People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Nothing makes more sense than you being a socialist male, trust me. But let me reiterate, no individual enjoyment of LLMs justifies the current project of building ecologically disastrous data centers to fuel their continued speculation. There is no justifiable socialist defense of doing so.

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality. This is how AI is killing translation work:

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

Full support to our fellow translators from AVTE. While not being surprising coming from such a profit-oriented transnational corporation, it is still utterly disappointing and disgusting. Using MT is a conscious 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 they make.

Ireland has had "sELf iD" for 10 years now and not one single issue that the media, government and anti-trans movement predicted has come to pass. Not one. If it works in Ireland why would it not work here? No one who opposes it can give a good answer, because the real answer is transphobia

Yes, it's long. Yes, it's complex. Yes, it's detailed. And yes, it will make you sad unto nihilistic depression. But it's also necessary to read because AI is going to fuck the planet beyond expression.

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

I am begging people, from game devs to game journalists, to regular players: Stop equivocating difficulty options with accessibility. While difficulty options can make a game more accessible as a side effect, they are are not a substitute for real accessibility options.

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

Reminder: Astro Bot didn't credit their translators, who made their game available in 28 languages. In the credits, they're given a "thank you". That's all. Would you do that for your dev team? Your graphics team? Your marketing or sales team? Shame on you, Sony.

I was once asked why so many translators are liberal, and when your job is literally to experience things from two disparate cultures and bridge that gap for mutual understanding, it is difficult to be right wing. Translation requires a deep empathy and knowing no culture is superior to another.
