Vote Green and give this bigoted fascist, and the bigoted fascists-lite in the Labour Party, a reality check
Are you appalled that the Reform candidate here in Manchester, Matt Goodwin has said ‘young girls’ should be given ‘biological reality’ checks? And has said that there should be a “negative child benefit tax” on “those who don’t have offspring”

When Musk said the "cumulative sum of human knowledge has been exhausted" for training AI, what he was really saying is that he would not pay for digitisation, and had reached the limits of useful data he could scrape for free. The GenAI house is built on sand.
Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized.
And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.

it's literally impossible for an LLM to do a historian's job
it's not even LLMs sucking it's that they need data input to do anything and where's that data supposed to be coming from without historians
never met a computer that can dig through a thousand year old book in a library

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I think politicians, political operatives, and pundits should read *more* political science, not less, and in particular enough to understand that empirical patterns (e.g. loss of presidential party in midterm years) are equilibrium outcomes but not self-executing laws of nature.
Niche take — we need donors and practitioners to stop reading about empirical political science findings to make sure we’re not creating weird recursion in the system.
