I was peacefully writing my paper in Overleaf when suddenly it started "suggesting" that I replace my writing with LLM generated text. I try not to be the purity police to others, but I absolutely do not want any whiff of LLM in my work. Can we make it illegal to opt people in this shit by default?

We’ve had three years of github copilot and two of chatgpt, both promising magical productivity gains for software dev, and the only change noticed by regular users is that everything keeps getting shittier, but now with more useless chatbots

There is an article going around that ESP32 chips have a backdoor. It's an undocumented software API. If you are writing code for the ESP32, you can run more commands. It doesn't allow anyone from the outside to just access what's going on in the chip. The use of the word "backdoor" was clickbait 🫤

it is cool that when you search something on google now it just gives you back a bunch of random sentences it has put in bold, in the past you would have to give a chimp a highlighter pen and some textbooks to get that.

I'm sorry for raining on this parade, but the "transgender mice" talking point is bullshit, but not because someone mistook "transgenic" for "transgender."
The blog post that kicked it off (from a partisan bullshit website) listed a number of papers testing the effects of sex hormones on animals.

It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.
Sen. DURBIN: Fentanyl often gets to our kids and young people through the internet.
Section 230 absolves social media companies from any responsibility. “That has got to end.”

Is it a *coincidence* that there is a full-on multipronged effort by so many to convince us all that AGI is absolutely imminent at the same time as GPT “4.5” (which was supposed to be 5), Grok 3, and Claude 3.7 all fell short of everybody’s insane expectations?

Instead of using ChatGPT, why not just get a family member to lie to you while they set fire to a tree?

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

This is such a great point because here we have the world’s richest man and the president of the United States and they’re both idiots, and there’s a cognitive dissonance where one can argue “they can’t be idiots, look what they’ve accomplished.” But yet still they are idiots
They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.

I hate the casual policy assumption that old people will learn to use IT/apps to do everything services-related - & if they don’t 🤷♂️ ah well, they’ll die soon & the rest of us have no problem.
Also at this rate of enshittification, by the time I’m proper old, IT will be *impossible* to use.

It’s amazing that one person can run six companies, manage the entire federal bureaucracy, and be model parent to 13 children.

Ha, Scott Hanselman, a man that completely disappeared from my Twitter feed. Did you stop posting there or is the algorithm really that strict I have to interact with each of your posts to keep you in my feed?

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?
Hearing that DOGE went into the Dept of Education today and shut down almost the entirety of the department's in-house research arm, Institute of Educational Sciences, cancelling contracts totally about $900m.

With techbros fully installed in the current administration, it’s fitting that their strategy to take down government agencies is basically an Executive Order DDOS.
The orders are illegal, but what really matters is that the system is too busy defending against attacks to respond effectively.

Random computers being plugged into federal networks is obviously terrifying in terms of what data they're deliberately accessing, but it's also terrifying because it implies controls are being disabled - unmanaged systems should never have access to this data. Who else has access to those systems?
