I believe him, I also believe that Nintendo has secret rooms of deaf kids somewhere. No clue what they'd use them for. But if the news broke that someone found a dungeon owned by Nintendo full of deaf kids i wouldn't be surprised.
Man, I miss Nintendo's Iwata/Reggie age. Those guys had vision beyond just endless profits.
Well the shareholders can't have that. It gets in the way of their endless profits.
Would be useful for accessibility test
Mostly recreational purposes I assume
If Nintendo was based in the US I'd have included that possibility in my post above.
Under delivering yet again Sean. I want my deaf children!
They are great for stress relief. You can yell at them all fuckin day.
Acknowledged! Dead children will now spawn in your game as requested. ...you weirdo.
📸🤨
it's crazy to me that for all the ai "advances" in the past few years nobody has thought to improve subtitling.
Poor deaf kids. Not because they're being held captive but because they're relying on shitty automatic captions.
For example, Czech was only added very recently and the captions really suck, they change the meaning of most sentences and even include spelling errors.Everyone making scripted videos should at least:
- go through their script to convert it into a transcript (match what's actually been said – looking at you CGP Grey – and remove visual cues)
- upload it for YouTube's auto-timing (which is not perfect but we'll take it)
Too bad the FCC's captioning act is toothless, even TV stations (like HBO) uploading their content to YouTube don't bother importing captions even though they're legally required to.
I’m sure they have… they just aren’t currently incentivized to do so
My student friend tells me that the auto-generated captions for non-English MS Teams lecture recordings recently have improved significantly and have even become usable.
not for my language. they are hilariously bad.
I had a lecture for an aerospace class a few years back. What the professor said is "what is a perfect gas?" - what the caption software produced is "what is a prefect ass?"
Captioning is hard, man...
It's even worse for captions.
Captions and subtitles aren't even the same thing.
In fact, most DVD players don't even pass the code captioning through HDMI ports, so old captioned DVDs don't work anymore.
i too watched that technology connections video
explain.edited with explanation. i've seen the technology connections video, thanks.my comment is still about the actual post above, and i was specifically thinking about auto-generated subs rather than, say, movies. apparently that's not obvious.
Sounds like what someone would say if they were hiding deaf kids.
greedy nintendo hoarding all the deaf kids to themselves
OH, now we're too high and mighty to have a deaf kid closet? Fame changes people.
Fucking woke bullshit. (/s because someone is gonna think I'm serious)
How has speech to text gotten so bad. Dictation and keyboard taps are just going to hell with AI.
The AI bros refuse to even allow proof reading and corrections.
I've never had voice commands work right for my speech. Something I had to demonstrate every time my friends ask why I won't use the speech commands on their TV.
Speech interpretation just doesn't work for everyone and I personally refuse to alter how I speak for a computer.
Aaron? Iron urn?
AI will take over the world /s
It has, it's just stupid.
It literally already has. I don't know why you expected it to look like terminator.
WHAT?
Found one.
