@yuarecold Not for long! Just on here reading about the whole Joi Ito Epstein drama on Japanese Twitter.

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

Is anyone I know still on here?

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

Whoa, there's a fire going on in Roppongi Hills.

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

For those who don't know @JICRochelle, she's THE person for Japanese business culture and just wrote her 40th book.

This one builds upon her previous work and talks about how Japanese management style needs to change in the face of the country's growing digital transformation.

If you don't speak Japanese, you can still find numerous books (in English), talks, etc. a quick Google away.

And give her English account a follow @JapanIntercult

@mesanjhs I've never had these before. Is it just ice cream in a tube?

Not only Dragons, but they are Wood Dragons and this year is the Wooden Dragon Year. Sixty years is one full circle around the Chinese Zodiac, so this is very, very lucky.

Walz is collecting on that Chinese juju he earned back in the day.

[Tracy Chou 🌻 @triketora]

random little fun fact: kamala harris and tim walz are both 60 this year, which means it's their chinese zodiac year and they're both dragons. we got a double dragon ticket here, v lucky 🐉🐉

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

@JapanIntercult Giving hope to all English teachers in Asia lol

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

HARRIS/WALZ LETS GO

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

Anyone else obsessively refreshing a news site right now waiting for Kamala's VP pick?

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

@lescoggi @OpenAI When you use the read function and it reads responses aloud

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

ChatGPT has a vaguely gaijin accent in Japanese. Specifically of the white male varietal. It's slight, but it's there.

It's pretty funny.

Go have it read some Japanese!

@OpenAI

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

@jimbudweisser @OpenAI Yeah ChatGPT has a speak function now. That’s what I was referring to. If you have it speak in Japanese, it sounds vaguely gaijin.

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

@jimbudweisser @OpenAI I was having ChatGPT read something random for me (about taxes actually), noticed the accent, then started having it say the usual Nihongo 101 things to test out the accent and have a laugh.

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

@MartinJPJP @Matt_Alt Winner by far

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

@jimbudweisser @OpenAI And hubs is a white guy so I’m not the only one who thinks it!

[Yan Fan 📍Tokyo @yanarchy]

@jimbudweisser @OpenAI Yeah, the way it says 大好き or 好��. Otherwise it’s hard to put a good finger on it but hubs and I both looked at each other and were like “are you hearing a gaijin too” 🤣 there’s something oddly American about the voice and pronunciations
