Two hands hold up a cheeseburger – Skynesher/Getty Images The quarter-pound burger has long been the gold standard in weight for beef patties. It’s one of the simplest ways to divide a pound of ground beef: in half, and then in half again. The result is satiating burgers that aren’t too big, nor too small….
Artificial intelligence (AI) is at a very Chinese time in its life. Recent moves from Chinese AI labs are throwing the dominance of American “frontier labs” such as Google and OpenAI into question. Last week ByteDance, the company behind TikTok, released an AI video-generating tool called Seedance 2.0 which produces high-quality film-like clips from text…
近期小學館旗下有性犯罪前科的旗下漫畫家「栗田和明」改名並在業界持續活動的爭議持續延燒，已有漫畫家透過 X 為事件發聲，連《葬送的芙莉蓮》、高橋留美子的所有作品也已默默的從小學館漫畫平台 Manga ONE 下架。 👉延伸閱讀：抗議小學館掩飾漫畫家性犯罪前科 《COSMOS》田村隆平主張停止連載 続々と掲載終了してる。 それだけ誤った対応を繰り返したという事を小学館、マンガワンは理解しているのだろうか。 炎上しているから、とりあえず謝罪文を出しておこうといった感じにしか、残念ながら見えない。 pic.twitter.com/ZEx3aqbXhr — たま (@tosizouzz) February 28, 2026 國會議員赤松健向此事件的受害者以及家屬致上慰問，指出小學館編輯介入加害人與受害人和解，以及讓加害者以其他筆名展開新連載等行為都不恰當，「即便考量改過自新之必要性，這些決策仍然過於草率。」 赤松健（圖片來源：X） 基本上國會議員應避免對民間企業發表意見（可能會被視為施壓），但他還是想以「前漫畫家」的角度提出自己的看法。赤松健的主張如下： 小学館のマンガ配信アプリ「マンガワン」の報道について。編集部から正式発表があったので、真実とみてコメントします。… — 赤松 健 ⋈（参議院議員／漫画家） (@KenAkamatsu) February 28, 2026 設立外部機構調查小學館 小學館近期接連爆發醜聞，從漫畫家的角度觀察，出版社的「事後應對」屢有不當，建議設立外部機構進行調查與改善。 👉延伸閱讀：日本電視台哀悼《SEXY田中小姐》原作逝世，與小學館成立特別調查小組 給予「原作／作畫」受到波及的一方補償 這次爭議的核心在於《常人假面》的「原作」，與作畫擔當並無任何關聯。對作畫而言這起風波可說是突如其來的災難，應給予一定程度的（例如機會成本方面）的補償。 從小學館先前的聲明來看，本次事件中的原作者與作畫者僅見過一次面。赤松健認為，目前業界仍缺乏一種危機意識，就是當原作者（或作畫）一方發生問題時，另一方應如何應對。 赤松健曾評論同樣與小學館有關的《SEXY 田中小姐》真人電視劇改編事件，其中提到了「對原作者要進行徹底的事前說明」以及「二次使用契約書內容過於鬆散」等，並指出漫畫業界應開始正視以下課題： 當原作或作畫其中一方發生問題時，對遭受連帶影響的另一方應如何補償…
