This is so painful to watch. 60 Minutes and Sundar Pichai working in concert to heap on the #AIHype. Partial transcript (that I just typed up) and reactions from me follow:

Congratulations, Dr. Helen Dominic! It was such a *great* defense and an important dissertation! What an honor to serve on your committee 😃

Current and ongoing harms perpetrated by people who rely on AI translations. Seeking asylum? You need a talented and trained human interpreter, not AI-translation, which can make truly fatal errors when it subs out an “I” for a “we”

The lovely person recording this sentence for #Duolingo #Gaelic let out an unrestrained chuckle at the end and it was the most human thing ever. Sooo glad this made it through QA and hoping for more!! 🦔 🪴

#Linguists: Have you thought about an #altac career as a healthcare #qualitative #researcher? Here's a 🧵by Emily Estrada on what it is, what you can do, how you can find positions, what skills you need--and already have!--and more Linguistics Career Launch 🚀

Public libraries are a safe 3rd space that must be protected and librarians are superhero badasses who open up the wide world of information
