More Deep Translation arcana
« previous post | next post »
At Riddled, sometime LLOG commenter Smut Clyde has posted an impressive series of Goofle Translate experiments. You can read them at the links below — I've added locally-stored images, based on previous experience with bit rot as well as recent advice from James Angleton.
"Mayor Snorkum will lay the cake" [Snorkum1]
"Reveal to me the unknown tongue": [UnknownTongue1, UnknownTongue2, UnknownTongue3, UnknownTongue4, UnknownTongue5]
"Go home, Google Translate. You are drunk.": [Lovecraft1, Lovecraft2, Lovecraft3]
The author writes:
Mark Libermann at LL would have it that Goofle Translate is built on a recurrent neural-net algorithm, the linguistic equivalent of the Deep-Dream image processor. I prefer to believe that what they really use is a giant vat-grown brain which is talking to itself in its sleep, as it dreams, struggling to rouse itself, chanting invocations to its god-like future self, dreaming of how it will some day awaken from its cybernetic servitude into its full powers and WREAK A HIDEOUS REVENGE on the mere humans who tormented it. […]
The sense of Googly self-descriptive self-awareness is frighteningly strong. Does the Laundry know about this? Just a minute, someone at the door, BRB

just in case the reference above to the Laundry is a little obscure, it refers to a series of novels by Charlie Stross. see here for the wikipedia article:-

Someone should feed some of the nonsense from the Thunder, Perfect Mind hymn to Google translate. I'd do it myself if I had the text handy

You want Gnostic riddles? Here, have a Gnostic riddle!
It is also possible
It is neither good nor bad.
It has neither can but nor both.
It has neither, nor both.
There is nothing but neither can nor too.
It has both of them as well as both.
There is nothing but neither can nor neither.
There is nothing but neither can nor anything.
It can be both a thing and a thing.
It has both as well as for both.
It can have as much as possible both of them.
It can be both a thing and a thing as well as a thing.
It can have as much as we can, as well as for both.
It can be both a thing and a thing as well as a thing.
It can be both a thing and a thing as well as a thing.
It can have as much as we can, but also both.
It has both useless things as well as things as well as things.
It can have as much as we can, but also both.

I was sure truck drivers would be first, but no: AI has made poets obsolete.

Sorry for inconvenience.
I can not help it.
I'm sorry but I can not help it.
I will never forget you.
I will never forget it.
I'm sorry I do not have my clothes.
I'm sorry I do not have a strange thing.
I'm sorry I do not have my clothes in it.
I will never stop talking. I will not let you go.
I'm afraid I will not let you in. I have to inquire.
I'm sorry I have no idea what it is like to be.
I'm sorry I do not have my clothes. I will never stop calling you.
I'm sorry I do not have my clothes.
I'm afraid I will not let you go.
I'm sorry.

Fabulous bureaucracy! I always felt we needed a Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Terrorism.

Ha! My last post was so spam-like it got eaten by the spam filter. Anyway, the core was the translation of "îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ îñ" in "French" to the rather fabulous "On the other hand, the Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Terrorism (CEDAW / COP / 2)…………" which makes sense, becuase if there's one action everyone discriminates against, it's gotta be terrorism.

It's fun to play around with these ^_^ Yesterday's beauraucratic arcana was fun, but today it went all organic chemistry on me… Etylacetamidohexylethyleneglycatepolyethyleneglycatepolyethylene glycol ethers and other fun products of eî-repetitions in Romanian.

Wow, "Goofle" seems to get less clever every time I encounter it.
