I'm writing this in English.

Not because English is my first language—it isn't. I'm writing this in English because if I wrote it in Korean, the people I'm addressing would run it through an outdated translator, misread it, and respond to something I never said. The responsibility for that mistranslation would fall on me. It always does.

This is the thing Eugen Rochko's post misses, despite its good intentions.

@GargronEugen Rochko argues that LLMs are no substitute for human translators, and that people who think otherwise don't actually rely on translation. He's right about some of this. A machine-translated novel is not the same as one rendered by a skilled human translator. But the argument rests on a premise that only makes sense from a certain position: that translation is primarily about quality, about the aesthetic experience of reading literature in another language.

For many of us, translation is first about access.

The professional translation market doesn't scale to cover everything. It never has. What gets translated—and into which languages—follows the logic of cultural hegemony. Works from dominant Western languages flow outward, translated into everything. Works from East Asian languages trickle in, selectively, slowly, on someone else's schedule. The asymmetry isn't incidental; it's structural.

@GargronEugen Rochko notes, fairly, that machine translation existed decades before LLMs. But this is only half the story, and which half matters depends entirely on which languages you're talking about. European language pairs were reasonably serviceable with older tools. Korean–English, Japanese–English, Chinese–English? Genuinely usable translation for these pairs arrived with the LLM era. Treating “machine translation” as a monolithic technology with a uniform history erases the experience of everyone whose language sits far from the Indo-European center.

There's also something uncomfortable in the framing of the button-press thought experiment: “I would erase LLMs even if it took machine translation with it.” For someone whose language has always been peripheral, that button looks very different. It's not an abstract philosophical position; it's a statement about whose access to information is expendable.

I want to be clear: none of this is an argument that LLMs are good, or that the harms @GargronEugen Rochko describes aren't real. They are. But a critique of AI doesn't become more universal by ignoring whose languages have always been on the margins. If anything, a serious critique of AI's political economy should be more attentive to those asymmetries, not less.

The fact that I'm writing this in English, carefully, so it won't be misread—that's not incidental to my argument. That is my argument.

I was doing shorts long before tiktok and youtube you know. Short music though, so nothing that should rot your brain from the outside in.

Need something snappy for your next project?
Perhaps you want an indefinite loop so you don't have to think about it and can just fade when ready? No problem.
You could turn some into ring tones too if you felt like it.
Anyway, here's a collection of 180 Shorts, 1210 total items that won't cost you anything.

One click to play, one click to download, no hoops to jump through at all.
My site doesn't require cookie consent, your last five years of social media accounts, the email address you used in school you'd rather forget about, nope.
Listen, download, share and enjoy. That's it.

NEW: A group of hacktivists calling themselves "Department of Peace" claims to have hacked an office wihin the Department of Homeland Security.

The hacktivists leaked data on more than 6,000 contracts between DHS and ICE and private companies to the transparency website Distributed Denial of Secrets.

"The DHS is killing us and people deserve to know which companies support them and what they’re working on,” the hackers wrote in a manifesto.
