Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes

Companies that rushed to replace human labor with AI are now shelling out to have IRL workers to fix the technology's screwups.

Delicious. We love to see it.

Ultimately, she spent 20 hours redoing the copy from scratch — and with her $100-per-hour rate, that meant her client was shelling out $2,000 for copy that likely would have ended up being far cheaper had a human just written it in the first place.

I love stories like this.

The job market is ROUGH rough right now. This Slime Girl I know, she's not found a single opening in high level zones as a boss fight, so she decided to settle for midboss, but there's not even midboss openings right now. Her statline is huge, but she had to settle for random encounter... In a beginner area.

We were hanging out yesterday and she kept complaining not just about the humiliation of having to be a beginner area random encounter, but also about how her whole thing just doesn't work against weak opponents: She steals moves from the party and then uses them against them, but she's only stolen dogshit beginner moves as of late, and it's getting to her. She stole [Aimed Shot] from a beginner Archer. [Aimed Shot]. Yeah I sure fucking hope you're aiming if you're using a bow. She also stole [Shield Bash] from a Brawler. Congratulations, you are using the shield as intended. She just up and left when she stole [Heavy Slice]. Didn't even give them loot.

She used to steal moves like [Earthborn Sun] and [Philosophy Of The Scorned], we NEED to do something. Her moveset sucks.

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

i feel like i'm constantly yapping to ppl abt how scummy natsume is but it's truly bc this can't be summed up in 1 sentence. like.

they localized a series of games from 1996-2014 with a consistency in errors, bugs and awkward wording. my favorite game under their english translation had japanese and german lines fall through the cracks. their english gets choppy and confusing whether you're fluent or not.

after the 2014 split, TO THIS DAY all they do is use their rights to the "harvest moon" title to pump out their own series with the primary purpose of tricking consumers, to the point of hurting bokumono's sales.

theyre granted legal rights to continue using footage from the bokumono games they localized for advertising & are profiting off of official emulated ports. they pretend bokumono's anniversaries are their series' anniversaries to rake in more attention. the natsumoon games are famously Not Good and make people think the series just went downhill, and not that theyre buying a copycat that just owns the title.

like. they could be doing. fucking anything, yknow. but no their entire existence til this point and their brand's main identity hinges on never moving on from the popularity under badly translating really nice games. idk how to tell people more concisely that theyre living off of a legally-protected scamfest. copyright is a lie

Wait why is youtube now putting an ai button on videos that’s like “tell me what this video is about”??? Do they think we’re too stupid to watch video now?

[plaguedocboi]

Like is the pitch at this point really that we should be relying on ai to do our jobs, make our art, make our music, do our homework, do our chores, research for us, write our papers and emails and texts, summarize all our books and videos and movies into a single sentence, strap a chatbot to your physical body so it can tell you how to respond to people in real life, replace therapy and friends and partners, think for us, do for us, exist for us, and this is being sold as “convenience”? Wow ai saves me so much time! It’s so nice to have something that can live for me so I have more time to *checks notes scribbled on hand* uhh. Sit and stare blankly at a wall? I think that’s all that’s left really

Hey - call your reps ASAP about invoking the 25th amendment to remove Trump from office due to incompetency. We called today and within 30 minutes one of our state reps made a public statement in support of it.

[carriesthewind]

Call them and demand something. We cant just stand by.

this page should help you find ypur congressmans contact. an operator put me through to his mailbox (its 9pm where i am) and i left a deeply unrehearsed message asking him and his colleagues to invoke the 25th amendment.

if i can do it you can too. it doesnt have to be good. just try
