"Ottawa rushes to build its own AI translator as government use of free tools soars

Demand for official translation services is falling despite a rise in content creation. As public servants turn to free online tools, the government is racing to build its own AI translator.

If PSPC Translate works for staff in the department of about 19,000 people, the tool will be used more widely. It’s the first “lighthouse project” under the federal government’s artificial intelligence strategy, meant to help the public service learn how to build and implement new AI tools and create something that can be scaled across government."

We need to be careful not to accept the paper uncritically just because it confirms what we (at least, those of us who have problems with genAI) want to be true. Check out @grimalkina's analysis: fightforthehuman.com/are-devel…

Are developers slowed down by AI? Evaluating an RCT (?) and what it tells us about developer productivity

Seven different people texted or otherwise messaged me about this study which claims to measure “the impact of early-2025 AI on experienced open-source developer productivity.

> “We are entering a world where we will learn to coexist with AI, not as its masters, but as its collaborators.” – Mark Zuckerberg

@trenner is spot on 🎯 "[They're] framing the conversation in a very specific way. Rather than “is this the future you want?”, the question is instead “how will you adapt to this inevitable future?”. Note also the threatening tone present, a healthy psychological undercurrent encouraging you to go with the flow. [...]"

The sound of inevitability

Have you ever argued with someone who is seriously good at debating? I have. It sucks. You’re constantly thrown off-balance, responding to a point you didn’t expect to.

16 yo Sofia Avramenko got 200 in biology, math, Ukrainian (197 in history)

The highest scores for university entrance

Amazing by itself

She did it living in #Sloviansk, #Donetsk

The frontline

With nightly shelling

"You would sit somewhere in the corridor or in the basement until 2:00 AM, so it was very difficult to wake up in the morning. Or I would hear drones flying, or something would start shooting or banging"

Sofia plans to be a doctor

Maybe LLMs are allowing leakage of information between parallel universes. What we think of as hallucinations could be facts in another timeline.

I know, it’s just bollocks. But it makes the hallucinations more fun when I think of them this way.
