Yes MemoQ, this is how languages work, now leave me alone

They stole nine of my books. Nine! But why not Doppelganger? Not good enough for these mass doppelganger machines?

Bill Clinton should take one for the team and say it's real, especially if it isn't

Still blow my mind that Black Mirror gave us examples of the worst things that could happen with unregulated tech under capitalism, and humans went like "we should make it happen for real"

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

That sweet feeling when the character-limit for the translation is very tight and hard to work with… But your client is Belgian, so you can translate “phone” as “GSM” instead of “téléphone” 😌

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

Pros of being self employed: I can play Fields of Mistria all day instead of work and no one can stop me Cons of being self employed: I've played Fields of Mistria all day and no one stopped me

Dargaud, Dupuis, Casterman... Les gros éditeurs de BD lâchent le festival d’Angoulême, à deux doigts d’un effondrement généralisé Info Libé de @mariuschapuis.bsky.social à lire ici ⬇️

La magie de l'IA... Quand une seule Bretagne ne suffit pas, pourquoi ne pas en rajouter une?! (Et ce n'est pas le seul problème...)

any translation publishers out there willing to share how many pitches they receive a year on average?

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

Job alert: the University of Illinois Library is hiring a Humanities Librarian to serve as liaison to African-American Studies and English Literatures. I’m sure someone here would be a great fit for this job—& we’ve got a pretty phenomenal community here Please share!

there are only two reasons to commute: either the place you live is shit (no jobs) or the place you work is shit (too expensive). "Things are not shit enough" is a very confusing position

Je vote pour, et on fait pareil pour les traduct·eur·rice·s et les aut·eur·rice·s. Et pour tou·te·s les autres qui sont en train de se faire piquer leur taf par l’IA.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

We're sad to hear of the death of David Bellos, a wonderfully witty writer, professor, translator and judge of the 2016 International Booker Prize.

"Being told a video game was made with only “0.3%” LLM use is like being handed a glass of water that “only has” a single drop of urine in it. [...] I won’t feel comfortable drinking it—let alone trust you on the actual piss-to-water ratio."

Hey #gamedev please don't make me play your game for a #gameloc job. It takes way too long, and I will miss stuff. If you need me to play, PAY ME and give me cheat codes. Else, screenshots, reference material, and answering my queries will suffice. Also, please don't make me play your game.

Today I am definitely a nine.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

I have done it. I have attained peak silliness in my Game Boy RPG. It's all downhill from here... #GameDev #GBStudio #Retro #IndieGame #GameBoy #PixelArt #8Bit

What??? People don't do that outside of France?

Je viens de recevoir comme il est si fréquent un appel soit d'arnaques soit de vente agressive sauf que là c'était par IA. J'entendais un décalage minime entre ce que je disais et sa réponse. Je me suis donc amusée à creuser, à essayer d'avoir des infos sur son utilisateur, tentant un prompt hacking

Par ailleurs : "Les machines savent produire des traductions de mauvaises qualités, mais pas au point d’être inutiles. Et l’offre de cette version médiocre est si importante qu’elle fait baisser les prix et les salaires"

Et les conditions de travail.

|PUBLI| Comme toujours, les dispositif "argent de poche" organisé par les municipalité sont de véritables arnaques. Au SMIC net, une demi-journée de travail avoisine les 35 ~ 40€ , pas 15 balles par-ci par-la sans cotisation ni assurance

Quelqu'un a essayé d'envoyer Georges-Louis Bouchez à Matignon ? Je pense qu'il sera l'homme de la situation

L'explication la plus plausible à tout ce qui se passe depuis 5 ans, c'est qu'on soit tous morts pendant la première vague de Covid.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

une fois lettré, c'est encore mieux.

Sloppers polluting communities killing trees killing insects and killing the earth bc we decided as a world that thinking just a little bit every once in a while is tooooo harrrrrrd 🥺

Quand on vous dit que L'IA générative est l'outil des fénéants et des tocard, c'est ca. Les mecs ont prit le pognon, de l'argent public, pour faire un taf' et il ne l'ont pas fait. Il ont fait faire le taf' par chat gpt et ils ont tellement pas bossé qu'ils ne l'ont même par relu avant envoi 1/2

Les partis de gauche, on vous regarde là ! C'est pas le moment de vous enfermer dans vos aventures perso et/ou à surjouer les divisions, auquel cas vous serez co-responsables avec la Macronie de l'ED au pouvoir. On est à un point de bascule historique : soyez à la hauteur, sinon nous chutons tous.

My boss is asking me to use ChatGPT to "create a custom puzzle for the company" It would be so fun to make it myself but nooooo we of course have to use the Earth-destroying machine to make a piss-colored puzzle

I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon

People should start dressing up like children’s cartoon characters and then ICE can get on camera beating up Elmo or Waldo.

What is all this drama on Bluesky about? Why do people want to leave (again)? I have a job so I didn't follow any of it

Potichat à la rose

Why is my "Translation" feed full of garbage "translation apps" powered by AI?

Les petits mails mignons du soir ça fait toujours plaisir 🥰
