Not a single word of this is hyperbolic in the slightest. Buy your friends in cybersecurity the drink or chocolate of their choice right now. We are not doing well

computers are now battlefields

The last two years of this administration are going to be a blood bath and the only thing to debate is how much of it will be literal and how much will be figurative. Sigh.

more than most of his peers i think his injury is purely libidinal in nature. the others are a mix of ego injury and psychosexual injury. his seems to just be a sort of pure "being injured turns me on" kind of thing. i don't even know.

If your values can’t help you choose between two things you care about, they aren’t really values. And if you want to know what a team actually values, follow the money: who gets hired, promoted, paid. /by Kieran Snyder buff.ly/SR3s0y2

cpu is dogshit slow for inference, and self-replicating worms already exist (you may know them as rVPNs or botnets) alas they're just repackaging an existing problem as "you should be afraid of everyone's ai except ours"

Thank. You! Someone is following the through-line here.

Proud to brag that I’ve known @ghoulpus.bsky.social before they became a big shot fiction author

They don’t make engineers like Margaret Hamilton anymore.

Mobland isn’t getting anywhere near the attention it should.

some variation of this is what im expecting. jevon's paradox is going to push a ton of people who dont think of themselves as SWEs into weird hybrid pseudo-SWE roles, but the <p50 SWE who just writes java and doesn't bring any product or business insights to the table is turbo-fucked

Oh fuck YOU Ted Lasso. 😢

At this point I don’t think this country deserves a competent woman as president.

We need to bring back product liability laws.

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

The US already got a do over. A mulligan. A second chance. Much of the world, especially US allies, were ready to write off Trump’s first term as a fluke. The American people’s choice to put him back in power—as a convicted felon, after an openly bigoted, anti-democracy campaign—showed it was not.

every single republican president of my lifetime has started a war in the middle east and destroyed the economy

Who knew Matthew Rhys could do physical comedy like this.

Absolutely not on that Emmy’s opening number

This attempt to construct a narrative of persecution around being a white guy in America is at base, an expression of profound jealousy and insecurity towards people who have to overcome challenges they will never face

How did he pass is job interview? The same reason he's all over the press & everyone in the "left" is captured by these people. I'm gonna call it like it is, once again, its ******RACISM********* Y'all can't imagine that WE are the experts.

Well well well

Today is the most Monday of Tuesdays ever

I’m happy to have Labor Day twice but let’s remember why en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day

incredible work by 1PW leadership fucking up bad enough that a fight over Arch Linux for Racists escaped containment so completely that now Jamelle Bouie's telling 750k very online millennials, almost certainly the demographic most likely to pay for 1PW, to go cancel their 1PW subscription tonight

/me looks at @alfredapp.bsky.social …you better not disappoint me.

Instead of “assume good intent” I’d like people to recognize impact instead.

fwiw I think that AI is very clearly leading to a huge huge uptick in security issues everyone but it doesn't require extreme AGI so much as man we have a lot of bad code to exploit, not to mention how much easier phishing has gotten

The overreaction to this Hugging Face thing is driving me nuts. Come flay me for being wrong but... 1/x

Tell you what, I’ll worry about the imaginary oppression of robots in the future when you worry about the real oppression of humans right now

Cancer can fuck off

Today my 15 yr old came back from school and I found her on the couch scrolling thru Dolly Parton videos The kids are alright.

There is no bigger proof that this is The Bad Place ™️
