I like languages. This is my account to access West Lemmy.

I did not mean f###ot in a bad way I just mean you gay people have a lot of drama.
Makes me think of The Boondocks: “[It’s] n###a technology — technology for n###as. Only don’t start trippin’ and shit, callin’ me a racist, 'cause I don’t mean n###a in a disrespectful way — I mean it as a general term for ignorant motherfucker.”
Liftoff is incompatible with the latest version of Lemmy
Fun fact: the opposite of estrogenize is in fact to androgenize. No relation to androgynize with a Y, they’re just one letter apart and for many speakers 100% homophonic, but they’re very different in meaning, if we’re talking about men’s sex hormone intake.
I should’ve gone into detail, but I’m just not in the mood to argue sometimes. I’ll get back to you if I do.
That’s the Republican strategy when they’re in the minority and the legislation in question is stuff that actually helps people. Real POSIWID hours
This is very superficial.
Honestly sometimes I think every country should have its own Sinn Féin of sorts. Just a party that never takes its seats. Yeah, try calling it the “same thing” when you can’t pass any legislation or form coalitions or get anything done because a third of the seats in the national legislature are literally left empty on purpose. Don’t like it? Well, it’s your problem that your party is literally less electable than No Representation!

The same thing we do every night, Pinky.
Hogwarts Legacy? Wasn’t that the game with, like, the plot that was suspiciously similar to blood libel, especially considering how similar goblins are to certain stereotypes and caricatures to begin with? The game where early access players found a horn that looked suspiciously similar to a shofar being described as some sort of annoying goblin instrument? The game where, even setting Rowling aside, several of the staff behind it had some very gross political views? The one where they named the one transfem character “Sirona Ryan” and had her voiced by a cis woman with her voice pitched-down in post to sound more masculine?
I mean, I never played Hogwarts Legacy, so that could all be wrong, but that is nevertheless what I remember people talking about… People have a right to play games even if they have problematic content, sure, but I also have a right to hear “yeah I just had to play the Blood Libel Game because it’s just so nostalgic” and think “wtf”
LLM/AI tools can massively decrease the cost of dubbing media into smaller languages, including the cost of creating audio descriptions for the visually impaired. I don’t know the extent to which these uses are actually being implemented at the moment, but yeah. It’s by all means possible, and in my eyes pretty cool. These uses would not replace real people, would not require unethical practices, but would still reduce the workload.
I’m kind of disappointed by the ways in which AI is being presented as a “terk er jerbs” thing in fields where it has no rightful place, the ways in which AI is presented as a “procedurally generated Netflix and chill with my robot girlfriend” hyperreal horrorshow, the ways in which AI is being used for scams. AI absolutely has its places in society, and helping with accessibility and localization is one of them.
Edit: Yes, and also writing closed captions, and arguably even using deepfakes to “dub” shows and movies into sign languages could be potential uses.
There’s also how chatbots can be used as language study buddies for those without the ability to talk to actual native speakers, although I haven’t had much success with this, personally.
The jokester in me wants to say TARDIS → TARDES by analogy of penis → penes but the fact of the matter is that Time and Relative Dimensions in Space doesn’t really pluralize even when it isn’t abbreviated
This is basically just Skwerl but for “young people who are good with computers” slang
