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.

AI is being used to justify firing workers at major tech companies, leaving those that remain to pick up the pieces.
AI code is being shoveled into crucial Google products, replacing trainers at TikTok, and worse.
This, in tech workers' own words, is how AI is killing jobs in Silicon Valley.

There's simply no ethical way to support Harry Potter in 2025. It's not possible. $0.20 from every dollar you give JK Rowling goes directly to physically harming a trans person and that's not a joke or an exaggeration.
