@oscarjiminy I heard this on Doug Henwood's radio show Behind the News. He didn't win WBAI's "best music in a show about economics and politics" award for nothing.

Managing VC funded companies in the US is largely a revolving door sport played by wealthy families.
Even Variety review referred to Billy Evans as "repugnant in his cockiness" so naturally THAT guy is starting Theranos 2.0.
The new company is called Haemanthus and will be using "AI" to build a REAL blood test this time they promise that will be built into a wearable device.
Evans has no background in this area... 😅 🥴

After 37 years, @cathywilcox quits the SMH after war over 7 January 2026 antisemitism critique of the Liberal Party.
The Press Council ruled that Cathy's 'grassroots puppets' trope signs amounted to spreading antisemitism, demonstrating wilful stupidity on how editorial cartoons work. Disingenuous dolts.
Love you dearly Cathy. You were dead right when you told RW attack media to 'fuck right off.'

The W3C Web Authentication Working Group is pleased to publish Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials Level 3 as a W3C Recommendation.
This specification defines an API enabling the creation and use of strong, attested, scoped, public key-based credentials by web applications, for the purpose of strongly authenticating users.
Congratulations and thank you to the Working Group, Chairs, Editors and Contributors. See:

@oscarjiminy Yes, class war profits. Also notable is the caveat about the big tech firms investing in each other implying a certain bubblishness.

Tony Greenstein won his case by choosing to tell the jury its context (his barrister could be punished for doing so).
Once given a chance to hear all the facts, the jury accepted his arguments, incl that the UK judiciary were readily conniving in the state's growing authoritarianism.
Tellingly, Greenstein’s victory was almost entirely ignored by the msm.

On August 26, the United States designated Autistici/Inventati a terrorist organization and placed the Italian communications collective on its sanctions list.
Since 2001, A/I has provided movements with volunteer-run email, websites, mailing lists, Noblogs and other tools built to resist censorship, surveillance and corporate control.
On September 25, the temporary U.S. wind-down period ends. Banks, hosts, registrars and technology providers may cut services or withdraw relationships. A/I built its infrastructure to survive servers disappearing. This attack is aimed at making the collective economically and technologically untouchable.
A/I has now responded publicly: “We deny all allegations.” The collective says it “will not back down” and declares: “Antifascism and anticapitalism are not terrorism. Protesting is not terrorism.” Read its complete statement at cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10076.
Read their history. Share their work. Preserve public archives. Document over-compliance. Organize independently. Defend resistant communication.
U.S. supporters should not improvise donations, reroute funds or promise coordinated services without qualified legal advice. Independent reporting, education, protest, criticism and responsible preservation remain essential.

" More than seven decades after the Nakba, Palestinians in Lebanon are still paying the price of their uprooting from Palestine while simultaneously paying the price of policies of deprivation that restrict their ability to work and own property and deny them their most basic human rights."

The money to pay for this year's #Budget increase in Defence spending is coming from cuts to funding for disability supports in the #NDIS.
At the same time, government is still refusing to make fossil fuel exporters pay for what they mine from lands and waters stolen from First Nations people, and the destruction to Australia's biodiversity and contribution to global carbon emissions.
Come to Monday's 12pm rally at Parliament in Canberra to fight against cutting the NDIS to pay for war machines and fossil fuel subsidies!

you guys do realize that all these hallmarks of "AI" browsers/scrapers are also the same things that accessibility tools do, right? because both interact with a webpage as a big pile of text, not as a bunch of 2d images you can click on.
but it's fine. we should be feeding deliberately fake data to any browser that doesn't act exactly like the latest version of google chrome with all tracking features enabled. we should block entire ASNs permanently because a single connection did something that looked kind of weird in one of your access logs. we should force every device to burn compute hours solving proof of waste puzzles because we need to fight those evil AI companies wasting compute hours. we are the good guys and we are doing the right thing.

Who would have thought that ignoring scientists' warnings about humans' effect on the cllimate would lead to exactly what the scientists predicted?

Iranian news sources this morning released diagrams helping explain how Donald Trump safely made it out of his last international trip near the region.
Trump famously threatened the lives of Iranian peace negotiators yet he himself is now so afraid to be anywhere near negotiaitons that he cut and ran.
He literally left the press core and support staff in his place... surely the press would call that a "human shield" situation, right?

Israeli occupation forces and extremist settlers cut the last water line serving 47 Palestinian families in Ras Al-Ahmar in the occupied Jordan Valley, leaving nearly 200 Palestinians without access to water.
The cutoff threatens their ability to remain in the area and risks forcing them to flee their homes.

This article starts with a story from someone who tried Claude Code and found it amazing, but then switches to the same person a few months later seeing what a disaster it’s been. This quote is key:
The problem is that code produced by an AI agent looks reasonable, but can contain ‘hard-to-spot bugs’ that end up causing major problems
LLMs, by their nature, generate statistically plausible output. That is often a set that overlaps with correct output. But the things that are not correct look exactly the same as the ones they are.
Learning to review code is hard. You look for the bugs that you expect to be possible implementing it by using your theory of mind for the person writing the code and the kinds of things that they might overlook (not necessarily a specific person, but the kinds of things people miss) and also common bug classes.
And the big help is that the person writing the code is not thinking adversarially. They are not trying to sneak bugs in. Normally. Unless they’re a supply-chain attacker, and we’ve a depressing amount of evidence that code review doesn’t catch supply-chain attacks.
An LLM is not trying to do anything. It has no intent. But it is a machine that is trained on code that made it past code review. The kind of bugs that it will generate are ones that look like code that appeared in production. This is exactly what an attacker would do: try to write code that looks correct but is subtly wrong.
I’m only being slightly flippant when I say LLMs are a mechanism for brining supply chain attacks in house.

Israeli real estate companies are marketing land belonging to Palestinians in the West Bank to Jewish American buyers. We spoke to the Palestinians who are being displaced in order to make way for new Jewish settlement construction.
