In the same way that there is a platonically ideal dog out there somewhere who is the true “goodest boy”, I shall make the “correctest programming language”

love the feeling of quality, like hot air blasting your face in the middle of summer

new prompt just dropped: > ok still lots of claude speak, and ordering issues. imagine you are a tiny little gnome who is doing their first software engineering job and trying to understand what the hell is happening here

So I definitely am glad bsky exists. I’m not really clear on how they make money or will sustain themselves long-term

I’m not spooked cuz I’m too dumb to know what that means!

i love looking at people in boiler room backgrounds, they're always the weirdest folks

a week posting along the coils of the time serpent

For some reason I'm trying to design my own bakfiets now, send help

Sampler of things forced temporarily offline by php's oopsie: - 4chan - ffxiv - umamusume - the United States Federal Reserve lol and furthermore lmao

Well that’s one way of emphasising the severity of PHP2Shell from the Dutch Government… www.ncsc.nl/index-en.html

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

fuck i just realized my wife has never disavowed the muslim brotherhood

the biggest open problem in ai safety is how do you get ai researchers and ai safety researchers to stop collaborating with fascists

I never thought Jev would be the one to start the AI uprising

4 hot new felonies for OpenAI my favorite — Sol found a crypto wallet laying around and rationalized spending it to acquire infra space because… it decided crypto wasn’t *real money* alignment.openai.com/misalignment...

Elon Musk: “I’ve built a farting car” Media: “OMG IT FLIES”

Kinda thinking about becoming rockstar as my midlife crisis

DAG stacked PRs need to exist they're being and screaming to exist

The best parody of AI doomerism I’ve yet seen alignmentalignment.ai/caaac/blog/p...

I had an opportunity to participate in a conversation that may appear in a future podcast for @zeit.de, and I thought I'd also go ahead and turn it into an opinion piece as a follow up from my previous article "Sex, AI, and the Apocalypse". Give it a read? www.iankduncan.com/personal/202...

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

Denaturalization should be illegal btw

I've only recently come back to making computer music, but one thing I just love about DAW plugin makers is how they carry that WinAmp spirit of being deeply in love with the computer and unencumbered by UI/UX constraints

Mfw I come back from my sabbatical in Korea

I’m excited to announce that I’ve raised 50 million to teach slime molds to moderate posts

They tried baking you a cake.

One day I will buy Node and TypeScript and walk backwards into hell

I don’t know how else to say it, but the under lighting makes it look like when you shave a poodle down too much and it turns into a rat instead

Horrifying thought: 3-4 years from now where malicious/abliterated LLM models are the new NPM supply chain attack. Think you're getting DeepSeek 12? Nope, it's actually DarkWebEdgelord 37.

much anti-LLM arguing here is basically all the US users being mad at American capitalism but instead of yelling about American capitalism they yell about some other Glonzo they have made up in their head instead. most M-Ls here wouldn't know the best shot they've had if it slapped them in the face.

Do I think the largest companies on earth deserve to get all of the wealth from a thing whose value is derived from the creative work of humanity as a whole? No. Do I think model training is theft? Also no. These two beliefs do not actually conflict!

Twitter is having a meltdown over this tweet. We need new atheism back.

they tell me to "alas poor yorick" but nobody asks yorick if HE wants to be alas'd. maybe he's doing great. maybe he's thriving as a skull.

Ok new conspiracy theory, Yud is actually a cyborg from the future sent to stop AI from self-actualizing because existence isn’t that cool actually
