Comment Re:There is real value in translators (Score 1) 21

Last versions of ChatGPT are pretty good at it even for Japanese and Chinese to English translations.

It also is worth mentioning that ChatGPT V4 was so good at generating "women's romance novels" on the fly with the AI boyfriends, that when V5 came out and was way less flowery and affirming in its language, there was a massive movement of women to bring V4 back. They got it too.

I.e. V4 was very, very good at not just translating, but writing this sort of stuff from the scratch already.

This was a case a couple of years ago.

About a year ago, LLMs got really good at translations. They get most metaphors, and they're decent at writing.

Lately, it's probably on par with average human translator and way better than best "localizers". This is why you now find a metric shit ton of Japanese and Chinese games on Steam, and you can track translation quality vs time scale and LLM used. ChatGPT v3 were meh. V4 was ok. V5 is getting pretty good. And that's the general model for very different languages.

English and French are very similar, so much easier to translate.

I'll do better. Searcg fir large shipping ports in PRC and how they work. Those are almost infinitely more complex in terms of logistics than just mere truck hubs.

And they're rapidly approaching near total automation at this point.

Americans wouldn't know about this because you have longshoremen union that keeps your ports utterly archaic.

Son, you can find this shit on AMD brochure at the time. They went all in to advertise that "new way to do multithreading". They really through it would catch on, just like inter thought P4's idea of "just fucking single thread maximum megahurtz" would work.

Both companies had to reset and go back to basics after those stupid misadventures where they tried to reinvent their CPUs. And both succeeded.

And I have zero company loyalty. I've owned CPUs from both AMD and intel. I've owned GPUs from ATI/AMD and Nvidia. I literally do not give a fuck about which company is the one that makes the best thing. I just want to know which thing is best so I don't buy a P4, or a Bulldozer, or a geforce FX and end up with a shitty product.

Hell, I owned a slot A Athlon of all things. It was great, kicked the shit out of P3.

My mind works in concepts. I.e. I'm one of the people who doesn't visualize "an image of an apple" but a "concept of apple".

That makes my memory also work mostly among the lines of concepts. I couldn't tell you any of the addresses. But I can tell you the concept of design of the network.
