"Comic Translate." "Many Automatic Manga Translators exist. Very few properly support comics of other kinds in other languages. This project was created to utilize the ability of GPT-4 and translate comics from all over the world. Currently, it supports translating to and from English, Korean, Japanese, French, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, German, Dutch, Spanish and Italian."

For a couple dozen languages, the best Machine Translator is not Google Translate, Papago or even DeepL, but GPT-4, and by far. This is very apparent for distant language pairs (Korean<->English, Japanese<->English etc) where other translators still often devolve into gibberish.

Works by combining neural networks for speech bubble detection, text segmentation, OCR, inpainting, translation, and text rendering. The neural networks for speech bubble detection, text segmentation, and inpainting apply to all languages, while OCR, translation, and text rendering are language-specific.

The #anime #series #Pantheon raises the ethical questions we should ask ourselves when using #AI.

source: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/195339-pantheon

Initially, the first half of the first episode starts like a teeny high school drama. You have to sit through it if you don't want to see something like that, because in the end it's all about the big world conspiracy.

The ethical questions that are addressed include:
1) Can poor people be abused as experimental subjects?
2) If you can only upload a brain to the cloud by destroying it, should you do so anyway?
3) What rights does a human #consciousness have in the cloud that can simply be reset or switched off?
4) If an AI escapes from a protected cloud to the internet, what should you do?
5) Can you copy a human consciousness, dissect it and then ultimately only use the parts you need to solve the problem?
6) Can consciousness in the cloud still be considered human?
7) Should we do everything that is technologically possible or should we be aware of the ethical problems before doing so?
8) ...

I find the series highly topical because ultimately the tech billionaires in #SiliconValley are dreaming of this opportunity and are researching it in order to become immortal. Elon #Musk's company #Neuralink is working on #brain implants that will make it possible to upload in the #future.
