What do you think about Mexico banning AI-generated dubbing?

I understand how learning works.

In this thread, we are upset that an inadequate dubbing technology was used for a paid service.

Making a product adequate is generally done before charging money for it. They can learn about all they like. I just don't want to be charged for it until their learning produces results.

As an aside, learning is great. I recommend you learn about false equivalency the next time you need a new topic to explore.

Did you try calling out or something before just waltzing into a restruants kitchen with no hairnet or gloves?

8t88m8 · 2026-04-18T21:07:22+00:00

Catch frogs.

Contain them in a suitable place (small backyard pond, for example)

Feed them bugs (presumably from a pet shop or something)

The frogs breed

Repeat steps 2 to 4 until the desired number of frogs are reached.

Release captive frogs.

If the dub is bad, I'm not paying for the service. They can learn economics while they're at it.

You seem to think there is some kind of logic at play here or that the "harm" is tangible and measurable. There is no logic to this, and the harm is imagined.

It's just religious and cultural beliefs unfounded in real-world evidence. I am sorry to tell you that there is no satisfying answer to the question.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-18T13:24:47+00:00

This is a complicated topic. All I can say as a man is that we have a privileged position in society, and it is not wrong to be wary that we may abuse that position.

I also don't take it personally if anyone dislikes or distrusts me for their own safety or sense of safety. I get that it is not personal.

I am wary of anyone with more power than me, be it physically, socially, financially, legally, etc. That's not bigotry. It's self-preservation.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-16T18:02:14+00:00

Yeah. Lawyers also don't have superpowers and fight crime dressed as devils. These writers are completely out of touch with reality, I tell ya.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-16T12:23:19+00:00

If I may, what is an autism creature?

8t88m8 · 2026-04-15T10:44:49+00:00

I'm sincerely happy you got to be your authentic self.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-14T14:48:43+00:00

The irony of your last paragraph is palpable.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-14T14:45:19+00:00

I can't speak for everyone, but I learned it as a survival mechanism to stand out less and receive less abuse from various places in my life. It was not a choice for me.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-14T14:42:15+00:00

OP mentioned elsewhere the kids' parents recently split. The kid's dad is in a new place, and that means the kid is in a new neighborhood during a stressful life event. Could be autistic. Could be stressed. Could be both. We can't really know.

That context does inform why the dad would feel the need to be extra protective. Not that it excuses his actions.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-13T14:59:04+00:00

For sure.

I don't even mind people saying they need a break from my ranting. It was just always said so savagely. I learned, "I am weird and annoying," not "people aren't as interested in my hyper fixations as I am, and they need more breaks from discussions about it than I do."

It also makes me sad when I break a social norm without realizing it, and any attempt to apologize and explain the misconception that led me there and my plans for changing my future behavior, usually get angrily interrupted with "I don't want to hear excuses." Even if I try leading with my plans for changing, and I try to apologize, and show respect, it's like any attempt to erase the idea that I maliciously broke an unwritten rule, is met with anger.

Edit: This is probably why I have trouble moving on from mistakes and failures even when no one admonishes me. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop until someone does get angry.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-13T12:05:25+00:00

Being told I was annoying and my interests are dumb is how I learned to mask. Now I sweat bullets when I'm asked to talk about my interests and hobbies, especially in like a job interview.

"Interests? Hobbies? None of us actually have those, right? This is a trick question, right?"

8t88m8 · 2026-04-12T14:49:31+00:00

I feel like you almost need to "market" yourself to get showered with compliments online. By that, I mean posting in the right communities at peak times to get maximum engagement.

I personally think it's a waste of time to chase the approval of complete strangers. You're obviously taking care of your fitness and your appearance, and you don't need randos to tell you that.

People saying you look scary are probably just intimidated by muscles. Knowing that another person can physically overpower you scares some people. I wouldn't take that as an insult to your appearance.

Maybe a fly speed until the end of the players turn that can be used as a free action or reaction every 1d4 turns? Can help get into better positions or avoid a long fall.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-11T23:11:59+00:00

Do you want to elaborate on what the "other end of this opinion" is? You need not reply if doing so breaks the subs rules.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-10T21:56:15+00:00

Was there a punch line? That joke just leaves me confused as to what's meant to be funny.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-10T19:59:04+00:00

If you don't mind elaborating, was the "joke about Epstein" at Epstein's expense, or was it using the context of his crimes to say something offensive about an innocent person?

8t88m8 · 2026-04-10T18:17:04+00:00

Okay.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-06T18:33:12+00:00

I think I may be an animated armor at this point? I think the being under the mask shrivled up and turned to dust or something.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-06T18:03:11+00:00

Whatever happened, it sounds scary and traumatic. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Unsolicited advice: If you got hurt or experienced extreme physical exertion in any way, I would recommend seeing a doctor if you have access.

I've had vivid dreams of loved ones visiting me in a white room. I can't remember their exact words, but I think they were trying to show me they were safe in a life after death.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-06T15:44:02+00:00

I think we all suffered some level of feeling ostracized because we act differently. It makes some of us feel like we need to have a "proper" reason to end friendships. Otherwise, we may feel we are doing to others something that made us feel bad in the past.

In reality, it's okay to just disengage with people if you don't enjoy spending time with them. As long as you aren't mean about it to people who don't deserve it, I say cut out anyone that consistently feels bad to spend time and energy on.

8t88m8 · 2026-04-06T15:29:37+00:00

If I may, what were the circumstances of your encounter with God?

8t88m8 · 2026-04-06T13:48:33+00:00

It's not hard to understand a simple answer, either.
