Agreed on what the actual ****.
This is reflected of a pretty fundamental failure to understand what historians do, because LLMs do basically none of my job and are completely incapable of most of it.

Moreover, a count can rule over a country, but the words 'count' and 'country' have different origins too.

I'm curious. So there was an 8.8 earthquake near Kamchatka (Russia) which caused a tsunami propagating through the Pacific Ocean. Here's hoping there be little or no victims of the ongoing earthquake cluster as well as the tsunami. However, there is also a cyclone (name of hurricanes in the 1/4

This year, we might start exploring the other side of the river, but probably not.
The (Ed) Tech Industry has made citizens believe that the problem with education is reading, thinking, and writing when the problem with education is austerity.
Reading, thinking, and writing are not the problems to be solved. Austerity is.
It feels like there's always some bullshit edtech thing making its way through academia. I remember Second Life, MOOCs, more virtual education spaces, now this. Like they know how people are using AI in educational spaces and it's not through a fucking Keynes chatbot
