Ain't wrong. The next decades will make this clear for everyone.

Researchers say an #AI #agent just ran a ransomware attack from start to finish, with no human at the keyboard - https://thenextweb.com/news/ai-agent-first-end-to-end-ransomware-attack "The agent it dubbed JADEPUFFER broke in, stole credentials, and wiped a production database, with a ransom note the victim can never satisfy.

The ratio of things you want to change to things you can change is typically 99:1. But focusing on that 1% is worth every minute. Do not feel inferior because you have to leave 99% unsolved. Do your 1%. Trust the community. Other people will be inspired to work on their 1%. In sum we can reach 120%. Take your ego out of the equation. Do what you are good at. We will win. And celebrate your every little win. Locally. With your friends. Peace :)

A legal challenge to a policy that shuts independent reporters out of the Utah statehouse can move forward.

Lawmakers shouldn’t wait for the courts. They can restore access for all journalists by ending this unconstitutional policy now.

#LoRes Mesh is designed to be _public interest infrastructure_. We're trying to sit in the grey area between a network of autonomous servers and a centralised system. Instead, we're looking for multiple parties to come together and collectively steward a commons that is important for everyone.

As part of this, we've made a breaking change to the API that apps use to talk to lores-node, in order to better support each LoRes Node being part of multiple Regions. This change is a bit philosophical, so lets talk first about what a Region is, and why it supports good stewardship of the commons.

FIFA was already one of the most corrupt major sports organizations on the planet. Given that, doing Trump's bidding by revoking the US player's red card is not exactly surprising...

Code reviewing was never the most interesting thing to do. But it had one important element. That, if done right, it was knowledge exchange between the reviewer and the coder. That can be quite motivating. Helping a fellow coder to become better. Reviewing "AI" written code does NOT come with that potential reward. The machine doesn't learn the way a human does. This turns code reviewing into a menial, fruitless task that leads to frustration instead. That's my observation and opinion.
