6·2 days agoIt depends on why the books is rare, some books are rare because they are not popular while other because they were banned. For example I know a novel were the English translation is easily available, but the original language is rare because it was banned in the original language in multiple countries. Don’t forget collecter artbooks that were never digitised.
If we have access to the digital copies then Yes, but we don’t have access to them, they are turned into training data for AI.
It is in the article doesn’t matter if you remove it. The moment the article became public it is already too late.
It sill works, you get first name and last name.

2·12 days agoYes, accepting AI would lead to a lot of slop, but what annoys me is that AI was trained on the work of a lot if people with no credit given. It is different than a human mimicking another’s work. Punpun’s author on the other hand mostly used photos for the background to make the manga realistic, that is why he probably considered AI, the characters are always hand drawn though. But honestly I prefer modified photos than AI anytime of day.
Here is what I recommend, keep in mind some of them are for adults, so you will need to check if they are appropriate:
- Junji Ito Frankenstein
- Gankutsuou (The Count of Monte Cristo)
- Legend of the Galactic Heroes
- Junji Ito No Longer Human (18+)
- Lovecraft’s Manga Adaptations (Start with At The Mountains of Madness)
- Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen Manga
- Les Misérables Manga
- The Tale of Genji Manga
- Anne of Green Gables Manga
There is more, just look for novels adapted into manga. If they like the manga they might want to read the original.
Also note that some are for adults, so you would need to check them.

The problem with using ChatGPT for translation is that it will highly likely won’t be an accurate translation or it might even hallucinate. Additionally the Clockwork Orange is hard to read on purpose, if you use ChatGPT there is not point in reading it; why translate made-up teenage slang. The author wanted the readers to understand it themselves, it is part of the fun.

It is true that people are probably reading more online than in the past, for example many people are probably reading from royal road. I for one used to read from royal road a lot, a lot of books from there even got published like Dungeon Crawler.
But in my opinion, I do think people are reading less due to tiktok, Instagram, and other social media sites. Reading level is going down.

Agreed, using the same device for illegal and personal activity is dumb.
Does anyone here know how to get the DDR5 Chinese RAM?
This is only for the clearnet, the darknets don’t have this. Maybe most people will go to darknets. Of course due to being unregulated it has all kinds of disturbing stuff.

Steam isn’t the only one affected by the RAM shortage.
Exactly the steam mahcine isn’t aiming for PC gamers, it is aiming for console players.
I believe at first AI companies bought the future supply for HBM, which caused ram scarcity since the same companies that make DDR5 are focusing on HBM. Currently a lot of the DDR5 future and current supply is going to Data centers, not leaving much for normal consumers.
This is why there should be laws regarding RAM prices. A couple of companies buying the entire supply shouldn’t be allowed.
We are not talking about 1 or 2 companies this is the KOSPI similar to S&P in US. This worse than 2008 for Korea. Additionally many Koreans use leverage which means they were margin called and some are even in debt now.
The collapse surpasses the October 1997 IMF crisis, when the index lost 27%, and the October 2008 global financial crisis at 23%.
