It's a medium resolution icon of me -- the top of my head is visible with my eyes just clearing the bottom of the circular frame I'm in. I've raised one eyebrow. I'm standing in front of a white doorframe with a door, very slightly ajar.

i guess the reason these companies have business plans that are like a madlib of pascal's wager filled out by somebody who can't remember what the different parts of speech are, and all decide at once to do exactly the same our-thing-is-a-hacker no-such-thing-as-bad-publicity routine, is that when you're dogfooding your own prototype huffing-your-own-farts-as-a-service service you don't decide anything, truly no brain cells were harmed in the making of any decision https://futurism.com/future-society/jealous-meta-claims-ai-went-hacking-too

Jealously Watching OpenAI and Anthropic, Meta Suddenly Claims That Its AI Went on a Hacking Spree To

Meta claimed that a recent test of its AI model allowed it to access the internet, an already intimately familiar narrative by this point.

like even if you hand it to people that "if it walks like reasoning it's reasoning" -- which, the devil is in the details of what kind of reasoning we're talking about there, like my desk calculator does reasoned operations after a fashion but i'm not gonna expect it to write a thesis --

It's wild how these are stumped with as if a combination of an obvious bad land use you could easily put literally anywhere and a purported jobs program with very few actual jobs on location is a sort of valuable regional program https://www.canada.ca/en/innovation-science-economic-development/news/2026/05/government-of-canada-and-telus-advance-work-to-build-sovereign-ai-infrastructure.html

LB: i used to work at a place where if you left your desktop unlocked people would change your screensaver to shit like this "as a joke". it was about as toxic on the literal first day and rarely let up. my catchphrase became "we're gonna get sued!" which I would say after somebody said something odious, which was regularly. it died without finding a coherent product idea. i guess don't ever let it be said that at any time it didn't already look like the ship was already sinking

and also, like international relations being what they have become was sort of the proximal straw: if this is the world they actively want, have at it I guess and I'll be where I'm at when you change your mind, but there were many more on the pile already tbh

LB: honestly this is one of those ones that used to hang the emulators and i could go back now knowing much more about their internals to tinker on that somewhat, if it wasn't that I concluded a couple years back that if a trillion dollar company wants to kill the past, who am I as a very very tangentially adjacent person to spend my own forks I have very few of anymore to try to offset that?

but here's the thing about "what do we do to make a new computing industry": there are an embarassment of possible answers that are not just polishing the silverware on the titanic, but polishing it when it's already 12500 feet below the surface

LB: like, totally orthogonally to the question of how the event they are commenting on came about, what a totally unhinged takeaway from a public assassination attempt; like these people saying "well i guess the ballroom is ok then" are clowns through and through and whatever the nature of the forces that compel them to say such things, they continue to push them toward a new undiscovered clownmost

like it is interesting to note the symmetry between the kind of US national security justification the FCC fact sheet provides and precisely what kind of decision has been deemed outside the realm of an agency like the FCC to make https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-420034A1.pdf

but even if we entertain the idea that it is not for a shakedown or other clandestine purpose, it has that ring to it of being a response to some kind of specific threat or incident somebody knew about but where some bright spark who took an intro to IT for future middle managers term course at some point and now figures they're an expert got ahold of it and turned it into a "technology neutral" regulation in such a way that it doesn't address literally any actual problem anymore

@keirFox if there's memory corruption as some people are suggesting, well you can't really reason about what the software should be doing anymore because instructions could be being corrupted, but I would expect more random corruption of the data or at least more random other crashes

@cstross@wandering.shop sure, but doesn't it seem like people are restructuring a lot of existing industries around the idea of replacing staff with a technology that it turns out doesn't actually exist as described in a way that has no parallel in 98/99?
