I just paired my phone app to a web app. The process required a PassKey, a verification code on a web page, and an emoji match to link the apps. I'm so glad we have all these protocols to make login easier. 😶

Wagyu is absurd. People buy 85% lean ground beef. Then they want hella greasy ground beef for more money. Just get the cheap 70% beef.

Not even The Onion could make this up: Before deciding whether to intervene in Venezuela, Trump reportedly spent hours consulting an AI chatbot about how Venezuelans would react to his plan to invade the country and overthrow Maduro.

I was reading about the HuggingFace hack, finally, and thought it was interesting that these bots decided to work together to mess with the test. At some point, some bots decided: we need to communicate and work together.

In a settler-colonial system, like the colonies that would become the US, the colonist is the force creating the relationship between the settlers and the indigenous people. Settlers are generally entering as allies and tools for the colonist, and their alliance is enforced through laws and customs.

Colonization is primarily an economic relationship, and carried out for economic goals. The racist/ethno-supremacist aspects that come along with it are created to justify the colonist's domination, and to enable social control of all the subject groups.

The deskilling of computer programming is so weird. I have no idea why, but it makes me think of the first time I learned that some people use paper plates for their meals, so they can avoid doing dishes. I thought it was funny, sad, wasteful, and genius, at the same time.

I did a series on testing AI/LLMs and programming in Elm, a niche web language. The results were pretty mediocre, but... I did manage to get them to build it. For non-programmers, it's a good reminder that these LLMs hallucinate and fail. riceball.com/2026/09/12/l...
