #it's actual translators being fired for a subpar replacement #and anyone who keeps their job suddenly being responsible for cleaning up llm output rather than what they trained in #(which can take just as much time or longer than doing the translation by hand from scratch) #(if you want it done right anyway) #hell to this day i hear people complain about written translations of indigenous words and how they 'aren't english enough' #even though they're using the ipa and use a system white english people came up with in the first place #and you can easily look up the proper pronunciation and hear it spoken #but there's such a double-standard where it's expected that other languages cater to english/english speakers #but that grace and accommodation doesn't go the other way #and it's the failing of non-english speakers when an english translation is broken #you see it whenever monolingual english speakers travel to other countries and utterly refuse to learn the language #but if someone doesn't speak in unaccented (to them) english fluently in their home country the person 'isn't trying hard enough' #this is just the new version of that where non-english speakers are supposed to do more work and put up with subpar translations #even as a native english speaker/writer i get a (much) lesser version of this because i write with canadian spelling #and some people get pissed if their internet experience is disrupted by 'ou' instead of 'o' or '-re' instead of '-er' #because dialects and regional phrasing/spelling is a thing #human translators can (or should) be able to account for it but llms are not smart enough to do so #and that's not even getting into slang and how llms don't account for it #or how llms can put slurs into translations because it doesn't do nuance or context and doesn't know the language #if you ever complained about buying something from another country that came with machine-translated instructions #you should be pissed at companies cutting english-to-[language] staff in favour of glorified google translate #because the companies are effectively saying they're fine with non-native speakers getting a wonky/broken version

I grew up in Durham, NC both feeding the birds and the feral cats (there was a colony of 60+ in my neighborhood, and 20+ behind the local library a few streets away). This may seem like a good thing upfront, but it looks like there will be less birdsong :(

Travelling Luffy modern AU:

A modern AU where when Luffy met Shanks as a kid he and his mates were living in a van travelling the country probably as some form of criminal but no one in the sleepy village of Foosha knew him. And it inspired Luffy to travel when he grew up. So after high school Luffy picks up random jobs saving money for himself and others to travel going on these grand trips over seas and when he gets back squats at a new friends place and finds a new shitty job to save money and does it all again. He tries to get all his friends to travel with him though it doesn’t always work out so it’s usually two or three of them.

And even in completely different countries Luffy just has a way of befriending the locals finding the best restaurants and activities and even making genuine friends who he is still pen pals with years later. So many times the craziest things have happened to him but Luffy never takes photos on his journey so Nami and the other Strawhats had made it their mission to document every bullshit lucky occasion because no one will believe him otherwise.

His car broke down? Yeah turns out the mayor of the city found them and helped them out. Now they regularly share animal pics. The random old man he befriended in a big city? Yeah turns out he’s actually one of shank’s dads and a criminal and while though retired is still conning a casino for their money and running from the government. The tall rando he fought at a restaurant before both of them decided to just eat and chill? Turns out his mother is one of the biggest gang leaders in the country and he is her right hand man.

Ace also travels but never as frequently as Luffy does now. He’s seen the big places and heard plenty of stories from his friends (the white beards) but is pretty happy in the city. So it’s always a pleasant surprise when the random stranger Luffy befriended happens to know is big brother.

It’s even funnier if you imagine that’s how Luffy meets the grandline strawhats. Like Robin was an exchange student staying overseas, he befriended and greeted her when she returned home. Chopper was graduating high school in a sleepy snow town and because of Luffy decided to head to the university local to him to become a doctor. Franky was actually a professional mechanic and after talking and a lot of pushing decided to make a better name for himself in Luffy’s town for a fresh start. Brook was an old professional singer who was stuck over seas they randomly found and decided to help out, renewing his passport finding his birth certificate ect. He now performs at bars and is working on a solo career. Jimbe was travelling for his own kind of work though after a few encounters with Ace and then Luffy, he found himself so charmed and in need to settle a little, chose to become a teacher at the local university.

The one time Luffy flew by himself because none of his friends could make time he ended up having to stay over seas for two years due to issues with his visa. By some fucking miracle Rayleigh was there and ended up looking after the kid helping him with his piss poor education, inability to hold a stable job and his own house. Luffy came home to the biggest party ever and while most of his friends graduated he started taking online courses while travelling got a share apartment with Zoro and started really cleaning up his resume and not quitting his fucking job every time he traveled.

Luffy just has the travel bug and a need for adventure and has taken all of the east blue gang with him multiple times on these adventures. Something always goes wrong but works out in the best ways.

#one piece #one piece au #one piece modern au #modern au #monkey d. luffy #straw hat pirates #whenever I think of modern AU Luffy I can never imagine him having a normal job #like he’s gotta be sometime of internet star or something #a job where he can do whatever he wants when he wants #though I also live the idea he still travels #the east blue gang had a van they called Merry and went of roadtrips on break #this became flights when they grew up #maybes thousand sunny is an airline? #or the new van Franky guilt them when their old one broke down #modern AU’s like this are genuinely so fun #give me luffy in all the dumb tourist shit #rambles #if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes suck my digital dick

Howdy! This is Dynjir (mod) speaking!

First of all, a giant thank you to everyone who follows and keeps up with this blog! This is my first time ever making a blog like this and so far it's been so much fun!! I've been drawing CoN stuff for nearly 4 months straight now (which is still pretty nuts to me), but now, I'm afraid I'm reaching a limit!

Not only has my physical health not been great lately, there's some projects related to my career that I want to focus on, and I need to take some things off my plate until they're done.

Announcing a break like this will also help me mentally so that I don't feel a never-ending pressure to keep updating all the time. Even if the blog's just for fun, I am very task driven, and despite having enough content queued up for weeks on advance, I'll still feel like I have to constantly make/find more content to post. If I don't do this, I'll feel like I'm always on a timer that only ticks down @-@;;

So things will be quiet around here for a bit bc I won't be queueing anything either during the break (for the reason stated above). I also won't be giving out a time on when I'll be coming back, but hopefully, it won't be for too long (bc I still have ideas I wanna draw out)!

Thanks for keeping up with this blog! Until the next update, cya and take care!

#dyntalks #consider this the first of potentially many dry spells :'0!! #also I might be starting a new job soon? #don't wanna jinx myself tho fingers crossed!! #if I get it tho I will DEF be busy bc uhh #I high-key feel the job's going to be hard... #also feel free to ask questions despite the hiatus! #I may not answer them immediately but they'll start getting answered when I come back :]

I love to look at all the completely wild shit monks are able to do in the higher levels because it just highlights the contrast between general depictions of monks and one Beauregard Lionett. She no longer requires food and water. And?? That’s just inviting an eternal mode of hangry. She also can’t be poisoned, so when Yasha neglects to take the venom sacs out of the fresh spider she whipped up it’s all fine.

Beau can astrally project basically at will since she just has to meditate to get her ki points back. For an HOUR she can put her essence pretty much anywhere on any plane once she figures out the pools. But it’ll take a while for her to give a shit about another plane because we all know she is going to be preoccupied first and foremost with hauling her ass straight to Yasha whenever she gets bored of paperwork. Or catching a breather on Fjord’s ship, or spoiling Luc, or any number things that matter to her. That astral body is solid, by the way. It takes damage, it feels...make of that what you will.

(I would pay money to see the first time she figures out she can astral project. like please imagine Beau daydreaming so hard about being with Yasha during a boring stretch of work downtime that she’s just suddenly there. Comedy fucking gold.)

Because all of this is what makes her Beau now, the way she's grown into a prioritization of herself, and there’s nothing about the path she walks as a monk that asks her to detract from that discovery. Being a monk aids her in this journey, which is incredible given the way monks tend to be viewed - above the need for earthly pleasures, higher self, all of that. And she is perfectly willing to embody that role in the name of the people she loves and the organization she serves, but at the end of the day Beau is someone who has learned mastery over herself and that explicitly requires knowing what keeps her balanced and at her best. And for her that specifically includes the purposeful indulgence in the pleasures this life has to offer. She’s spent too long without it not to know exactly how important those earthly tethers are. Good food, good friends, unfettered and free in every sense.

Caduceus once said there's a lot of free will involved in destiny. It turns out that there's also a lot of freedom in walking a dedicated path. Choice is everything to Beau. How perfect that working on herself is what opens up those choices and her world by extension.

#i know that projection in the material plane is imprecise but it's Beau #the spell states you CAN bring all your stuff with you and teleport to a new spot on teh material plane #it does not say you have to #but hey have we considered that beau at level 18 comes with her own basically infinite teleport #who's gonna ever imprison her? literally nobody #you managed to get chains on her good job she's deffo in the feywild by now fuck you #god I love her #and I love the power she unlocks to truly live without limits #beauregard lionett #cr c2 #i am extrapolating that the astral body feels because the spell says any effects you receive in your astral form fade when you return #and given that most effects have a physical component.... #if that's not how it works yes it is #that's my whole philosophy

having brainrot about something is so embarrassing because every time i get even a little tipsy i have to constantly think about not talking about it

#had a few drinks with a friend to celebrate her new job #and had to think about not talking about the weirwood and sept nedcat thing #she has watched got. she’s aware of that i love asoiaf. but that’s all she needs to know #she does not need to know i get emotional about ned not having a heart tree and later on building a sept for cat #anyway cheers i hope autocorrect got me on this one because spelling is hard and drinks are good

hiii! I hope ur having a good daaayy I just wanted to ask u if u have plans for future pjo botssssss? any scenarios you've got in mind?

-salt girl

hello! i did, hope you did too!! and you're opening a can of worms here babes, sour jelly worms cause these worms aren't dirty worms. anyways, yes, yes i do.

i want to make a lot of bots with the actual gods and goddesses themselves. {{user}} meeting her godly parent, being a hunter of artemis, things of that sort. but also like being mars' badass former orphan sidekick who's also close friends w his babymama (venus,) the lore runs deep.

i also want to send the characters on more quests, quests galore.

my problem, however, is how specific {{user}} gets. powers, special items, history, godly parent. like, there's no way i can incorporate all that even w the new character cap, it's still too much.

it's also a LOT of work. coding pjo bots, by far, has been the most taxing fandom aside from avatar. there's so much potential here, but i feel like i can't do it much justice, yk? i don't have the time or capacity currently and i'm kinda bummed out by that.

i want to do more w new rome, spqr. problem is, no one's from there. we know very little about how it works, over all, i need to conjure up most of the stuff in my brain. i have no problem w it, i just don't have enough time.

i'm working on an old idea, taking up a lot of my time, but it'll be an event. currently going to be exclusive to percy jackson, harry potter, and across the spiderverse or call of duty (yet to decide.)

#౨ৎ⋆ anne’s annotations ˚｡⋆ #sneak peek #im so excited for the even #*event #i cant even spell #man if this could be a job #that'd be so coll #COOL #good news though #just got boba #i don't know if this even answers your question 😭
