Banning cryptocurrency is such a slam dunk for an anti-corruption campaign

“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” Intentional or unintentional this was pretty savage

i’ve worked in tech more than 20 years. it has never been more ridiculous.

It took me this long to find out MusicBrainz Picard exists. i always had this massive problem with my parents' massive mp3 collection and its lack of metadata. But Picard handled it in a few hours, and fixed up the file structure for Plex. What a good video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d2c...

🚨 Bitwarden CLI 2026.4.0 was compromised as part of the ongoing Checkmarx supply chain campaign after attackers abused a GitHub Action in Bitwarden’s CI/CD pipeline. We’ll continue updating our coverage as more details are confirmed. socket.dev/blog/bitward...

NEW: At least two surveillance vendors are believed to be abusing access to at least three telecommunication companies in an effort to tap people's location data on behalf of their government customers. The phone companies include one in Israel, one in the U.K., and one in Jersey (Channel Island).

I legitimately keep on being surprised at how tech illiterate tech pests actually are. Like they keep on being like 'look at this new and innovative feature we've just added to our LLM' and it's some basic tool that has existed since MS DOS.

Had Miyamoto died in 1998, his achievements would have been immortal. Had he died in 2013, he would still have been a great man but flawed. But he is still alive and complaining about movie critics. Alas, what can one say?

It's as simple as that. This is another case of an owner of real state and who knows how much stock letting the rest of the classes of the world to get on with the program and start spending more tokens so that the owners get more money. robbreport.com/shelter/cele...

"Lego Smart Play" looks like it would be a pretty good toy. You know, for children. The proble is it costs like 3 million dollars. Lego out there expecting Parents to spend Mindstorms money on a flashy brick which beeps?

everywhere you look, they’re adding rate limits and raising the price per token. it’s almost as if the bill is coming due and they can’t keep throwing money at making something happen that isn’t happening.

Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse

One of the reasons the wealthy want AI to be a thing is exactly thing. No matter how desperate or brain washed real teachers could get. This would be too cynical and too embarrassing for human beings to be part of. But this is not a problem for John AI. bsky.app/profile/hype...

A researcher says she made up a disease with two posts on Medium, which led to Copilot telling users it was "intriguing and relatively rare." Posting two preprint papers about it online led to ChatGPT diagnosing people with it. 🧪 skepchick.org/2026/04/chat...

Don't do free advertising for big tech companies. "AI agents" are just apps. And they don't have "skills". They are plugins.

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

That thing where if you save phone numbers on your phone, you'll get worse at remembering phone numbers on your own. But in the case of phone numbers, it's really not a big deal. For starters, your device does not have a chance to "misremember" a phone number. > bsky.app/profile/rach...

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

It's really incredible how even after so many years Nintendo can somehow still think of completely novel ways to ruin Mario Maker 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkJO...

I'm getting so tired of media "analysis" or "critique" that's just "omgggg this could all be over if the characters just talkeddd to each other" yeah and where would the fun be in that. Why do you want your entertainment to read like an HR powerpoint presentation on workplace boundaries

the goddamn company itself is calling its own game a trojan horse to spread AI acceptance fuck this game forever, fuck these devs. do not trust any amount of backpedaling.

This is so, so well-articulated.

Although this will be disagreed. I couldn't really care less about "physicall copies". Digital Copies are actually the best option for Game Preservation.

Claude employees have an "undercover mode" to create PRs for open source projects that hide the fact they were vibe coded. This is a really nasty attack on open source. archive.fo/zlGtQ#select...

One of the reasons to maybesuspect AI might not be ready yet is the fact that in order for them to *hope* to make it work they need to build and endless supply of gigantic data centers the noise alone makes kilometers of radius inhabitable for 50 secs of video bsky.app/profile/adam...
