Introduction thingie! I fell into a cauldron full of video games when I was but a fledgling and became an English to French translator. Over the past 5 years, I've worked on really cool titles, some of which you can see on the second picture.

I'm preparing to publish the next installment of AI Killed My Job. This time, the focus will be on translators.

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.
