I heard “AI in the loop” quite a lot last week at AI4LAM’s Fantastic Futures conference. #ff2026 Haven’t heard it yet at #tdwg2026

Really enjoyed coming back to DC for #ff2026, last time here was 2005 and a lot has changed. #AI4LAM

Spent the last few days at #ff2026 talking about neat advancements in OCR technology, among other things.

Here’s a pic of 2016 me showing the time I used GNU parallels to chain together 10 computers in NYPL Labs over LAN to do mass distributed tesseract jobs.

I basically created an OCR botnet.

How well does UX take into account these geopolitical, cross-cultural, cross-lingual dimensions in discovery environments? #FF2026

@digitaldante.bsky.social Sep 17, 2026, 6:29 PM

As the discussion turns to non-US perspectives, the geopolitical dimensions sharpens. GDPR and privacy, digital sovereignty and public infrastructures - as US citizens we would do well to listen carefully. #FF2026

@digitaldante.bsky.social Sep 17, 2026, 6:26 PM

I find the internat'l perspectives at #FF2026 both bracing and refreshing. I know the US is not an easy place to visit right now for our non-US colleagues, but I am so grateful that you came!
