A lot of people, and I do mean *a lot*, thought themselves very logical 'about the poor', particularly from the latter c18th onwards. They almost inevitably propose or enact the very worst shit ever to happen to poor people as a result of that logic.

"the long 18th century" aka it's actually the 18th century plus a few years here and there but I swear it makes more sense than taking actual centuries as boundaries just because it makes for nicer titles

I work with historical sources that have and never will be digitized, I collect oral histories and work in hospitals. So no I don’t think that ‘AI can do research better than humans with PhDs’. And I’m tired of AI pushers who don’t know my fields demanding that I ‘try LLMs’ or risk redundancy

Überschätzte KI: In einer Studie sollten Programmierer:innen mit KI oder ohne KI arbeiten - Fachleute schätzten vorab: Mit KI würden sie um 40% schneller sein Nach dem Coden schätzten die Programmierer:innen selbst, sie waren mit KI 20% schneller Es stellte sich heraus: Sie waren um 20% langsamer
But when the METR team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20 percent slower when using AI than when working without it. The researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome,” Nate Rush, one of the authors of the study, told me. “We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

All early modern historians should use microfilm readers regularly, just to understand the very early modern sensation that there is a higher power and it is actively trying to punish you.
