"The idea that the need for language and translation will be eradicated with immediate machine equivalencies is as ridiculous as the idea that our differences as a species will be similarly eradicated. Language is just the symptom, not the cause, it is our differences made manifest. In the end, these differences cannot be eradicated, they cannot be killed, or flattened, or simplified, or ignored, or hacked, only translated. And lucky for you, we are still here to do that."
