The Empress was better spoken than the Emperor, he informed me.

My father has just come home.
He has indeed had a conversation with the Emperor. He was shocked because the way the Emperor spoke was very folksy.

The Japanese Emperor is a member of an orchestra and plays the viola.
He is a true lover of culture and the arts, enjoys mountain climbing, and respects the diversity of life in nature.
Like many decent people, he has mixed feelings about free speech on the internet these days.

2024-07-07 08:32:11

Good evening, fedi folks.
Tomorrow, I intend to take paid leave to attend my father's award ceremony (the Japan Academy Prize).
The Emperor of Japan will also attend the ceremony.

The professor who introduced me to the famous philosophical books of my graduate school readership has not adapted well to the ever more complex liberalism of our time, and is now a man who discusses things all the time, like a middle-aged man in incel.

Microsoft Recall has many promising customers.
The same is true of the police and public authorities, and most managers in the world do not want to incur costs in monitoring how their employees work.
They want to put pressure on employees and citizens with as little cost as possible.

For example, China is a despotic country, so when we think of ordinary citizens in the suburbs of China, we are likely to have the prejudice that "they are not living a modern life."
But this is not the case. There are ordinary Asians and their normal daily lives.

The case of OpenAI's alleged plagiarism of Scarlett Johansson's flesh-and-blood voice is problematic, but even more problematic is the tendency of Japanese AI startups to adopt too many images of young women in their representations of AI.
When I was a graduate student, I was particularly fed up with this trend.
How many male robotics engineers adopt the appearance of young women and beautiful girls as representations of their robots and proudly say, "Behold, this is my work!"

It was just a month ago.
The Japanese media, Nikkei, has announced an LLM whose dataset is composed solely of their content.
