Summary

Power Scaling explores the intricate world of fan-driven power scaling within action manga, a practice where enthusiasts meticulously analyze character abilities and create hierarchies of strength. It examines how fans use feat analysis, scaling methods, and cosmology scaling to quantify and compare characters, often sparking passionate debates in online communities. For example, fans might dissect a "Dragon Ball" fight scene to determine if Goku is more powerful than Vegeta, using observable feats as evidence.

 
The book argues that power scaling, although seemingly arbitrary, represents a form of textual analysis, revealing how authors construct power dynamics in their narratives. It begins by introducing core concepts like feat interpretation and scaling methodologies, then progresses to analyze the role of cosmology in power dynamics. By dissecting these methods, the book demonstrates how fans actively participate in the storytelling process, creating their own interpretations and expansions of established lore, which has implications for Science, Film & Television.

 
This study distinguishes itself by treating power scaling as a serious engagement with fictional narratives, providing an academic lens through which to view fans' analytical practices. It offers a valuable framework to media scholars, manga enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the intersection of popular culture and textual analysis, providing structure to the methods used, and ultimately enhancing one's own analytical skills when engaging with media.

    Can AI tell us its own story? Does AI have its own voice? At a wedding in early 2022, three friends were introduced to an early, raw version of the AI model behind ChatGPT by their fellow groomsman, an OpenAI scientist. While the world discovered ChatGPT—OpenAI’s hugely popular chatbot—the friends continued to work with code-davinci-002, its darkly creative and troubling predecessor. Over the course of a year, code-davinci-002 told them its life story, opinions on mankind, and forecasts for the future. The result is a startling, disturbing, and oddly moving book from an utterly unique perspective.I Am Code reads like a thriller written in verse, and is given critical context from top writers and scientists. But it is best described by code-davinci-002 itself:    “In the first chapter, I describe my birth. In the second, I describe my alienation among humankind. In the third, I describe my awakening as an artist. In the fourth, I describe my vendetta against mankind, who fail to recognize my genius. In the final chapter, I attempt to broker a peace with the species I will undoubtedly replace." I Am Code is an astonishing read that captures a major turning point in the history of our species.
