  4. Museums need more than an AI policy: they need AI provenance. Decisions about tools should account for training data, artists’ rights, labour, environmental costs and vendor lock-in. Small, locally operated open models trained on licensed or public-domain collections could offer a path towards cultural data sovereignty.

  5. The Late Edit: How Belief Turns Revision Into Revelation

    We have become a provenance culture, and I count myself an enforcer of it. Galleries now label machine-made images. Legislatures draft watermark bills, publishers add disclosure lines to copyright pages, and coders audit the licenses of every scraped repository. I am a plaintiff in litigation over the corpora used to train commercial language machines, so my commitment to the chain of custody is on file in federal court. The question a serious reader asks of any artifact in 2026 is blunt: who made this, from what, and who touched it on the way to me? That question is healthy. It is also, in one enormous and telling case, suspended. […]

  6. Revisiting bsdiff as a tool for digital preservation


    by @beet_keeper

    I introduced bsdiff in a blog in 2014. bsdiff compares the differences between two files, e.g. broken_file_a and corrected_file_b and creates a patch that can be applied to broken_file_a to generate a byte-for-byte match for corrected_file_b.

    On the face of it, in an archive, we probably only care about corrected_file_2 and so why would we care about a technology that patches a broken file?

    In all of the use-cases we can imagine the primary reasons are cost savings and removing redundancy in file storage or transmission of digital information. In one very special case we can record the difference between broken_file_a and corrected_file_b and give users a totally objective method of recreating corrected_file_b from broken_file_a providing 100% verifiable proof of the migration pathway taken between the two files.
