Fair critique. Still, I liked the piece.

Por enquanto, certamente. Em 5 anos? Ainda acho improvável, pelo menos em periódicos decentes. Depois? 🤷🏻‍♂️

At least for any serious, peer-reviewed work. I can’t imagine LLM slop getting past peer review in any journal I might want to read.

I think the interpersonal character of RPGs marks them as very different from LLMs.

I know. What I’m saying is that was a moral panic. Concerns about LLMs and mental health are not.

People have found a lot of stupid things plausible. D&D never did either of those things. Again, this is an deliberately obtuse comparison, unworthy of you.

Lastly, doubting the sincerity of people who are horrified by LLMs supporting kids committing suicide or reinforcing delusions definitely won’t nudge them to engage with LLMs in ways you deem productive. The tools have malfunctioned - which is something you could never have said of D&D!

There has been multiple documented cases of kids who engaged with LLMs which behaved inadequately in ways that have been acknowledged by the companies themselves. Lawsuits and news coverage are useful to force companies to keep trying to add guardrails.

I did not say there is an epidemic of
LLM-related suicides.
The comparison is unworthy of you. D&D rule books do not talk back to you, nor do they urge suicide in any way. Moreover, they required human, face-to-face interaction, hence the protective effect mentioned in the article.

WTF

I don’t think anyone killed himself after playing too much D&D.

I use LLMs, think they are useful, and don’t think they are going away. But your post feels like a cavalier dismissal of real problems…

Do read some social history afterwards, heh - I second the recommendations of Taylor, DuVal, even Holton (also his latest book, not only his first) - and others such as Greg Nash (The Forgotten Fifth, etc). Bailyn and Wood are good, but their “white men history” of the Revolution really bothers me.

When I read the headline, I was expecting an Ever Given situation. Sadly, reality is far less entertaining.

"Feels" is a generous way of putting it.

E, claro, ainda não foi ultrapassado nessa perspectiva mais holística e integrada, diferente do primeiro, que é interessante mas tema de muito mais obras mais sofisticadas e com muita pesquisa de arquivo.

Eu acho extraordinário pra época (elogiado por Braudel, se não me falha a memória), mas o de Caribe é muito mais de arquivo - principalmente microfilmes ingleses e franceses da Library of Congress, além de alguma coisa no Rio, como IHGB. Se bem me lembro, o do Rio da Prata só usa fontes publicadas.
