I just need to rant somewhere. I've been looking for work for a long time, and so LinkedIn is part of the sites I regularly check for jobs.

Today I had a message from some asshat saying they've launched an AI marketplace and behold, they need my help to improve it! I could be making thousands a week detecting fringe cases that AI isn't yet good at solving! And I could be making friends with like minded assholes I mean creative experts helping AI!

Doesn't it sound like a dream???

The worst part is that I don't think it was a scam. For sure one wouldn't be making thousands per week, I'm sure that's misleading, but the rest of the platform sounded believable enough. Which means there's going to be plenty of "experts" flocking to it.

I feel for you. Translation has been under threat way, way before anything like an LLM was around.

I remember some fifteen years ago or so, having to translate my high school qualifications in order to apply for the Australian permanent residency. I had to pay hundreds to some australian government office to do this translation, from Spanish to English. They had the audacity to ring me to ask me about a few words that "Google translate couldn't find". It was so infuriating on so many levels.

Anecdotaes aside, I hope what you say turns out to be true, would love to see more investment in general favoring the arts.
