Applied statistics can automate a lot of work away, but what it's best at is automating the #BullshitJobs that #DavidGraeber (#RestInPower) described in his brilliant 2018 book:
An academic friend tells me that they use #LLMs to write recommendation letters for grad students, and that grad students use LLMs to take minutes on department meetings.

MUSEUM OF CARE AS A PROJECT
"The Museum of Care is your Museum: it was created by the people for the people. During the 2020 Covid pandemic, Nika Dubrovsky and David Graeber came up with the idea. After David’s death, Nika and friends created a website that hosted Reading groups, assemblies, and art projects..."
Seltsame aber glückliche Ergänzung: gestern sowohl »Dies ist mein letztes Lied« (2023) von @catrinity bei Verlag @ohneohren, als auch »Schulden. Die ersten 5000 Jahre« (2011/Dt. 2012) von #DavidGraeber bei Goldmann beendet.
Kann beide sehr empfehlen, wie auch die Lese-Praxis, Sachtexte und Prosa-Lyrik im Slalom-Tandem zu lesen, damit beide Hirnhälfte ihren Spaß haben.
Reading #DavidGraeber's #BullshitJobs & feeling very #antiwork this Saturday morning.
This is an amazing book. On a similar vein as #DavidGraeber's work, but more focused on #literature, #poetry and #NativeAmericans. Beautifully written and mind blowing. Highly recommended.

When Graeber's book on "bullshit jobs" came out all kinds of experts (mostly economists) called the book itself bullshit. Well, now we will know whether or not Graeber was right. If all those articles about people outsourcing their jobs to #ChatGPT turn out to be true, and the trend is real, then we'll know it was those economists who have bullshit jobs...
