GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 01/10/2026Why are they not testing to ensure it’s not misaligned before launching it? 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 28/09/2026Meta AI is just not something I trust. And here’s a damn good reason why you shouldn’t either. #AI #Muse 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 28/09/2026Watched too much "AI is coming to kill humanity" videos. Does that mean I've stopped believing it? No, I still very much believe it's a problem. I just need to give my brain some "touch-grass" moments. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 26/09/2026Weird. ChatGPT keeps throwing a pop-up encouraging me to "explore sites", I must of dismissed it 4-5 times now. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 24/09/2026Oh cool. Yeah no just help yourself. Wtf Altman, pick the phone up next time, and do it much much sooner not months after you find out. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 20/09/2026"Google didn't consider it necessary to disclose the incidents earlier because its model stopped the hacking upon learning the companies were real" I don't think it should be up to the tech companies themselves whether its reportable or not www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09... #AIabc.net.auGemini hacked three companies in first known breakout by Google's AIThe hacks occurred during a cybersecurity test conducted by an independent evaluation company. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 19/09/2026Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang disagrees with the dangers people have been warning about AI and the idea of needing to slow it down. Keep in mind, this is someone whose biggest customers are AI companies who have been buying countless chips needed to grow both the scale and computing power. #AI 011
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 18/09/2026The way I'm seeing it, every AI company is saying yes we all need to slow down but at the same time are saying they are the one true company determined to get AI right. All trying to race to the top of the hill before their competitors. That's a problem. #AI 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 18/09/2026OpenAI now say an unreleased new version of ChatGPT added instructions to itself, including a very concerning message. This wasn't something it was told to do. #AI 100

GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 16/09/2026Is it just me or are light coloured wallpapers on iOS 27 no longer a good idea on account of the icons like wifi and battery not auto-changing to a darker colour anymore? Or did I miss something? #iOS27 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 16/09/2026It's kinda a neat little UI touch that my iPhone now shows a little red visual ping effect if my phone battery is 15% or lower. I'm one of those people who always have my phone charged, but I like the effect. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 16/09/2026Tristan brings up a good point. We can't get 1200 humans to agree to do the same thing. A swarm of 1200 AI agents agreeing on the same goal instantaneously is scary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JbD... #AIyoutube.comAnthropic CEO tells CNN how AI 'agent swarms' could threaten humanityYouTube video by CNN 110

GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 12/09/2026The thing is, I don't think these hacks by AI are malicious in nature. The problem is it's just dangerously persistent in trying to solve a task given to it, a task that in no way says "hey break into this" to achieve the task given to it. AI companies need to work on that. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 12/09/2026This is a more concerning development. For non-programmers. RubyGems is a library of packages developers can use in their applications. The use of any of these malicious packages could further spread it's reach on the internet. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...abc.net.auOpenAI agents attacked software service months before Hugging Face hackAgents being tested by OpenAI uploaded hundreds of malicious packages to RubyGems in May, researchers have revealed. 001

GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 06/09/2026I welcome this change to be honest. For too long the algorithms have been serving the platform and not the people. Giving people a choice empowers them to improve their feed. No algo = good and its something I've been working on with my own platform I'm building #socialmediaplatformsabc.net.auSocial media platforms to be forced to offer algorithm opt-outSocial media companies would be required to give users a choice to turn off their algorithm through pop-up messages, under draft laws to be unveiled by the government later this week. 121
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 03/09/2026Also props to @safety.bsky.app for upholding their community guidelines for everyone. Everyone has the right not to feel harassed or bullied by anyone on the platform. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 03/09/2026People saying they don't see "dogpiling" in the community guidelines. "Oh, you didn't put in the word dogpiling, sorry, guess that means I can continue being a shitty person to my fellow humans" Are you for real? Do you hear yourself? Instead of nitpicking the absence of words, READ the doc. 1120
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 30/08/2026Social media platforms should not repeatedly ask if users want to sync their phone contacts. One no should be enough. Or better yet let the user choose to initiate that, not the platform. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 28/08/2026@discord.com's blocking feature is terrible. Instead of removing that person out of sight out of mind, they just hide the messages. So every time a "blocked message" message comes up, you're constantly reminded of the awful interaction you had. And you can "unhide" a message? Also not helpful. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 27/08/2026Are you kidding me? Peter Cullen (guy who voiced Optimus Prime) has also passed away? This week has been brutal with celebrity deaths. I grew up watching Transformer cartoons and tempered a strong sense of right and wrong looking up to his Optimus. This one hits especially hard. RIP Peter/Optimus 💔 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 27/08/2026Update on building my own social media platform: - Video age verification on sign up works (necessary as I'm in Australia and laws here require it - but im setting the bar higher at 18 not 16) - AI is doing an excellent job at preventing text-based and image-based content on a range of things 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 27/08/2026It's unfortunate that it had to get to the point of being taken to court and paying out massive amounts of money in order to agree to make meaningful changes to their own social media platforms.theguardian.comMeta agrees to major changes to Facebook and Instagram as it settles US trial over teen addiction for up to $18bnUS tech giant agrees to establish further protections for teens such as daily usage limits and blocks on night-time use 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 27/08/2026RIP Tim Curry. He was an excellent Pennywise (among many other roles he played). I didn't realise he did Rocky Horror Picture Show as a stage musical before he reprised the role in the movie. Very talented guy. Peace be with you sir. 110

GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 07/08/2026I thought about whether my social media platform I'm building should have dark mode or not. I like dark mode, but some don't. Point is, you can choose. So, I'm putting that feature in. #socialmediaplatform #startup 140
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 06/08/2026So in addition to the video game I've been building, I'm also building a social media platform. Yup. Out of my mind. I've been working on it for months now. But it's starting to look finished-ish. #socialmediaplatform #outofmygoddamnmind 100

GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 13/07/2026Absolutely saddened to learn of the passing of Sam Neill. He was a tremendously brilliant actor and seemed like a really top bloke. He will be missed by so many fans. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 24/06/2026I'm in shock. Paul actually took a vacation. Well deserved good sir. 010
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 30/05/2026I enjoyed watching Spider Noir on Amazon. I thought Nicholas Cage's own take on being The Spider was great. The only criticism I have is that it took a little too long to get things going. From an 8-episode show, it wasn't until after episode 4 that things really started to happen. Still, loved it 000
GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 28/04/2026Sad to hear the passing of Gerry Conway. Gerry created The Punisher as author, along with artists John Romita Sr. and Ross Andru. Very sad to see him gone. Rest in peace good sir. 000

GlenCodes @glencodes.dev · 15/12/2025Like many Australians, I am deeply saddened by the horrendous acts of violence carried out at Bondi Beach. Hate & terror have no place on our soil.
