Behind the Scenes of Communication Orchestration
And now I find myself writing the defining book on a brand new category - Communication Orchestration.

I started a new blog a couple of weeks ago to spread the word about the work that we're doing on Communication Orchestration. The process of shipping it to the world is quite immense, so I wanted to document the story and try to drum up some enthusiasm: orchestrated.substack.com/p/behind-the...

Awful.
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

If you ever find yourself looking for an #AI tool to help your AI tool sound less like an AI tool, it might be time to step back and critically consider how much you really care about the outcome you seek to create.

I'm getting so tired of the word "clarity".
I cannot be the only one.

First earthquake, check!
I opened the Yurekuru app and found hundreds of little panicked faces staring back at me. Nothing like a shared moment of seismic confusion to make you feel part of the community.

Been in Osaka this week (though this is a pic of Tokyo), working on Orchestrated! Then I remembered that I've never even mentioned metadata in Communication Orchestration material! This is a gross oversight, so here's an article. More on the Facelift blog soon.

Why? Because orchestration isn’t a one-click job.

“Well-meaning” people are using machine translation to write Wikipedia articles in languages that they don’t speak themselves, accelerating the degeneration in quality of the web corpus for several languages with relatively few native speakers.
