I keep reading in current translation literature that we need new theoretical frameworks because genAI has made translation an extended process, and the unit doing the translation has now become a socio-cognitive and -technological entity. Can you understand my frustration when I read that?

Verrückter Fakt des Tages: #vfdt Bei visuell-räumlichem Denken ist normalerweise die rechte Gehirnhälfte dominant. Man könnte daher meinen: Gebärdensprache wird eher rechts verarbeitet. Das stimmt aber nicht. Genau wie bei gesprochener Sprache sind die Sprachzentren in der linken Gehirnhälfte aktiv.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
