Harry Potter is Post-apocalyptic

I have recently read an article where the author compared talking to LLMs to saying enchantements. And it makes sense to me. I am currently playing Hogwarts Legacy and when you are learning new spells, everyone is telling you to be careful about pronunciation and hand movements. The same goes for talking with LLMs today.

Forces at play also in the real world. "So Burgundy is essentially in a race where it starts four feet behind and must sprint to catch up.

Fortuitous alliances (including ones with France, initially) may buy time (but of course, France can gain allies too and people tend to want to be friends with stronger powers, not weaker ones) but in the end, Burgundy has to catch up and then eclipse France’s power if it is […]

Slave trade was complicated and aimple at the same time. "Taking the Dahomey region as an example (drawing from Lee, Waging War, 265-72), you can see the clear impact of that strategic dilemma as the slave trade explodes, from perhaps three thousand enslaved persons traded out of the region per year in 1670 to twenty-thousand in 1688. As flintlocks flooded into the region, their price relative to enslaved persons plummeted, from two guns per-enslaved-person in 1682 to 24-32 guns […]
