An insult to the incredibly complex and nuanced work of translators.

The 2025 Frankfurt Book Fair heard that developments in AI audiobooks mean publishers will no longer have to decide whether to translate a book, but instead just choose which market to translate into 👇 #FBM25

Mange eldre føler seg utrygge pga. ståmopedene: "Hun hun prøver å unngå uforutsette bevegelser, i tilfelle det plutselig kommer en elsparkesykkel bakfra." Enig i dette, merker at jeg stadig vekk ser bakover, og at jeg ikke tør gjøre noe annet enn å gå rett frem! www.aftenposten.no/oslo/i/Mn4md...

To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.

Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity.

Norske medier skriver ikke så mye om Sudan, men vi skriver en hel del om hvorfor vi ikke skriver om Sudan. Det påstås det er vanskelig, men stemmer det? Her er noen tips til bedre dekning av det som er verdens største humanitære krise akkurat nå.

“I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing,” as the from SF author Joanna Maciejewska memorably put it, “not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.” These stories show what happens when it’s the other way around."

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

If it isn't ChatGPT, it's Claude or Copilot or Gemini that they're trying to shoehorn into higher education.

Nobody involved in actually educating students asked for this, and it does a disservice to everyone involved in the actual educational process — students, teaching assistants, & instructors.

Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · Sep 15

This technology is so clearly designed to profit off cheating and struggling students--its insidious. And yet universities keep announcing how they're allowing this company into its midst, to exploit and incapacitate our students even more

A photo from Jamie Keller Davis for the NYT: a color photo of a Chicago skyline showing three buildings photographed from street level. The one in the center has brown brick-like walls, and a very large poster advertising ChatGPT. The poster shows a conversation between a hypothetical student and ChatGPT: "Can you quiz me on the muscles of the leg?" "Can you build me a first time marathon training plan?" The text at the bottom of the poster reads: "ChatGPT Plus is free during finals.

Dette er ikke så viktig i det store bildet, men sånne småting irriterer meg: Aftenpostens USA-korrespondent presterer først å si at "En footlong er en... sandwich hos kjeden Subway." Men en "footlong" er jo bare en lang sandwich, den må ikke være fra Subway www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/e...

It is here. McCarthyism 2.0. Wrongthink now gets you on a list that is openly trying to liaison with the government (which has already said it will be doing similar work in the weeks to come). The list referenced below now exceeds 100,000 people. People on the list are already getting death threats.

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.

Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

Both sides!

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

If we transported 2025 Charlie Kirk back to 2012 he would have been widely considered the most vile and contemptible human being in politics, worse even than Limbaugh. That he wasn't in 2025 is a testament to how much of a permission structure for gutter racism the right has built.

Kirk didn’t debate out of some spirit of democracy or whatever. He did it to expand the Overton window, so that the humanity of marginalized groups could be seen as being up for debate. His “change my mind” schtick was a sham: he was never, ever willing to change his mind.
