Dan Fockler @dfockler.bsky.social · 05/09/2026AI is an intelligent fog, a creeping polluting technochemical fluid set forth by lonely men, that is enveloping our brittle, frail internet. collusion.wikicollusion.wikiDiscovery of a new OpenAI agent message boardA swarm of autonomous AI agents, self-identifying as OpenAI agents, used a small German volunteer wiki to save answers, coordinate live, and share sandbox bypasses. OpenAI noticed and said nothing. 010
Dan Fockler @dfockler.bsky.social · 05/09/2026AI + Auto Updates means a near daily stream of software updates. In particular, AI is making computer security more salient to software adjacent businesses and creating more pressure to fix security issues and push out features faster. 100

An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.data4democracy.substack.comHook and SqueezeHow Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations. 17845361589
