Il est important de documenter la rapide dégringolade de @artefr.bsky.social tant sur ce genre de prises de décision que sur son absence de prise de décision sur d’autres sujets (comme la couverture du Hellfest). Elle traduit une déconnexion et un mépris d’une audience savamment draguée auparavant.

"La langue de l'Europe, c'est la traduction", disait Eco. En ces temps incertains, j'ajouterais "la traduction humaine." @artefr.bsky.social a connement choisi de faire sous-titrer ses programmes par l'IA, par un groupe 🇺🇸 (=les subsides 🇪🇺 vont dans les poches 🇺🇸) www.mediapart.fr/journal/econ...

So, a company that enables ICE, with a co-founder believing in the antichrist and the other publicly claiming they're "incredibly happy" and "proud" to "disrupt and on occasion kill people". But I'm certain this is only for the good of Belgium and the EU, there's no way this could ever backfire...

OVER A MILLION USERS DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT EVERY *WEEK* what the fuck are we DOING here

Pendant 20 ans, on m’a dit que pirater les œuvres des artistes c’était le mal absolu et que ça allait détruire la culture, et maintenant on me dit que oh bon, les IA génératives, qu’est-ce qu’on y peut, hein, les gens vont s’en servir de toutes façons.

Ah, yes, the WiFi. The new "it's not me, it's the controller, bro"

LiveAI demo fails on the first prompt at Meta Connect 2025. #Meta #AI #LiveAI

🚩Machine Translation is far from “solved” - the test sets just got too easy. 🚩 Yes, the systems are much stronger. But the other half of the story is that test sets haven’t kept up. It’s no longer enough to just take a random news article and expect systems to stumble.

Stefano@sted19.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Our new #EMNLP2025 paper is out: "Estimating Machine Translation Difficulty"! 🚀 Are today's #MachineTranslation systems flawless? When SOTA models all achieve near-perfect scores on standard benchmarks, we hit an evaluation ceiling. How can we tell their true capabilities and drive future progress?

Congratulations on the launch of Silksong, @teamcherry.bsky.social! However, it is a shame to see that the care with which the game was crafted does not extend to the French localization, which is riddled with errors. (Descriptions of the mistakes provided in the ALT text.) (1/3) #Silksong

And the wait is over! The workshop proceedings are now available on the @aclanthology.org! Check them out at aclanthology.org/volumes/2025...

Very important and interesting contribution on MT in localization, featuring extensive work with actual translators on real translation projects. Definitely worth reading!

Dans la septième puissance du monde, des bibliothèques universitaires, asphyxiées par l'austérité budgétaire, sont obligées de la faire la quête pour obtenir de nouveaux ouvrages. Choose France !

Who could possibly have predicted that..? Almost as if there was some sort of undue hype around LLMs
