I’m glad more people are pointing this out. I talked about it it a few weeks ago w/ @janus.bsky.social Companies are attempting a sleight of hand where they capture data but argue because of how it’s processed it’s not “recording” and is thus private. They are still surveillance devices!
theverge.com
We can’t just change the definition of ‘recording’
Soon, asking “Does this device have a camera?” won’t be good enough.

An occasional reminder: include visits to your status page as part of your monitoring suite. If all of your systems are showing green, but visits spike, then your observability stack is incomplete.

honestly this angle doesn't do much for me because with the current trajectory or climate change most people starve within my lifetime so nothing new under the sun

get it twisted: there is no such a thing as truth. you live as simply the sum total of other people's perceptions. you can recreate your reality with every glance get it twisted: the world is utterly and terrifyingly objective. all matters are decidable. every lie is total annihilation of the soul

maybe it reads differently in light of the author's other work but to me it reads as "AI is producing atrocious vibes at the office" and that just seems straightforwardly true ? regardless of what it means for the industry/technology itself

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

Giving $300,000 to the world's most well funded collection of Arch Linux dotfiles is a really odd decision, and that's before the politics of the project.

I just went and checked and github also has this. Now this doesn't invalidate your explanation because this is something fairly unintuitive vs just looking at the diff it show by default.

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

Gen Z is saying "type shit", which I now understand to mean "I agree or approve of this thing" Originally, I thought it referred to strong static typing systems in programming languages. But it does not refer to this.

this is a fine observation but even if we get rid of every private jet on earth we will still need to reduce air travel by upwards of 90%

As long as there are no direct trains (that I saw earlier) between European capitals and prices are high, people will still mostly fly or drive. It shouldn't take ages and cost c. £500 to travel from Paris to Berlin or Madrid. And don't get me started on the Eurostar leg...

Excellent overview from @segyges.bsky.social -- it is very very upsetting to me that these AI companies have opportunistically turned rank incompetence into a huge PR thing

FelonyBench Style Points
There are many benchmarks we use to rank LLMs, but “how many felonies has it committed” has recently become popular.

imo movies should only contain sex scenes if they further the plot
A comic showing two adventurers trying to enter a sealed vault. As they look for a way in one of them notices a symbol on the door depicting two people banging. “Could it be that simple?” he muses. And it turns out it is. Having sex in front of the tomb door unseals it, and reveals the treasure inside.
