On ransomware and under-funded GLAMs: 'At no point was the British Library particularly negligent or unprepared. Instead, it was hindered by vulnerabilities shared by the majority of cultural institutions. In this respect, the attack doesn’t just represent an isolated failure – it’s a warning to the whole sector.' https://informationsecuritybuzz.com/the-cyberattack-that-exposed-the-fragility-of-digital-heritage/

https://comparia.beta.gouv.fr/ is so awesome for AI literacy - it makes it so easy to get a sense of different models, rate their responses on accuracy etc, then see what the models were and how they compare, plus the carbon footprint of your queries (as on the screenshot) #FF2025
