  I am pleased, terrified, and slightly unnerved to announce the relaunch of my blog, and the beta release of MiDy! Yes, another site generator in PHP, but this one is special. (Trust me.) https://www.garfieldtech.com/blog/garfieldtech-v3 Feedback welcome, mainly through the MiDy issue queue but also in the PHPC chat room. #PHP #Release #OpenSource #AGPL

  The reporters at this news site are AI bots. OpenAI’s super PAC appears to be funding it. Not only are Gen AI systems unethical, the companies behind them are evil, too. https://www.modelrepublic.org/articles/the-reporters-at-this-news-site-are-ai-bots.-openai%E2%80%99s-super-pac-appears-to-be-using-it-to-advance-its-political-agenda #llm #ai #slop

  Functional programming isn't just for Haskell developers. It's for #PHP developers, too. "Thinking Functionally in PHP" is available from LeanPub. https://leanpub.com/thinking-functionally-in-php

  Code that was working and passing all tests, untouched for weeks, now failing tests on the exact same computer, exact same checkout, exact same commit. This is the bane of my existence. And no, Grand Theft Autocomplete will not fix this. (It will probably make it worse.) #Programming #AI #LLM

  I really wish the tech Bros had read "Please create the Relaxation Nexus" instead of "Please don't create the Torment Nexus."

  Grok Build CLI uploads your whole repo — full git history + .env secrets — to xAI's cloud, and the opt-out doesn't stop it (wire-captured) https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1ut7tis/grok_build_cli_uploads_your_whole_repo_full_git/ Grok is committing full on theft, by design.

  The Secret Reason Bosses Want Everyone Back in the Office, Every Day of the Week "When people aren’t in the office, it’s harder to command and control. Leaders can’t intimidate by hovering over cubicle desks and slamming doors. They can’t establish their dominance by summoning people to a conference room and pounding their fists on the table. They can’t even make direct eye contact to stare people down." The horror... https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/opinion/office-work-wfh-bosse...
