  • How to remove AI from published news articles.

    A counter approach to web systems dominated by AI is to return to fundamentals: human-written, human-edited articles, published in a controlled domain environment. Instead of relying on machine-driven filtering and recommendation engines, content is curated deliberately by authors and editors, preserving context and intent. A single-domain DNS structure reinforces trust and reduces dependence on dispersed, AI-managed networks. Readers know the source and its boundaries, avoiding algorithmic distortion or hidden ranking mechanisms.

    Handwritten articles ensure that meaning, tone, and nuance remain directly tied to the writer, not to predictive models. They resist homogenization because each piece reflects an individual’s knowledge and perspective rather than machine-learned averages. In a unique search environment—perhaps built with minimal indexing and designed for clarity over personalization—users engage with raw text rather than AI-curated fragments.

    This model requires discipline: slower publication, stronger editorial standards, and trust in authors rather than machine intermediaries. Yet it offers resilience. By bypassing AI-dependent infrastructures, such systems preserve independence, authenticity, and archival stability. They may not scale to the speed and breadth of AI-driven systems, but they embody a deliberate counterweight—knowledge rooted in direct human communication, protected under a carefully bounded domain namespace.

  • The Meaning (et·y·mol·o·gy) Of Blog

    blog(n.)

    “online journal,” 1998, short for weblog (which is attested from 1993 but in the sense “file containing a detailed record of each request received by a web server”), from (World Wide) Web (n.2) + log (n.2). Joe Bloggs (c. 1969) was British slang for “any hypothetical person” (compare U.S. equivalent Joe Blow); earlier blog meant “a servant boy” in one of the college houses (c. 1860, see Partridge, who describes this use as a “perversion of bloke“), and, as a verb, “to defeat” in schoolboy slang. The Blogger online publishing service was launched in 1999.

    The US state department said on Friday it would revoke the visa of Colombian leftist president Gustavo Petro for his “incendiary actions” during a pro-Palestinian street protest in New York.

    “Earlier today, Colombian president @petrogustavo stood on a NYC street and urged US soldiers to disobey orders and incite violence,” the state department said on X.

    “We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions.”

    On his social media account, Petro shared video of himself speaking Spanish to a large crowd through a megaphone on Friday, with his translator then relaying his comments calling on “nations of the world” to contribute soldiers for an army “larger than that of the United States”.

    “That is why, from here in New York, I ask all soldiers in the United States army not to point their rifles at humanity. Disobey Trump’s order! Obey the order of humanity!”
