RUG-historicus Mark L. Thompson laat je chatten met Founding Fathers. Wat zou Donald Trump moeten vragen? ’Hier moet ik even over nadenken’

FoundersChat: a new #AI tool made by @mark-l-thompson.bsky.social, covered in @dvhn.nl this weekend! Try chatting with the #FoundingFathers yourself: edu.nl/jwdpq @citrug.bsky.social @ug-dcc.bsky.social @rug.nl @facultyofartsug.bsky.social #America #USA250 #America250 #researchsoftware

I literally walked into the Code Cafe at 4:00 on a Thursday afternoon at the end of February, talked to DCC data steward Bjorn Bakker for half an hour (turns out, he's a big Hamilton fan!), and within weeks Timo and I were working to bring this project to light. And here it is!

Today is the last Code Café before the summer holiday, you can still sign up!👇🏼
