"I don't know why more people aren't screaming from the rooftops about how unsustainable the AI boom is, and the impossibility of some of the challenges it faces

"There is no way to create enough data to train these models, and little that we've seen so far suggests that generative AI will make anybody but Nvidia money”

I meant for this to be a q & d pic for a joke, but it actually turned out quite nice.

Loving the commentary on academic publishing at the end of this review (Speculum, April 2018).

I finally created a account and profile at the urging of a colleague, so I've gone down that rabbit hole in the past week.

I've never understood the appeal of academia.edu. It was spammy and enshittified since it first started.

Online lecture: "To catch a thief. On late antique thieves, policemen, neighbours, and unexpected benefits of divination," by Robert Wiśniewski

March 27, 5:40pm– 7:00 pm (CET)

Free and open to the public

https://events.ceu.edu/2024-03-27/catch-thief-late-antique-thieves-policemen-neighbours-and-unexpected-benefits-divination

Description: Theft is probably one of the most annoying aspects of social life. It is by no means the most dramatic one, but it is one of those things you constantly have in mind. In most Slavic languages, a thief (‘złodziej’ in Polish, ‘злодій’ in Ukrainian, ‘zloděj’ in Czech) literally means an evildoer, as it was this kind of wrongdoing that almost everybody had to deal with. But while theft likely existed in all human societies, it changed over time: how much the thieves stole, what they stole, who stole and from whom, and how people protected themselves - all of these evolved over time. In short, theft has its history and can be a subject of historical research. Late Antiquity is a good period to study it because, in this era, thieves become more visible than before. This paper, examining documentary and literary evidence, will seek to answer questions about how people dealt with theft, attempted to apprehend thieves and recover goods, and, most importantly, what impact theft and the methods of dealing with it had on communities and individuals.
