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...

  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...

Vergil's chair.  

  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...

  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...

  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 ...

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. 

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...

Been reading my last entry about political madness. Gosh! I need to improve my writing skill. I think I need to write more on this blog to polish my English. Lol.

Some of my friends called me a Bucin, Budak Cinta (Slave of Love). It was because I'm no longer in Universitas Indonesia and I'm now working as an office worker on a corporation. I was no longer available freely to any Free/Open Source movements. All of these events was because I married a lovely woman. Well, I don't mind to be called a slave of love. I would prefer to call myself to have another calling. That is to love someone and be there for her. Let's just say, she captured my heart and I now have a new purpose in life.

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 ...

I'm not abandoning this site. There are many articles I've written since the last article that still unpublished. The nature of those articles were about rants. The problem is that all of my articles containing comments about religion. Should I release them all? I don't want to anger anyone. This site was only here to release my stress. So, I wrote anything in my mind at the moment. Oh, well, there are 120 articles left unpublished. Still undecided.

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...

There are times where we should let go, yet the feeling still lingers. To move forward is to remove all ties with the thing that we should left behind. But, sometimes people always moving like merry-go-around. What I've found about it is the lingering feeling is mostly because of the regrets. Regrets about not able to say what should be said and done. Regrets of the past actions that shouldn't be done. Regrets about the after-effects that beyond what they expected. Sometimes, people would love to undo things. Making favors for the hurted, self-punishing and seeking enlightenment. Sometimes, some may have bad luck. They couldn't find salvation because the people they hurted already passed away. Or, they are geographically separated. Or, they are no longer in communication with each other. To my surprise, these people transformed theirselves into jerks. Unaware of their behavior, they startled everyone around them. They have lost theirselves and seeking for destructi...

There is nothing more irritating than a time when you were doubted at something that you good at. And the most irritating from it is when people dictate you what to do about life. As if they were pro at it. I never once forced people to accept my way of life. Not all people have encounter life and death experience. And people who did, not all of them learn from it.  I don't want to be judgemental, but I've seen people who just being evil even after what happened. And how am I going to explain to a "normal" person about there are things bigger than life? How am I going to convince people about their lives are worth in each breath they take? How am I going to show them that working is not life? I know we born naked and die naked. All of what we have is nothing but just portrait in memory. So, I decided to always take my picture with a smile. Some people said that life is a struggle. I enjoy every challenge in my life. I chose my job. I don't even consider ...

Trap Card #13: Making a man feel special then telling him that he is just a bro. ---- Credit: picture taken from SNSD GIFs Tumblr page.

What is perfect? Every one of us has a taste of one's own accord. Some people said that lady on the magazine is pretty. OTOH, some don't. Some even don't have a heart to have so. So, isn't it a definition of perfect is when someone that we care most accepts us? How can you'd be accepted if you don't even have a confidence on yourself?

Fariz RM:"musik Indonesia dulu susah dibuat susah jg dilupakan. Skrg gampang dibuat gampang pula dilupakan" Translation, Indonesian music was hard to make and hard to forget. Today's is easy to be made as well to be forgotten. The My Simplified Response What he meant might be the Indonesian mainstream music.  Because there are lots of Indonesian music out there that aren't that easy. There are genres like Indie, traditionals, experimentals and not forget, my fave, religious. You know why religious song is my fave? There is no way you could sing a religious song with faking the feeling. It resounds in the mixing. It will be revealed whether you just freaking sing it or you go with it. And that is why, my friend, a music. You can't say all Indonesian music suck. And to all of you that produce music, especially you who degenerating Indonesian music: How could you? You were raised with great music and you repay that with presenting crap to this gene...

One of many favorite question of life is the question about "where is God when [INSERT BAD THING HAPPENS HERE]". C.S. Lewis made an interesting view from his faith as a Christian in "Problem of Pain". I recommend to have the book in English, though. The Indonesian version is quite jigsawed. The topic about bad things led people into believing few: some become skeptic, some seek asylum and some deny thinking. All with one pattern, trying to escape from the confusion. We desperately need to answer this to have a soothing lives. I myself trying to answer this within my own knowledge. Note that I based my approach from my Christian view, which may differ than you are. I don't want to be a smart ass nor becoming like those philosophers that don't touch the earth anymore. But, I think the question needs to be answered so that we can go on with our lives and maximize them. Unfortunately, not many people like to discuss this topic. I found people in universit...

Take a look at those poor IT and tell me that slavery is non-existence.
