Weizenbaum was an MIT computer scientist who built one of the first chatbots, ELIZA. He wrote the book out of a growing sense of horror as he saw how “extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people” ...

Golo Roden making a sharp case at #EventModeling Conference 2026 (Munich): your domain model belongs in version control, next to the code - not stranded in a drawing tool. Enter ESDM: event-sourced domains as YAML you can lint, diff & review like any other file.

"Event Sourcing for the other 95%" - Allard Buijze opening Day 2 of #EventModeling Conference 2026 in Munich. His point: this isn't reserved for a small circle of experts. The techniques are within reach for everyday developers. Q&A below.

Every large company that’s mandated AI adoption now has this problem. The good engineers are 5x more productive with AI while underperformers are now even worse and delivering 0.5x their previous impact while making their coworkers miserable from dealing with AI slop. It’s the era of Sloppenheimer

What a surprise ….. “Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in — and they’re not good Reliance on artificial-intelligence tools degrades the abilities of physicians and software engineers, studies show.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Apply critical thinking and continue to learn the fundamentals so we don’t turn into token munching maniacs.

After two days with Claude Fable 5 the best way I can describe it is "relentlessly proactive" - here's an example where I dropped in a screenshot of a bug and it span up custom CORS Python servers and used pyobjc-framework-Quartz to capture screenshots simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/11/...

LLMs are no longer created w/ human data alone. They rely on other models to generate & filter data, evaluate outputs, & guide dev work. So what is a modern LLM built on? Olmo 3 → 89 model + 183 dataset dependencies; Nemotron 3 → 273 + 560 We made ModSleuth to trace this. 🧵

Holy balls. I knew GenAI coding was subsidised with Github wow, a 10x jump in a single month? "your bill will be $4,790 more next month, upgrading your subscription tier will reduce that by $69" This is from @arstechnica.com's piece arstechnica.com/ai/2026/06/a...

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

AI has taken over open source, and the data is wild: • npm is now seeing 100k+ packages published per month • packages with em dashes in READMEs jumped from ~5% to 30%+ • AI is increasingly writing packages and choosing dependencies Awesome post by @staltz.com: socket.dev/blog/ai-has-...

Inspired by @hankgreen.bsky.social's fun new timeline of photos from the Artemis II mission, I wrote up an answer to a question that's more pertinent these days than it may seem: Why are the Artemis II photos on Flickr? www.anildash.com/2026/04/30/a...

What a London Marathon. Tigst Assefa defends her title in 2:15:41 - a new women world record. Then Sebastian Sawe runs 1:59:30 - the first sub-two-hour marathon in a real race. The barrier they said wouldn’t fall just fell. #LondonMarathon #Sawe #Assefa #Marathon #WorldRecord​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year. And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone. “All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted, and 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050. Keep going with this, Paris.
