What do you read, and why? A few decades ago, these weren’t urgent questions. Reading was an unremarkable activity, essentially unchanged since the advent of the modern publishing industry, in the 19th century. But today, the nature of reading has shifted. Plenty of people still enjoy traditional books and publications, and there are even readers for whom the networked age has enabled a kind of hyper-literacy; for them, a smartphone is a library in their pocket. For others, however, the old-fashioned, ideal sort of reading—intense, extended, beginning-to-end encounters with carefully crafted texts—has become a thing of the past.

“Large language models, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude, are, among other things, reading machines,” Joshua Rothman writes. “It’s not exactly right to say that they ‘read,’ in the human sense: an L.L.M. can’t be moved by what it reads, because it has no emotions, and its heart can’t race in suspense. But it’s also undeniable that there are aspects of reading at which A.I.s excel at a superhuman level.” Rothman considers the future of reading, and how A.I. could transform our relationship to traditional texts: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/AIeVrc

In celebration of Independence Day, a story brought to you by the scientists of the Library's Preservation Research and Testing Division.

Throughout the month of June 1776, Thomas Jefferson composed “A Declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America in General Congress assembled,” which we know as the Declaration of Independence. As he edited, he made careful strike outs. However, in one area on page 2, there’s an obvious smudge rather than a neat cross out.

Upon closer examination under the microscope, it’s evident there is a word underneath, with “citizens” having been judiciously written atop. Spectral imaging reveals that Jefferson first wrote “our fellow subjects."

The change emphasizes the weight that words carry — "subjects" evoking the monarchy the Founding Fathers wanted to earn their liberation from, "citizens" indicating the forging of a new path — and Jefferson’s keen ability to incite emotion, inspiration, and motivation in his writing.

Não desvalorizo o conteúdo brasileiro. A questão é a exposição quase exclusiva a uma variante linguística que não é a delas, comprometendo o desenvolvimento linguístico e cultural na língua materna.
