Joshua Clover's recent passing is a tremendous loss for the communist cause. Not only was he a close friend and mentor to many in our collective, but he was also exemplary in his clarity, breadth, and dedication. We aspire to be like Joshua as we navigate this world on fire.

This book is a godsend for academic workers! Read it, share it with folks who care about the fate of democracy and the planet, teach it, talk it up within organizing, union, and faculty governance spaces. It's gonna be indispensable to the struggle to build a political economy that works for all.

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality.

This is how AI is killing translation work:
AI Killed My Job: Translators
Few industries have been hit by AI as hard as translation. Rates are plummeting. Work is drying up. Translators are considering abandoning the field, or bankruptcy. These are their stories.
