perhaps the most charming consequence of the printing press in early modern Europe is the rise of broadsheet posters — which could announce news ranging from "enormous fire seen in the heavens" to "Mr. Höfler grew a weird cabbage"

a 1561 broadside poster with a hand-colored illustration of flames descending from the clouds toward a village while people look upwards in amazement. The headline reads "Ein grausamb/ vnd erschröcklich wunderzeychen/ so am 28. tag Decembris im LX. Jar/ zů Eckelßheym ein Meyl wegs von Forchheym geschehen ist" (A horrible and terrifying miracle, which occurred on 28 December 1560, at Eggolsheim, a mile away from Forchheim). The lengthy text below describes a huge flame seen in the sky (presumably the Northern Lights) and uses three biblical references to interpret the event as a warning from God and encourage readers to seek God's mercy. The credited printer is Georg Merckel. It's about 40cm or 16 inches tall. From the Wickiana collection at Zentralbibliothek Zürich

a 1553 broadside poster with hand-colored illustration of a big cabbage. The headline begins "Ein tröstliches vnd wunderbarliches Gewechs das warhafftig vor augen ist" (a comforting and miraculous growth that is truly before our eyes) and the caption explains that a multi-headed white cabbage was found in Thon (on the northern outskirts of Nuremberg) on Mr. Höfler's farm, which was interpreted as a sign from God for a bountiful year. The credited printer is Steffan Hamer. It's about 40cm or 16 inches tall. From the Wickiana collection at Zentralbibliothek Zürich

Shoutout to the 16th-century Swiss pastor John Jacob [Jingleheimer?] Wick, who collected and preserved over 400 of these posters spanning about 80 years, with a particular focus on weird and supernatural phenomena

Good news: someone is actually reading our thought leadership documents, rather than just the executive summary. Bad news: it is mostly to check for AI slop.

It’s especially funny the KPMG report was called ‘Redefining excellence in the age of agentic AI’ which they certainly sought to do! www.ft.com/content/b382...

ft.com

KPMG report contained AI hallucinations on benefits of . . . AI

Bogus case studies on UBS and transit systems exaggerated adoption of the technology

Chef’s kiss stuff

Several more footnotes refer to unusual sources. For example, a teenage blogger with 28o followers on Medium is cited as PwC's source for information about a
JPMorgan initiative it calls a "real world success story" of agentic AI. The initiative - in which the bank automated the review of
commercial loan agreements, saving hundreds of thousands of hours of human
work - was first reported in 2017, five years before ChatGPT launched the era of
generative AI.
