A new colleague, Alaka Oluwatobi, shared his decolonial essay with me. I share this interest, so I read it and wrote a blog post. The essay is linked there as well as in the first comment if you'd like to read it without my opinions.

Les LLM n'ont aucune notion de vérité. Tant que les gens ne comprendront pas ça, ils mettront en place de mauvais cas d'usage (comme Google qui se dit que ce serait bien de remplacer la recherche de contenu existant par l'invention de texte) https://exple.tive.org/blarg/2026/05/02/lies-damned-lies-and-stochastics/ #LLM #vérité #mensonge #recherche #google #critique

It’s not a helpful way to think.
