Which is to say, I am already plotting a short story in my head.

Or like (Southern) Rhodesia becoming independent…….

Tell me you haven’t heard of the alter-globalization movement w/out telling me you haven’t heard of the alter-globalization movement. Or the zapatistas. Or the sanctuary movement. Or Greenham Common.

My field was digital media, now its history. But i’m an independent historian. Both are fields LLM is hoovering up data from. The only thing I use LLM’s for is oral history interview transcriptions. Which still needs checking, but it shaves off 3 hours of work.

Yeah I am no longer in academia but if i was I wouldn’t use LLM’s, like I don’t use them now for the historical research i’m doing.
