Sans explication, la région IDF a ensuite écarté ce projet !
Déjà attaquée pour proposer des ouvrages sur la Palestine, la librairie a besoin de soutien ! 👇

A joke for my fellow word-tamers:

- How many translators does it take to change a lightbulb?
- Depends on the context.

Aïe @lemonde.fr,
Mauvaise surprise : votre pub est sur #FrontieresMedia.fr, à l'opposé de votre lectorat-cible et de vos standards journalistiques.
Les sites se monétisent par la pub, la désinfo aussi.
Pas sûr que vos abonnés soient ravis de constater ce financement involontaire😬

[recherche stage - journalisme]

J'ai un élève de troisième qui recherche un stage en journalisme et qui n'a pas osé venir me voir... C'est un élève curieux, qui lit tout le temps, et qui se pose plein de questions. Il n'a juste pas de réseau.
Il est de Saint Denis mais peut se déplacer.

«Pero no podéis estar quejándoos continuamente, al final os cansaréis y ganará la IA». Chache, llevo años entrenándome para esto. Puedo quejarme hasta dormido. Conozco las arcanas artes de Këji'Khoso, domino sus enseñanzas, soy capaz de quejarme a niveles subatómicos.

"Aren't you worried about AI?"
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

Hey Bluesky!
I'll lose my job in ~1 month, and I'm not eligible for any unemployment benefits. The job market in Belgium really sucks rn, so I could definitely use some work as a freelance.

If you're looking for AI-free, high quality French localisation for your indie game, I'd love to help! 👋

one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

Today also marks the 21st Anniversary of my favourite console ever, the Nintendo DS! 💫

It's where I've found my love for JRPG, playing my first Final Fantasy, my first Dragon Quest, Golden Sun, Chrono Trigger...

On top of many very creative and original games using its gimmicks!
Top 10 later...

They stole nine of my books. Nine! But why not Doppelganger? Not good enough for these mass doppelganger machines?

Still blow my mind that Black Mirror gave us examples of the worst things that could happen with unregulated tech under capitalism, and humans went like "we should make it happen for real"

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
