The current distribution of votes per category is a tad uneven and you can probably guess which categories are which!
No way to control it, it’s totally automatic… take a look at this collected volume on Automation, edited by moi and Molly Crozier www.routledge.com/The-Human-an...
This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.
RIP Eugen Gomringer (1925–2025)
I made a small minimalist homage to his maximal vision and impact

DEWEY DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION LIBRARY OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 2, 1949 Dr. Norbert Wiener Mass. Institute of Technology Cambridge, Nass. My dear Dr. Wiener: The publication of your book on Cybernetics has caused the editorial staff which is in charge of the revision of the Dewey Decimal Classification considerable difficulty. We are in the position of being asked by sincere inquirers as to how to classify the book and by less sincere people who like to confront supposedly expert classifiers with problems which they are quite certain are beyond our capabilities. Quite frankly, cybernetics is. We have read and reread reviews and explanations of the content of your book and have even tried to understand the book itself, only to become more uncertain as to what field it falls into. I am appealing to you as the one person who should be able to tell us. Possibly you already know that the Dewey Decimal Classification attempts to assign a number to the subject content of books. Generally speaking, a book can only be assigned one number and consequently we cannot take care of the many aspects that certain works cover. The problem must be simplified and consequently, is your book such as to place it in psychology? Does it belong in the field of electronic computation devices or does it belong in mathematics? If we were not somewhat desperate about this particular problem, I should hesitate to bother you with it. Cordially yours, Esther P. Potter Director
