There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

A lot, I think. In my field (classics and late antiquity) it’s super clear that one way to make it tough to use ChatGPT is to focus on understudied texts. Or ones where the LLM is drawing on lots of out of date research.
Wow. This is fascinating. I wonder what other kinds of curriculum changes will happen in the attempt to circumvent ChatGPT.
I love Carey's book too, for a new reason: serial AI cheaters in my online history of disasters course couldnt use AI tools effectively to cheat, in part because ChatGPT is so Global North biased its responses were incoherent.
