Comment Re:There is real value in translators (Score 1) 11

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.

Submission + - Namecheap takes down domain hosting video archives of Israeli war crimes (neosmart.net) 1

Devar writes: Namecheap.com, the popular domain name and webhosting platform, has taken over the Genocide.live domain name, which was home to a publicly accessible archive of over 16,000 videos documenting alleged Israeli war crimes, the vast majority of which were recorded since the onset of the war on Gaza in late 2023. The archive, formerly known as TikTokGenocide, was previously submitted as “evidence on the State of Israel’s acts of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza” by the South African UN delegation to the United Nations Security Council in February of 2025 and is also included in ongoing court proceedings of the International Court of Justice case South Africa (et. al.) v. Israel.
