>Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is preparing to provide 11.5 billion yen (~ USD 71.1 million) in subsidies to 15 major entertainment companies to accelerate their overseas expansion, while encouraging them to use AI translations.>The subsidy program will cover half of the investment costs required for translating the works of these companies into foreign languages, along with overseas advertising and also their participation in international events and fairs.https://kotaku.com/japanese-anime-manga-and-gaming-publishers-are-reportedly-being-paid-70-million-to-encourage-ai-generated-translations-2000710488

>>288969353>trading troon slop for AI slop
>>288969353Damn that's actually a lot, guess the Japanese government is going all in on ai translation.
Fuck off alreadyAnd fuck off to anyone replying to this shit thread seriously
>>288969363>thinking ai tl is a downgrade from tranny tls
>>288969372Japan has also invested 12 Billion USD into AI innovation and robotics with this bill so ai for anime should vastly improve on top of the ai tanslations huge investment.
>>288969353Why are they dumping so much money into making anime worse
>>288969353Report and ignore
There's already a thread, and we've had a thread before that.>>288959964
>>288969519Not everyone is on /a/ 24/7, this is important news
>>288969427>ai>good
>>288969353How much did sam altman have to pay sanae to pull this off?
How about you just delete the fucking thread, janny-kun
>>288969353If lolcowlizers never made translation a form of activism people wouldn't be cheering for this.
>>288969440They are dumping money to save Japan from the California.
>>288969363Rent free
This is all pirates fault btw >These unauthorized sites attracted global users by providing translated versions of popular manga and anime before official versions were available in the market. The government is now banking on AI-driven translation as a major means to counter piracy by delivering official versions to the end users quicker.
>>288969756Based pirate chads helping out ai chads
>>288969756Nips think that piracy is caused due to "leaks"?
>>288969794>ai>chadThink you forgot to scoop some poop off the floor saar
>>288969844Cry more tranny, you lost
>>288969353Based, trannyslators on suicide watch
>>288969863You realize this won't just affect translation right? Do you believe this will stop at translation? How stupid are you?
stop spamming
>>288969353>70mChump change
>>288969891No one cares
>>288969756Pirates just rip anime from streaming services lol
Fuck off, all of you niggers
>>288969353So basically they want to throw tons of anime and manga through AI and pump it out faster than pirates can and the companies who do so will get paid shit loads of yen?
>>288969363Spbp
>>288970088You can't though because that never happened and your a post 16 election tourist. You don't even watch anime, you just get angry at boogiemen on the Internet.
>>288970091You need to go back, /pol/ losers don't belong on /a/.
>>288970148One post of some incel posting the frog isn't the own you think it is. Frogs have always been banned on /a/.
>>288969353>Nobody here pays for anime
>>288969372Techbros are using middlemen to launder money
>>288969363Actual improvement
>>288969353>itt chuds cheer for enshittificationAnd the mask comes off
>>288969353AI is way better than using John Werry and co
>>288970301Anything they can pretend is hurting the people they don't like counts as a win to them.
>>288970301>>288970399>trananons this madwwwwww
>>288970166Shut the fuck up you revisionist underage troonYou're at best a Covid invaderYou don't even remember Seiren or Franxx threadsPepes were not banned prior to 2016, neither wojaks(not to be confused with soijaks)
>>288970424You need a new one.
>>288969353Fansubs are already dead.Fantranslations are still (not) dead, but not sure if they're going to even survive for longer.
>>288969363Unironically an upgrade from trannylations tho.
At this point I don't really care as long as it's ripped and uploaded for DL. I will never pay for something that I can't keep, so online reading in the 'subscribe for chapters' model is out. I'd buy digital volumes that I could download.There are two downsides: 1. AI and datacenters are literal cancer2. This will likely encourage Japanese producers to (((target))) (((western markets))) so expect to see less Japanese-ish, more sanitized, woke, normalfag-ready crap. It's inevitable really, we just have to accept that anime and manga are on the downward slope; they won't be that strange, different, fun, free and less normalfag mediums that they were up until the 2010s.
>>288969353Honestly, if it means I'll finally get translated chapters of long dropped series, I don't care. Ultra Kaijuu Project has been stuck on 51 chapters for 5+ years. It means I'll finally be able to read the rest, by all means, go full AI
>>288970471>>288970639>>288970736>>288971043Supporting ai just because you will take any slop at all is certainly a choice. Is /pol/ raising us today?
>>288971067>/pol/ out of nowhereYou need to touch grass man
>>288971088Supporting techbros and their fascist endeavors is very /pol/ yes.
>>288970736You know you can just download the chapters and keep them forever, right?
>>288969808It has some validity when it comes to things like Jump manga being translated into Korean / Chinese. Those groups do get prerelease leaks and they sometimes beat the official Japanese release to the punch.
>>288971109>if you use any tech at all you support fascistsNo but if you use most AI you are indirectly or directly supporting technofascists and lining their pockets correct. Japan spending apparently 10 billion used in some new bill recently to cooperate with open AI was also a direct deposit into fascist's bank accounts. 70 million to ruin anime as well.
>>288971067I said it's an upgrade, not that it'll be perfect, bwaka.
>>288971097No. It's /g/.
>>288970448>neither wojaks(not to be confused with soijaks)They all look the same
>>288971109Wow, you're pretty smart. You should come over and fuck my sister.
>>288971149I do but I don't really expect a rightoid to understand it that's for sure. Maybe consider getting an education?
>>288971175I'll take that as a no
>>288971127How exactly is this news a good thing or in your own words "upgrade"? What is being improved?
I don't understand this thing about needing ai made by companies, why the fuck don't you use an ai to translate stuff yourself? Why wait for a company to do it?
>>288969756Then those unauthorized sites pirate the MTLs.
>>288971179I take it you don't understand what fascism means? You should really get yourself educated on these things so you can better understand the evils in this world. But I mean you're a rightoid and like all rightoids you're intellectually dishonest and the views you have fall apart under basic scrutiny.
ai > troons
>>288971186>What is being improved?Removal of ""official"" trannylators that mutilate the script obviously, what part of 'trannylations' don't you understand.
>>288969353Sounds good, i love Ai
>>288971220>>288971221>>288971226We really are being raided by /pol/, clean it up jannies.
>>288971230Fuck off triploser
>>288971179>Do you even know what that word means?>"Yes.">I'll take that as a no
>>288971350He's a dishonest MIGA cuck, expecting a genuine argument from a rightoid is like seeing pigs fly.
>>288971314>triploser>trip
>>288969353The only good thing about the article is the picture of jjk when they talk about ai
No seriously, how is it that they keep hiring more jannies but there are fewer than ever before
>>288971440The sites on its deathbed, they didn't hire more jannies. The future of the internet is discord/tiktok/twitter.
>>288971399Go back to /pol/ MIGA cuck
>>288971294>Noo you can't complain about wokeshit trannylationsI don't care if /pol/ also take issue with it, it's still an issue, and I'll be glad to see them replaced by sloppa that probably won't be any worse in overall quality while also not shoving their socjus bs into my Japanimation and mangoes and raitonoberu.
>>288971314>not knowing the difference between namefagging and tripfagginglurk two years before posting.
>>288971507>minorities and trans people getting proper representation is "bad" because Israel told me souh huh, when ai replaces your job don't complain /pol/ tourist
>>288969353I didn't even think Japan had any large stake in the AI 'race'.
>>288969854>>288969863The autistic freaks that train LLMs all have very cute pairs of programmer socks on.
>>288971536Japan just started investing 65.1 Billion USD over the course of 15-20 years into ai.https://asia.nikkei.com/business/technology/artificial-intelligence/japan-targets-65bn-in-public-private-physical-ai-investment-by-2040One of the key strategies is to improve translation, medical and robotics while cooperating with open ai.
>>288971532>Implies others are tourists>Doesn't remember the disgust /a/ expressed each time these trannylators got caught out shoving shit that was never there in/taking le heckin' problematic dialogue outTrannylator about to get replaced by a robot that will actually translate and not 'localize' like xis tranny ass detected.
>>288971581>65.1 Billion USD What the fuck is japan smoking
>>288971188This is a form of industrial subsidy. Its like paying manga companies to print on local Japanese paper or use locally produced ink, rather than importing paper and ink from China. In this case it is a subsidy for AI companies operating in Japan.
