„By Wednesday morning, Anthropic representatives had used a copyright takedown request to force the removal of more than 8,000 copies and adaptations of the raw Claude Code instructions—known as source code—that developers had shared on programming platform GitHub.“

Because if there’s one thing GenAI companies absolutely don’t take lightly, it’s copyright.

Rubber Ducking

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

Today, we're introducing three things.

The first one is a forum. A real forum - with categories, threads, and actual conversations that don't disappear in a timeline after six minutes.

The second is a Fediverse platform. Fully federated, ActivityPub-native. Your posts go out, the world's posts come in. No walled gardens, no algorithms, no tricks.

The third is a Bar. A place to sit down, talk to strangers who happen to care about the same weird things you do, and stay as long as you want.

A forum. A Fediverse platform. A bar.

Are you getting it?
These are not three separate things. This is one thing.

And we're calling it Billboard.

And no, we checked the calendar. We know. This is not an April Fools' joke.

We're just really bad at timing.

Our volunteer sign-up is live – and that's no joke!
Sign up as a volunteer, take part of a very special community and help run the festival.

Doing one shift gives you free entry on the day of the fest, and doing two shifts gives you free access to all three days! You will be provided with food and drink tickets for each shift. Sign up with some good friends and have fun during your shifts too!

If you have any questions about volunteering, get in touch at: ktownvolunteer@gmail.com

Ready for another joke? 🥁

The Irish Data Protection Commission, which is responsible for most major technology companies (#Meta, #Google, #Apple, #OpenAI, #Microsoft,...) actually imposes fines in just 0.26% of the cases it handles. And even when a fine is imposed, the money is almost never collected. 🤡

Anthropic's Claude Code's full source code leaked. Claude is seen by many to be the best coding LLM on the market with Anthropic proudly stating that Claude Code itself is mostly written by the LLM.

Now this sounds good as long as nobody can see the code which is quite the trash fire. Detecting "code sentiment" via regular expressions, variable and functions names containing prompt parts trying to influence the bot, a completely intransparent mess of a control flow that makes actual maintenance and debugging functionally impossible and the prompts ... of the prompts. All the begging and pleading to the chatbot not to do this or not to do that or please to do this.

It is fascinating but it is as far away from actual engineering as drunkenly pissing your name in the snow. Dunno what you call the people prompting software at Anthropic but "engineer" is not it.

Now it is fun to look at the currently hyped product striped bare and showing its pathetic quality but that is the future of software if we let those companies continue to undermine every good practice software engineering has tried establishing.

The software we have to use will be bad, insecure, unmaintainable, expensive with nobody having the skills or resources to build something better. As I wrote a few months ago: LLM based software production is equivalent to saying that fast fashion should be the only way to produce clothing. A tragic degeneration of the quality of the artefacts we rely on build for maximum profit on the backs of people in countries from the global majority.

Is the democratic party afraid to say 'no oligarchs' instead of 'no kings' bc so many of the donors paying their leadership and consultants oligarchs?

I remember cynically joking last year that all the "advanced" AIs like Claude were just the same LLMs with a bunch of regexes glued onto them

now that the source has leaked: HAHAHA

Movements Conference against Big Tech

"We are movements and anti-capitalist activists who practise various forms of resistance against big tech. We want to bring together interested people, activists and movements, network and connect local struggles. We want to deepen our understanding of the problem, exchange ideas about necessary forms of action, develop strategies together and advance the resistance."

How Much Will Crown Prince Bonesaw Tolerate? - https://emptywheel.net/2026/03/31/how-much-will-crown-prince-bonesaw-tolerate/ "Particularly given the claim that Rubio scolded the Saudis for attending to their own security, there’s no reason to believe that Trump would treat MbS — bone saws and all — any differently than he would, say, Keir Starmer."

Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry https://xcancel.com/Fried_rice/status/2038894956459290963 😂

Guess what? Most of code is either slop or even old good regex like for detecting negative sentiment in users prompt which is then logged

These tools are going to replace 80% of all dev jobs and their plugin is gonna maintain all security and banking code? 🤡

@cwebber I would argue that it's worse, in fact.
- Bad AI art slop is generally static: the processing has been done, it just sits there and looks bad.
- Bad vibe-coded slop is dynamic: it consumes memory, power, and cycles while it's being awful, and that consumption may be unbounded.
- Most people have some innate aesthetic sense and can judge bad AI art slop without a lot of training (although training probably helps)
- Vibe code looks like good code 'cuz LLMs copy structure well, but isn't.
