Dr. Susan Jones will be discussing the issue of the moment in her talk AI in Translation: Friend or Foe? I think you know my stance, but clearly there is always room for more exploration. ijet.jat.org #IJET33 #Translation #xl8 #翻訳 #LLM #AI

The IJET-33 fun continues! Thomas Kaiser will be presenting on patent translation, a topic that I know nothing about! I do know Thomas, though, and he's pretty awesome. This is sure to be valuable to people exploring a difficult field indeed.

Another IJET-33 promo, and, well, it's me!
I'll be speaking from a place of frustration and confusion, but also truth, about why and how we can say no to the LLM-based destruction of our work and value as people.

Lots more sessions to check out at IJET-33 in Fukuoka, like this one from Lisa Hew about promotion as a freelancer/small translation business. Lisa's had years of experience at doing just that, so new translators would do well to follow her lead! ijet.jat.org #IJET33 #Translation #xl8 #翻訳 #通訳

Another exciting IJET 33 session is this one on literary translation by Japanese superstar Echizen Toshiya @techizen.bsky.social , complete with real case studies (in Japanese). 「出版翻訳という仕事」を個人的に楽しみにするSessionです。越前先生の豊かな経験がら色々学びそうです。 #IJET33 #xl8 #Translation #翻訳 #出版翻訳

IJET 33 is kicking off with a bang, as two translators who worked on the hit series Shogun will be discussing how it all went down. 『SHOGUN将軍』翻訳チームの翻訳者２名が2025年5月開催のIJET-33に基調講演者として登壇、大規模な国際プロジェクトに取り組んだ際の課題や経験について講演します。メディア翻訳者さんが得に気になりそうです！ ijet.jat.org #IJET33 #Translation #xl8 #翻訳 #通訳

I will be giving a presentation, Rage Against the Machine: A Case Against LLMs, at IJET-33 in Fukuoka (May 9-11, time TBD) about why not to use these bullshit engines in anything intended for humans to read.
There will be cursing, and not all of it by me!
Reposts welcome!
