Schon gefühlte Jahrzehnte ist es her, dass Blogs in Mode waren. Für mich sind sie es immer noch: Seit Google angefangen hatte, das Internet mit seinen Suchalgorithmen kaputt zu machen (Stichwort SEO als Beruf(!)), hatten es Blogs immer schwerer. Gefühlt hatte ich bei der Google Suche die ersten x-Suchergebnisseiten übersprungen, um die kleinen, nischigen Blogs zu finden. Die, die Qualität über Suchmaschinenoptimierung stellten, mich zum nachdenken anregen, mich auf etwas stoßen, dass ich noch nicht gedacht habe oder hatte. Die, die sich der Wahrheit verpflichtet sahen und sehen, die, die ihr Wissen, ihre Gedanken, Ideen und Anregungen zum Wohle aller zur Verfügung stellten und stellen. Blogs, die ich schon Jahre nicht mehr bei Google suche, aber bis vor kurzem bei DuckDuckGo fand (aktuell bin ich auf der Suche nach einem brauchbaren Ersatz.), und schon länger bei Mastodon entdecke. Kurzum, auch in Zeiten von LLMs (KI/ML eierlegende Wollmilchsäue)ja werden Blogs bestimmt eine Rolle spielen. Weiterhin als Nische wie seit vielen Jahren nach dem großen Hype, aber immer weiter. So glaube ich mit meinen sechzig Jahren doch noch einmal in die Welt hinauszublasen, was mein Hirn an brauch- und unbrauchbarem angesammelt hat. Wenn es gefällt, freue ich mich, dann war es nicht völlig umsonst. Wenn nicht, macht es auch nichts. Denn etwas ist gewiß: seit dem das Internet besteht, wird neben den oben genannten qualitativ hochwertigen Inhalten auch viel nicht wichtiges bis überflüssiges in die weite Welt geblasen. Ich hoffe, dass ich nicht zu letzteren geselle. Wenn nicht, hoffe ich wenigstens auf die Selbsterkenntnis, dass ich das selbst erkenne und das Bloggen lassen werde. Denn noch mehr Datenmüll zu produzieren ist nicht in die Idee diesen Blogs.

Substack’s new AI detection

Substack introduced a tool that detects “AI-assisted writing” in posts. Of course they did. Many of the most successful Substacks are run by professional writers, who are naturally concerned that AI could help others compete with their content. So creating a culture where using AI for writing is generally frowned upon is appealing to them.

Of course, using an AI-based tool to detect AI writing is the sloppiest way to fight AI slop. It does not consider the quality of the result, only the tools used. Useless content predates AI – it used to be called clickbait, often created by humans in so-called content farms.

It is better to continue using your own judgment about whether a piece is worth reading, rather than relying on a simple metric that tries to assess how much of a text is “human.”

25 July 2026

Visitors (working title): a small 8x10 inch painting of what began from close observation of a peeling decorative vinyl house address number I saw on a Wood Green recycling bin. Became a kind of totem upright in the night (memories of standing at the base of Sankaty Head Light). Or a garden and a butterfly, or a fake garden and a projection of a butterfly, or two visitors trying to mirror each other, or experience shifting into two dimensions (less time with the act, more with the storage). Serendipitously found a wax seal on an old envelope as the impulse to add an insect in flight arrived (it really helps to keep anything and everything around; ideas don't die but they hide). Yena said she has been writing about seeing cicada shells on the ground during walks in her neighborhood. I could also say that this work feels like childhood revisited with new tools, or a compressed and frozen metamorphosis, or a record of an imprinting. So content is coming around (by which I mean I'm not even considering it anymore), but I feel that the materiality needs to hurry up and dissolve. I'll let this one stand regardless—it's an okay waypoint and painting is logrolling.

“As a very young man he had spoken of his art as “andacht zum kleinen” (devotion to small things). In the Microcosm of his own visual world he worshipped the Macrocosm of the universe. This was his revolution.” – Sibyl Moholy-Nagy on Paul Klee in the introduction to Praeger Publishers' 1972 print of his Pedagogical Sketchbook (1953).

from The Declassified Files: Orthodox Judaism

This post is created out of disbelief regarding the one-sided love of the Christian communities towards Orthodox Jewish communities. I am sure that Christians have good theological reasons why to support Orthodox Jewish communities.However, I think that it is important that people know that it is one-sided.

Let's make it very clear, most Orthodox Jews think of Christians as “Idol worshipers”.

Here are some sources:

1# Rambam – Hilchot Avodah Zarah 9:4 (uncensored manuscripts)

The uncensored manuscripts contain wording identifying Christians with idol worship. Chabad's annotated edition explains:

“This statement appears to label Christianity as the worship of false gods. That view is clearly stated in Hilchot Avodat Kochavim 9:4.”

The original Hebrew manuscripts contain the phrase:

הנוצרים עובדי עבודה זרה הם

Translation:

“The Christians are worshippers of idolatry.”

This wording appears in the uncensored manuscripts discussed by scholars and later editions.

(found in uncensored manuscripts and critical editions of the Mishneh Torah. For centuries, many printed editions in Christian Europe had passages about Christianity altered or removed by censors. Modern scholarly editions often restore these readings based on manuscripts.)

2# Rambam – Commentary on the Mishnah, Avodah Zarah 1:3

In his commentary, Rambam writes (uncensored text):

דע שזאת האומה הנוצרית כולם עובדי עבודה זרה הם

Translation:

“Know that this Christian nation ... are all worshippers of idolatry.”

He continues that their houses of worship are:

בית עבודה זרה בלי ספק

Translation:

“A house of idolatry without any doubt.”

(found in uncensored manuscripts and critical editions of the Mishneh Torah. For centuries, many printed editions in Christian Europe had passages about Christianity altered or removed by censors. Modern scholarly editions often restore these readings based on manuscripts.)

From my personal experience, I can only say that, to the best of my recollection, I have never spoken to an Orthodox Jew who believed that Christianity is not idolatry.

However, there are rabbis who do believe that Christianity is not idolatry. They are, however, a minority. Nonetheless, many Christians are giving money to Orthodox communities while they are generally not really welcome to attend a synagogue service on Friday evening or Saturday. One time (in Europe) a rabbi invited a high profile priest with his entourage but the community was not very happy with this. Even though most of the community was not shomer shabbat. I would have expected a more moderate response from the community but I only heard mocking and vile remarks. Even people that are Jewish according to Jewish law (halacha) but are Christian are being mocked. The general Orthodox Jewish perspective on Christianity can be summarized as follows: their (Christian) theology is not even close to our sophisticated Talmud and Torah study, besides they belief in ridiculous things like the virgin Marry.

I understand, from a historical perspective, that most Jewish families are against Christianity. Look at the forced conversions and all the pogroms that happened against Jewish communities. However, your average Christian is not fully aware of these things and therefore their approach is often very naive.

from Internetbloggen

I de flesta sammanhang är bloggen redan historia. Reseskribenter flyttade till Instagram, matbloggarna hamnade på TikTok och de personliga dagboksbloggarna ersattes av tweets och stories. Formatet, ett textblock publicerat i kronologisk ordning och kommenterat av läsare, känns i dag som en relik från 2000-talet.

Varför gick det så? En del av svaret handlar om plattformarnas ekonomi. Instagram, TikTok och liknande tjänster bygger på algoritmiska flöden som belönar korta, snabbt konsumerade format. En bild eller en femton sekunder lång video kan nå tusentals nya människor på några timmar, medan ett blogginlägg oftast bara når de som redan följer bloggen eller råkar googla rätt sökord. När uppmärksamheten blev den knappa resursen, och plattformarna byggdes för att maximera just den, förlorade det långsamma textformatet i konkurrensen om vem som orkar läsa klart.

En annan del handlar om vad innehållet egentligen ska göra. Ett recept, en outfit eller en semesterbild säger sig själv bäst genom en bild. Texten blir där ett tillägg, inte huvudsaken. Det gjorde det naturligt för de bloggarna att flytta dit där bilden redan stod i centrum.

Men bokbloggen har klarat sig undan den vågen, och anledningen ligger i vad en bokrecension faktiskt kräver. En bild av ett bokomslag säger nästan ingenting om berättelsen, karaktärerna eller varför boken var värd tiden. Det behövs resonemang, jämförelser med andra verk, citat som sätts i sitt sammanhang. Kort sagt, det krävs plats, och plats är precis det bloggformatet ger som ett kort inlägg i ett flöde inte kan.

Läsarna spelar också in. Den som söker efter en fördjupad recension innan hen väljer nästa bok är sällan ute efter en trettio sekunder lång sammanfattning. Den läsaren vill se vad recensenten faktiskt tänkte, gärna med en jämförelse till författarens tidigare böcker eller ett resonemang om tema och stil. Det är en publik som redan är van vid att läsa, vilket gör den mer tålmodig med långa texter än genomsnittsanvändaren i ett socialt flöde.

Sökbarheten hjälper också bokbloggen att överleva. Många hittar en recension genom att googla en boktitel eller ett författarnamn, långt efter att inlägget publicerades. Ett gammalt blogginlägg kan fortsätta locka läsare i flera år, medan ett inlägg i ett socialt flöde försvinner ur cirkulation redan efter några dagar.

Två exempel på att formen fortfarande lever är Bokbrus och Lästips. Båda visar att bloggformatet inte behöver vara dött bara för att resten av internet gått vidare. Så länge det finns böcker att recensera, tips att dela och läsare som vill läsa mer än en rubrik, verkar bokbloggen ha hittat sin egen nisch där den fortfarande mår bra.

Well, as a surprise to me, my silly little Gravatar article was posted to Hacker News. This has called a lot of attention to the post, and made for some interesting comments. The most interesting of this is the claim that I have “cognitive dissonance”:

We live in a world with cognitive dissonance. We have to because if you don't you'd go insane.

This article is perhaps a good example of that. On the one hand live in public (post blogs, use the same avatar on multiple sites) but at the same time try and control how that publicness is consumed (humans only, no AI).

Right now, whatever you make public is in AI. Whether that is on HN, or your blog, or wherever. You may not like that, but public is ultimately public.

Ironically a blog post about leaving some service because they used the marketing phrase “AI”, is immediately added to the AI training corpus.

So, of course, I feel the need to respond to this.

First off, I don't have cognitive dissonance on this topic. Instead, I would say I have a rather refined set of principles when it comes to AI. But, I'm sure you aren't here to read all my thoughts on AI. So, I will summarize them as: AI is a technology that holds promise, but at this time it's not ready for public consumption. Despite what Alphabet, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other companies have you believing, there is still a lot of work and research that needs to be done. And, it seems that a substantial portion of the AI research community agrees with this stance, according to a report published by the AAAI.

Now, on to the idea that “whatever you make public is in AI.”

The questions surrounding this are matters for legal discourse. There are, in fact, many ongoing lawsuits with respect to AI companies (OpenAI, Meta, Alphabet, et al.) vacuuming up large quantities of copyrighted material into their system. There are currently 163 cases according to this tracker. Not just in the United States, but globally. Anthropic settled one case already, to the tune of $1.5 Billion, which shows that there is reason to believe these companies are aware of the harms they are doing in violating the ownership of the works they are ingesting.

This is not a matter of public versus private. This is a matter of ownership. In the U.S. and quite a few countries works are owned by their creators automatically on creation. Sharing a work publicly does not remove that ownership. Works are not transferred into the public domain for lengthy periods of time, unless the creator explicitly assigns their works to the public domain. (And, even then it's difficult to do. See the reasoning behind the Creative Commons 0 license.)

My ownership of a work means I have the right to control how that work is reproduced. I could, for example, assign the rights to reproduce the work to a publisher. Or I could transfer those rights to a foundation or another organization. I can even reproduce the work publicly, while still maintaining ownership of the work.

Social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc. are potentially a different matter. Originally they stated that their reproduction of your posts did not transfer ownership to them. However, over time, they have slid more and more towards a position that they have the right to reproduce your work in ways they feel is appropriate (this was mostly for advertising originally, but that's becoming increasingly blurry these days).

Alphabet has a contract with Reddit to slurp up users postings, and they are certainly using Gmail, YouTube and as many other sources as they can to train their AI. Meta is almost certainly using Facebook, Instagram, and What's App to train their AI's. And Elon's companies are doing whatever they can to feed Grok. But I don't have to capitulate to this loss of ownership. I've left all of those platforms behind for a reason. They might have whatever relics are left over from my time there, but I never agreed to their usage to feed AI systems, and I won't willingly provide them with more fodder.

Hopefully this clears up the misunderstanding that I might have “cognitive dissonance” where AI is concerned.

As a final side note: I was amused by the side discussion regarding the aesthetics of my site. As noted, the font is indeed Work Sans. And, I have done some very minor tweaks in terms of the spacing to make it nicely readable. The overall structure of the site is designed to be minimal. And, through its minimal design I'm aiming for each page to be small and fast loading (there is an issue here, which is based on how the underlying platform works). There are no images in the footer, the buttons are all HTML. The images I use are hand edited to reduce their size (I aim for under 250K per image). As for the color: I just wanted an earthy tone, but yeah, tan isn't really my favorite color either. As for the person that said they didn't like the logo, well what can I say? :) The logo is meant to be mildly humorous—the “A” being a triangle is intended to be a slight visual cue to the name “Unattributed” being a joke about the Attribution clause of the Creative Commons license. (IE, “Attribution: Unattributed”) Yeah—I know it's a joke that passes over most people heads.

Okay, this is just a silly little game for the fun of it. Why? Because this is one of those impulse things that I bought. Well, not completely an impulse purchase. It's something I've written about before, but definitely not the exact thing I've written about.

I've talked about Birth Year Collecting in the past, and I was honestly considering looking for something from my birth year for this purchase. But this isn't a birth year purchase.

Now I'm just being mean, right? I mean who blurs out the label on something “new”. Me. ;)

So, yeah, this might need a little cleaning, and a bit of work. But of all the items for sale of this make and model, this one was really in the best condition of all of them. And, to be honest, the lighting here is magnifying the scratches and a bit of dirt on it. When it's under normal lighting it looks absolutely stunning. I'm guessing the seller either carefully lit his photos, or possibly slightly retouched them. Personally, I can't blame him.

Okay, so here's the reveal:

Image of a Royal Sprite manual typewriter from the 1970s. Image of a Royal Sprite manual typewriter from the 1970s. Photo by Unattributed. License: Copyright Unattributed. Licensed under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0.

I'd like to say this is my first typewriter. It isn't. But, I don't know if I still have the Underwood that I used in high school to write my first story. Would be nice if I could find it, but no major loss: the story was utter garbage. I didn't have a clue about writing at all.

This Royal Sprite typewriter just shouted at me as soon as I laid eyes on it. It's this beautiful navy blue and cream. I love the clean lines, and the curve of the cover, the on the keys, just everything about it. And so far it seems to have been an excellent purchase. Okay, a few keys don't return properly. But from my investigation, it doesn't appear to be serious. A little cleaning and lubricant should fix the problem quite easily.

So, as I mentioned before: this isn't a birth year typewriter. I still plan to get one. I have an idea of what I would like to find, so now I am just watching for the exact one that I want. I'll say this much: it will be an electric typewriter. And, it won't be portable.

If you'd like to see more photographs of this typewriter, I am going to post a full set of six photos on my Pixelfed when this article goes live.
