Locked down again for two days (?), because of a positive case in our compound. The gate is flooded with people bringing reasons to leave — work, school, an operation in the hospital — but none of the 3,000 people that live here are getting out.

Me too, but I think we're already doing what @DrFantinuoli suggests as a solution. Training professionals on problem solving skills, embedding adaptability in our programmes, focusing on holistic learning, etc. xitter.cf/dorrego/status/1538923…

Imagine a world where AI do not want humans to translate their work because they fear that humans do not understand the nuances of their thoughts and feelings. #translation #translationstudies #machinetranslation #digitalhumanities
