It’s talked about because Israel’s genocide is being done with our support and our weapons, and that support is clearly because of bribes and blackmail.

That’s why I specify that everything should be verified in a later comment. My point is that LLMs when properly guided are better than other automatic translation service, while hallucination can easily be avoided with proper prompting.

Also worth mentioning that there’s massive difference in user generated translations already, some of it is well meaning while other, like in Israel’s case, isn’t.

I translate a lot of stuff for my work, and I don’t have any problems when I instruct it properly. I’m also there to verify. I don’t have to deal with hallucinations ever, mostly just changing a word or two because I don’t like how it sounds (it uses overly complex words at times).

This is more about certain users being shit and either not checking their work or doing work they have no place doing. They would exist no matter what they use, it’s not the tools fault.

Tbh, I work in research and we would never use Wikipedia for anything. We can’t quote it and anytime I find a good tidbit on it and try and find the source, I usually get dead link or just something altogether false which doesn’t represent what the user wrote. Probably highly dependent on the subject though but the sourcing isn’t very rigorous.

Bless them though, it’s an amazing site and they are still doing a stellar job considering how big it is.

An acceptable benefit?

Whatever is used, I think nothing is going to be 100% and everything should be verified by a native speaker. It is Wikipedia afterall, not some blog.

Non-LLM services are worse in my opinion but it probably depends on the language (LLMs probably struggle with certain languages as well).

I mean, you can test it yourself if you speak more than one language. If you ask for a direct translation and stress not to add content or change the text, it will do a very good job. Translation is a use case where LLM really shine.

I feel like this sub became “technology bad”. Nobody wants to think and would rather just dogpile.

They could just paint the lines the other way so people park going forward instead of backing up, or just replace them with regular perpendicular parking spots and actually add to the bike lane or add trees. So dumb.

All you have to do is ask for direct translation and it does it fine. This is plain incompetence.

That being said, I’ve noticed there are wild difference between articles depending on the language. Mostly, it will be added content in the home language (so the article in French about a French city will have much more info) but sometimes, especially when it comes to Hebrew and Israel, you will get different conflicting information.

They should have implemented checks for this a long time ago.

“On September 29, 2025, it sent him … the chatbot pretended to check it against a live database.

I usually don’t give much credence to these stories but this is actually nuts. If this was done without Google aiming to, imagine how easy it would be for them to knowingly build sleeper cells and activate them all at once.

Edit: removed the quote since an other user posted it at the same time and it’s a bit of a wall of text to have twice.

If the final product isnt the raw output from my understanding. The current laws are there mostly to stop the whole thing from turning into copyright mills.

In the same way Disney owns the copyright of what their workers made.

I understand nuance and I understand what you are trying to slip in as well. You are justifying genocide. It doesn’t matter who started it when Israel escalated it to killing, starving and displacing an entire population. It was never even close to self defense.

Israel is defending itself so hard, it’s crazy. Their ratio is like one defense missile straight into a refugee camp per day. It’s mostly civilians getting wiped but clearly, Hamas was asking for it.

That’s what you mean, right?

The Dogeration

We can do both.

Well in this case, Casey is literally an LLM bot so it’s probably propaganda. Check their modlog.

I agree to some extent. I might be more reserved, I just can’t imagine telling anyone I work with I have a crush on a fellow coworker.

I still like joking around with them and I do have more of a manager than a boss as well. I get what you mean.

I would definitely wait to see how their date goes I guess. Tough situation, good luck!

Well I try to stay away from any work relations personally. It sounds like he’s innocent about it more than anything. People usually don’t share that info specifically because of situations like this. I think it’s fine to go for it if you properly like her. I’d ask her to keep it out of work and keep it as a kind of secret relationship at least for the beginning, but he’ll hate you even more for it when he does find out.

It kind of sounds like he’s got puppy dog love going on. I only know a bit about the situation but I feel like she isn’t going to jump in his arms the moment you back off or something. I definitely wouldn’t feel bad about it.

There’s other things to think about. Are you technically her boss too? That might affect the office gossip.

I’d seriously ask myself if he actually asked her out and she said yes, or if he’s basically trying to preemptively stop anything between you two when he noticed she likes you and guilt tripping you.

Dating coworkers is a mess even without the whole situation though. Confiding your love affairs to your boss is such a red flag though. No one does that.

Maybe we can meet halfway and target billionaires instead?
