After Babel Fish: The promise of cheap translations at the speed of the Web

Far from a restrictive act of copying, a translator restores the meaning of a text by means of an elaborate process that requires imagination, ingenuity, and freedom. —Jhumpa Lahiri, “In Praise of Echo” [T]rust is a hard commodity to build, in any interpersonal communication, and all too easy to ruin. No one likes taking another person’s word, and yet in translation, that is literally what the reader is asked to do. —Mark Polizzotti, Sympathy for the Traitor The project of machine translation

Fed Boss Concerned About AI's Effect on Job Market

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-20 18:00:47

One of the key questions swirling around economics circles is the effect artificial intelligence will have — or perhaps is already having — on the job market. While most tales of "AI automation" are anecdotal at best, preliminary data appears to show at least some level of job market disruption for young workers in fields vulnerable to the current capabilities of AI software. Whether or not AI is actually taking those jobs is another question. Real-world performance of the software remains dre

Distillation Can Make AI Models Smaller and Cheaper

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The Chinese AI company DeepSeek released a chatbot earlier this year called R1, which drew a huge amount of attention. Most of it focused on the fact that a relatively small and unknown company said it had built a chatbot that rivaled the performance of those from the world’s most famous AI companies, but using a fraction of the computer power and cost.
