ABC News (Australia): Will the art of biography be lost when AI and algorithms control our data?. “I have spent the past three years knee-deep in such treasures researching the life of Dame Quentin Bryce and as I uncovered golden nuggets revealing the inner thoughts and behind-the-scenes discussions of our first female governor-general, I started to wonder, ‘how will the next generation of […]

Text of poem -

Correspondence.

You ask why I don't write.
But what is there to say?
The salt current swings in and out of the bay, as it has done time out of mind. How does that help?
It leaves illegible writing on the shore. If you were here, we would quarrel about it.
People file past this seascape as ignorantly as through a gallery of great art. I keep searching for meaning.
The waves are a moving staircase to climb, but in thought only.
The fall from the top is as sheer as ever. Younger I deemed truth was to come at beyond the horizon.
Older I stay still and am as far off as before. These nail-parings bore you? They explain my silence.
I wish there were as simple an explanation for the silence of God.

Ellisland, 1791

Dear Sir:

Thou eunuch of language; thou Englishman, who never was south the Tweed; thou servile echo of fashionable barbarisms; thou quack, vending the nostrums of empirical elocution; thou marriage-maker between vowels and consonants, on the Gretna-green of caprice; thou cobler, botching the flimsy socks of bombast oratory; thou blacksmith, hammering the rivets of absurdity; thou butcher, embruing thy hands in the bowels of orthography; thou arch-heretic in pronunciation; thou pitch-pipe of affected emphasis; thou carpenter, mortising the awkward joints of jarring sentences; thou squeaking dissonance of cadence; thou pimp of gender; thou Lyon Herald to silly etymology; thou antipode of grammar; thou executioner of construction; thou brood of the speech-distracting builders of the Tower of Babel; thou lingual confusion worse confounded; thou scape-gallows from the land of syntax; thou scavenger of mood and tense; thou murderous accoucheur of infant learning; thou ignis fatuus, misleading the steps of benighted ignorance; thou pickle-herring in the puppet-show of nonsense; thou faithful recorder of barbarous idiom; thou persecutor of syllabication; thou baleful meteor, foretelling and facilitating the rapid approach of Nox and Erebus.

R.B.

#Nature #Correspondence Tackle fake citations generated by AI nature.com/articles/d41586-025 “As an editor and associate editor of several journals, I have observed an increase in references generated by artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models over the past two years.

These fake citations can propagate through scientific literature, decreasing the reliability of published research. A coordinated effort across stakeholders is needed to combat the issue.

Supervisors should verify manuscript reference sections.

Fake citations typically lack a DOI therefore journals could mandate the use of DOIs in references, where available. This could have the added benefit of making it easier for reviewers to check citations, and might encourage careful citation practices.“

I wanted to correspond with others learning Esperanto. Years ago, I subscribed to a letter exchange for people seeking to correspond. I liked that because reading letters from distant places was fun & I could practice my italic (leisureguy.ca/2007/08/17/itali).
As the internet grew, snail mail died, a shame: a personal letter in the mailbox is a pleasure most people will never know.

Today, though, I found mylanguageexchange.com

I'll try that.
