Ea Nasir is a really interesting case study of how one piece of information can be interpreted in two completely different ways.
One interpretation, and the one most people know, is that the authors of the clay tablets complaints are legitimate.
The other is that Ea Nasir kept them as a record of people attempting to harm his reputation. So he could remember who to avoid doing business with in the future.
Why don’t y’all just get to machine learn all those fucking tablets you dug up, like hundreds of thousands of them, and train a fucking AI on that shit and tell us what it says instead of sitting here being a besserwisser online, HMM? If there was one good cause for AI, cuneiform would be it. Just god damned saying.
Edit: just btw I happen to know that the problem is mainly the first training set, you need cuneiformers to correctly give the answers so the model knows what to train on, and there’s like seven people in the world who do that, but I’m thinking, what if we trained an AI model on all the cuneiform we do know? Hit me up for proposals, I’m serious about this shit
Also ancient Sumer had a pretty decent legal system for it’s time, it’s entirely possible Ea-Nasir was keeping the tablets for a possible court case. So the ancient equivalent of saving texts from a shit customer.

Your honor, I have 500 lbs of receipts.
“What’s a pound? Some savages measurements from the east? We use mina.”
Mina? I barely mined’a!
I will go home now, don’t mind me, coming through, heyyyup.
So it’s like the Lemmy modlog. Maybe it’s a log of mods calling out bad users, maybe it’s a log of mods lying and power tripping.
^ this person has been horribly wronged.
Awww, thanks! ^^
