AI VTuber

IMHO, we are at the age where human existence in the virtual world is one of the consciousness. As Jean Baudrillard said, we are now at the age of Hyperreality. I believe vtuber is a part of consciousness of a human behind. Although at this stage, it is part of a role play, a kayfabe by someone. As mentioned by Zimbardo in Lucifer Effect, roleplaying when done repeatedly becomes part of that person. The roleplaying affects the real world. The persona played by the person behind becomes the part of the person itself. That's why the character becomes someone. There is an "id, ego, and superego" that becomes the character's engine. How can AI replace that engine? This part needs to be tackled by AI first. The AI needs to be able to "hallucinate", or generate random factoids, with a consistent manner. Being someone like that, it needs to be fed with the right input. Human beings the super group of sensors is constantly build its knowledge by the input from those...

Creepy Nuts - Bling‐Bang‐Bang‐Born

  If I can say one thing about the state of Japanese music, it would be one thing: boring. They filled their songs with royal road progression and math rock-like rhythmic. You might find them fascinating and interesting at first. However, when you have 20+ years listening to Japanese songs, you can see the progression is stuck there. Well, every pop thing happening in the world is industrialized. The boringness is not exclusive to Japan. Every industrialized music will face the same issue, a highly produced checklist song. That changes when this song comes. This song is very refreshing and innovative. It's a good luck for them to be in the Mashle session 2 opening soundtrack so that many people, including me, can discover this great song and their artistry.  Don't get me wrong. In a world infested with industrialized art, many genuine artists with their own style exist. The problem is we don't know them and the search for them is a bit exhausting. Music is personal and not ...

PT Hung-A Exits and The Narratives Created

  A Tyre manufacturer, PT Hung-A Indonesia, just laid off one and a half thousands of its employees . The company was running in 33 years. Many speculations arose surrounding this big company's exit. Let's put the facts first. PT Hung-A Indonesia is moving to Vietnam. The closing of Indonesian manufacture is an exit strategy to move the production to a Vietnam's factory. Why making such move? They were sinking. The production line is no longer profitable in Indonesia. They couldn't make the tyres that the client wants. The tyre manufacturer was waiting for import license. They couldn't make another plant. They need to import more components. They were waiting for that permission . TBH, I couldn't blame the government for why the permission was not issued. I have no data to back up the blame. May be there was something that was not permitted. Now let's go discuss the BS analytics! One of the rumors created was because the labor cost. So many comments on the I...

2023

 A new year. Indonesian president already stopped the Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement (CARE), or PPKM in Bahasa Indonesia, since 31 December 2022. We are now no longer in the era of restricted activity. Well, the implication should be more than that. I mean, CARE comes with the obligation for Indonesian government to support all COVID-19 patient. So, now the government should no longer have obligation to fund all COVID-19 patients? And,  is there anything interesting for 2023? I guess happy new year.

#My2C for Iofi - Kagome [Cover]

  I tried to search for video reaction in YouTube for this song. I can only find a reaction from Studi Suara . He brings the technicality for the voice acting in this song. He talks about Legato and legit stuff about singing. Well, here my two cents about this song. This is a raw song! Get it? A raw song! First, I agree with Studi Suara that the song should have a higher note. The song originally was sung by a man, so I think it should be wise to have it a little bit higher note. A higher note can force her to let that raw emotion out. At least if I was the producer/sound director(?), I'll ask her to try higher note.   Second, for a song with raw emotion as a theme, I also agree this song is too flat. However, instead of vocal aspect, I think I can say that the production itself is the problem. I don't know why current music production trend is so full. This made even singer voices getting compressed. Not much space is given for micro-legato or any imperfection. You won't...

Ode To

Hi, Bro. I started playing this again. My old account was gone. It was wiped somewhere in the Google Play account sync. I don't know in which phone.  Now I'm on a new account using the same name. However,  You are no longer in my friend list like everyone else. I don't remember my last rank. I don't even remember my build for this hero. I remember your last message was asking me to play this game again. At that time, I was engrossed with that new game, Genshin Impact.  Sorry. Should've abandoned that RPG earlier and went back to MLBB with you. And now.... I don't know how to call you again. How to get you to play in my team again. My roster is empty, and I can only play solo.  I know that a welcome will ends with goodbye.  Yours is too fast. Just sayin'.... Hi Franco player, here's an ode to you from an Aurora player. Regards.

Redemption is upon you

  Generated from https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/jcdkoa7nueexO4YwyC3x A man found out accidentally that his lover is cheating. He's been married with her, a stunning woman who kept him 6 years without playing around.  He himself is an attractive man. In his past, he slept with many women. His co-workers even loved him. Because of that sus, he started playing around with them. According to a case result in Japan, in the event they get divorced, the man potentially wins the case. He is fooling around with many women thus not having a real heart into it. The spouse is dedicated to her swimming instructor.  I just read until the chapter the husband chokes the wife. She was accidentally let a moan while on the phone. No, she wasn't accidentally moaning. She was on the bed and already stopped the deeds when the husband called. However, the partner seemed getting jealous and poked his thing deep while the wife was on the phone, ready to close the call. Just a split sec...

VTuber

  Generated from https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/2KR1yHqvqHwxXSo3kTbA Currently I'm amazed by a trend to make a podcast with an anime-styled avatar. The phenomenon referred as VTuber  is using a 2.5D style. The avatar is 3D glued on 2D background. Their content usually around singing, playing games, and chat with their viewers. As they do that live, they would connect to live payment method that will display something when people donate. In Indonesia, this culture is called "sawer". A culture that would tip the performer live. That's why, for Indonesian, this Japanese imported scene is not really alien. After I dig deeper, I found out that there are two types of affiliation. The first is a company setup that is called Vtuber Agency. The example of such agency is Maha5 and Hololive. And, to my surprise, there is also the guerilla type that called themselves independent. Personally, I'm not into these Vtubers because their design is not really original. I ...

This is because our brain selective memory. This drug created by our brain to remedy stress so that our emotion can handle the suffering. Life is suffering. Sometimes we think of why not God gives us iOS instead of E16 desktop . Too many choices with many consequences. We don't know how to run. Life is altering. My friend often said that people who stay at their job are often people who don't think themselves highly. They eat of what their boss spit on them. They don't innovate, just work to have money on the table. Making big decision is scary. That big jump takes a lot of faith. It is intangible. But... Who knows about your company tomorrow? Who knows the fuel and the economy tomorrow? Yes...

Glory

I also thought to myself, “It is   for the sake of people,   so God can clearly   show   them that they are like animals.  For the fate of humans   and the fate of animals are the same: As one dies, so dies the other; both have the same breath. There is no advantage for humans over animals, for both are fleeting. Both go to the same place, both come from the dust, and to dust both return. -- Ecclesiastes 3:18-20 We know Hammurabi as a king who formulated ancient codex of law. However, did we found out those whom helping him, inspire him?  We know Alexander The Great conquered the land. Did it ever found out who put the sword into the heart of the enemy's general? Who was the one that landed first time on enemy's fort safely? Nobody knows. Even the kings can only be figures vaguely remembered by their history and myth, not one is their true. A child is a jewel to the parents. Blessed with love, growing up well. Once becomes married, Mom and Dad is now p...

Bus Mania

https://www.facebook.com/groups/457620199352897/permalink/468882948226622/ There is a trend in Indonesia where people love to follow and take video of bus traveling. Those people often get called as maniac by other people. The reason is because their dangerous behavior driving motorcycle without honoring the law.  They will spot a bus and will take convoy to video the bus. The dangerous thing is they often drive on the blind spot. Also, they can take all the road making all other vehicles can't get through them.  There is also a trend in Indonesia that loves to listen buses and trucks horn. They will wait on the side of the road where buses or trucks usually passing through. They will call out to any bus/truck, "Om! telolet, Om!"  which translate to, "Mister! Honk your horn, Mister." Strange addiction. 

Zombie Among Us

It has been two years I work from home. In that time, 90+% of my time was spent on homes. Yes, I'm one of the scared ones. I was once a sceptic. However, many of my close relatives died. I then reassessed my beliefs about Covid-19. I was scared because the number of my close relatives made me think that our genes were on the vulnerable side against covid-19. However, many people survived from the virus.  There were reasons why they survived.  The original variants was weak. Only after the Delta, the virus became deadlier. Some people had the best fit. At the time they were contracted, their body could handle the infection. They were lucky. Some people that lost their jobs tried to deny the virus.  Some crazy zealots tried to persuade their people by watering down the covid-19. They enforced the belief that God was more powerful than covid-19.  Hah! Did they not think that God was letting the virus out? Did they think God not powerful enough to close the floodgate? I ...

Jakarta Flood

This is a picture of Cikampek highway on Tuesday. The picture taken from elevated road that leads to Kalimalang road. The part flooded with water is entry point to enter the highway. It usually never flood. This year, however, we have several flood incidents. Which is weird! We usually have 5 years cycle of great flood. Once every 5 years there would be a big flood. What makes this year special is we got great flood more than once. Usually, we got a big flood once and that's it. Now, however, every heavy rain guarantee flood will happen. The biggest hit were on Bekasi, Jakarta's neighbor. My friend got his car flooded up to the roof. His neighbors also got the same. They were unprepared.  Their area never have flood before. It seems something change. There were constructions everywhere. This makes some water flows stopped. The epic thing is there are cases of elite housing made their neighbors getting flooded. It seems the developer didn't build the necessar...

Laugh at Misser

Believe it or not, we are more desensitized by the Internet. We can now laugh at dark jokes. Jokes that would be inappropriate in real life. We can now laugh at these bad days. However, can this made us psychopathic? Thank God, we still disconnect from Internet. We still feel that Internet is a simulacrum. We can differentiate which is in the Net and which on the real life. We can joke about it anonymously on the Internet while behave on the real life. We still have generations of people that older and have traditional value over these wacky Internet culture. At least, we would be warned if we leak some of the Internet culture. But, what about the generation after us? The one that grew up with the Internet? The one that spend most of their time in the Net? We might think the real world is different because our conscious is not integrated with the Internet. At least, we grew up in an offline world. We still have moral compass taught from real interaction and tra...

New Ministries under Jokowi 2nd Election

Jokowi already made new team to lead Indonesia. So many surprise. Lol. The big surprise is Wiranto no longer in the Coordinator of Politics, Law and Human Right Ministry. After his stunt of getting stab and exagerated the story, nothing happened. I'm not against him or anything, but I hate many sources tell different stories about that. Like many, I'm doubting that incident as staged. Meh... I don't dwell too much into that. I think the new law about KPK (an adhoc departement specialize to combat corruption) is what we need to get attention. The revision of KUHP (a Napolean law that still used in Indonesia since Dutch-Hindi age) that contains so many flaw and rubber. I don't like that Yasonna being a Law and Human Rights minister again. It seems Jokowi don't listen to the recent student protests?   May be some political deals happens behind the public. I don't know! I'm just glad that Mahfud MD kicking Wiranto out of office. I hope he as the former...

Free Speech

This site is not dead yet. But, I'm more hesitant to talk and publish the entries. Indonesia is more sensitive than before. I see sometimes gives "you-know-who" info that obfuscated to the public. I don't want to start a polemic. Jokowi was elected as a president without any back up from any senior parties. He is like a startup company disrupting status quo. This also comes with a price, he have a weak leg in Indonesian politics. Sadly, because of that, he comes to the Generals. Thus, you see names of former-military heads on his cabinets. More over, his former-military ministries had red mark some Human Right issues list. Hmm... may be. I'll just write spiritual messages? Lol.

My Phone

I love customising my phone. The first thing I'd do after buy a new one is to unlock the phone. Then, I'd install any of AOSP/LineageOS (Android free version) on it. I don't like the original software. They full of bloatware that bogging the phone. Besides, the modding community could also provide some interesting features that would eventually becomes a norm. The first benefit I would have from the custom ROM is actually longer battery life. I usually couldn't survive a day with original. But, with custom ROM I could even get a day and more. BTW, I just downgraded my ROM from Android Pie (9.0) to Android Nougat (7.1.2). Why? Because it seems Google abandoned the MirrorLink ® . I think with the  ® on it, I can understand why Google decided to ditch it and go with Chromecast solution. Nougat is the last that have MirrorLink ® ability. This is sucks because most of modern cars and TVs have MirrorLink ® on them. So, Android phone with newer version of Android  woul...

Perspectives and Fear

Black Panther is an ongoing film with so many things to discuss. People often talks about Black movement et cetera. I find it interesting to dissect the characters, especially the lead and the antagonist. T'Challa T'Challa was an African descent. Raised in the protective world of Wakanda. As a Wakandan, he was born with the original environment. He would only see every other African tribes as his neighbour. It is natural that he would have a view like the view of a Scotsman would to an Englishman. He would feel distinctive between his five tribes with the Zulu and the Ethiopian. They are not being viewed as brothers, but as neighbors that could possess national threat. For me in Indonesia, it is like Indonesian and Malaysian would feel at each other. Both country would sometimes bring national issue and try to be hostiled at each other. We would feel that we inherit different cultures. The language, national anthem and so on is different. While at it, Indonesian was free ...
