"[...] adding the keyword “Additionally” triggered unintended behavior in the model, causing it to reframe its output rather than refuse it." A simple word and the security of your product is jeopardized... noma.security/blog/gitlost...

There's a great deal that's alarming about the Prairieland sentencing, regardless of how one views the shooter, but the biggest deal is 30 years for a man who wasn't there, convicted of moving a box of zines while knowing protesters. Consider the implications. theintercept.com/2026/06/23/p...

Le « Jour de la serviette » est une célébration annuelle rendant hommage tous les 25 mai à l'écrivain britannique Douglas Adams. Les participants sont invités à emporter une serviette de bain avec eux pendant la journée 🤔. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jour_de... #insolite

Imagine if employers were willing to spend this kind of money upskilling their employees or paying for dev tools? Or stop doing open plan offices? The only time they want to invest in dev «productivity» is when they think they can get rid of us all together.

No deficit speedrun in 6 months
When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Sadly, I’m not at all surprised at this, since it was unlikely that Alberta’s awful Premier would let Ontario’s awful premier hold the title for “leader most likely to endanger people, make traffic congestion worse, & hurt the success of cities, all to score dumb ideological points with their base.”

Imagine talking about any other public service this way. Does the government keep public hospitals “afloat”? What about when it gave Marine Atlantic $169 million to support its operations in 24/25? The media does the bidding of those who want to private Canada Post when they adopt this framing.

The greatest marketing trick the AI industry ever pulled was convincing the whole world that it is inevitable. That human like intelligence is only a matter of time. We spend almost all the time talking about what AI “will” be able to do rather than what It can do.
your "claude number" is the version of claude required to peel you off from reality. yes, it's funny that richard dawkins' claude number is only 4.7, but you have one too. maybe it's 12. but maybe its 4.8.
any of my anglophone mutuals have listened to this band yet? they went viral avec that performance, selling out shows around the globe in minutes and they come from my very small hometown in the middle of nowhere. check it out, you'll be changed forever
