I just posted the text of my talk "Nothing Survives Transcription, Nothing Doesn't Survive Transcription," which I gave at a data science event at Iona University a little while ago. https://posts.decontextualize.com/nothing-survives-transcription/ among other topics featured in the talk: Emily Dickinson's punctuation, psychics making the wrong guesses, the sound of data centers, a wrapped ream of blank letter-sized paper
