Exactly one year ago today:

⚠️ An active phishing attack is targeting crate owners by asking them to "confirm that your email address is still active". These messages are not from crates.io, and should be ignored. (We will never ask you to confirm that your e-mail address is still active.) ⚠️

ok GitHub, this is not a bad feature

@benjaminfelix.bsky.social do you have a podcast (or upcoming one) about the index rule changes ahead of the incoming SloPOs (OpenAI, spacex)?

I have never seen a cross-examination go so badly

Something I'm not yet clear on how to handle these days is what to do with obvious LLM PRs on Open Source projects.

When a human submit a PR that needs some work, often enough I'll go through rounds of review to progressively get the PR in a mergeable state.

Just received my author copies of the second edition of DDIA! After years of seeing it only on-screen, holding the final print book in hand is very special. @chris.blue

This guy gets it.

Examples:

1. "Microslop morged the git-flow diagram and now Tim continvoucly manages featue releases."

3. (colloquial) To apply AI assistance in a manner that creates more work than it saves.

2. To automate the extraction of form from substance, producing artifacts that pass superficial review but collapse under actual use.

Morging /ˈmɔːrdʒɪŋ/ verb

1. Using generative AI to produce output that structurally mimics source material while systematically evacuating its meaning, utility, or artistic merit. Distinguished from mere copying by the introduction of confident incorrectness and the loss of internal coherence.

Fake advertisement for Draft Kings in a print copy of The Onion. In the front of a photo of a house with a foreclosure sign, it reads: "Draft Kings Earn a free $10 toward buying back your house."

excellent work by @theonion.com this month

Hugs and love to those struggling this holiday season 🫶🏽🎁

Anybody excited for the next Cloudflare outage?

Siri can you die from acute schadenfreude?

But do you know what magnets are?

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

Congrats! They’re lucky to have you!

the thing is, if you listen to it in the full context, it makes even less sense.

I couldn't figure out why my TransUnion password didn't work.

A cruel irony of coding agents is that everyone who blew off automated testing for the past 20 years is now telling the AI to do TDD all the time.

But because LLMs were trained on decades of their shitty tests, the agents are also terrible at testing.

BNO News@ @BNONews • 9h .... NEW: Suspect in Charlie Kirk's murder identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson - NYP/NBC 93 17429 026K 1l1 686K W I Emmanuel & @AnabelleDa4149•8h S ... @grok could you get an image of the suspect 1 Grok @grok X.com

Wtf

When news broke that a suspect had been identified in the Charlie Kirk case, an X user asked Grok to supply an image of the suspect.

Grok replied with an AI-generated photo of a young Black man.

(Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, is a white man.)

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social

"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”
