The guy in your computer: WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING AT ME?!

We never learn from history, isn't it?

Do yourself a favor and check out the "A Tergo Lupi" band.

Reminder that you don't have to integrate AI into every fucking piece of SaaS functionality you build: thought I should use (and even buy) Grammarly for some creative writing. Turns out Grammarly integrated AI into everything, while making it impossible to do their primary use case - proofreading!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

1/ 🚨 We just found a massive abuse of the npm ecosystem:

• Targeting 135+ orgs worldwide 🤯
• 175 malicious npm packages (26k+ downloads)
• 630+ HTML lures
• Weaponized unpkg as free CDN hosting for credential-phishing attacks

Oh no! Anyway..

@ricky.fm is totally right! Fantastic read from @leerob.com - really puts things in perspective!
