i686-powered lia<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@dbat" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dbat</a> That's a good question, too, that I cannot readily answer.I started studying <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ComputationalLinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComputationalLinguistics</a> (<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/CompLing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompLing</a>) in 2018, way before that whole <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> thing overtook the entire field and reduced all of our previous work to irrelevancy (which I am very angry about).My degree is where I got most of my knowledge about the technology from – our field outright invented LLMs, and I work on language-related machine learning, too.(1/4)

i686-powered lia<a href="https://bildung.social/@bpaassen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bpaassen</a> For what it's worth, it's something that even a lot of us students are concerned about, at least among my local <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/CompLing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompLing</a> peers.We keep reading statements in "reputable" publishings that even to our Bachelor's degree eyes are clearly unsourced conjecture and scientifically speaking utter nonsense.Offensively unsourced sentences like "over the last years, LLMs have developed a deep and intuitive understanding of human culture" really make me worried for the future of our field.

Lianna🇬🇧 Hey there!I'm <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/newHere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newHere</a> at the Localization Café. ☕I have been working as a freelancer for some time, translating and localising what mostly ends up being <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/videoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#videoGames</a>. My language pair is <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a> and <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/German" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#German</a>. Outside my <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/freelancing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freelancing</a> work, I am a <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> and <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/compLing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compLing</a> student who is currently finishing up my dual degree.In the future I would like to work as an in-house localisation worker in the <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gaming</a> industry; fingers crossed, since <a href="https://localization.cafe/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> is a difficult field to get into! :)

i686-powered liaI entered the <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ComputationalLinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComputationalLinguistics</a> field in 2018 by enrolling for a Bachelor's degree.Since then, a lot has changed. Almost all the things we learned about, programmed in practice and did research on are now nearly irrelevant in our day-to-day.Everything is <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLMs</a> now. Every paper, every course, every student project.And the newly enrolled students changed, too. They're no longer language nerds, they're <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> bros.I miss <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/CompLing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompLing</a> before ChatGPT.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linguistics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/llm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#llm</a>

i686-powered liaI can't help but feel dirty when attending my <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/compling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compling</a> classes.We're enthusiastically toying with LLMs and text-to-image generators from an excited, academic standpoint. The technology is REALLY impressive and my linguist heart is blooming.I obviously keep having to think about the environmental and social impact of so-called "AI".

Nick MWhen I started in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ComputationalLinguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComputationalLinguistics</a> / <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NLProc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NLProc</a>, some of the stuff with word embeddings and topic modeling felt like kind of a stretch re: what we could do with language models, but at least the formalisms were interesting and it felt like there was an effort to treat it as exploratory and not "hey language models understand language!" Now it feels like the field has been co-opted by all the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MathyMaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MathyMaths</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TESCREAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TESCREAL</a> bullshit, and I so desperately want to get back to real <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CompLing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CompLing</a>
