How can artificial intelligence be used to support humans instead of replacing them?

This presentation demonstrates how we integrated Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) into the FromThePage crowdsourcing platform while keeping the central role of humans in the transcription process.

Do any here have any good articles/blog posts on the right to be forgotten from an ethical/archival perspective rather than a legal/digital one?

jkramersmyth,

@katykaty Maybe not quite what you are looking for, but I included a chapter on the right to be forgotten in my book, Partners for Preservation https://www.partnersforpreservation.com/:

jkramersmyth,

@katykaty I'd love to know your thoughts once you read the parts that appeal to you. It was published before COVID - so now feels like so many zillion years ago :)

In the battleground of history, archival work is cultural defense. Luckily, digital media can be quickly and cheaply duplicated and shared. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/01/save-your-twitter-account

jkramersmyth,

@eff You might add to your instructions for folks to use a tool like the one described in this post that converts all the t.co links to full URLs: https://matthiasott.com/notes/converting-your-twitter-archive-to-markdown

NYT adds a web-based Flash player to their archive website so visitors can run old Flash-based interactive news pieces.

Ah, the AI revolution of 1986.

I've futzed around with my #WordPress theme and now I have a library of all the books I've ever reviewed.

Take a look at:
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/library/

Feedback welcome!

jkramersmyth,

@Edent Did you use a pre-existing theme to adapt? Or did you write yours from scratch?

jkramersmyth,

@Edent Now I just need to figure out how to fix my slightly broken WP instance that won't let me get to the admin page any longer!

The US Library of Congress has kicked off a crowdsourced transcription campaign for the papers of Leonard Bernstein. Help improve search, discovery, & access to this collection by volunteering: https://crowd.loc.gov/campaigns/bernstein/

I’m often amused by the unsolicited emails asking to author posts for my website. Not once in the 15 years that I’ve had a personal site has there been anyone else writing on it except me.

jkramersmyth,

@jaheppler I've experienced this too. It makes me wonder what their success rate is that keeps them still hopeful that a request like this will work.

jkramersmyth, to conservative

I love the clarity of this list of the 7 sustainability factors used by the US Library of Congress as global/community criteria for determining recommended file formats for preservation and long-term access:

  • Disclosure
  • Adoption
  • Transparency
  • Self-documentation
  • External dependencies
  • Impact of patents
  • Technical protection mechanisms

It seems highly likely I will achieve nothing today.

Hast thou photos of your very good pets?

jkramersmyth,

@Rhube Marble Rye is a fan of her boxes. This the "small box". You can see a bit of her "large box" behind it. She alternates, so we keep them both.
