Ein Mann ist in Berlin in eine Menschenmenge mit Kindern gefahren, vier Verletzte. Vorgestern schon. Habt ihr nicht mitbekommen? Natürlich nicht, war ja auch ein Deutscher. Sonst hätten wir zwei Wochen lang panisch diskutiert und hätten Soldaten an die Grenze geschickt oder wasweißich.

Der Kanzler lügt. Die Bundestagspräsidentin ist parteiisch. Die Regierung erfindet Probleme, wo keine sind und bekämpft Windmühlen als Riesen. Es gibt keinen Notstand an den Grenzen, keine Migrationskrise, keinen von 'Totalverweigerern' geplünderten Sozialstaat, keinen Linksterrorismus.

thesis supervisor said that he's optimistic that if I finish the bulk of my work until the end of February, I can submit a paper to Interspeech, and if it gets accepted there I could go to the conference in Sydney next year 🥰

Good news!!!

I previously wrote an article about Japanese apps that don't use AI and listed Satori Reader as one that is dabbling in AI images.

Thanks to feedback from users they decided to change their approach and not use AI at all. Making them 100% AI FREE!!!

@italkioffical.bsky.social idk why you thought it was a good idea to make your entire brand suddenly shift focus from human intercations to a stupid ai no one asked for, but i can tell you that you were wrong. no one wants this. just because you can put an ai somewhere doesn't mean you should.

Just opened Italki and got the new design. Absolute trash. Half the screen is a useless chatbot now. Just write a damn FAQ! And there is a second one on the same page? I did recommend Italki before, but I don't think I will anymore. The AI ads before were bad enough, but now it's borderline unusable

do you ever just look at the language you're learning and pouring all your free time in and it hits you that you'll never use it in a professional setting, you'll never live in the country, you won't even be able to travel to it regularly, and you won't ever use it for anything other than consuming-

Kann bitte endlich mal jemand Julia Klöckner die Stellenbeschreibung einer Bundestagspräsidentin geben?
Ihre Aufgabe ist es, das Parlament zu einen - über Parteigrenzen hinweg politisch neutral zu sein.

i had a conversation with bf about how much i regret being in nlp... my goal was always to work with languages, and instead i ended up in the field that is developing ai to steal jobs from people wanting to work with languages.
man the requirement for nlp jobs is really either

have 14 years of professional experience with python, java, rust and one more programming language, have developed your own architecture for llms, be the ceo of openai and speak uzbek fluently

or

speak german and english, know what a prompt is

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.

can we just collectively stop saying that israeli settlers "live" in the west bank? they do not live there. they stole the land from indigenous families, breaking international law in the process. they don't live on the land, they occupy it.
