I thought you might enjoy that the national weather organisation of my country made a series of 'who wore it better' posts comparing met gala outfits against colourful sea slugs.

Hi! I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction? I'm looking for step by step instructions for doing an authentic, 1960s beehive. Most of what I find is more of a poof or bouffant, I mean the real deal. Something like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5a/84/e6/5a84e683befb0f804af52fa2f34ff6ea.jpg
Not an easy hairdo, a hard hairdo! lol
Something pointy!
I know nothing about how to do hair, sorry!
The Met Used AI For Their New Costume Institute Exhibition And I'm Not Sure How I Feel About It.
breakdown:
I searched through the official brochure for the Sleeping Beauties exhibit and it looks like the AI element was limited to only one of the dresses. The brochure prompts the visitor to converse (via AI) with Natalie Potter, whose wedding ensemble is one of the items in the exhibit to learn more about her and her garments.
This "conversation" would have been a chonk of text in a brochure or on a sign, so it's not quite replacing someone's job levels, and seems more like an experiment in how AI can be used in museum interpretation.
holy shit that's so fucked up. not replacing a job yet, but still
like. they're literally putting words in a real dead woman's mouth using a computer
and yeah a human first-person interpreter is a similar thing but like...humans can think critically about Mrs. Potter and her sociocultural context way more than a machine can. humans can approach her and her life with far more understanding and nuanced consideration than a machine can. not every interpreter would, and both systems still bring the biases of the interpreter or the programmers to the table (as all historical interpretation does), but a good human interpreter could still do this job far better than an unfeeling machine
Maybe they set up parameters so it just generates responses about the wedding and clothing? I really, really hope that's the case, at least.
(Also- it's replacing a single chonk of text today. It could be used to replace ALL exhibit text in the future if we're not careful, and that is someone's job. or a significant part of it)
Okay but imagine how funny it will be when she brings up her elven boyfriend.

This is incredibly concerning
Huey is wearing a plain black tuxedo tonight but we’ll forgive him because he’s so handsome.
All right, I’ve got to bring Keaton in on this action, with his fashionable rusty brown tuxedo.
exceptional!
Yes, Luke is wearing a black tux, but he still made an effort to be on theme by going to my garden and rolling around in the dirt, integrating that into his little dandy outfit
It gives him a slightly off white shade that breaks the boredom of an otherwise traditional look, without going so far as turning that awful shade of beige that dominated last night for some reason
I think it's a simple but effective touch added to an elegant outfit that makes it perfect for special occasions, such as the Met Gala or rolling around on my freshly washed sheets
superb interpretation of the theme!
If I may present Senator Milkshake, who decided to take a haute couture approach to the evening!
Conrad is being his best black tie to the event

A little late to the gala, Rocket also is wearing his black tuxedo…. At least he has a little hat and he promises to never wear boring beige!

Mr. Chainsaw, I’m going to need you to explain how a black tuxedo is on theme.
We'll forgive him.
