How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral

Machine translators have made it easier than ever to create error-plagued Wikipedia articles in obscure languages. What happens when AI models get trained on junk pages?

We need a bench of skilled linguists who have worked on corpora and treebanks applying their skills for syntactic annotation.

Attached is a list of supported languages for the first release of the bezoku platform.

We updated the list of papers we are reading after #syntaxfest - focused around low resource and indigenous language technology developments.

What did we miss 🤷‍♂️

“Why did the French chef kill himself?

Because he lost the huile d’olive”

The role of humour in language is so important, that’s why we include jokes in every corpus.

Apologies, made the wrong inference 🙄. It is a wonderful event

Bezoku @bezoku.bsky.social · Aug 28

Amazing. Bezoku is attending and not an organizer, we don’t pretend to take any credit . It is an amazing community and opportunity for learning

Bezoku @bezoku.bsky.social · Aug 28

The organizers did a great job for all 5 events

Bezoku @bezoku.bsky.social · Aug 28

💯

Bezoku @bezoku.bsky.social · Aug 28

Not sure. There are ~120 people at the event so maybe someone is putting something out

If true, extremely worrying.

At Bezoku, we believe that language technology must be in the hands of community leaders.

The unprecedented centralization of control of tech is dystopian.

We need to offer better alternatives 👊

Open source has been embraced by hyperscalers to drive innovation and level the playing field.

Open source wasn’t embraced to give up advantage—but to gain it.

After building our network in Florida, we have decided to re-locate to a country that embraces diversity, equity and inclusion.

We have enjoyed every minute in Miami, but State and Federal government is sliding towards fascism.

This is what leadership looks like.

Goldman Sachs are the poster child for meritocracy, incentives structure few other firms can compete with.

They understand that diversity in thinking is essential for durable performance.
