I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

We have it as a contract point that translations of my work have to be performed by actual humans, I think actual human readers deserve to have actual humans translating and making the works as excellent as they can be regardless of language
Reading so much here about skilled, deeply experienced translators being reduced to much-lower-paying machine translation post-editing (MTPE) — fixing a first-round AI translation.

Reminds me of the tremendous labor + frustration of *undoing* a bad copyedit (whether performed by human or machine)
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.

They want to turn us all into collaborators, and they want to keep us from opting out.
Today I got an email from a listener who said she wasn't going to be listening any longer because I had run an ad for ICE.

As in Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

When I was pretty sure I'd both filled out the Google form and blocked political ads from that form over a year ago.

I used to believe, as a longtime legal translator, that no one would be foolish enough to machine translate a contract. I have been proven wrong recently. I never should’ve underestimated how foolish people can be.
Microsoft copilot for Excel has a warning not to use it for “business critical” calculations because the answer may not be accurate.

Would someone explain why I might *ever* want to use a spreadsheet where results are unreliable?

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

If you or someone you know has had a translation job (including translator, interpreter, game localizer, etc) impacted by AI, and you'd like to share, please do: AIkilledmyjob@pm.me
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.
AI Killed My Job: Tech workers
Tech workers at TikTok, Google, and across the industry share stories about how AI is changing, ruining, or replacing their jobs.

Au fait, en parcourant quelques disques de ma collection, j'ai enfin retrouvé le morceau qui sample la bande originale de 기픈 밤 갑자기 – il s'agissait bien d'un morceau Frenchcore : il figure sur la compilation Gangstar Toons Industry 002 !

Interesting article on LLMs and some recent developments with this technology. There is a big need for more reasonable explanations of what is going on with everything here, at different levels, and lots more caution too. Still need to find a good article on Deepseek being banned in Korea.
I did some research and reporting to try to understand why Elon turning Grok "anti-woke" also made it into MechaHitler, some interesting stuff in the guts of LLMs. feat @theophite.bsky.social prospect.org/power/2025-0...
