Haunting blogpost points out the collapse of public coding forums leads to asking chatbots *directly* for answers in private chats, which also leads to debugging sessions with answers that only closed LLM service models have access to, locking out open solutions michiel.buddingh.eu/enclosure-fe...

Cover of the book ILM 50 years of innovation
Very, very grateful to find some of my work featured inside the ILM 50th anniversary book. Extremely proud of what our team in Sydney has contributed in the last 5 years of that monumental history
learning to program in the late 90s and early 00s, you’d inevitably run across classic works like Goto Considered Harmful and No Silver Bullet, even if you weren’t particularly bookish, and there was tons of discourse about HCI as well, all grounded in decades of research
i’m afraid that’s all gone
OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this
Congratulations Francesco and Ton- a well deserved break a long time coming! Maybe the next decades be even more successful
Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
An old school ransomware attack has a new twist: threatening to feed data to AI companies so it’ll be added to LLM datasets.

I really hope we’re not dropping the "content" from "content creator".
It’s a valuable label. Content is a very specific type of culture, one formatted according to the algorithms that determine its success.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time
At the Sydney Film Festival many years ago I was walking behind Hugo Weaving to go to the bathroom. He wasn’t paying attention and went into the Women’s room - only to swiftly come back out and give me an awkward look.
See you tomorrow!
Quite an honour to have some of our team’s work from the past few years featured alongside some of the most iconic shots in vfx history ❤️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=649P...
Brian Eno calls on Microsoft to cease its partnership with Israel and pledges to donate the original fee for his Windows '95 chime to victims of Israel's genocide in Gaza
And the paper, targeting and stimulating individual retina cones cells with lasers 🤯 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Missed this when it came out, amazing stuff. Hard times for the CIE XYy horseshoe www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...
May these words stick to Israel's already blood-soaked history for generations into the far, far future. May our children, and their children, know the term "never again" to include this evil. May those who allowed this to happen feel eternal shame.

Everything I do for a living is based on this. The things you find yourself pursuing as distractions from the things you think you're supposed to be pursuing might actually be your destiny.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
Love how after all the arguments of this stuff being transformative, intelligent, creative, Sam Altman just comes out with “haha ripoff machine go brrrrrr”
scene from Porco Rosso; a man in a blue uniform sits next to an anthropomorphic pig in a trenchcoat, sunglasses, and hat; the pig is saying "I'd rather be a pig than a fascist."

Israeli forces attacked and detained the co-director of No Other Land, Hamdan Ballal, in the occupied West Bank.

French researcher, going to a conference in Houston, was forbidden entry to US; his work and personal electronics were both confiscated.
Why? Because a “random search” of his cell phone revealed a negative personal opinion on Trump and the Trump administration. www.lemonde.fr/internationa...
My latest: Generative AI is enabling a brute force attack against the algorithms that control reality. AI slop is taking over every algorithmically controlled social media platform and search platform, and the tech platforms are helping:
