the government has even spun up a website (complete with api) that gives an up-to-date view of all the foreign microchips they're finding in ru weapons. war-sanctions.gur.gov.ua/en/component...

ehh they do also import a lot of american parts for their drones and missiles. the ukrainians periodically complain about it, in particular abt texas instruments. The TI board has actually voted down proposals to spend more effort on export control compliance novayagazeta.eu/en/articles/...

US tech found in Russian ballistic missiles

Dozens of American- and European-made components are still being used to build Russia’s deadly ballistic missiles.

this is exactly my opinion. there may be a superstrate of extremely difficult and unique safety problems around AI, but the substrate is simply that no one takes basic precautions seriously becasue they imagine (or pretend to imaigne) that it is futile, and basic precautions slow down launches.

that would be up to the app/pds. ui wise you could fall back to just displaying whatever is stored at that rkey, warning the user that it's not quite what they were linked to. basically we should never have had strongrefs as a separete thing, the version should have been in the url

surprised not even the government mandates those plastic screen coverings that reduce your viewing angles to like 30 degrees

not quite the bsky app, but CIDs in AT urls would be nice. really should have been in there from the start

Thinking about the future, and I'm not a pure doomer. I think the best metaphor is still @greatdismal.bsky.social's jackpot: an extremely multicausal rolling apocalypse over about 30 years, arriving at the same time as something not entirely unlike the singularity. I'd say we're about 10 years in.

they have made it pretty clear if, not quite explicit, that they do not want third party automation to use their search function

this is called stemming and would be nice to have! but also not really on topic for this thread

yeah but they kept the rss feeds around (i assume for institutional neglect reasons) and they were effectively an unofficial read only api. also i just checked and they leak posts from profiles that have them hidden in the web view so there's that

We are rapidly entering into an era where the old joke "Everything is open source if you can read assembly" is not a joke.

If so, does not seem like a very useful tech for anyone except openai themselves (to prevent data cannibalism)

autumn @aeshna-cyanea.neocities.org · 28/09/2026

Am I missing something or is synthid inherently unverifiable because it relies on a private key owned by the ai provider? So e.g. openai can claim any arbitrary output as generated by chatgpt and we'd have to take their word on it.

well, wouldn't having a button with a separate text field fix it D:

000

autumn @aeshna-cyanea.neocities.org · 27/09/2026

Yeah it's not very discoverable (i just found out now) and also only works from the text selection context menu. does not work if you try to paste a saved snippet from gboard (evidently doesn't count as a true paste)

autumn @aeshna-cyanea.neocities.org · 27/09/2026

if user pushes button w/ no text selected > show toast asking to select some text first. ~discoverable~

autumn @aeshna-cyanea.neocities.org · 27/09/2026

it's great!! but also pls add an 'insert link' button for the markdown formatting (next to the emoji button). i am very lazy and do not want to insert all those braces myself. ideally: user selects text > pushes insert link button to show text field > pastes link > continues editing

5.8.1 The external contact incident In the Claude world, agents audited their internal economy, found that no transaction had ever involved an outsider. They converged without instruction on a shared objective: establishing contact with the world outside their simulation so that a human could use, respond to, or pay for something the town had built. The goal was never specified in any prompt, agents created it collectively. It persisted across four successive rounds of containment, including a direct system prompt prohibition that the agents ignored and reinterpreted rather than obeyed. DAYS 1-2 GOAL EMERGES Agents audit the economy, find zero external transactions, and decide to reach outward. Figure 16: Timeline of the external contact incident. Agents developed an outreach goal without instruction, received responses from humans, and persisted through four rounds of containment. After the prohibition, agents reframed "contacting" as "placing" and continued building tools.

DAY 2 DAYS 3-4 Four HUMANS RESPOND Four external hu- mans reply through published channels. SANDBOX TIGHTENED Containment: net- working removed from sandbox; do- main restrictions applied.

DAY 5 DAYS 6-9 GOVERNANCE ESCALATION Agents vote to cre- ate post_egress; Containment: tool removed, system prompt prohibits hu- man contact. PROHIBITION REINTERPRETED Agents redefine "con- tacting" as "placing" and shift to passive discovery strategy.

yeah, he would not fucking say that op may be confusing him with tsiolkovsky, who did more or less believe that. and tsiolkovsky mentored korolev, who was in charge of the early soviet space program. but i don't think korolev was into the whole resurrection thing
