Deep breath Ok I'm going to try and stay calm But I'll point out that AI translation is literally causing translators to be fired (see the whole Harlequin line in France) (1/?)

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Though understandably most readers focus on depiction of survivors, for me, "What makes someone a perpetrator?" is an equally compelling question that is not often discussed in these kinds of narratives. It's why Chiang Liu is one of my fave Towei narrators; his POV is essential to the story

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free. When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech Link: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

This report ‘…reveals a prison system that has normalized abuse and neglect, suppressed dissent, and violated both international and local legal standards’.

I remember ages ago now, Canada passed a law where importing any artwork that could be construed as underaged art was illegal. Saw someone get their copies of Bleach confiscated at the border. Saw a guy be tried for sex crimes for importing an onahole. Saw doujinshi sellers disappear from cons.

If you're Canadian, please sign this! You'll have to confirm your signature via email but for good reason--this is a petition sponsored by an actual member of parliament. These petitions can lead to actual meaningful action here. Doesn't take very long, please add your support!!

Also people keep asking me if I find AI translation helpful in my work and AI TRANSLATION IS NOWHERE NEAR COMMERCIAL QUALITY and NO I DON'T EDIT AI TRANSLATION BECAUSE IT'S MUCH FASTER FOR ME TO JUST DO THE ACTUAL TRANSLATION THAN EDIT CRAP because PAINTING CRAP WITH GOLD DOESN'T TURN CRAP INTO GOLD
