Commentary: Cory Doctorow: Reverse Centaurs Science fiction’s superpower isn’t thinking up new technologies – it’s thinking up new social arrangements for technology. What the gadget does is nowhere near as important as who the gadget does i…

Cory Doctrow frames it as centaur (AI is assisting you to do more) vs reverse centaur (you are in service of the AI, reviewing and taking responsibility for its output) locusmag.com/feature/comm...

Disable AI features setting does not work · Issue #2547 · VSCodium/vscodium Describe the bug The disable AI features setting used to turn off the "generate commit message" button in the source control tab, but it no longer does. Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium...

You could try VSCodium. You might occasionally get some non-working AI UI cruft as MS adds more crap, but they seem diligent about whacking those moles: github.com/VSCodium/vsc....

Seems like he’s got his pal Putin to feed him those other plans (that are achieving the opposite of the stated goals, predictably and treasonously if true)

Yes, and let’s not forget that Trump is illegally confiscating Venezuelan oil and depositing the money in a Qatari account (or maybe a Treasury account now), and that he lifted sanctions on Russian oil. The two biggest beneficiaries in all this are his two favorite people—Donald and Putin.

After Unusual Machines Names Donald Trump Jr. To New Advisory Board, Defense Contracts Follow Donald Trump Jr. once mocked Hunter Biden's "no-show no-experience board seats." Now he's on his second newly activated advisory board—and that company just announced $15 million in contracts.

It’s probably just a coincidence that the Trump boys are making millions off their involvement in drone companies, right? www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

Maybe that’s how they’re spelled by Russian native speakers?

Imagine plotting Olympic medal counts by country over time. Is it easier to “tell ggplot” “this column is the count for Country A, this one is for Country B, this one is for C …” or “this column has all the country names and that column has all their medal counts”?

Black and white photo of outdoor patio furniture. The table bears a slab of more than a foot of snow. Even more is piled in the chairs. Barren trees observe silently, in the background.

An intermediate stage will probably involve an AI video of him doing something like dropping $#!+ on the folks of Greenland from a fighter jet

Grid of 9 images of Indiana University head football coach Curt Cignetti. The first eight have a caption of happy, sad excited, angry, winning, losing, sleepy, and proud. The image is actually the same for each, and Coach has his trademark “Resting Cignetti Face” (i.e. a slight scowl). In the last image, with the label “cracking a cold beer” (his trademark phrase for how he’ll celebrate a monumental victory), he’s grinning ear to ear.

A golden flag with a banner at the top with the title “Trumpistan”. The middle features arms hugging a pile of money, with the obscured individual wearing a crown. Something like an American flag is draped at the top left and right.

Screenshot from the NBA app touting the matchup between the Pacers and Pistons. They have a headshot for the best player from each team. Jay Huff is representing the Pacers, while Cade Cunningham is the champion for the Pistons.

I’m a big Jay Huff fan, but you know the #Pacers are having a bad season when he’s our marquee player for a matchup!

He ends most of his “Truth” Social posts with “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

I think every article describing his latest terrible deed should end with something like “The ‘grab ‘em by the p***y’ president strikes again!”

It’s equally funny/depressing when company leaders say “we’re going to leverage AI to gain an advantage over our competitors”. Sure, venture capitalists have pumped >$1T into a free of charge Magic Autocomplete Wand, and only you know the Special Spells of Awesomeness.

Don’t forget the Trump “gold card” and the national park passes (and waived entrance fees on Dear Leader’s birthday)

Let’s just be thankful it’s something relatively benign like “Rush Hour 4”, and not horrific like “Home Alone 8: Mar A Largo Masseuse”

Boxes of documents (many probably containing classified information) haphazardly stacked in a marble plated bathroom at Mar-a-Lago

I’ll bet there is a golden marble bathroom at Mar-a-Lago stuffed full of currency from tariff collections. You know, the place where he keeps all things related to national security disasters he illegally causes.
