I worry that we are in a brief interregnum during which web browsers can provide good online translation of news stories in other languages, from foreign media.

Sooner rather than later, the big tech folks backing Trump will realize they can corrupt the online translation LLMs to bias foreign news stories in favour of their own political agenda. (After all, isn't propaganda the ideal application for AI slop?)

The average home computer is powerful enough and machine learning tech efficient enough now that translation by LLM can be done locally without depending on any online services, as Firefox already does.
