The reasons we consider plagiarism to be cheating in school and malpractice in professional contexts are many of the same reasons that LLMs are not going to replace all knowledge-based human labor. (Details left as an exercise for the reader.)
And yes, a whole lot of what LLMs do •would• count as plagiarism if one of my students did it manually, and •should• count as plagiarism just the same if they use a machine to do it — not just in a “that’s cheating!!” sense, but more importantly in a “that’s not really doing the work” sense.

Is it possible to achieve environmental justice without justice for laborers in the Global South? Can we apply Western notions of environmentalism to Latin America? Why are workers’ lived experiences so often left out of conversations about resource extraction and allocation? Dr. Pablo Lapegna’s University of Georgia class is examining these questions in a display at the museum titled “Fiber, Food and Fuel: Mexican Environments, Labor and the Taller de Gršfica Popular.”

Alberto Beltrán's lithograph "Grinding Sugar Cane" shows a worker crouching to feed cane into a trapiche, a mill used to extract the juice that beomes sugar. In the background, a mule walks in a circle to power the mill.

In the bottom left corner, a logo reads “The Godfarmer” with a hand descending from its top border to manipulate marionette strings, imitating the logo for the 1972 classic mafia movie “The Godfather”.

Popular Front recently did a piece on the current conflicts in Ethiopia:
popularfront.substack.com/p/ev
It's a good primer for anyone who's unfamiliar, but is definitely lacking if you know any Ethiopian folks or pay attention to much news out of the Horn of Africa.
The interplay between authoritarian liberal nationalism, as represented by Abiy Ahmed and his government, and tribal federalism , represented by various tribal factions, reads to me very similarly to the liberalization of Europe (enclosure of the commons, a push to sacrifice ethnic identities for nationalist ones, etc). Like the liberalization of, say, France, it's a lot more complicated than "old thing bad, new thing good."
Liberalism was violent and authoritarian. It often sacrificed leftists. Liberalism's focus on borders and national identity led directly to pogroms and Nazism. Similarly, liberalization of Ethiopia has led to genocide and ethnic cleansing.
People think of "the terror" in France as a leftist thing, but it wasn't. It was a Liberal thing, centrist extremism, carried out against right and left.
I understand that tribal federalism is also not a good system, but I don't have a ton of depth so I'm not going to try to explain it. During the European Liberal revolutionary period of 1848, ethnic minorities would often side with some monarch or emperor against liberalism out of fear of liberal nationalism. It makes sense to support a system that's bad if your other option is a nationalism that erases your identity.
But even in Europe at that time, anarchism offered an alternative but that alternative often also drew from simply a different branch of liberalism that also suppressed culture and identity. Today the world is different. Democratic Confederalism offers a solution to *exactly* this problem, tested for more than a decade in Syria and developing now in Myanmar.
But the cross pollination between Syria and Myanmar in terms of fighters really made the ideological cross pollination possible. I don't think anything like that is happening now in Ethiopia.
Eurocentrism makes it easy to ignore what's happening now, but Addis Ababa is the seat of the African Union Commission. Ethiopia is a major military power in the region, so these developments carry a lot of weight. Especially as the US collapses and the world becomes more multipolar, the development of regional powers like Ethiopia will have a big impact on how that part of the continent develops.
If any folks are more familiar with Ethiopia than I am (which shouldn't be hard since I'm basically not), please correct me or add context if anything is missing or wrong.

This photo contains lots of things I love. My cat Sparky, a planter of celery leaf, sunshine, my fabulous orange dining chairs and the newish dining room cabinet. Alt text for why the wall's a mess.

A sunny dining room. A white and tabby cat basks on the sunny windowsill next to a planter of green herbs. You can see a glimpse of orange dining chair bottom right, and a faintly twee tall white wood cabinet on the left. There are blue skies, the garden is very green, and the wall behind the radiator is in a state as we've just had an air source heat pump fitted and 10 radiators replaced 😱 It's prompted us to repaint the dining room, probably in a pale green.

I've been thinking a lot about design lately -- next spring I'm teaching a course in the ethics of software design -- and I realized that even something like an iPad cover / stand can be right-handed, in a way.
When the iPad is propped up using the cover in the photo, the home button has to be on the right. But I'm left-handed, so whenever I want to use the home button for the Touch ID, I have to reach across the tablet. It's not hard, but it's slightly awkward.

The result that should really cause you to update your beliefs about this year’s midterms is not in the topline or the Times’ official reporting, but hidden deep in the poll’s crosstabs.
A big story of the 2024 election was that Donald Trump made inroads with non-voters who traditionally leaned Democratic, and even got some of them to turn out for him.
But now it’s looking like he has squandered those gains and put his party on the path to midterm defeat in the House

This is a good time to remind everyone that I try very hard to consistently apply Hashtags to my posts - and I tend to fall on the side of over-hashtagging which allows everyone to unleash one of Mastodon's super powers: Muting a hashtag. See next post for instructions.
