Crunchyroll blames third-party vendor for AI subtitle mess

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-09 00:57:48

At the start of last year, Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini told The Verge the company was "very focused on testing" generative AI tools for subtitling and captioning speech to text. The comment came just months after the streamer temporarily took down the debut episode of one of its newest shows, The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, after people complained about poor subtitles.

FAQ What Kinds of Coffee Subscriptions Are There? AccordionItemContainerButton LargeChevron There are two kinds of coffee subscription providers: roasters and retailers. Roasters are cafés, and small-batch producers who buy raw beans from farmers all over the world and roast them to perfection.

Crunchyroll Accidentally Left AI Slop in Anime Subtitles

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-12 02:20:56

Crunchyroll, the massively popular anime streaming service and distributor, just got caught using obvious AI slop in its subtitles. The slipup was made in the premiere episode of a new series called "Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show" — and trust us, there's no guesswork involved in sniffing out the AI here. Around the 19:12 mark, the show's German subtitles feature a big fat "ChatGPT said:" jammed into the dialog. A classic, lazy error. (We double checked, and it's still there as of this

Meta, TikTok can’t toss wrongful death suit from mom of “subway surfing” teen

Python dataclasses are a really nice feature for constructing classes that primarily hold or work with data. They can be a good alternative to using dictionaries, since they allow you to add methods, dynamic properties, and subclasses. They can also be a good alternative to building your own class by hand, since they don’t need a custom __init__() that reassigns attributes and provide methods like __eq__() out of the box.

JSON is not a friendly format to the Unix shell — it’s hierarchical, and cannot be reasonably split on any character (other than the newline, which is not very useful) as that character might be included in a string. There are well-known tools such as jq that let you correctly parse JSON documents in the shell, but all require an additional dependency.

Before June 8, the skilled and respected ABC News television journalist Terry Moran was neither a household name nor political lightning rod. That changed abruptly when Moran posted on X that Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller was “a world-class hater,” followed by an addendum that the president was a hater as well. (The post was later taken down.) While the statements were certainly defendable, they apparently violated ABC policy, and Moran was suspended, then dismissed. Moran,

Subsecond: A runtime hotpatching engine for Rust hot-reloading

§Subsecond: Hot-patching for Rust Subsecond is a library that enables hot-patching for Rust applications. This allows you to change the code of a running application without restarting it. This is useful for game engines, servers, and other long-running applications where the typical edit-compile-run cycle is too slow. Subsecond also implements a technique we call “ThinLinking” which makes compiling Rust code significantly faster in development mode, which can be used outside of hot-patching.
