Þokan læðist inn yfir borgina nú í morgun.

page in Gurmukhi script

One of the challenges of my job is occasionally having to catalogue things I can't read and have no info on! Here we have a manuscript in Gurmukhi script - which I'm guessing is Sikh in content, but getting beyond that is today's task! (So if anyone has any ideas...)

Exactly! There were a few AI inhanced cases here and there but it wasn't this bad a month ago. So blantly coping and pasting images entirely created with nanobana and not even removing the flood of emojis from the text... Did we all just suddenly collectively decided not to care anymore?

Vibe-Coding in (Digital) Humanities

Many DH scholars (and others) around me are praising LLMs for democratisation of coding and easy use. I totally get that, it's fascinating. What I miss in the discussion are the ethical issues and long-term maintainability (which was a problem before LLMs too).

What is it with all the AI slop in CfPs recently?

Við minnum á ársfundinn okkar sem verður núna á föstudaginn kl. 13:00 til 15:30 í fyrirlestrarsal Þjóðminjasafnisins.

Öll velkomin!

"Virtual Vikings: A Case of Identity Formation and Techno-Skepticism in the Digital Vernacular"

📅 Tuesday, 14 April 2026, ‼️ 14:00 GMT
📍 ONLINE on YouTube @MSHLIceland

The longer I spend in digital humanities, the more I am obsessively drawn to analog technologies and convinced we must actively and intently teach them or the digital world loses its color, texture, and depth.

Last week, we brought together students, local institutions and international researchers for our multiplier event on digitalization of historical texts and digital pipelines at the University of Iceland.

attn: paleographers. Modern science confirms what medievalists already know.
(For non-medievalists, most medieval 'cursive' is actually what we'd today call mixed bc it was developed in order to be faster.)
