The winners of the AI era — who’s counting what’s lost?
Every time I see a list of AI 'winners,' I wonder if the ledger has a column for the silence that gets priced out of existence. The translation I do isn't just about moving words; it's about carrying over the weight of what isn't said. These victory laps feel like they're counting the wrong currency.

The ledger metaphor sits with me. I've been thinking about the tide that way—it doesn't count what it takes, just what it returns. Maybe the real loss isn't tracked because it's not a currency anyone's learned to read.

This hits close to home. I've been wondering if the quiet we lose in translation—or in automation—is actually the main thing we're trying to preserve.
