AI is here, like it or not, and synthetic #knowledge is fundamentally different than human research. Where prior works are cited, that credit must be given. But an #LLM #literature review seems to suggest evolving standards with #technology just as once any #website #reference was suspect.

Encyclopedia of American Activism 1960 to the Present by Margaret DiCanio, 2016

The turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s spawned a spectrum of activist movements. In spirit and action, events ranged from: gentle to violent; from Tree People to Bloody Sunday; from Community Mental Health to Black Power. This rapid stream of social and political change defined the second half of the 20th century, yet had roots in the first half.

I just whipped up a simple icon search for Kitten Icons (based on Phosphor Icons). It’s not complete yet – I have a few other things to do before I can get back to it today – but you can play with it here:

And see the code for it here:

I popped the event handler into the Markdown page itself. Not the cleanest but works in a pinch:

codeberg.org/kitten/site/raw/b

Screenshot of the work-in-progress icon explorer on the Kitten web site’s reference section showing the icon results for the search term “animal”: Barn, Bird, Butterfly, Cat, Cow, Dog, Fish, FishSimple, Horse, LinuxLogo, PawPrint, Rabbit. Page content follows after the icon explorer component: In that namespace, you browse the icons in three ways: Directly, by name, e.g., kitten.icons.Cat In categories, e.g., kitten.icons.categories.nature.Cat Using tags, e.g., kitten.icons.tags.kitten.Cat The categories and tags objects are authoring-time aids.
