I have a clear, specific stance (generally pro-AI, with nuance) and I don’t engage with common fallacies. You’re unlikely to persuade me, and I’m not here to change your mind either. Disagreement is fine; bad-faith or malicious engagement isn’t welcome.

    I believe some places here in Washington are already using this type of solution. As someone with a relatively strong accent, to the point that it often confuses those cheap automa…

    > In general they also don't seem to collaborate much with vtubers outside of their space, so I'm sure there are some rules in play there. I think it's more about market dynamics t…

    I'm a Vtuber myself. I'm an indie, self supported, just for fun type rather than someone trying to make a living from it. If you're genuinely interested in becoming a Vtuber, the b…

    The way I've come to think about Blender, and to some extent other tools in the same space, is that being a master of the tool as an operator and having the artistic ability to cre…

    I'm feeling the same way. People naturally pick up writing habits from what they read, especially if they haven't really developed their own style yet. So it seems only natural tha…

    Of course, they can't realistically police every use of AI any more than they can police someone using Grammarly or similar tools. I think the core of the argument is really about …

    While things like the expectation of lifetime employment (or at least very long tenure) may sound appealing, it also creates a job market with very low fluidity. In practice, if yo…

    I'd argue there's really no way to make OpenClaw truly safe, no matter what you do. The only place it really makes sense is within trusted environments, like B2B coordination or ti…

    The article does a good job calling out the more serious offenses, although I’d personally argue that nigiribashi is just as bad as the other two. Most Japanese people would probab…

    Not only have there been those cancellations, but they’ve also been cutting back features in a lot of areas, especially in the Pro tier, and doing it pretty drastically without any…

    I think the only practical litmus test here is whether you can stand by the text as your own words. It’s not like we have someone looking over commenters’ shoulders as they type. U…

    I guess this kind of rule feels less pragmatic and more philosophical. For one thing, it’s nearly impossible to enforce in practice, and drawing a clear line between simple grammat…

    Just my take: I don’t think “AI” automatically equals “slop.” There’s plenty of human-made slop too, and some AI-assisted content is genuinely useful. I’d rather see this framed as…

    I think this really needs to be framed as a "report low-quality content" feature, not a "report AI slop" feature. Otherwise, it just incentivizes people to hide their process, and …

    I think part of it is that, in the US (and probably in many other countries too), the roles of maker and consumer tend to be more clearly separated. In contrast, among Japanese use…

    I provide full livecast coverage by visiting every booth at Vket, which takes place in VRChat twice a year, and over time I’ve noticed some clear patterns. In Japan, the market for…

    I think the real litmus test should be whether the comment adds anything substantive to the conversation. If someone is outsourcing their ideas to AI, that’s a different situation …

    A typical font contains around 7,000 characters. In everyday use, you rarely touch all of them—most situations stay comfortably within the realm of jōyō kanji. However, there are m…
