Before, the human was the weakest part of any cybersecurity system. AI changes this.

Martin Scorsese's jumped on the AI train, seemingly believing the plagiarism machine can help with storyboarding.

Obligatory meme (yoinked off Discord's GIF search, AI extruded itself, ironically enough):

Before AI, the user was the weakest part of any cybersecurity system. Now, that has completely changed.

Roko's Basilisk and other such batshit rat shit was mainstreamed as part of inflating the AI bubble - I doubt this will be the last time something like this gets referenced.

edit: the in-game painting looks hella AI generated too.

Seems pretty fitting to an illustration made in reverence to Roko's Bullshittery. I don't notice any obvious signs of slop-machine generation - either I'm shit at spotting slop, or this was made by human hands.

At this rate, Adobe Flash is gonna come back into relevance by being one of the few things not slopified into uselessness

(it almost certainly won't, but I find it oddly hard to rule out the possibility)

rsync

Huh, haven't heard of that before, lemme go check its Wikipedia page and-

rsync (remote sync) is a utility for transferring and synchronizing files between a computer and a storage drive and across networked computers

Okay this sounds very fucking bad

New(ish) Baldur Bjarnason - a fairly politically charged one at that, going into the US hegemony powering the current tech industry (and the AI bubble by extension), and how the Hormuz crisis is all-but guaranteed to topple the whole thing.

Google is forcibly installing Gemini Nano onto every Chrome installation without the user's knowledge, and actively re-installing it if the user deletes it. Probably an attempt to juice the numbers.

New blog from Iris Meredith: Engineering judgement and the Claude Code paradox

Based off her own unusually good experience with Claude, the general thrust is about sneerers being better-equipped to use AI than boosters.

Starting this Stubsack off with a double bill from the tech world.

First, Blender accepted cash and slop commits from Anthropic, and Adobe'd their public image in the process. They put out some corpo-speak to try and quell the mob, but it isn't working.

Second, FFmpeg put out a showcase of AI's coding prowess:

At some point, Anthropic puts up its prices so much the companies try to go back to brain coders. They hand these actual human coders a toxic waste dump of AI slop code that is literally incomprehensible to humans and can’t be fixed in less time than it would take to start over. This does not end well.

Given the slop bots have been actively destroying their users' coding abilities for the past 2-3 years, finding someone capable of unfucking their codebases will be a bit of a challenge.
