Yikes.

Here are the 7 senate democrats who voted to continue sending bombs to Netanyahu. Richard Blumenthal (CT) Chris Coons (DE) Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) John Fetterman (PA) Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) Jackie Rosen (NV) Chuck Schumer (NY)

I keep encountering, online and off, people who believe if an unethical tech becomes functional enough, that will make all the naysayers abandon their concerns and start using That is, if LLMs become good enough then surely we will look past the deception, violations, abuse, and extremist politics?

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

There is hope for the future.

Given some of the things he's said publicly, this should come as a surprise to no one.

I thought I was sick of the thought of space travel. Turned out I was really sick of billionnaire vanity projects. What NASA's doing is incredible and has got me excited about space exploration again.

Renowned Iranian composer, Ali Ghamsari and tar virtuoso, announced he will stay at the Damavand Combined Cycle Power Plant. His plan: Create music there as a symbolic effort to shield Iran's infrastructure from attack. @iranscreenshot

"Half" is a good start.

All the devs saying that Anthropic’s code quality is “normal” are telling on themselves and everybody they’ve worked with (Also supports what many have been saying about software quality being a crisis that precedes LLMs, but that’s another story)

This is quite excellent.

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

I support European countries that are striving for digital sovereignty, but if European countries want the support of the open source community, then they should consider alternatives to violating the copyrights of open source projects. I'll leave a link to OnlyOffice's concerns in the comments.

"[I]t would deny creatives the two things they consistently ask for from AI companies, payment and permission. It ... would remove any existing obligation on AI companies to get people’s consent before exploiting their work for commercial gain."

Excellent.

> In short, if friction is neglected, morale quickly ends up in the toilet and no progress to speak of can be made. The whole piece is very good

I've previously found that dispensing with politeness when dealing with folks that weaponize politeness (e.g. narcissists, trolls, sociopaths, etc.) can be quite effective, but I've never been able to articulate how and why it's effective. Einar articulates the idea quite nicely.

We must not lose sight of this lawlessness. Trump is unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner. This is murder — and it is a danger to us all. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

The *data* is real, but the conclusions made by the author are naive. Generative models don't lie, cheat, evade, scheme, shame, connive, pretend, con, or confess. All of these observations are anthropomorphizations of models that generate statistically likely responses based on training data.

Please share widely!

after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...

I would love to hear about ethical alternatives to GitHub, especially if they support `git lfs`.

I considered the possibility that this might be an early April Fools joke.

"I understand and respect how challenging a world it is for experts and idea generators these days. I’ve made a long career out of being a partner to folks like you..." No, you've made a career out of taking advantage of creatives, just like every other narcissistic tech oligarch. Fuck you.

Hi, my name is Mike, and I’ve never laid off a single person in 9 years of running my video game studio

I hate it here.

If you write an article with the title, "50 percent of consumers prefer brands that avoid GenAI content", use an AI generated image just below the title, and imply in the text that you agree that generative models are a problem, then you're a part of the problem and you should feel bad.

Republicans only leave laws up to the states when it suits their purpose.

I like Bernie. I'm generally on board with 80-85% of his ideas. This? Not so much. Having a "conversation" with a model that generates statistically average responses based on training data makes the model *seem* conscious to folks that don't know better. It gives LLMs undeserved credibility.

There is no such thing as a "rogue AI". The LLM did what LLMs always do: it generated a statistically likely response based on its training data. A bad engineer than acted on that data without thinking, and caused a high severity incident.

Instead of adding an "AI companion" to "help" users navigate or understand your site, fix the UI/UX issues that prevent users from easily navigating and understanding your site in the first place. I'm thinking of Quest Diagnostics in particular, but there are plenty of sites with similar issues.

“If No One Pays for Proof, Everyone Will Pay for the Loss” https://freakonometrics.hypotheses.org/89367 > Even when a result looks correct on a small scale, that tells us almost nothing about its effects on the system as a whole This is what I've been saying for years now to thundering silence.

Indeed.
