When you read Paxton's Anatomy of Fascism, this is basically the central point: it's not coherant. This is why he doesn't offer a definition until then end. Because you have to look at what fascists do, not what they say, to understand it. There is no ur-text of fascism.

It’s time…

Absolutely right.

AI might be able to summarize (poorly) what we currently know, but a major goal of historical research is to find the hidden surprises out there.

Let me illustrate …

Building on this, “Feeding AI” also devalues the labor of archivists, while endangering original records as well as the authenticity and reliability of the records. People do not understand that end of the work and assume we can just digitize everything. No. No we cannot.

I paid Rolling Stone enough money while they had a TV critic to not mind going around the paywall now. Enjoy! archive.ph/Ta745

Since I was focused here on transcription, I didn't mention perhaps the most important thing: it's by reading hundreds of these documents myself that I start to formulate my arguments, get an idea of the institutional set-up, the context, and so on.

A thread on transcription and AI. One reason I don't use AI to transcribe (besides the fact that AI is hugely detrimental to the environment & is coming for our jobs) is that it can't tell the difference between original documents & new notes added by staff members to whom documents were sent. 🗃️ 1/?
