The long-awaited return of Lagiacrus is at last upon us in Monster Hunter Wilds Free Title Update 2. The legendary Leviathan isn't alone, as Seregios sinks its talons into the Forbidden Lands...
They arrive alongside Layered Weapons, a host of improvements and more on June 30!
For the record, I think it's that way for me because 1) The topics in her works are not appealing to me, I like fiction focused stories 2) Her writing is too complex, or complicated(? for my reading level

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the South Korean author Han Kang “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.”
A Korean character is formed by combining consonants and vowels in various ways. So one way to corrupt a character is to add an unnecessary consonant (e.g. ㅅ). The resulting combination is so unnatural to Koreans that they can automatically undo this change.
This is character-level distortion, and we can do it at the phrase level, sound level, and so on. People came up with various methods, which I found so interesting that I used this to demo our new model o1-preview, with the following example sentence:
“직우상 얻떤 변역깃돋 일끌 슈 없쥐많 한국인듦은 쉽게 앗랍볼 숫 있는 한끌의 암혼화 방펍잇 잊댜. 몹음꽈 짜움위 따양한 편환우로 읨민는 윶이함면설 푯먼적읍롬 댜륵케 포위계 많둔는 빵씩잎타. 윈공진능 몹뗄들됴 헷걀리께 만둘 쑤 있닳.”
Linguistically this is gibberish. Traditional machine translators or language models like GPT-4o can't read it. Our new reasoning model o1-preview successfully reasons through this to crack the code.
It tries out a few different methods, many of them not successful. But o1 is incredibly patient and tries to take cue from the unsuccessful reasoning paths. Eventually it gets to the key insight and solves the problem.
I hope this demonstrates how general reasoning skills are and hopefully will help solve your problems!
Honestly tired of all those YouTubers/TikTokers who sensationalise or mischaracterise issues in Korea and then go viral. Especially problematic when by certain diaspora creators who are perceived as having special insights, when in fact they sometimes orientialise Korea the most.
