I read a piece on X this week arguing there are only four ways to make money. Labor: you trade time for money. Capital: your money earns while you sleep. Arbitrage: you spot something priced wrong and close the gap. Insurance: you get paid to absorb risk other people can't sleep with. Everything else is a story on top.

I wrote recently that DTP, desktop publishing, is becoming a bottleneck in translation work. Not always, but often enough to notice.

A few weeks ago I wrote about the decision behind Tomedes' AI translation pricing: a flat $0.01 per word, no human proofreading in the default workflow, launched deliberately without knowing what buyers would actually do with it.
