AI in this area is primarily bullshit work like translating documents for businesses and illustrating power point presentations. No real loss. Only place in literature which AI will take over translation is in fad genre shit. Any author resorting to AI for illustration probably can not afford an illustrator and their work just would go without.
>>23332086
Few people make a living or much money with literary translations, its mostly college professors and the like doing it as a passion project. The handful of people who have managed to make a career out of literary translation are in no risk of AI taking their job and AI is still a long ways off from reaching their level.

Geniuses like Max Lawton will be alright. Did you know he’s working on two new projects?

>>23332061
Boiler plate copy translators are not REAL LITERARY translators. Fuck off shill before I find you.

Monolingual chads unite

If my experience generating subtitles is any indication, any machine translations will need a lot of editing before being considered usable. WhisperX may make a really good first draft, but its timestamp generation gets confused if the background audio is too loud, plus it has the usual problems with vocal effects and foreign accents.

>>23332039
Its basically about the difference between the analytical and the continental mindset. Pirsig tries to make it sound like its more than that, but it's not really.
He thinks about the bike in terms of its mechanical parts, and the friend thinks about it in terms of the pleasure of the ride. It's not that deep really

Theater limits the setting of a story.

>>23332100
Nah, it just relies on writers capable of exploiting the audiences imagination and an audience who has not let their imagination atrophy.

>Fucking hacks.
So a hack is a person who mindlessly follows convention?

>murderer is raping my corpse
>my soul is already pausing at the first tollhouse to look back at him with infinite pity as i can see the golden chains of both our past lives running through samsara like red threads
>see all the karmic pain he is in from multiple b bad incarnations, pain that has twisted him up into this knot of evil
>forgive him on so many dimensions that his head would explode if he tried to perceive my forgiveness directly
>pledge to wait in the lethe until he dies and embrace him when his current incarnation ends and he inevitably realizes the enormity of karmic hell he is in for
>talk to some angels while waiting patiently to give him a big cosmic hug when he arrives and help him work on a plan for penitence across his next several lives
>angel tells me i helped over one thousand old ladies across the street in my last life and i can incarnate as a bivalve next time as a reward
>mfw bivalves are widely regarded as the best incarnation you can get

>>23332007
I write to not kill myself

Honestly I have a feeling that that mindset is likely one that people who don't actually write would have
Real authors probably write with the mindset that their books will be profitable and that with their next book, they will have a better negotiating position

>>23332024
Cope and seethe clamfag. You will never be a mollusc.

It's true, the abyss of time makes libraries akin to a graveyard, with each book marking the grave. Do you remember the names of everyone in the last graveyard you visited?

That said, the ideas we pass on might outlive us

>>23332003
Your mum satisfies my will nightly.

>>23332003
Yeah, after you eat you get hungry again. There is no permanent satisfaction, you have to keep doing things. I don't know why this fact totally breaks some people. Maybe because their desires are too big.

>>23332078
Existentialism is a Humanism. If you can find that it's short and not bad.

>>23331981
he has a philosophical power level of like 100

I'm learning French but I don't have any interest in philosophy
Are his novels still worth reading? How difficult are they compared to say, Camus or Houellebecq?

>>23332094
I would say Sartre is on average slightly harder than Houellebecq. Camus has very different writing styles d'un livre à l'autre so it depends. All Sartre is harder than L'Etranger for sure, about as hard as La Peste or La Chute I would say.

>>23332094
La Nausée and Le Mure are fine, Les Mots on the other hand is atrocious. I would recommend his plays, Les Mains sales, Huis-clos and Le Diable et le bon Dieu which are quite funny and interesting.

German Ideology

>>23332145
American people want to be controlled, it's very self-evident. They all disguise it behind the constant screeching of freedom and "patriotism" yet they are as much slaves to their overlords
as sub-saharan Africans are to theirs. You won't find shit like this in most of Europe because no one cares. And no one is powerful enough to look away from the majority's opinion. Only American politicians with their dictatorship-esque powers could do so. All while they constantly suppress and at the same time support, the fall of the West, and the rise of the fags, trannies, and niggers. Look through the USA and all you can see is constant shoplifting, rallies for pride, constant corruption, and the degeneracy of every class. It's disgusting, to say the least. I hope Texans succeed, but that itself is a pipe dream for people already in too deep into what is essentially the slavery of the mind.

No, I want to give life to characters by having them share what they want when they want. I don't want the characters to be at the mercy of the characters, using them as fleshlights for their own self-projected power fantasies.

>>23331871
>People that say dialogue should only exist to move the plot are retarded. If I want to write a 1000 word dialogue between two characters sperging out about craft beer and hops to show that one of the characters is only superficially supportive of the other character's problems and only likes to have her around to sperg out about craft beer with, then I'll do just that
When people say things should support the "plot" they mean the story and a story is just a series of events that are more than the sum of their parts when condensed. If your character not caring about the other is important to the story you can get away with literally anything as long as you illustrate it in an interesting way.
A's an aside that bitch looks anorexic.

You can get this point across in far less than 1000 words without losing anything of value in the process. There is no point to having your plot stall this hard for no reason.

>then I'll do just that.
You can. But I think the majority of people who read that would find it very boring. If you're writing a book purely for yourself that's fine but if you're planning on releasing it to the public then you need to always keep the audience in mind and think to yourself "Would anyone actually want to read this? Is this entertaining?".

Aircraft carriers can exert power over the air, sea and land. Some carriers and subs run on compact nuclear reactors. They can run for decades on the fuel on board, excess energy means they can do things like generate oxygen. Only Russia has portable nuclear reactors like this being used by consumers in the form of large ships with reactors that dock at towns needing power. Access to energy correlates with economic output but I think it also has serious psychological effects. People intuitively feel the potential of all that power like they intuitively feel the effects of peak oil and peak resource extraction growth.

Nietzche was a trained philologist and the son of a pastor, he was obviously a Christian

No one ever is.

If one had made any decision by taking risks in their life, then he's not atheist.

>>23331857
He seemed to not really care one way or the other and was more concerned about the consequences ideas about God have on men who hold them.

Sometimes it's baffling how retarded the mainstream narratives get. Because some faggot somewhere is "respected in his field" the consensus now is that there's "no evidence" for Jews ever having been Egyptian slaves. A Greek source said they're Hyksos, so saying there's "no evidence" is a flat out lie.
Late Egyptian sources say the Hyksos homeland was somewhere around or in Israel even though they originated in Turkey. They were indo-European milk people who conquered Egypt and then got overthrown and enslaved, so Moses had royal Egyptian lineage and was a slave.. and white.

I’ve watched the video where he shits on Harold Bloom and he just comes across someone who is easily filtered.

>>23331606
Just saw a short clip where he calls Vonnegut a great comedic lyrical writer and, in comparison, calls Pynchyon a meandering rambler who doesn't have poetic sensibilities.

It's amazing how someone can be so right and so wrong, with two critiques

there was this one asian guy who learned japanese to read eroge and somehow got really obsessed with dan schneider
i really don't know why
schneider's daughter(?) writes too, iirc

I legit don't care about poor people, if you steal bread to eat yes you are a thief, I have a right to shoot you, and the police have every right to put you in a jail where you get free food paid by *my* tax money.

My car has been broken into 4 times in the past 12 months, I no longer give a shit about excuses, and philosophically speaking I'm ready to just start doing russia and using slavic methods to deal with such dogs. I think there's a lot we can learn from how eastern bloc countries manage poverty with beatings, which is an effective deterrent against future crime.

>>23332281
If you actually read the book “Monsieur Madeline” actually agrees with your point which is why he became mayor so that he could set about raising up the poor and the living standards of the people in Montreuil sur Mer so that crime would cease.
