Ignoring advice to secure and monitor your sandboxes during testing then blaming it on your AI being so smart that it’s a threat to humanity is nasty work

I have a list of around 80 shows to watch and instead of going through it, here I am on my 20th Solo Leveling watch 🙄 I don’t know why it’s so hard to watch new content for me, always go back to something I know it’s “safe” to watch

language model programs have no conscious intent or ethical understanding and they never will. you can program them to say they do, but they fundamentally cannot

AI companies: We’ve invented an unreliable guessing machine which sometimes doesn’t follow instructions. If you give it access to important systems it could kill us all. Also AI companies: Deploy this technology everywhere and replace your employees with it, otherwise China wins. IPO next month.

these are not “autonomous” attacks: they are failures by humans to implement appropriate controls for the computers acting on their behalf, and we must not forget it.

My entire life I've heard centrists scolding leftist candidates with "oh, but how will we pay for all that? isn't your agenda unreasonable? shouldn't we run on a modest proposal for means-tested tax rebates?" Then Mamdani gets elected and makes it all look pretty easy. No wonder they hate him.

1) Why are you still pretending this thing is a person what is wrong with you are you damaged 2) When a program clearly malfunctions to the point even Piers Morgan is scoring points on it live on television, it says a lot when the people behind the program can't or won't acknowledge it fucked up.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Going from claiming your company is working on technology that might destroy humanity to leaking you’re on track to generate $100 billion in sales this year, just in time for the IPO. Makes it hard to defend the claims that this hasn’t all been a cynical form of marketing and regulatory capture.

Before you say positive things about DHH because of Omarchy, a reminder that it's been like 3 weeks since he published a blog that compares Roma people to the wolves Denmark eradicated in the 1800s. He's an open, virulent racist and always has been. Everything he touches should be radioactive.

Strong words mean nothing without strong action. We have been calling for sanctions and suspension of trade for years now. Nothing Canada has said will change Netanyahu’s behaviour. Only collective action by states who are finished enabling genocide.

Jerry Falade and Jason Arday are two sides of the same coin: a Black person can’t be this smart, so it must be plagiarism/AI/pick-your-poison. AI will make this worse. Every Black intellectual achievement can be dismissed as Claude/ChatGPT with no evidence while the accused suffers the damage.

I just learned that Google Play needs the 14 days of beta testing with at least 12 users for EVERY SINGLE app and not just my first app :( It used to be Apple was the pain in the ass to deploy to, and now all my apps live in the App Store and can't even make it into Google Play hehehe

After 18 months of saying goodbye to my newsletter subscribers, I sent an email today talking about what I've been doing and the plans I have for my writing Extremely surprised that Sunday evening launch has had close to 36% open rate in 4h And that people are replying and sharing stuff with me :)

Also, for a “rushing to save the world game” it’s amazing how much side quest content it has. I haven’t touched the main quest in 2 days, and I’m just clearing rebel camps, finding mounts, and upgrading equipment.

Jorge Vergara @jorgevergara.co · 16/08/2026
By the way, looks cool and it’s my default mount, but what a let down in terms of speed. Bristlebacks are faster ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You trade speed for attack power which is cool if you fight while mounted, but I spec Aloy as infiltrator and like exploring so…

I never paid attention to cauldrons on my first few runs of Horizon, glad I did this time, I had no idea you could unlock this Clawstrider mount 🦖
