- Comment on How does Netflix, HBO and other services get their subtitles? Are they now using AI to help translate? 1 month ago:
Weird I had this conversation with my wife last night while watching Andor. Some of the subtitles come up for only half a second or are lagged behind the dialogue.
It reeks of Ai rubbish and would have been someone’s job previously. Not the most glamorous job I’m sure but still better then digging holes in a paddock.

Have I got some news for you,
Im Australian aboriginal and grew up in Northern Australia.
Our uncles used to call us little niggers when we were young.
When they were kids just after we were recognised as Australians and allowed to vote people would refer to them as niggers too
Ironically no one cares about the word the way Americans do
It also means Brown in French
Furthermore here’s a Monash university excerpt with a link to the whole thing for your consideration
“case was brought by an Aboriginal man in relation to the name of a spectators stand at his local football ground -the ‘ES “Nigger” Brown Stand’. This name was displayed prominently on the stand and in addition was used in frequent announcements during football matches at the ground. The decision records that the stand had been named (in 1960) after a local football identity, ES Brown, who during his childhood in the early 1900s acquired the nickname ‘Nigger’. The decision also records that ES Brown was of Anglo-Saxon descent. In the view of the applicant, the word ‘nigger’ always carries a culturally racist meaning and there are no contexts in which it has a neutral or nonderogatory meaning.58 In this case, the respondent led evidence from other Aboriginal people to the effect that they were not offended by the name of the sports stand. The Federal Court judge hearing this case determined that the use of the word ‘nigger’ in this context did not have any racist connotation or message.59 After articulating that s 18C called for an objective test, the judge determined that the use of ‘nigger’ here was not ‘reasonably likely in all the circumstances to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate an indigenous Australian or indigenous Australians generally."jO Graycar’s work prompts us to ask how the judge formed this (objective) knowledge, particularly in the context of the conflicting opinions expressed by the complainant and Indigenous people called by the re~pondent.~’ By what processes and mechanisms did the adjudicator here come to this understanding of the (reasonable) Indigenous response to the use of the word ‘nigger’ in this context” classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/…/2.pdf
