In the #scifi novel Babel, R.F. Kuang described a world where #linguistic knowledge is industrialized and centralized just as ours began building exactly that.

Part of what makes the novel feel so relevant in the age of #LLMs is that it captures both sides of the story: the extraordinary power unlocked by turning #language and #knowledge into infrastructure, and the unease that comes with concentrating that power.

I explore those parallels here: https://benjaminhan.net/posts/20260417-babel-llm-comparison/

@Tamasg @mckensie Maybe I am too naive, but in a perfect world, we should already get going an #openSource #linguistic project to document phonemes for every language on earth in human readable and also computer readable language. That extensible library then can be adapted to any TTS we are building. Our worry will be then in tuning the voice and way of emphasizing certain words and phrases.

Today's #linguistic excursion is brought to you by Asianometry's video on the 45nm lithography process: The chinese idiom

亂七八糟 (luànqībāzāo)

- literally: unrest, 7, 8, another kind of unrest
- translated as "everything in disorder", or with the english idiom "at sixes and sevens"

The historic speakers of chinese and english had sort of the same idea here, but ended up with slightly different numbers!
