Generative "AI" is actively making the world a significantly worse place to live (more and faster than any technology before it, including high-sulfur coal, CFCs, and leaded gasoline) and anyone using it is contributing to that. In addition to being disgusted at their actions, we should also pity them due to the frightening speed at which they lose their ability to solve problems and think critically (after just minutes of use, not weeks or days or even hours, *minutes*).

A well developed game based on this (per the end of the quote) would sell well: this and destroying oligarch bunkers and megayachts. Make the main playable characters a bunch of retired and disillusioned SF operators and intelligence case officers.

Start the plot with them rescuing abducted relatives of theirs or of active duty friends’ from the Stephen Miller’s Klan Force, then extracting justice against the worst state-supported terrorists among said Klan. That necessitates the characters going after surveillance infrastructure used to track them, and then AI infrastructure used to fill in surveillance gaps, and then the oligarchs building that infrastructure.

Supporting characters can be brought into one’s party along the way, as when encountering characters facing imposed drought or unaffordable electricity.

The play style, depending on role, should be something like GTA or MGS meets various Modern Warfare games. The plot, depending likewise, should be something like Equalizer or Bourne meets The A-Team or 13 Hours.

If a Hollywood studio produces a spin-off, and it succeeds, the political mission of the game would be all but accomplished. “Abolish” would then be rightward in the Overton window of what a big chunk of the culture would have been collectively imagining. Meanwhile, financial returns can be used to fund legal cases against Miller’s Klansmen.

I’d volunteer AppSec and infrastructure work for such a game’s development, or if that’s unneeded, I’d buy the game for myself and friends.

Human translators manage good #translation because they comprehend the original text, know its intricacies and can actually creatively write to preserve its gist. Context is more than the surrounding paragraphs: it includes the cultural and social background, other books, etc. Sometimes it literally involves getting hints from the author. And in the end, it is deeply personal. It can't be "accurate", because no two people are the same, and no two languages map 1:1 (though the interpretation will also differ between different users of the same language); the best you can do is add translator's notes.

LLM translators manage good translation because they've been fed tons of human translation work, and quite often they manage to match an original human translation and plagiarize it. They may even seem better because they seem to manage it without sufficient context, but that's only because they've found a human translation that had that context already.

Or, well, technically they can also regurgitate something that makes sense only in the irrelevant original context.

What a fantastic turnout yesterday! We think we may have doubled our numbers from the previous protest.

The organizing team is recovering and debriefing, but expect to hear from us soon. It's time to get even more organized.
