Last night in the #EPlenary @d_boeselager was probably the first MEP ever to use generative AI to write his speech. #1nt #CAI

For a look behind the scenes, a 🧵

Since early September I have worked in different RSI settings. Some more polished than others. These RSI experiences may have changed my views on RSI compared to 👇 thread in March. Time for an update. #1nt #r1nt #rs1nt #remote #WFH Let me first briefly share what types of RSI setups I have worked in. I’m sure many colleagues will be having different experiences. I’d love to hear them and read your views on how you see this evolve.

I really have a problem with this narrative that interpreters have been reluctant about #r1nt because of ideology. It sounds very dismissive of interpreters’ concerns regarding #r1nt.

There are many serious issues with the former while I see opportunities and some issues with the latter. /2
