  It's not (yet) the expected crash, but it certainly looks more and more like the beginning of the end: > Dear reader, it blew up: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/07/31/business/situational-awareness-explained https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/his-wedding-guests-were-arriving-just-as-his-45-billion-fund-was-falling-apart/ar-AA2997uK https://nypost.com/2026/08/01/business/nostradamus-of-ai-leopold-aschenbrenner-didnt-have-the-crystal-ball-seeing-hedge-fund-portfolio-dip-67/

  I just discovered that the calming method I have been using for years has a name, and it's called "box breathing".

  "As the fight over AI data centers heats up, some polls have shown that AI is less popular with Americans than Immigration and Customs Enforcement." Now THAT takes some hard work!

  Oh. That explains a lot. Let's hope that's its final form. Great Northern Kaiju or something. (Source: https://slrpnk.net/post/40463796 )

  I have come to hate the term 'AI'. I hate it because AI does not exist. Just because you have an automated parrot on your computer does not make that machine 'intelligent'. Even if you have 10000 computers running the same software, those machines are not 'intelligent'. What you have is a poor statistical model. So, stop using 'AI'. This term is pure propaganda, designed to make you despair. Use better terms: 'machine generated', 'statistical non...

  At the end of the day, COVID-19 made people realize: - They could work from home and that most offices are shitty places. - Their job was really shitty. - Governments could finance pretty much anything they wanted. - Global warming could be stopped. - The really important jobs were the ones that are the worst paid (nurses, for instance). - Most governments are run by idiots, who are in the pocket of the wealthiest.

  I think I need to repeat this: - No info in your bio = no follow. - No alt text for images = no boost. Sorry, not sorry. I want people to interact with, and not anonymous chum. And if you can post an image, you can also take two minutes to write a short description in the alt text. This helps a lot of people. Also, please learn what a content warning is and use it. That also helps. A LOT. Do I sound like an idiot? Maybe, but there is a good chance I was on the Fediverse before you.

  The only way to avoid fake LLM CVE, bug reports, etc... is to have formally verified code, that is guaranteed not to have bugs. Something that ada + spark have been doing for years. Just like Trump dumb war on Iran is pushing everyone, everywhere, to use renewables, LLM and fashbros war on the Internet and open source may well push everyone to adopt formal methods and serious engineering for code. At least, one can dream.

  The truth is, git is extremely simple to use, as long as you don't do anything with it.

  Regular reminder that "embrace, extend, extinguish" was invented by Microsoft. Now, Microsoft says it is "embracing" Linux and open source in general. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

  Excellent remote work analysis by Ed Zitron: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/07/work-from-home-benefits/619597/ "Why Managers Fear a Remote-Work Future" Money quote: "When you remove the physical office space—the place where people are yelled at in private offices or singled out in meetings—it becomes a lot harder to spook people as a type of management. In fact, your position at a company becomes more difficult to justify if all you do is delegate a...

  🇺🇸🇬🇧 Very interesting scam received today: "we have a package delivery for you, but it won't fit into your mailbox, please click on this link to let us know what's the best solution for you". With a picture of a largish package, held by a hand in front of an open truck, with my name on it in bold letters. I believe the scammer used AI to generate that image. What made me suspect something was wrong was the lack of address under it.
