We do not want "aligned" genAI. We want it wiped off the face of the earth!

@chrisstoecker An idea: A "simple" way to curb AI development could be to limit energy consumption for AI companies and their data centers. This could probably be ordered quite easily by the governements.

@accessnow wins for “Fostering Change in Human Rights and Technology.” For years, they’ve worked hard to be the team companies and lawmakers can't ignore when tech policy and human rights collide. accessnow.org/ (2/6)

That "oh so powerful AGI everyone is developing that could kill us all" works on electricity. Just cut its power supply.

(Yes, another "I resigned from Anthropic today" is scaremongering on the hellsite.)

If you really love CSS and want to get involved with an open source operating system—and more specifically app framework—that doesn’t use AI and really pisses off white supremacist homophobes, I would love your help!

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like node.js effectively ended up merging the vibe-coding vfs implementation that caused all the drama a few months ago? Just in a different set of pull requests that were still 14k lines long?

By 2021, U.S. spending on post-9/11 foreign and domestic militarization had reached $21 trillion. Sarah Lazare examined what those resources could have done to address climate change.

Red or blue, states across the country have adopted anti-SLAPP laws because they recognize that free speech deserves strong protection. North Dakota should too.

An anti-SLAPP law would keep North Dakota from becoming a magnet for frivolous lawsuits aimed at silencing speech.

In 2025, Rebecca Burns reported on Seattle’s Vienna-inspired social housing plan: publicly owned buildings where low- and middle-income neighbors live together, higher rents subsidize lower ones and tenants help govern.

Imagine the shit people may think of something if "without it" is the bst possible marketing move.

Whoa. @libreoffice unleashes “no AI as a feature” and breaks download records.

“In one week, the installer was downloaded more than 1 million times — not counting updates via Linux distribution repositories.”

Great work, LibreOffice team! 👏🏻

RE: infosec.exchange/@0xabad1dea/1

This stuff is really starting to make me _angry_. Every one of these new "achievements" looks plausible and like Lucy with the football, people I trust keep telling me it actually works and surely this time it's real. And then like clockwork, 3-6 months later, it turns out that the efficacy of this new technique is somewhere between "break even" and "fraud".

They're turning our whole industry, my entire life's work, into a goddamn memecoin pump and dump scam and I just don't know what to do.

@0xabad1dea Just before they did the ‘security’ stuff, someone sent me a ‘comprehensive code review’ of one of my projects. Most of the performance things were lifted directly from open issues I’d written, but one that it flagged as high importance was an intentional design decision.

It pointed out that one operation does a broadcast cache invalidation that invalidates all caches, rather than the subset that it actually needs to. The recommendation was to switch to having fine-grained cache state tracking. The problem is, that actually made cache accesses more expensive on the most performance-critical path in the system. Cache invalidations happened less than once every million accesses in typical programs, so this was an incredibly unusual case and optimising for it hurt performance everywhere else.

But, because it didn’t actually understand the code or the context, it saw a pattern that was slow and matched it to a high-severity warning.

I would expect it to do exactly the same thing with security reports. Memory-safety bug in a code path that can be reached only via trusted data? Highest severity!
