Xamanismo Coletivo#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."
