Prof Tracey Hill
@tracelarkhall.bsky.social
Sweary prof, iconoclast, and non-league football nut (Larkhall Athletic FC 💙). Lives in early modern London; citizen & Founder. Bossed by cats. I mean it about the swearing 🤬
You'll be amazed - AMAZED - to hear that Simon Jordan was on GB"News" defending Ratcliffe

It's become a ridiculous part of commentary on PL football. I speak to referees before and after games every week, unlike most PL football supporters.

That's very interesting. Non-league referees have nothing like the same skills/experience but are not subject to media interest and the like. Human error, yes; conspiracy theories absolutely not.

@essexuni.bsky.social alumna here - and I'm no longer proud of that association. Shame on you, Essex. All that radical past, ruined.

The vast majority of the records from *the capital of the UK* haven't been digitised...
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

Would be good if the Prime Minister and/or Home Secretary would for once come out and describe this as the unadulterated racism and xenophobia it so clearly is.
