Abstract
<p class="p1">In this article I briefly discuss the connections between the geopolitical scenario emerging from the creation of the BRICS New Development Bank, and the digitization of languages and cultures carried out in a substantially Anglophone-driven economic and technological context. The appearance of the new BRICS bank, and especially the plan for an “independent Internet” are not only challenging the financial system, but in the long-run could also affect the current digital knowledge monopolies, activating new ways to encode and decode cultural objects, and challenge present digital standards. Digital Humanists, on all levels, are called upon to react to this developing geopolitical scenario, asking themselves questions about political representation and cultural diversity, encoding standards, digital infrastructures and linguistic hegemonies. An old equilibrium based on unequal power relationships is perhaps close to an end, and this is a unique time and opportunity to create a genuinely democratic and international scholarly community. <hr /> <p class="p1">Dans cet article, je discute brièvement des liens entre le scénario géopolitique qui émerge de la création de la nouvelle banque de développement des pays du BRICS, et la numérisation des langues et des cultures réalisée dans un contexte économique et technologique essentiellement anglophone. L’apparition de la nouvelle banque des BRICS et en particulier le projet d’un « internet indépendant », remet en question non seulement le système financier, mais à long terme pourrait aussi toucher les monopoles de connaissances numériques actuelles, en mettant en oeuvre de nouveaux moyens d’encoder de décoder les objets culturels, et remettre en cause les normes numériques actuelles. Les humanistes numériques, à tous les niveaux, sont invités à réagir au sujet de ce scénario géopolitique émergent, et à se poser des questions au sujet de la représentation politique et la diversité culturelle, les normes d’encodage, les infrastructures numériques et les<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>hégémonies linguistiques. Un ancien équilibre fondé sur des relations de pouvoir inégales est peut-être près de prendre fin, et il s’agit d’une période et d’une occasion unique de créer une communauté érudite véritablement démocratique et internationale.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span> <p class="p1"><strong>Mots-clés: </strong>géopolitique (de connaissances); BRICS; dialogue sud–sud; diversité technologique et culturelle; fiscalité linguistique<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <p class="p1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
