Cover of the Fall 2026 issue of "The Illogician". The title is colored so that one can also read "ILLC" off of it. The cover artwork is a sketch of multiple animals, each representing a complexity class. They blend in with the foliage.

The Fall 2026 issue of the illogician, open at pages 2 and 3, both available in an accessible format at https://resources.illc.uva.nl/TheIllogician/issues/2026-ii.pdf

This is beyond cartoonishly evil: 1. AI companies buy rare books from bookstores, because they're free from slop. 2. Books get fed to the slopmachine, destroying the books in the process. 3. AI companies don't publish digital books, potentially removing the book from society forever. 4 […]
