Anthropic to Department of Defense: Drop dead There are some moral lines AI powerhouse Anthropic won't cross. Too bad the same can’t be said about OpenAI and other such firms.

Open source package repositories face sustainability crisis Opinion: Careless big-time users are treating FOSS repos like content delivery networks

Open source devs consider making hogs pay for every download www.theregister.com/2026/02/28/o... via @theregister.com & @sjvn.bsky.social

Billion-dollar companies have been treating #opensource code repositories like they have infinite, free resources. Spoiler: They don't. The bill is coming due.

Linux Flies into Space Linux, open source software, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware have reshaped space technology.

Hardcore Star Trek fans know that their futuristic computing devices use the LCARS interface. Could the L stand for #Linux? You see, Linux is being used ever more in space tech. by @sjvn.bsky.social

ServiceNow resolves 90% of its own IT requests autonomously. Now it wants to do the same for any enterprise ServiceNow's new Autonomous Workforce framework inherits enterprise permissions from deployment β€” so AI specialists can't exceed scope or self-escalate. CVS Health's CISO explains why governance architecture, not capability, is the real unlock for enterprise agentic AI.

ServiceNow is serious about automation. Apparently the key isn't about being smarter, it's about having the right roles, permissions and use cases.

"Don't chase butterflies. Focus on gritty, unsexy, operational use cases..."

FCC Chair Brendan Carr praises Bari Weiss’ CBS β€œI think they’re doing a great job,” Carr said at Semafor’s Restoring Trust in Media event Wednesday.

@semafor.com is such a perfect example of softball brunchlord media and the feckless way it normalizes and downplays radical censorial authoritarians

reading this you'd barely be aware that Carr is a free speech trampling extremist (who in his free time guts telecom and media consumer protections)

IBM's $40B stock wipeout is built on a misconception: Translating COBOL isn't the same as modernizing it Investors wiped $40 billion from IBM's market cap after Anthropic released COBOL translation tools. Analysts say the market got the news right and the conclusion wrong.

Just cause Anthropic's Claude can understand COBOL doesn't mean it can actually modernize and maintain it. AI is great, but it doesn't solve everything...

Law Enforcement Without Cruelty Or, 5 actions to promote civil policing within the civil state

"The question, then, is not whether human beings are capable of crueltyβ€”we apparently areβ€”but whether we can build systems that make cruel behavior in law enforcement rarer, riskier, and less acceptable.
The answer is, we can."

This is nothing like 2008. People are buying risky collateralized debt from financing data centers, not risky collateralized debt from home mortgages.
