If someone's telling me not to vote, I'd like to know their take on actual policies that are at stake in the election. The NYT, apparently, does not think that's relevant.

The NYT also allowed him to exclude his partisan inclinations. From the 2018 piece: "In a bland way I hope to see Republicans control various state and national offices. This arises from a single issue: the legality of abortion."

More anti-democratic thoughts from 2018 the NYT allowed this writer to exclude from his current piece. Delivered with an air of detached irony, as if he miiight be joking or exaggerating. But is he?

In the FT, Gideon Rachman argues: "The old left-right divide of the 20th century has given way to a new cleavage between liberal internationalists and populist nationalists." Le Pen, Trump and liberal panic www.ft.com/content/d3f2...

AI and Open Cultural Licensing (remarks to be presented at the SHARP plenary roundtable: AI In the Communications Circuit)eve.gd Some remarks that will be presented at the SHARP plenary roundtable: AI in the Communications Circuit.

“In short: the actions of the large corporations who are training AI models on in-copyright material are provoking a backlash against the idea of open dissemination on the internet and web.” I’m curious what impact this kind of scraping is having on approaches to online museum collections.

Watched a provocative #sharp2024 session on AI & book history. @mkirschenbaum.bsky.social gave a tour de force inspired by an LLM inside a font, llama.ttf. I'm eager to talk with @ryancordell.bsky.social re his research on newspapers copying each other. 1/
