Happy New Year! A Preview of Generative AI in 2024

Happy New Year from EACOMM Corporation!

As EACOMM bids farewell to another year and steps into the uncharted territory of 2024, it’s a perfect moment to reflect on the strides we’ve made in the realm of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and cast our gaze toward the exciting developments that lie ahead. The past year has been a testament to the incredible potential of AI, and 2024 promises to be a groundbreaking chapter in the…

10 BLs where the Main Couple has NO Prior History

Or at least, very very little of it. The opposite of the very popular LTP (long term pining). 

This post in response to a question posed by the most excellent @luuhecia​ who asked: Soooo here's my plea: do you have any recommendations of shows where the people involved have no previous history?

In other words we get to watch them meet and fall in love with no prior history on either side. So I eliminated those were there was a made crush even if only recently (e.g. Light on Me, Takara & Amagi). 

1. Seven Days

They know of each other but just in a normal high school way. No pining. The story is basically about the 7 days it takes them to fall in love. 

2. Color Rush

They are destined for each other but they have never met before. 

3. Semantic Error 

In fact, part of the premise is a “hunt for the unknown boy who made him fail to graduate.” 

4. To My Star 

They have a couple of meet cutes, accidentally shack up together. 

There are actually a TON from Korea. 

5. Addicted 

The new kid in high school. They have a family connection (it turns out) but they didn’t know each other. 

6. Restart After Come Back Home

We see them meet for the first time and then go on from there.

7. HIStory 2: Crossing the Line 

They meet by crashing into each other because... Taiwan. 

8. My Tooth Your Love 

Just so cute. 

9. Eclipse

There are a lot of good ones from Thailand but I chose this because it’s part of the plot, how they know nothing about each other. 

10. Love by Chance 

Just the greatest meet cute ever. 

NEW ENTRY

11. The Eighth Sense

Actually uses the fact that the DO NOT have prior history with each other as a plot point and for character development. It’s addressed directly ind dialogue. Very nicely done!

Appen is still her sole source of income. Pay ranges from 2.2 cents to 50 cents per task, Fuentes says. Typically, an hour and a half of work will bring in $1. When there are enough tasks to work a full week, she earns approximately $280 per month, almost meeting Colombia’s minimum wage of $285. But filling out a week with tasks is rare, she says. Down days, which have become increasingly common, will bring in no more than $1 to $2. Fuentes works on a laptop from her bed, glued to her computer for over 18 hours a day to get the first pick of tasks that could arrive at any time. Given Appen’s international clients, days begin when the tasks come out, which can mean 2 am starts.

It’s a pattern that’s being repeated across the developing world. Labeling hot spots in east Africa, Venezuela, India, the Philippines, and even refugee camps in Kenya and Lebanon’s Shatila camps offer cheap labor. Workers pick up microtasks for a few cents each on platforms like Appen, Clickworker, and Scale AI, or sign onto short-term contracts in physical data centers like Sama’s 3,000-person office in Nairobi, Kenya, which was the subject of a Time investigation into the exploitation of content moderators. The AI boom in these places is no coincidence, says Florian Schmidt, author of Digital Labour Markets in the Platform Economy. “The industry can flexibly move to wherever the wages are lowest,” he says, and can do it far quicker than, for example, textile manufacturers.

AI exploits people of color in the global south.

Best Underrated Anime Group A Round 3: #A8 vs #A2

#A2: Girls do DIY together, but after a new industrial revolution

#A8: Badass woman deals with the supernatural

Details and poll under the cut!

#A2: Do it Yourself!!

Summary:

This series takes place after the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Serufu and her childhood friend Miku/“Purin” both applied to an elite school, where advanced technologies are incorporated into the curriculum. The tech-savvy Purin is accepted into the school, but accident-prone Serufu is rejected and enters a traditional school instead, driving a wedge into their friendship.

On her way to class one day, Serufu encounters Rei, who has a passion for old-fashioned crafts and is the head of the school’s Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Club—which is in danger of closing due to a lack of members. Realizing that this may be her chance to repair her relationship with Purin, Serufu joins the club in hopes of creating projects that could bring them together once more.

Propaganda:

It’s just a really feel-good series with some great characters. I adore all of them and their dynamics with each other, especially the main dynamic between Serufu and Purin as it develops. I’m a really big fan of the show’s angle on stuff such as do-it-yourself crafts following another industrial revolution, just because it does frequently bring up the question of “What’s the point of DIY if in a year or two/maybe even now a robot could recreate the exact same result?” through characters like Purin (who is the major character with the lowest opinion on these kinds of crafts at the start, since she’s in the technologically advanced school and has beliefs more in line with the efficacy of technology rather than the joy of human creation), with the short answer largely being because it’s just fun!

I first watched this show before I saw a lot of AI stuff intruding upon art and rewatching it after sure was fun, because I love its ideas on the worth of doing stuff that machinery could do much faster. It’s not super complex or emotional, but that largely goes in its favor, because it really doesn’t need to be those. It’s just a fun little anime about a bunch of girls having fun together through one shared hobby that some of them had from the start and some of them adopted. I also love the opening, and the ending is a massive comfort song for me. The series can also be very funny at points, and is usually super heartwarming.

Trigger Warnings: None.

#A8: Trese

Summary:

In Manila, where dark supernatural forces pervade the criminal underworld, it’s up to one woman to keep the peace—but there’s a storm brewing.

Propaganda:

It’s the first Filipino anime (at least, that I know of) to feature the country’s supernatural creatures, so if you’ve only watched Japanese anime up to now, you will find the magic in Trese very novel. I also like how the protagonist is a woman when the Lakan, in Philippine history, tended to be a man. She’s also quite badass. Although she has two bulky twin sidekicks who can serve as her bodyguards, she is in no way less than them when it comes to fighting. The show’s on Netflix with different language audios. If you’re gonna watch it in English, you can even hear Dante Basco (Zuko’s voice actor) voicing one of the minor characters.

Trigger Warnings:

Child Abuse – for the episode about a reanimated baby

There’s Violence from fight scenes. There’s also Gore for when the monsters get killed brutally, but because of the art style, it doesn’t appear that extreme.

When reblogging and adding your own propaganda, please tag me @best-underrated-anime so that I’ll be sure to see it.

If you want to criticize one of the shows above to give the one you’re rooting for an advantage, then do so constructively. I do not tolerate groundless hate or slander on this blog. If I catch you doing such a thing in the notes, be it in the tags or reblogs, I will block you.

Know one of the shows above and not satisfied with how it’s presented in this tournament? Just fill up this form, where you can submit revisions for taglines, propaganda, trigger warnings, and/or video.

woo I've got 3 of 4 crochet projects done! I'm taking a quick break before i return to the final one, but here's what I've been working on for the past month!

brief explanation: a friend of mine talked me into putting together some crochet stuff for the fiber arts part of my local fair! all submissions are due may 26th (including photography and art, which I'm going to figure out after I'm done with my crochet work) so I've been scrambling ever since finishing up with my dcrb stuff

the first of the projects is an elephant themed handbag. it's technically a bit of a collab with a friend of mine who came up with the initial idea and is going to be dealing with the interfacing and the lining, so I'm going to have to sort out how to represent that in the submission but

here's what it will look like, minus the ears, tail, and feet. i photographed it before sending it off to her! i also made a trial bag ahead of time

i also made this to trial run my design ideas. it's got some major flaws though i do actually like the head shape more lol even though I spent a LOT of time trying to make the final one work properly.

project 2 is these parols! if you're unfamiliar, an actual parole is a star-shaped paper lantern made in the philippines as a christmas decoration. now i can't make paper lanterns but i can make these, which i did, based off of a design i worked out last Christmas to make some as a gift for my mom. most of these were made using lily sugar and cream yarn which was a Huge Mistake lol.

project 3, which i actually finished a while ago before finishing up the parols are these...things. it's a bit tricky to explain but basically i made these both for fun and as an experiment to test out the capabilities and limitations of chatgpt. if you're somewhat familiar with me, you'll know I'm a programmer by career. which means i have to keep abreast of technological developments NOT because i need them for my job, but because i WILL get pestered by other people who think i know the answer (a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy, that). plus, machine learning is a bit fun cause it's a) it's fun to see it flop and flail around cause it doesn't actually know shit and b) it's a fascinating reflection of the world we've created and the failures and limitations of the structures we create to define and control it.

which is to say that i asked it for various patterns with varying levels of specificity and oversight and crocheted what it gave me with varying levels of "forgiveness" (damn thing doesn't even tell me where to sew or attach things most of the time). IF my submission is accepted, I'm hoping they'll let me submit some explanations to go with lol. and also after finishing the last pattern, which i generated maybe 2 weeks ago, I've finished off the project in solidarity with WGA and the newly unionized "AI" content moderators.

(the most powerful tool i think i have personally is my ability to explain why chatgpt and it's siblings are so limited in their ability and why people ought to be careful implementing them in any meaningful way)

so now that I've adequately proved that i am not a tech bro, actually. observe: my children

the absolutely comical moray eel

i requested a separate jaw piece and that it be long and thin. it gave me this in the silliest way possible.

yes the fins are all wrong and the body is weirdly twisted. i don't know why it gave me a trapezoidal panel. it didn't even tell me to make a tube out of it or how but idk what else i couldve possibly done. anyway, i love him

next, a small collection of flowers.

one looks like a sunny side up egg but pink. chat gpt claimed the one on the left was specifically supposed to be a rose, which is genuinely funny. it's a flower doily, at best, and not even a good one at that.

poppy, orange

im actually quite impressed by these, especially the poppy petals and the leaf of the orange (though the orange is rather flat... i squished it in a bit for the sake of the picture. also check out that stem. wild.)

mystery patterns 1 and 2

these were supposed to resemble actual things, when i was done with them. they do not.

my beloved pill quail

the pattern actually had the dots misaligned because it miscounted the number of stitches in the round, making the instructions mathematically impossible. for the sake of not accidentally creating a physical impossibility and plunging the world into a spontaneously generated black hole, i decided to fix it instead. though that didn't stop my poor quail from literally being capsule shaped, having coffin shaped wings, and the largest quail beak ever. i actually was very specific about this pattern and had to ask it for modifications and answer regenerations a lot (if you do this, you'll find that the average crochet pattern it makes is JUST outside the bounds of it's character limit), so the fact it turned out so funny looking will never not be hilarious to me

mushrooms

for the first, it actually just gave me a panel for the stem, but not cylindrifying it made no sense. for the second it literally just gave me two balls but the nature of crochet balls is you can kinda squish them into shapes.

the "flower basket"

i asked it for an idea to put into the fair, it gave me the flower basket—a small, deflated ball. 10/10. the biggest failure, which is why I love it so

the water lily

it did not adequately tell me how to put the petals onto the circular back panel (which it called the flower). I'd say what i did is probably what it was going for, but it's literally incapable of going for anything. that's not how text predictive models work. and fun fact! no water lily patterns on the internet look like this

self-representation

if chatgpt looked like a little crochet guy, it would look like this, according to it. (once you get past it insisting that if has no visible/physical form) apologies for the very mediocre glasses—i did not get into this hobby to embroider. i am very specifically not good at that. also it's feet were literally too big to have it NOT be sitting. and i did ask for the size safety eyes i should use, which is why they're so small lmfao

and finally:

Ert the hedgehog. it told me i COULD add spikes by using a crochet hook to add yarn at the top of its head. it did not tell me how. so i did that...for at LEAST as much time as it took to make the rest of it. Ert is my newest scapegoat whenever i have a problem. also i forgot to style his spikes for this photo lmaoo

bonus:

I guess I'm making this post to make me feel better about the current political situation in the Philippines. I want you all to know that I proudly voted for Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilingan as President and Vice President last May 9, 2022, and by the numbers it looks like Bongbong Marcos, the son of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos will become the next president of this country. Personally and professionally, I knew how the elections would go because Filipinos, in all honesty, are not educated voters. Only a handful are, and they have exploited the poor through vote buying. It seems people will only ever vote for you if you're well-known, "well-mannered" and a man. This country does not care about credentials, although HRs and job offers here will beg to differ.

For me, as a Filipino and a second time voter, the elections for broken democracies like the Philippines needed both the voters and politicians to know the nuances of how this country works and be at the height of knowing the implications of our history and politics before they can vote. I had been on this earth and godforsaken country for 24 years and people always voted like this. My parents, who always sided with the best choice of presidential candidates and politicians, never saw their good presidential bet win. Now Robredo, our "Liwanag sa Dilim" and Beacon of Hope, did not win because the other camp views us supporters as elitists and privileged for supporting and voting for her.

We needed Robredo and Pangilingan for the development of the Philippines. And other voters voted based on their opinions and feelings. Feelings won't feed you, it won't clothe you or give you a job, feelings won't shelter you. Even if it did, you are probably working for the Marcoses and Dutertes' troll farms and disinformation and misinformation machinery. Most Filipinos do not like hearing about facts and the truth, let alone be educated in the Philippine history. Martial Law is a fact. Martial Law is a part of Philippine history. And they would rather believe in fake news and misinformation? Shame on you.

Also, about Filipino artists and creatives. I beg of you, please do not stop commissioning Filipino artists because of our elections. We are not the US, you're not in any danger because we are not a big country. I honestly cannot relate to Filipino artists who commission because I opened my comms twice before and got zero comms, but please continue to support them. Filipino artists and creatives need the money just in case this country gets worse.

ChatGPT-4 vs Gemini: A Comparison of the Leading AI Models

Artificial Intelligence has rapidly become an essential part of our daily lives, especially in content creation, customer service, and problem-solving. Two of the most advanced generative AI tools available today are ChatGPT 4 and Google’s Gemini AI. Both are popular in the Philippines and globally for their ability to assist with everything from casual conversation to tackling complex questions.

Even though ChatGPT 4 and Gemini AI come with numerous features, each program has unique strengths and areas for improvement. Let’s dive deeper to understand what makes each tool stand out and how they compare in practical scenarios.

What is ChatGPT 4?

ChatGPT 4 is a powerful AI model designed to engage in human-like conversations. Think of it as an advanced assistant understanding and responding intelligently to your questions or statements. Whether you’re looking for advice, want to chat, or need content written, ChatGPT 4 has you covered.

Imagine having a chat with a friend who’s great at almost every subject. You ask a question or share your thoughts, and they respond in a way that’s easy to understand and informative. That’s what ChatGPT 4 aims to be — an AI that excels at generating coherent and contextually relevant responses. It’s great for content creation, summarizing complex information, and even storytelling.

ChatGPT 4 is built to adapt and learn from its interactions, making conversations feel smoother and more intuitive over time. So, if you’re working on a project or simply need some inspiration, OpenAI’s GPT-4 is a versatile companion.

What is Gemini AI?

Gemini AI, developed by Google, is a high-powered AI assistant with a focus on making computers think and learn more like humans. It’s a cutting-edge platform that excels in areas requiring complex problem-solving and deep reasoning.

Picture having a brilliant assistant who helps analyze intricate problems, whether they’re mathematical, scientific, or philosophical. Gemini AI can help computers understand and process natural language and even recognize objects in images. It’s all about pushing the boundaries of how smart a machine can be, making it a valuable tool for developers, researchers, and tech enthusiasts in the Philippines and beyond.

Gemini AI not only improves how machines comprehend language but also supports advanced tasks, like understanding visual content and handling nuanced queries. If you want a tool that can dig deep into complex topics, Gemini AI might be the way to go.

Is Gemini Better Than GPT-4?

Both ChatGPT 4 and Gemini are remarkable in their own right. But which one is better depends on your needs.

Gemini AI stands out for its advanced reasoning skills and ability to understand sophisticated concepts. It’s like having an AI scholar who can grasp deep theories and apply critical thinking. This makes Gemini an excellent choice for tasks that require analytical skills and a deep understanding of complicated data.

ChatGPT 4, on the other hand, is optimized for natural language processing and creating human-like conversations. It’s perfect for generating well-written content, providing detailed answers, and engaging in fluid, natural conversations. ChatGPT is highly effective for tasks like writing articles, answering customer inquiries, and even role-playing scenarios.

For users in the Philippines, both models offer unique benefits. If you frequently work on projects that require lots of written content or need an AI to assist in day-to-day tasks, ChatGPT 4 is a strong choice. Meanwhile, if you’re dealing with complex data analysis or research-based work, Gemini AI might serve you better.

Key Differences: Gemini AI vs. ChatGPT 4

Besides their distinct language models and sources of data, here are some other differences between Gemini and ChatGPT:

Conversational Learning: ChatGPT 4 is designed to “remember” and hold the context of a conversation, enhancing interactions as they progress. Gemini AI can also learn from conversations but in a more limited way.

Drafts: Google Gemini AI provides multiple draft responses for any given query. You can choose the one that best fits your needs. ChatGPT 4, however, generates a single, refined answer.
