Dear article writers, bloggers, and thought leaders: before you ask a diffusion model to barf up a banner image, please just go on one of these archives and pick something nice.
I’m so sorry y’all are going through this and that description of Luna licking the snow with all four feet in the air made me laugh so hard my cat woke up and is now staring at me grumpily. “Take it somewhere else CatMom. We are having Quiet Time.”

Lo’s talk focused on archives and the importance of protecting them from AI services that could “ingest” them. “Think of all the sensitive materials donated to archives — letters, personal items,” Lo said, gesturing to the Special Collections vault nearby. “Academics care about citation and evidence. Archivists care about context. If we do not set enforceable boundaries for AI use in cultural heritage archives now, we will lose provenance and then lose trust.”
Context for the article:
Really interesting article about UVA’s approach to preserving provenance and archival control for institutions investigating potential use of AI to speed up digitization.

Adults will buy comics if there’s an actual variety of subjects and themes, something the manga industry has figured out and that I wish could be internalized more stateside.
If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.
