More than ever, fraudsters are using AI to clone the voices of organizational leaders and fool employees into helping them steal millions. Newsrooms should be prepared.

Foreign Intelligence Has Easy Access To White House IT Systems Thanks To Dodgy Russian Proxy Software - https://www.techdirt.com/2026/11/12/foreign-intelligence-has-easy-access-to-white-house-it-systems-thanks-to-dodgy-russian-proxy-software/

@davidgerard yeah the whole "it works if you just prompt it carefully and build harnesses and verification etc etc" argument misses the point that the *entire* claimed benefit of LLMs - speed - is negated, since you could just code it yourself and actually understand it AND not pay for a stupid tool that makes everyone in the room stupid and depressed.

Healthcare is a human right, fuck everyone who thinks otherwise 🤷

What a terrible (but unsurprising) stance from Rep. Himes.

There’s no need to rush Section 702 reauthorization.

Let the new Congress debate and decide whether the government needs a warrant to spy on Americans.

Email migration underway. I'm trying out Posteo as my main provider, and for now have shifted my custom domain from Tuta to Mailbox.org (although I'm not 100% happy that Mailbox doesn't completely reject LLMs, they do appear to trying to be slightly responsible).

Haven't decided if I'll completely abandon my custom domain and just shift everything to a Posteo email. We'll see.

We had to temporarily restrict pulling images from the Codeberg container registry due to an abuse wave. This is related to authenticated traffic being slow earlier today.

We're sorry for the inconvenience. No ETA for a fix, but we're working on it. ~dmi

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.

So far it’s been working!

Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow or find a way to implement AI in our work with a client, I’ve returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 AI.

Things like “when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y”.

And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on AI have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.

They think it’s the same thing. They just don’t understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.

If you use Humble Bundle, surprise! They replaced their entire website with insecure slopcode garbage, so maybe delete your payment details as soon as possible there since there’s obviously no way this stays a good safe for long

If you remember anything of this "political realignment," please remember this: Every Neera Tanden and Ezra Klein telling you that sad introspective capitalists deserve another chance are people telling you the cunts who tried to murder you and your family and your country should be allowed to get away with that because those same cunts can afford a PR company to say they didn't really mean it and to pay center-right liberal mercs, like Neera Tanden and Ezra Klein, to be character witnesses.

The opinions of people who apologize for neo-nazis are worth exactlyfuckall and, hey, you fuck one goat . . .

In my area there are several venues that have notes up saying they refuse to take AI-generated posters.

Three AI-generated posters were put up recently and all were quickly taken down. All three events returned later with posters designed by local artist/designers, with the person named on each poster.

All the events are run by people I know, who are nice and I'm sure meant no harm. But the action of refusal raised awareness and made them then hire artists. Call that a double-win!

#GenAI

this is the stupidest way for the bubble to start to deflate.

Is AI worth the price? The costs of AI extend far beyond its immediate impact. Why are we accepting them? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/11/12/is-ai-worth-the-price/

Welcome to 2026. I forgot to renew the domain homebrewserver.club and by the time I realized it got sniped. Its a big bummer and I was expecting some online casino on it but its far worse.

The person that got it made an AI generated version of it, containing some of the old content but also adding new content about AI. The problematic thing is that it is relatively hard to tell apart from the old version as it is clearly trying to impersonate and smuggle in new content.

Do not trust whatever appears on that domain as it is not me or anyone from @varia

I will purge all references to that URL where possible but it will be misleading, annoying and possibly dangerous for a good while.

Don't forget to renew your domains.
