Breaking news: LSP and CI has the same flaw so every IDE and pipeline is compromised I guess

Anyway, this is why MCP was never designed to be a remote protocol and never should’ve been. It’s also why LLMs modifying their configuration should’ve never been a thing either

Otherwise uh water is wet 🤷‍♀️

Exclusive: Meta to start capturing employee mouse movements, keystrokes for AI training data Meta is installing new tracking software on U.S.-based employees’ computers to capture ​mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes for use in training its ‌artificial-intelligence models, part of a broad ...

Meta will begin keystroke logging US employees at work -- complete with mouse movements and periodic screenshots -- to train better AI agents.

This comes after Boz posted about a future in which AI will "primarily do the work" at meta.

It's a new era for tech labor. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Yeah well, but in Star Trek events like the Battle of Wolf 359 also had world-changing consequences.

In Marvel universe normal life literally goed on unchanged even while superheroes supposedly upend the status quo. It feels witjout consequence.

Just let this bloody franchise rest in the grave and do something frickin new. I‘m so over this.

-he accounces he'll ensure his troops in the trenches get extra easier sick and become non-combat casualties or outright die.

It's just... utterly stupidly ridiculous.

I *love* how this guy keeps threatening to invade Greenland and otherwise box up to the EU while he shoots empty his arsenals over pointless crap in Iran, dismantles all the scary women and trans people in logistics (which would ensure he has shit to fire at his enemies) and now-

Alexander Kustov @akoustov Matt nails it: "the point of journalism [or science!] is the outputs—bringing facts to light—not the process." Most slop is still human slop. AI just made it impossible to ignore. So, the Q isn't whether to use AI, but how to use the best tools available to reduce human slop. Quote Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias · 20h The case for more AI in journalism

"the point of journalism (or science) is the output, bringing facts to light, not the process"

is definitely something to say.

Jesus, anyone who has taught writing or been a writer for any length of time knows that writing is exploration, not transcription. And I was a TECHNICAL writer. You just puke out what someone told you and you'll end up failing to notice, for example, that the task can't be done at all!

the art of war: “you - yes, you, dipshit - need to feed your men and make sure they don’t get sick. no you are not exempt on the basis of being a very special boy. oh my god, why am I surrounded by idiots.”

A flower-shaped pictogram chart compares the mix of pollinator groups visiting eight common plants, alongside how frequently each plant is visited overall. Lavender is the busiest plant, with knapweeds and ragwort also attracting high traffic, while buttercup and hogweed receive the fewest visits. Bees make up a large share of visitors for lavender and buddleja. Ragwort, thistle and hogweed show a more varied mix, with hoverflies and other flies playing a bigger role

Catching up #dataviz for #30dayChartChallenge Day5 Experimental. Which flower attracts which pollinator? 🌸🐝🦋

Played around with data from the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme. For bees or any pollinator plant some lavender, for butterflies go with buddleja aka butterfly bush.

Academics: If I research and publish for years I might end up with 1 or 2 articles that are so ground breaking that they make it into top journals in my field.

University managers: Great. So just publish those then. But also, more often.

Science-folks: If we run 100 experiments, we might find 1 or 2 of them may have results that can make many dollars.

NZ Govt: Excellent. We will fund those 1 or 2 experiments.

Based on Richard Lynn’s dodgy data, of course. This was the purpose of its creation, to masquerade racism as ‘science’ & thereby infiltrate mainstream politics. This is one reason why Co-authors & I have called for retractions of scientific articles that use this data - it’s effectively propaganda.

This is what's so frustrating to me. It's one thing to make the compromise be/c this is where industry is, and be/c LLMs work better for software. It's another to act like the consent violations, the ethical morasses, and the gaslighting didn't happen.

People are reasonably angry.

…ah yes, stochastic drug use. That‘s clearly responsible.

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK

'Bell removed Romeo and Juliet from his syllabus because “in Act III, Romeo and Juliet have sex, and that falls under this very broadly defined sexuality [topics ban].” He also didn’t teach about Joan of Arc this semester.'

What an actual lack of freedom of speech looks like in universities. 3/3

Jacob 'Bell, who teaches medieval history, is headed to the City University of New York, where he will “be teaching the exact same thing, but unredacted.” In order to keep his spring classes from getting held up in an opaque, monthslong course-review process' 2/3

Faculty Defect From Texas Publics, Citing Censorship Fed up with the state’s censoring of Plato, Joan of Arc and Romeo and Juliet, humanities professors are leaving Texas public institutions in pursuit of academic freedom.

'Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is leaving the university after administrators told him in January that he couldn’t teach Plato’s Symposium in his philosophy class; they said the ancient Greek philosopher’s work violated the system’s restrictions on gender and sexuality content.' 1/3

And at the same time we have enough surface area that your posts quickly end up somewhere where it does hurt someone or suggests pain. And then they lash out.

We‘re existing in a society of more and more overt pain. That‘s generally not healthy. Social media is one crash point of this.

I still see it happening at times, honestly.

I would also raise the possibility though: especially engineering work is for more and more people associated with pain on them. In particular see the LLM hype wave and its cultural responses. The spaces were people don‘t end up hurt are shrinking.

A lot of our big “we’re gonna hold big tech accountable” bills actually hand them + the government unprecedented power to track, censor, and deplatform internet users—and would require us to link our identities to everything we do online, meaning no more privacy. Greatly reducing opposition to them

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

Oh crap.

Wishing you a swift recovery!

It's also worth being clear about who's doing the arguing. Palantir sells operational software to defence, intelligence, immigration & police agencies. These 22 points aren't philosophy floating in space, they're the public ideology of a company whose revenue depends on the politics it's advocating.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

Point 21 is the giveaway, some cultures produce "wonders," others are "regressive and harmful." Once you accept that hierarchy, you've quietly been given permission to apply different standards of verification to different actors. The form of verification stays, but the democratic function doesn't.

Healthy accountability is triggered by evidence, points upward at power, and happens in public. Disordered accountability protects insiders and aims its punishment outward. What the document does is argue for the second while calling it the first.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Genuinely, I would like to use the phone for calls. I think. I find calling people trips up some soxial anxiety in me.

But also I basically had to lock down my phone number BECAUSE FUCKING SCAM CALLS so that app‘s useless (besides occasionally generating missed call notifications)
