Last week, U.S. lawmakers introduced the AI Kill Switch Act, which would give the DHS authority to throttle or shut down private AI models, days after #OpenAI models escaped a sandbox during a benchmark run and reached #HuggingFace production infrastructure. news.laplacef.me/digests/2026...

something i've been hacking away at lately it converts GitHub workflows to @tangled.org pipelines and vice versa. it doesn't support a huge amount of things yet but i'm still improving it. it can convert basic JS CI workflows today

Perhaps, for reasons, you would like to make text you write more expensive for any LLM to ingest. May I introduce adversarial tokenmaxxing: alex-parker.github.io/tokenmaxxer/ Increase the tokens needed to represent any text by 3-6 times. It seems that l33t may have been ahead of its time.

my belief is that at the end of the day, great games are made by groups of people who have high trust with each other & can fluidly execute a shared vision. which is a small part of why these layoffs are so devastating- it's not just about jobs, it's about these "trust structures" being torn apart.

So there's been a LOT of chatter about whether AI-generated poetry is distinguishable from human poetry😯😵‍💫🤨🫠 Yes, it definitely is! For CHR 2024, we compared thousands of poems by GPT-4, 3.5, and humans, and we quantified the differences. 2024.computational-humanities-research.org/papers/paper...
Screenshot of abstract for "Does ChatGPT Have a Poetic Style?" paper abstract. 

Generating poetry has become a popular application of LLMs, perhaps especially of OpenAI’s widelyused chatbot ChatGPT. What kind of poet is ChatGPT? Does ChatGPT have its own poetic style? Can it successfully produce poems in different styles? To answer these questions, we prompt the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models to generate English-language poems in 24 different poetic forms and styles, about 40 different subjects, and in response to 3 different writing prompt templates. We then analyze the resulting 5.7k poems, comparing them to a sample of 3.7k poems from the Poetry Foundation and the Academy of American Poets. We find that the GPT models, especially GPT-4, can successfully produce poemsinarangeofbothcommonanduncommonEnglish-languageformsinsuperficialyetnoteworthy ways, suchasbyproducingpoemsofappropriatelengthsforsonnets (14 lines), villanelles (19 lines), and sestinas (39 lines). But the GPT models also exhibit their own distinct stylistic tendencies, both within and outside of these specific forms. Our results show that GPT poetry is much more constrained and uniform than human poetry, showing a strong penchant for rhyme, quatrains (4-line stanzas), iambic meter, first-person plural perspectives (we, us, our), and specific vocabulary like “heart,” “embrace,” “echo,” and “whisper.”

A tribute to cURL–the backbone of the Internet Why is cURL worth learning? With an estimated 20 billion installations worldwide, cURL is a universal tool. Mastering it can improve your ability to interact with web services and automate various online tasks. The cURL handbook → everything.curl.dev
# Supports most protocols, including HTTPS, SFTP, MQTT, SCP, and WSS.

# Get the HTTP headers only
curl -I http://example.com

# Download the contents of a URL to a file:
curl http://example.com --output path/to/file

# Send form-encoded data (POST request of type `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`). Use `--data @file_name` or `--data @'-'` to read from STDIN:
curl --data 'name=bob' http://example.com/form

# Send a request with an extra header, using a custom HTTP method:
curl --header 'X-My-Header: 123' --request PUT http://example.com

# Send data in JSON format, specifying the appropriate content-type header:
curl --data '{"name":"bob"}' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' http://example.com

# Pass a username and password for server authentication:
curl --user username:password http://example.com

# Retry a request with a retry delay
curl --retry 20 --retry-delay 15 --no-buffer --head https://example.com

# Open a WSS connection
curl --include --no-buffer --header "Connection: Upgrade" --header "Upgrade: websocket" --header "Host: example.com" --header "Origin: http://example.com" "wss://example.com/socket"

# Download a file from SFTP
curl -u username:password -O sftp://example.com/path/to/file
