America was up above 80% in 2009/2010, so this change can't be because either of those

Poland is one of the larger NATO militaries and would probably be leading the early parts of a NATO-Russia war. Poland will absolutely be targeted either way in the event of a nuclear war
Niger, not Nigeria. Unless there's another story that o have missed
CE/BCE isn't strictly astronomical year terminology, it can be applied to the Gregorian calendar and AD/BC can be used for astronomical years. If you see BCE outside of an astronomy context, it probably does not include a year zero
how high processing power computers with AI/LLM’s can assist in a lab and/or hospital environment
This is an enormously broader scope than the situation I actually responded to, which was LLMs making diagnoses and then getting their work checked by a doctor
In the example you provided, you're doing it by hand afterwards anyway. How is a doctor going to vet the work of the AI without examining the case in as much detail as they would have without the AI?
In the test here, it literally only handled text. Doctors can do that. And if you need a doctor to check its work in every case, it has saved zero hours of work for doctors.
Usually to do work that needs done but does not need the direct attention of the more skilled person. The assistant can do that work by themselves most of the time. In the example above, the assistant is doing all of the most challenging work and then the doctor is checking all of its work
If you need someone qualified to examine the case anyway, what's the point of the AI?
it said something like “this is very high”.
Maeshowe, in the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. It's a properly ancient structure, and there are 30 runic inscriptions in it which are all just straight up graffiti, including "Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up". My favourite part is it's not even that high up, like the guy was probably just on someone's shoulders.
Oddly enough we probably have the story of the graffiti artists. The Orkneyinga saga tells the tale of some 12th century Norsemen who took shelter there during a snowstorm and looted the place. By the time they did so, Maeshowe was already about 4,000 years old, and whatever they looted was probably left there by their own ancestors a few centuries beforehand.
I don't think anyone is saying anything happened overnight. We're talking a fifty-sixty year delay on the events mentioned above. But also, I would want to see some evidence that Africans on average weren't aware of the legacy of colonialism up until the 2010s, because that seems like an unreasonably low estimation of education on the continent.
Besides that, Russia and China also saw declines throughout the 2010s from peaks in 2009/2010. That would suggest to me that something in the 2010s made Africans on average less approving of the world's major powers in general
