    I'd say that's a more reasonable guess

    South korea's been evangelizing there lately in an attempt of wooing back enough ethnic Koreans to try and offset the declining age demographics.

    Problem is that the Kazakh Koreans have been integrating into their new home so well that should they try to expatriate back to their grandparents fatherland they actually face some racism.

    There's also Korean transplants moved to the Kazakh region back in the 30s.

    Looking around at all the Koreans around me...

    That dude looks like the least Korean Korean I've seen yet, he honestly looks sorta south-eastern asian. Also isn't he speaking in Ukrainian dialect?

    There are few genuine mistakes the Soviets have committed that I think aught be rectified.

    Not letting Yuri credit his cat is one of them.

    Well it does make you wonder whether if the southern slavery apologists would be affable to this scum or be icked out by the fact that he's a pagan that hates Jesus and their faith

    Bet they also said that British imperialism helped India and colonialism actually was good.

    Then I'd ask "yo did you meet one of my coworkers? "

    I've heard Greens are also a huge mixed bag depending on chapter

    They are. I honestly think they would've been a better vehicle for the nascent left than the fucking DSA democrat tailists as they're an actual political party separate from the political duopoly unitary and have built up significant enough infrastructure to actually be fielded across the country significantly enough to actually piss off the Democrat party leadership.

    No, no, no, this dweeb hates Jesus, so it's just projection of the neo-slaver's idealized form in AI art.

    Same thing so far in Korea. And even though I'm a bit off the beaten path from down town seoul, I don't even notice any silly drunks that had a bit too good of a time.

    Just lots of old folks, and a smattering of all the other age groups. With the old folks wandering around and having the time of their lives after the sun sets for like two-four hours.

    Umbrellas aren't a part of the collective anti-theft culture. When it rains, it fucking dumps, and I totally get going "fuck it" and pinching an Umbrella after yesterday's rainstorm.

    If anyone's curious, situation normal here in Seoul. Lots of rain today, some thunder and lightning expected for the next five hours.

    I learned my shoe has a hole in it so it wicked up as much water as it could like a dying man in a desert and I spent a decent chunk of the day with squishy feet.

    Gonna go for a walk now. Why do old Koreans like walking so bloody much lmao

    Fun fact: the fucking loser that made this got bullied so hard he deleted everything related to this off his social media accounts. Also I agree with the fella that says we need to being back tarring and feathering, exclusively for techbros Article source: https://www.thewrap.com/ai-princess-mononoke-remake-trailer-slammed-online/ “I strongly feel that [artificial intelligence] is an insult to life itself,” the original’s legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki has previously said A “Princess Mononoke” film created using so-called generative AI was slammed by fans on social media after its release earlier this week. “One day we’ll wake up, and there won’t be any more Princess Mononoke, Gravity Falls, Avatar or animated films like Wolf Children or Arcane… just AI-generated soulless garbage,” wrote @goroweko on X, formerly Twitter. “I don’t want that so bad.” The AI-generated remake goes up against the original “shot-for-shot” and was created by AI entrepreneur PJ Acetturo, combining AI-generated CGI shots that match the fim. The result is a “crime” that turns “a 15-year-old Japanese girl into a white woman with a smoky eye and bikini tan lines” and “‘is enough for me to think we should bring back tarring and feathering,” literary agent Roma Panganiban wrote on X. Acetturo has made it clear he’s proud of his production, no matter what reaction it’s received. “I’ve wanted to make a live action version of Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke for 20+ years now. I spent $745 in Kling credits to show you a glimpse of the future of filmmaking,” he wrote on X. The AI filmmaker added that he was “being interviewed on the BBC today about my films” and “Clients are reaching out like crazy.” He was challenged in the BBC segment, with one of the British network’s contributors noting that it seemed that there was something lacking in AI-created content. “I’m sure there will be some criticism of this. I’ve heard Miyazaki is anti-AI. That’s okay,” the filmmaker wrote online. “I made this adaptation mostly for myself, because his work makes me want to create new worlds. We should look for ethical ways to explore AI tools to help empower artists to create.” He posted a side-by-side comparison of his trailer with the beautifully crafted original: The Mononoke trailer is a shot-for-shot remake of the trailer. This film has been in my head for two decades. I love this world so much. I hope this meager adaptation inspires others to further explore their favorite worlds. Here's the side by side comparison: pic.twitter.com/eDu8ASOBU6 — PJ Ace (@PJaccetturo) October 3, 2024 His statements were called out as problematic by actor Swann Grey, who tweeted in response, “‘I’ve heard Miyazaki is anti-AI. That’s okay.’ … Excuse you? To say that in the same breath as the word ‘ethical’? And to call a shot-for-shot remake ‘creating a new world’? Zero creativity, zero respect, and zero concept of what art is. You’re not an artist — you’re a fraud.” Miyazaki himself has stated, when presented with an example of the use of AI in animation, that “I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.”
