#LLMs & Artificial Bureaucracy: "The technology can help write more papers, synthesize more literature reviews, produce more of the shapes that hiring committees evaluate in their twelve minutes with a file. It needn’t have been this way, or at least one can imagine it being otherwise. In a different institutional context, LLMs might be enrolled as tools for synthesis, for identifying gaps in literatures, for connecting disparate fields. Some of this happens, in local pockets, where researchers use them as tools for exploration and connection rather than production. But the dominant pattern is #intensification. The technology is shaped by the logic already in place, and it makes that logic run faster."

(4/6) … #farming produces the most food on the least land, it’s not helping either, as more #intensification will lead to ever-more horrifying levels of animal suffering. We know that we could alleviate a lot of the problem by eating less #meat & dairy, and more plants… www.vox.com/future-perfe...
The brutal trade-off that will decide the future of food

A review of new books like Michael Grunwald’s We Are Eating the Earth and Richard Sexton’s Food Fight reveals a painful choice between saving land and animal welfare.

We should contain industrial methods to the North:

"The diversity of #manure management practices on #dairy farms is high, with #intensification favoring liquid manure management. This trend increases the potential for both #CH4 and #N2O emissions, and the need for mitigation."

"In warmer climates the CH4 #mitigation potential and relative importance of manure treatment technologies would be greater."

- Je vous rends les copies de vocabulaire "Employez les mots suivants dans des phrases de votre choix". Je rappelle que vous pouvez bien sûr vous faire aider pour les DM mais qu'il ne faut pas qu'un adulte les fasse à votre place. Quand je lis "L' #intensification de la lutte contre le patriarcat est l'indispensable cheminement vers une égalité encore intouchable", je doute que ce soit un de vous qui l'ait écrit.

Face à l’intensification du travail, les jeunes plongent dans un malaise profond : « Je m’enfonçais dans le travail, je n’avais plus de distance »

Tâches absurdes, rythme intense, précarité de l’emploi, absence de seniors pour les guider… les transformations du monde professionnel génèrent de la souffrance chez les jeunes salariés. Le nombre d’arrêts-maladie explose chez les moins de 30 ans.
