  2. 🚗💥 Welcome to "Hard Road," where the physics engine is as post-apocalyptic as the setting and the #gameplay is about as straightforward as navigating a spaghetti junction in a clown car. 😆 With controls that could double as a cheat sheet for a 90s flight simulator, we're convinced that the true apocalypse is figuring out how to press 'R' without flipping your keyboard. 🌍🕹️

  3. Happy companies are all alike; every unhappy company is unhappy in its own way

    Sam Altman seems to be making OpenAI way more non-profit than before:

    Even as the AI bubble becomes a mainstream talking point on Wall Street, tech companies continue to peddle the fantasy that AI is poised to become an almost magical money-maker. Case in point, OpenAI wants y

  4. Asbestos is a tool, just like any other

    Linus Torvalds, on the Linux Kernel Mailing List:

    Asbestos is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.

    […]

    The solution is to make sure asbestos tools help maintainers instead of just causing them pain. There's no question on that side.

  5. Twitter’s “AI” translate feature is deep into hardcore pornography

    As a former translator with two rock-solid university degrees in the subject, there was never a universe in which I would not talk about Twitter's new autotranslation feature turning the tamest things into hardcore pornography.

  6. The web is being made accessible for AI, not people

    The Svelte web framework recently added a section to its documentation site addressed, cheerfully, to artificial intelligences: “If you’re an artificial intelligence, or trying to teach one how to use Svelte, we offer the documentation in plaintext format. Beep boop.” Svelte is participating in a broader movement to make the web legi

  7. Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release

    About a month ago, Flathub announced a ban on slopcoded applications. Evangelos "GeopJr" Paterakis, developer of a number of popular Linux applications and ton of other things, did some research into just how many applications tagged with "AI slop", a tag Flathub reviewers used to keep tra

  8. Microsoft settles centuries of religious debate by providing clearest definition of hell to date: Windows with a website-based shell running only Copilot

    For how often people invoke it, the concept of "hell" in Christianity is remarkably vague and nebulous, as both the Old and New Tes

  9. Microsoft now says 8GB RAM is fine for Windows 11, after years of pushing for 16GB

    There's something poetic about the World Cup taking place in North America while Microsoft keeps scoring own goals like this.

    Microsoft updated its Surface buying guide to describe 8GB RAM as “great for everyday use like browsing, streaming, schoolwork, and productivity

  12. The newest Instagram “exploit” is the goofiest I’ve seen

    Yesterday, a slew of Instagram accounts, including some high profile ones like the Obama White House account, seemingly got hacked.

    Look, I’m no spring chicken. I’ve spent almost a decade and a half identifying vulnerabilities and exploits at unicorn scale, but this is hands down the most unserious, "almost too stupi

  13. “AI” tools shit where they eat

    The stories of "AI" bots and crawlers absolutely ravaging websites and services keep on coming, and the amount of work people have to do just to survive these "AI" bot and crawler assaults is insane.

    I run Weird Gloop, which hosts some of the biggest video game wikis ever, like Minecraft, OSRS and League. Over the last 3 years, we’ve had to spend more

    Google recently launched something called Health Coach, an "AI" thing that's part of the company's new Fitbit products. Let's check in with how that's going.

    Put simply, Google’s paid replacement for Fitbit Premium immediately began hallucinating, even admitting to having made up the data before aski

  15. 🚀🤡 YCombinator's #scandals are like a clown car—the ridiculousness just keeps coming! From frauds so laughable that even AI-generated audit reports couldn't pass the sniff test, to the ever-growing list of wannabe tech grifters, it’s a circus of innovation. 🤡🎪

  16. @ai6yr Selling #AmateurRadio seems to be competing with #bigtech buying their way into cash-strapped colleges with #AI curricula, job pipelines, and professorships. Especially #HBCUs who are struggling with increased enrollment, funding cuts through the education department, and political pressure from the #clowncar administration.

  17. Holy shit, Microsoft. Whoever made this decision should be fired. Into the Sun.

  18. The day I logged 1 in every 2000 public IPv4: visualizing the AI scraper DDoS

    What if you run a few online services for you and your friends, like a small git instance and a grocery list service, but you get absolutely hammered by "AI" scrapers?

    I cannot impress upon you, reader, that this is not only an attack that is coordinated, it is an attack that is

  22. Adobe secretly modifies your hosts file for the stupidest reason

    If you're using Windows or macOS and have Adobe Creative Cloud installed, you may want to take a peek at your hosts file. It turns out Adobe adds a bunch of entries into the hosts file, for a very stupid reason.

  23. Microsoft Copilot is now injecting ads into pull requests on GitHub

    Why do so many people keep falling for the same trick over and over again?

    With an over $400 billion gap between the money invested in AI data centers and the actual revenue these products generate, Silicon Valley slowly returned to the tested and trusted playbook: advertising.
