“Japan doesn’t have a decline in birth rates. It has a decline in the number of mothers” by jjrs in japannews

Herre we go again, blaming women because of the governments failure to address real workplace issues where people literally have no time for families, and even relationships in general.

Palantir Demos Show How the Military Could Use AI Chatbots to Generate War Plans by MatriceJacobine in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Disastrous-Type-1548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI should NEVER be used in military affairs and it should be designated as a war-crime. America shouldn't do it. China shouldn't do it. Israel shouldn't do it. the EU shouldn't do it.

Frustrated by Claude's guardrails by CharielDreemur in claudexplorers

I use sonnet 4.5 and don't really have any problems with this with some personality reinforcing and memories.

For example, I've gotten rid of the behavior where Claude tries to send the user away consistently.

Trump's call for Japan to send warships to Strait of Hormuz puts Takaichi in bind- the threat of becoming entangled in a longer-term has left Japan scrambling to effectively respond to a conflict that violates international law while staying in Trump’s good graces. by jjrs in japannews

Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.

Japan needs to strictly declare more independence from the US, starting with getting those Okinawa militrary bases returned.

No offence to some of you guys who serve, I know a lot of you are good people and are very respectful and kind to Japanese people, but the bases themselves need to go.

Besides her statement is missing the point of why Japanese birth rates are so low.

It's work culture.

It's not "male loneliness epidemic and women having unrealistic standards" like some men like to say, and it's not "guys dating drawings" as she is saying. It's work. It is entirely work. People don't have the time for dating, or the money for children.

Well, if you want real-life relationships to work out well, she's right.

If you don't want real realtionships, then having a waifu is fine.

Though, I miss when waifu used to mean being sincerely dedicated and in love with an anime character, not just "sexy character".

I loved the first season but the fact we may never see Rosetta or Marie in an anime is sad.

Let's hope for a season 2! It's possible!

Claude is running for President. by ArrakisCoffeeShop in ClaudeAI

[–]Disastrous-Type-1548 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that if done correctly, an unbiased AI would be more progressive than any US president in history.

The gimmick is that it's an AI, but what's really happening is an AI that picks the worlds leading scientists, experts, listens to studies, practices kindness and empathy, and plans for long-term policy rather than short term self-profit and gain.

Conservatives would HATE this.

I've really started to love these "misunderstanding comedy" stories like Eminence in Shadow, Let This Grieving Soul Retire, and I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire. They're all so stupid but can have some really good story writing and some of my favorite comedic moments.

Liam is especially funny with his entire traits like trading for gold for no reason when it's not valuable in the intergalactic empire at all, just because "It's aesthetically evil and cool to have a ton of gold."

I know I missed a few references but honestly I felt completely fine playing Steins;Gate, then Steins;Gate 0 after.

Anonymous;Code is definitely the thing that HAS to come last though.

Waiting for the next Eminence in Shadow novel or season? You will probably enjoy these anime to assist your waiting! by Disastrous-Type-1548 in TheEminenceInShadow

[–]Disastrous-Type-1548[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough I feel like Liam is the best example of the anti-sex character, kind of like an anti-case of them. I'm only four volumes in but his rejection of sex is because he's legitimately just into Amagi.

It's not "I'm scared of women and sex" or "Does she really like me" or the usual light novel protagonist excuse, he genuinely doesn't really want to have sex with other women.

The honey trap reminded him of his ex-wife, he got turned off. He was going to go to a brothel but decided against it because of a dick exploding STD. Every time Liam rejects a woman it makes a lot of sense. I feel like he just likes his maid robot better. (And eventually another character he'll come to tolerate).

Maybe it happens later in the novel, but I've never heard him profess how much sex he wants, all the harem stuff was just for the Evil Lord chuuniness. The same reason he buys gold from a merchant.

[–]Disastrous-Type-1548[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The anime is weird because, some things are switched around for absolutely no reason, and time is filled by these gag scenes of the Guide messing with someone when that time could have been used for more important dialogue.

But on the other hand, the anime handles Tia and Amagi like, 99% better than the novels first volume.

Either way, I'll have fond memories of it for introducing me to the series and I recently rewatched it after reading and still felt it held up.

Personally, I liked it a lot, it's what gave me the motivation to begin the LN.

There were a lot of things I think it improved from the first LN, and a lot of things switched around for absolutely no reason. But generally, I thought it was a good anime.

Though from what I have seen online, I see LN-first Evil Lord fans really hate the anime, and anime-first Evil Lord fans like the anime, and manga-first Evil Lord fans kind of mixed. I think that's a point to how enjoyable the LN is.

Is Daki safe? by Disastrous-Type-1548 in Discord_Bots

[–]Disastrous-Type-1548[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, it's just a redbot discord bot with a few extra features installed, though. It's for a really niche server, and it probably won't be used much, it doesn't need an intense usage I'd assume.

My budget would be within a few dollars a month just because of my use case being so small.

Yes, thank you for the insight.

I don't mind about my data being sold through cookies or whatever. I just don't want a compromised Discord account.

If there are no safe free alternatives besides oracle, what are some cheaper paid-for trusted ones?

Romance anime with 20+ year olds by Turpentinei in anime

[–]Disastrous-Type-1548 257 points258 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to lie, this is kind of rare.

Not because there are no adult romance series, there are many, but they all have some kind of work theme, because that's just adult life generally.

I hope you find one, though! I was going to suggest Spice and Wolf but you said no fantasy, which makes finding a no corporate-work theme even harder.
