Abstract
A few years back in an article on cultural funding, I speculated about the long-term implications of patterns of restructuring designed to force culture away from a welfare state model toward a market model (DiCenzo 253-64). This trend towards privatization was by no means new by the late 1990s, but a series of changes at the federal, provincial and municipal levels (particularly in Ontario) pointed to a significant redefinition of the financing, structure and function of arts funding bodies in Canada. Most disturbing was the growing move away from funding artists directly. Subsidies to creators were displaced by policies designed to encourage relationships between the private sector and arts organizations through measures such as tax incentives and matching schemes, effectively shifting the role of funding bodies to that of facilitators and high-profile fundraisers. What I wondered at the time was, to what extent can these kinds of developments make arts councils increasingly redundant in the long run, and would “new money” in the future be enough to restore and rebuild the cultural infrastructure?

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
