For the @halifaxexaminer.ca, I wrote about the federal government launching its own AI translation service, our credulous minister for AI, and how we are deskilling and undervaluing labour in the name of progress (with a nod to @techwontsave.us).

AI translation is not better than human translation. But it provides an excuse for attacking labour under the guise of progress.
