This year’s theme was AI in Enterprise, where we looked back at the experience of AI integration and jailbreaking in the last year. As well as the deterioration and restoration of hackers’ abilities in presentation, 3D modeling, the new methodology in red-teaming, and the safety of data after the AI apocalypse.

Cuneiform as a Service: Clay Tablets as an Enterprise-Grade Long-Term Archival Tier

kmein (independent researcher)

PDF · 8 pages

Enterprises are legally and strategically obliged to retain data for ever longer periods, yet every mainstream archival medium is rated for decades at best. This paper evaluates the clay tablet as a write-once, read-many (WORM) storage tier with a field-proven retention of more than 5,300 years. We benchmark clay against LTO tape, Amazon S3 Glacier and M-DISC, and find that it outperforms all of them on observed retention by two to three orders of magnitude.

We further show that clay supports a clean separation between mutable drafts (unfired clay) and immutable commits (fired clay), that its disaster recovery story is uniquely antifragile, and that it ships with a mature customer support history dating back to 1750 BC. Interoperability is ensured through the Unicode cuneiform blocks and freely licensed fonts. We conclude with a migration roadmap towards a tablet-first archival strategy.
