This appears to go quite a bit beyond scraping data.

As an SAO fan, yeah I fully agree. Reki does not seem to care or have a clue about video game design. But despite having an interesting worldbuilding premise, the series is 100% character driven. Which probably also explains why the tie-in games are single player.

The European Parliament on Thursday voted in favour of temporarily allowing companies such as WhatsApp, Microsoft and Google to continue to scan private chats for signs of child sexual abuse material.

Note "voted in favour" here means "voted with a majority against, but the commission forced some bullshit that would have them need an absolute majority and it was the day before holidays started".

Wenn eine Lektion keine Konsequenzen hat, dann liegt die Schuld auch beim Lektor.

Wir können uns über Amerika nicht mehr lustig machen. Zwischen der IFG Abschaffung und jetzt dem hier ist unsere Regierung zu 100% in Trumps Fußstapfen getreten.

Just as having a drinking age never stopped those under it from drinking.

Yes it absolutely does.

Author: Michael Lydick. I'm guessing his middle name is Claude.

How do you inflict a mass casualty with encyclopedias and electric motors?

"Sir, our model has caused several explosions around the globe resulting in hundreds of thousands dead and people rioting against us."

"No! MY PROFIT!"

(I wish I could add an /s.)

Atari still exists??

Okay, so it was in dialect. I honestly would not have expected translation programs to be able to do that at all. Or are Finnish dialects actually written language? In German they aren't, but there are books written in a phonetical way in dialect, so there may be something for the AI to reference.

Nantucket. You're Ishmael and you're finishing the job, no matter how many whales you need to butcher. With cards and dice. And sea shanties.

Is this supposed to be a meta comment to show that machine translation can't help us read it?

Edit: If it is, well DeepL manages a pretty coherent translation:

Yeah, I feel the same way. All the fancy stuff in this field—those sub-rhythms and whatnot—aren’t really a solution at all. Just yesterday I learned that even the pros can’t always get the grammar right, even though I thought they could. I messed around with this a little, but I couldn’t really figure out how to make it work! That part at the beginning sounds like total crap, but it’s actually pretty funny to listen to and watch.

I'm guessing "sub-rhythm" should be "algorithm" and "pros" probably means software and not people. The last sentences could use some more context. But otherwise this sounds kinda logical.

Now Google Translate…

Yeah, I'm so sorry. All the fine things in this world, but those little things and the like, don't solve the problem. Yesterday, I just didn't study properly, I thought so. That's a little bit of a huastelloopi, and it's not good for you, but it's not a big deal! Kuukkels, that's why it's always fun to play with the balls, it's just fun to play with the balls and the girls.

…yeah.

And people saying things like that wonder why nobody wants to talk to them. Thanks for providing a great example in the failings of the education system.

A rule that isn't enforced is a rule that doesn't exist. No matter how many words are written on a paper.

If they can ignore it it's not a rule.

Ja, ein Abo zu bezahlen um mich durch 90er Powerpoint Präsentationen zu clicken lasse ich tatsächlich sein. Ich bevorzuge dann doch sowas wie dies hier, wo das Hauptaugenmerk nicht darin besteht, mich so lange wie möglich auf der Seite zu halten.

Laut Impressum wurde es von der GFF erstellt und geleitet, nicht nur in Auftrag gegeben. Schon von deren Juristen, ja. Aber die wichtigste wissenschaftliche Fähigkeit ist nun mal die verständliche Vermittlung von Informationen, und das fällt auf die Organisation als ganzes zurück.
