Nothing says “serious AI research” like hiring a creative writing specialist at contractor wages to fix vibes.

As for the flag thing, I think we can find something better than a design created by a white slaver in 1775.

That should be something very basic for an actual human.

Did brick-and-mortar write this article. 🤔

Just to be clear, this is not my project just something I'm interested in working on.

Thanks to @eff.org I found a use for some of the EPS32 devices I have laying around and maybe a new project to contribute to.

This can detect Flock cameras and drones. Wonder what else we can do?

We used to think chess was the hard game for AI. When chess was solved it was Go. I've always thought that making a clever crossword is much harder than either.

Fascism and racial injustice intersect but they’re not the same — one’s a political system, the other’s a social hierarchy. And the ‘not for anyone’ stance is how we got here in the first place. Sitting out isn’t neutral, it just lets the worst people drive.

How Hackers Are Fighting Back Against ICE A few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.

Sharing this for developers looking for concrete ways to push back against ICE and support civil liberties.

I've been saying for years that that line is BS. I would love to see some pro-2A MFer defend themselves against the power of the US government. We've deluded ourselves and I don't think there is a way back.

So by that logic, every search engine, web crawler, archive, and indexer on the planet is “industrial scale copyright infringement.” Congrats, you just described how the internet has worked since the 90s.

Agentic Design Patterns Part 2: Foundational Patterns with Working Code Deep dive into prompt chaining, routing, parallelization, reflection, tool use, planning, and multi-agent collaboration. Real Python code you can run and modify.

Want agents that actually work? Read Part 2 of my review of the book Agentic Design Patterns by Antonio Gulli.

5 patterns with working code:
- Prompt chaining
- Routing
- Parallelization
- Reflection
- Tool use

This is how you build real tools, not demos.

I'd give it a try. I read a recipe for traditional Gujarati dal dhokli and it sounds kinda good.

Cool. I’ve always wanted an AI that can plagiarize academic papers and quote Reddit conspiracy threads in the same sentence.

Big Tech owning the GPUs doesn’t mean AI is Big Tech. Compute decentralizes fast. Copyright doesn’t just vanish on outputs—ownership depends on originality. Fair use for analysis is why we have search engines, indexing, and open research. Killing it only strengthens Big Tech, not weakens it.

std::variant can’t be empty… except when an assignment throws, then it becomes valueless_by_exception(). The answer is basically “no, unless yes,” which is peak C++.

EFF is right: training AI is like search indexing—copying to analyze, not to replace. If we license “learning,” only Big Tech can afford it. Worker concerns are real, but copyright is the wrong tool. Fair use protects analysis, human or machine.

Unrolling the Codex agent loop By Michael Bolin, Member of the Technical Staff

Reading about AI agent loops managing other AI agent loops.
Totally normal, nothing to worry about.
Who exactly is in control here? Serious question.

An xzibit meme that says "yo dawg, I heard you use AI. We deployed AI to validate the AI for enhanced AI-driven validation"

Today we made AI audit AI so we could tell investors we’re “closing the loop.”
The loop is us. We are the loop.

Worried about not being able to code without AI anymore. So I asked ChatGPT to just make all the code for everything so I can save it for a rainy day.

LLM Hallucinations in Practice: A Claude Sonnet 4.5 Case Study Real-world analysis of how even advanced LLMs can overcomplicate simple problems - and how prompt engineering helps

Claude Sonnet turned a 2-minute CSS fix into 30 minutes of hallucinated solutions. Invented CSS classes, suggested regex hacks, confidently wrong every time.

Better prompts fixed it instantly. Even SOTA models need babysitting.

Tech billionaires aren’t selling a future for humans — they’re quietly prototyping a world that runs without us. AI replaces labor, automation replaces demand, and they keep the keys. We’re just the temporary training data.

Salesforce has actual use cases (email drafting, lead scoring, data entry). But they shipped generic features across the board instead of nailing the 3 that matter.
Death by a thousand mediocre AI features > excellence in a few critical ones.

Here's the thing: Grok's image gen is mediocre anyway.

The controversy is getting more press than the tool deserves.

If you want AI images, use Midjourney. If you want to avoid platform drama, use literally anything but X.

The charities made the smart call.
