  • A journalist attempts to ask the question "Why Do Americans Hate A.I.?", and shows their inability to tell actually useful tech from lying machines:

    Bonus points for gaslighting the public on billionaires' behalf:

  • There's also skyview.social, which I personally use since I am not interested in signing up.

  • Good for them. Not quite abandoning the project and deleting it, but its a good move from them nonetheless.

  • Foz Meadows brings a lengthy and merciless sneer straight from the heart, aptly-titled "Against AI"

  • Alternate (likely harebrained) idea: sell the fediverse as a national security thing, and try to get a defence contract out of it

    Reducing government/military reliance on tech corps would reduce the leverage they (and their CEOs) have over them, reducing the risk of, say, a repeat of that time Elon Musk fucked over Ukraine).

  • Defaults are pretty good - didn't need to do much to feel comfortable.

    I jumped ship to Librewolf a year and a half ago (after seeing Mozilla steal people's data and sell it to advertisers), and I'm pretty fucking thankful for that. For anyone looking to leave Mozilla to rot, I highly recommend it.

  • Main thing I knew Karl for is losing a defamation lawsuit to vexatious litigant par excellence Billy Mitchell, after he falsely blamed Billy for driving speedrun YouTuber Apollo Legend to kill himself, refused to retract his claims despite a complete lack of evidence, then misrepresented the lawsuit as being over Billy's well-substantiated cheating allegations whilst raising money on GoFundMe.

    Jobst's past as a pick-up artist (plus some racist Discord posts from him) would resurface in the wake of his loss, which goes some way to explain why the anti-woke shit went "unnoticed".

  • 10x developers, 0.1x proletariat.

  • The monorail salespeople at Checkmarx have (allegedly) discovered a new exploit for code extruders.

    The "attack", titled "Lies in the Loop", involves taking advantage of human-in-the-loop """safeguards""" to create fake dialogue prompts, thus tricking vibe-coders into running malicious code.

  • In the case of loitering munitions (also known as kamikaze drones, or suicide drones), you'd be correct - by design, they're intended to crash into their target before blowing them up. Some reportedly do have recovery options built-in, but that's only to avoid wasting them if they go unused.

  • For more lighthearted gaming-related news, Capcom fired off a quick sneer, whilst (indirectly) promoting their their latest Mega Man game:

    (alt text: "As a reminder for those entering the Mega Man: Dual Override Boss Design Art Contest, please remember the rules posted at bit.ly/MMDORobotMaster. Entrants must follow this account, and please leave the AI to the robots: generative AI is prohibited for this contest.")
