This. Spending yesterday morning updating PHP runtimes and Docker containers in order to solve a problem that LLM companies "helped discover" is awfully insulting when you remember that the reason these bugs are a problem at scale is due to script-kiddies weaponizing them with LLM generated code.
The AI companies claiming they helped find the latest php vulnerability feels a lot like a burglar trying every door in your building and claiming it’s for your protection. I don’t think the average person has any idea how much time is being spent keeping AI-enabled bad actors at bay.

A Microsoft executive called “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” and the “largest theft of labor in human history.” An internal Microsoft document said generative AI products have created a “doom loop” that is killing “the entire web.” www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...
Ahem, @hydroquebec.com.
New Jersey is legalizing small plug-in solar systems that connect to an ordinary 120-volt outlet and letting renters and apartment residents generate their own electricity without a permit or utility approval. Full Story: https://electrek.co/...

It’s time Canada logged out of U.S. social media for good
One of the most glaring differences between @mls.bsky.social and the higher calibre European leagues is the poor officiating. Rather than punishing coaches and players who get frustrated with this, the league should commit to improvement. Sadly, they've taken a different approach. 1/2

If we keep going with this format, perhaps we will get to the point where playoffs start on opening day, each team plays the others an equal number of times, and the team with the most wins gets the title. 😜
MLS is planning a major overhaul of its playoff system that would see 20 teams participate in a double-elimination format, according to The Guardian. #MLS #TFCLive #VWFC #CFMTL ✍️ @vancouverinsider.bsky.social has the details
This feels like exactly what the "Net Benefit" test was designed for, no? Canada has a long history of foolishly allowing key home-owned or home-grown technologies to be sold to US interests. Surely in 2026 stopping this sale is a no-brainer.
A payment processing company responsible for approximately one in three payment transactions across Canada will soon be owned by an American private equity firm. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

@bunny.net Any chance a Canadian based storage zone is in the cards? I'd love to move my S3 needs to a European company with a footprint here in Montréal. :)
Daily reminder: the generative AI business is entirely built on the theft of your ideas.
Scoop: The AI music generator Suno was hacked. Hacker shared source code that shows how the tool was made and part of the music and podcasts that were scraped to create it. Decades worth of music, lyrics, and podcasts from YouTube, Deezer, Genius & more www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

“I came for the polyphenols. I stayed for the emotional unbinding.” Most hilarious thing I’ve seen all day. Disclosure: I know the doctor.
I don't knowing anything about TKMS vs. Hanwha but the part of me that loves everything to do with submarines is amused that Canada is about to be an operator of a fleet of "u-boats". www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

An economic strategy isn’t about tools - it’s about products and services and sectors. AI to make what? AI for what purpose? If you can’t answer those questions, there’s no strategy. If you have an economic strategy and the tools are good, adoption will be organic. Solve the right problem.
