Important short text for our syllabi: The "flattening" of history by AI bots, and the loss of nuance when looking at sources. Excellent little piece for all interested in history - #histmed #histstm

Sehr interessanter, kurzer Artikel, der anhand eines Fallbeispiels die Gefahren von GenAI für historische Quellen & ihre Wahrnehmung darstellt. Wirklich lesenswert, da es Verzerrungen & Halluzinationen inkl. deren Ursprüngen klar einordnet. Bitte nie ChatGPT & co für Quellen benützen!

A weird German word in academic circles is Selbstzahler. When conferences organise dinners (or drinks) but expect you to pay your own way. But then again, I remember a wedding do in the UK with a cash bar. The same idea, different context.

Switzerland raises, on average, 25% import duties on agricultural products. For cheese, meat & vegetables often in excess of 100%. Consumers pay this, and popular votes regularly confirm the pillars of protectionist policies. Info from here (in German): www.avenir-suisse.ch/blog-zollfes...

An old dream - to see the NHS as a stop-gap solution until prevention and community health solve all problems. It failed before, and it does not take a rocket scientist to predict it will fail again. The real irony is how little the health secretary knows (or indeed cares) about history.
