"The transatlantic slave trade ... disrupted societies, extracted human and economic value on an unprecedented scale, and left enduring legacies that continue to influence patterns of development, opportunity and vulnerability across the world. Recognising this history fully is essential."
It’s time for the UN to formally recognise the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity | John Dramani MahamaThis is not about assigning collective guilt to present generations. But injustice does not simply fade with time – it requires deliberate effort to address and redress, says Ghana’s president, John D...www.theguardian.com

It’s the last week to see Emergency Exits at the Imperial War Museum, which explores decolonisation in Kenya, Cyprus and Malaya and which I was lucky enough to consult on as a part of a team of imperial historians. Go and see it if you can — it’s really great!

God what a travesty. Such a terrible waste. Ridiculous policy of reassessing refugees. Just let people live in Britain!
Alasdair MackenzieThis stinks at every level. What refugees desperately need after their claims are accepted is the stability to rebuild their lives. This change will cause immeasurable stress and anxiety to some of the most vulnerable people in the country
This is a basic and crucial point for any discussion of LLMs’ use in teaching research or writing. Whether it can ape us, fool us, or get facts right or wrong is, in the end, irrelevant. The LLM is not the thinker we are trying to encourage; the LLM is not the writer that we are trying to improve.
Anthony Moseri think enthusiastic LLM use is mostly a stack of cognitive biases, unacknowledged plagiarism, and unmet needs in a trenchcoat but also my main objections aren't about them being bad at tasks so i don't care if you think they've gotten better at it
Happy to see the cover for this terrific edited volume — congratulations Margot and Brian (and thanks for all of the work you’ve put in!!)
