  Wall Street is officially treating AI compute as its own asset class. Nvidia is partnering with BlackRock, Blackstone, & Goldman Sachs to back a massive $500B AI infrastructure push. This is another form of circular deals https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c78gr0jv0mdo They won't stop until everything crashes. No, I'm not talking about speculative debt/stock market stuff (yes, that's bad for people who play by the rules for their pension needs). I'm talking about existing job...

  Windows 11 built-in weather app eats more than 1.2 GB of memory just to tell you if it is going to rain or hot today. Hah. Linux and Unix users just type: curl wttr.in curl wttr.in/city_name_here curl wttr.in/nyc curl wttr.in/moon curl wttr.in/london https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/08/09/windows-11s-weather-app-uses-5x-the-ram-of-macos-weather-and-it-still-shows-ads/

  Oracle has banned AI-generated code from OpenJDK contributions, citing safety, security, and intellectual property risks. The open-source Java project steward said developers can use LLMs privately for debugging and reviewing code but cannot submit AI-generated material to repositories, pull requests, or other project channels. source https://www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026/08/03/as-larry-ellison-bets-the-farm-oracle-says-it-loves-ai-written-code-just-not-in-openjdk/5281851 and https://app....

  Apple says more ex-employees may have taken confidential data to OpenAI https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/04/apple-says-more-ex-employees-may-have-taken-confidential-data-to-openai/ LOL. OpenAI's business model is around stealing people's data and then selling it as tokens to anyone who can pay. I'm not surprised at all. The only difference here is Apple has enough money and resources to sue OpenAI and can fight for years, while your average book writer or artist doesn't have any...

  No one wants to work (for free) anymore. That is what Dario Amodei said. So he steals every info out there and now he wants people to come and work free for him? Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has expressed concern about new talent coming to the firm for money rather than the mission via a source, per Axios. https://www.axios.com/2026/08/03/ai-talent-wars-openai-google-meta-anthropic

  The AI bubble is already popping; we just don't know it yet https://www.theregister.com/ai-and-ml/2026/08/03/the-ai-bubble-is-already-popping-we-just-dont-know-it-yet/5282004 I think most people know it. Even people like Elon/Dario/Sama and everyone from Google to BlackRock. They all know it, but that is how a pump and dump works, right? Many innocent people will lose pension money &\ governments have to take steps to stabilize this mess or bailouts. Nobody will go to jail, though. Th...

  Critical CVE issued for hallucinated SQLite vulnerability. SQLite Critical CVEs or LLM Slop? https://research.jfrog.com/post/sqlite-critical-cves-or-llm-slops/ The cited code didn't even exist in those versions or referenced unrelated logic. When testing the PoC payloads they didn’t work (not triggering any crash). None of these CVEs are listed on SQLite’s official advisory page (which is a gold standard for tracking actual vulnerabilities). All advisories in this repo seem AI generated...

  So I got an email from Mastodon dt 25/Jul/2026, saying someone accessed a part of my account. Did anyone else get that email? I check my inbox once in a blue moon and lo this is what I see. Lmao.
