I teach Modern Japanese Literature and Media at Waseda University.
Ha mort Higashino Keigo, l'autor més popular de misteri del darrer mig segle al Japó. Mai no vaig entendre per què les seves novel·les no tenien més èxit a Espanya. A la Xina i Corea també ho petaven.

A hill I will die on: The purpose of the humanities is to study and think about what it means to be human. The decline of the humanities is the decline of humanity.
Asheesh Kapur Siddique@asheeshks.org · 3mo agoWhat does a university have that Google cannot offer its workers? Art History departments, Classics departments, History departments, Music Theory, etc. The humanities are what distinguishes universities in an AI economy. Universities defunding the humanities are digging their own graves.

Commentary: AI translation of literature should be questioned because literary translation requires human interpretation and cultural understanding that machines cannot provide.
Lost in AI translation: What’s at stake? Our humanity.
Literary translation is one of humanity's most crucial tasks — one that should never be left to the machines.
