Do I know anyone with access to the Microsoft Company Archives? Or can any of you help me with a contact to the Microsoft company archives?

Happy 23rd birthday Wayback Machine!
On October 24, 2001, The Internet Archive organization launched a free digital archive of websites for the general public called the Wayback Machine.
The oldest pages stored in the archive date back to 1996.

Today, I voted in the U.S. elections by mail. If you are a U.S. citizen living abroad, or know a citizen living abroad, there is still enough time to vote. Please visit: votefromabroad.org
Science-based leadership is on the ballot.
Democracy is on the ballot.

The subtle yet still insane risks of using AI to "enhance" photos.
I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI).
I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right.
Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird.
I open my original photo.
No bra showing.
I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF...
Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨
Immediately, I email the conference host.
(FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.)
He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue.
He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website.
She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller.
AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯

FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

Wayback Machine running strong (yippie!).
Still working to bring archive.org items & other services online safely.
@internetarchive team spirits high, but tired.

If you've got nothing going on tonight we recommend you review the comments on this post.
We have never seen a DDoS group receive such vitriolic hatred. It's heartwarming — you can see people from all across the planet, all across the political spectrum, unite for ... hatred
The Internet archive has and is suffering from a devastating attack We have been launching several highly successful attacks for five long hours and, to this moment, all their systems are completely down.
second round | New attack

@internetarchive : be honest :)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This group claims they took down the Internet Archive because it "belongs to the USA...who support Israel" which is not true
Th Archive is not US government, it is a non-profit that includes many resources about Palestine, which we can't now access because of this attack
