Je suis enragé. Après un été de sécheresse et d'incendies gravissimes dans toute l'Europe, certains font mine d'être surpris par l'incendie dans les Fagnes, un des pires qu'a connu mon pays, la Belgique. 3000ha d'une réserve millénaire partis en fumée.

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.

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...

Just received the most amazing news to end the year: our 'GLITCHES' project was funded by the FNRS! It'll focus on uses of LLMs in creative translation and creative uses of LLMs, with an aim to highlight the effects on the teaching and practice of translation. Stay tuned for 2 PhD calls very soon!!

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.

🚩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.
