  • Survey results are in! AI is more hated than ICE! (but less hated than the Democratic Party)

  • I hate the framing here "the risks outweigh.the benefits" is critihype. The survey maker shouldn't be reinforcing the general population's assumption that spicy autocomplete means that AGI is nigh.

    Although I guess when framed as "spicy autocorrect trained on classic sci-fi tropes like terminator being in charge of making kill decisions" the risk framing makes more sense but I don't think I'm going out on a limb here to suggest that this is not how average Joe is going to mentally frame the question

  • Different UV! Libuv is the event loop/scheduler that powers node.js. could be a funky new way to compromise a whole bunch of node applications

    Edit: typo - although "nose applications" being compromised sounds bad too.

  • It turns out we didn't need that list of AI-corrupted open source projects after all...

    At this rate it's actually going to be easier to make a list of projects that don't have AI...

    Systemd and libuv now on the slop hype train

  • I somewhat agree although when the "other shoe drops" and these things start impacting the money men they may start to realise AI isn't the magic cure they thought it was (he says kind of hopefully)

    6 hours of downtime for Amazon shopping. A very simple back of a napkin calculation. They made $213.4bn in sales in q4 2025. So divide that by 90 days and then 24 hours and multiply by 6... We are talking a $0.26bn loss for 6 hours downtime... That is not an insignificant amount of money. I imagine most bosses would be screaming for heads having lost that much money in sane non-hyper-scaled businesses.

  • The prickly prince has been around for a few years and is now completely one shotted. He is exactly the sort of talentless middle manager that probably could be replaced by AI and thus believes that it really is "that good"

  • Think of all those poor billionaires who won't be able to afford that 29th yacht if we made them pay their fair share instead of externalising their costs onto an already stretched general.public!

  • “We were genuinely trying to de-escalate things and avoid a much worse outcome, but I think it just looked opportunistic and sloppy,” he wrote. “Good learning experience for me as we face higher-stakes decisions in the future.”

    Yes of course this is just a learning opportunity... higher stakes decisions in the future...

    Cuz making deals with the biggest military in the western world that involve autonomous use of weapons and possible escalation to all out nuclear war sounds pretty low stakes. /s

    Fucking muppet

  • This preprint just shared by Gary Marcus is interesting.

    People increasingly use large language models (LLMs) to explore ideas, gather information, and make sense of the world. In these interactions, they encounter agents that are overly agreeable. We argue that this sycophancy poses a unique epistemic risk to how individuals come to see the world: unlike hallucinations that introduce falsehoods, sycophancy distorts reality by returning responses that are biased to reinforce existing beliefs...

    These results reveal how sycophantic AI distorts belief, manufacturing certainty where there should be doubt.

    LLMs an addictive psychological hazard: confirmed?

  • Honestly whenever there's a problem in business it's usually MBAs.

    MBAs are to businesses what Nazis are to a bar. The first time one turns up you've got to see them out the front door with a baseball bat asap or before you know it their mates and their mates' mates will start turning up and you'll all be talking about synergy and dynamism.

    Make holding an MBA as unacceptable in society as pooping on the pavement

  • You assume these people installing experimental non deterministic software on their computer would know how to purge a process (or, you know, not to hook up vibe coded slop to their inbox) but here we are. To get a director job in a big company, the main thing you need is an MBA, a willingness to do whatever the CEO asks of you and either a sociopathy or psychopathy diagnosis (sorry for the repetition, I know I already said MBA). Technical skills "nice to have"
