Listen, "The Lair of the White Worm" certainly has hot scantily clad and naked women, I'm just saying if I'd known about the luscious manes sported by young Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi I would've watched it sooner.

Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi after the action in "The Lair of the White Worm" (1988). Grant's hair is defying gravity mop-like around his head, Capaldi's is weighted down around his ears and shoulder-length in the back.Peter Capaldi early in "The Lair of the White Worm" (1988). His hair is long and curly and defying gravity, increasing the apparent size of his head by at least 2x. He's peering pensively through wire-rimmed glasses.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Tons of peoples' Claude chats are exposed on Google. Cryptocurrency keys, API keys, login credentials, legal discussions, more. This happened with ChatGPT last year. And Claude too. There's clearly an ongoing issue with search engines indexing peoples' AI chats www.404media.co/tons-of-peop...

Tons of Peoples’ Claude Chats and Creations are Exposed on Google

Claude users are creating public share links, but probably don't realize that means their chats are now ending up in Google searches where anyone can dig through them.

I feel like the "we have to stop funding hate, *a post on fucking substack*," has been rising like mad lately and I’m struggling to reconcile. People *do* know about substack, right? That whole Nazi thing? "We wish people didn’t have those views" and "but free speech, even when it hurts"? Uh, no?

Protecting our FLOSS commons from LLMs — Codeberg News

In Brief: Two motions regarding

blog.codeberg.org

gabby@fullmoon.id · 2w ago

I thought this was a pretty interesting take from Codeberg's announcement of their anti-LLM policy They argue that many developers using LLMs are essentially heaven-banning themselves where they don't realize they're developing for a nonexistent community

# The development team of none Using LLMs to work with your code gives you a kick of adrenaline. You can develop at a rapid pace, build things as if you had a large team. Only that you have none. In fact, you are (often) alone, working with a statistical machine that turns energy into code. It seems like many ‘vibe coders’ don't realize that they don't actually have a community around them. They build projects as if they had, and spend resources accordingly. We see projects having a lot of code activity, heavy CI/CD testing, frequent and large release binaries. Sometimes, it feels like the amount of supported platforms exceeds the amount of actual users. To us, it seems ridiculous to see projects with a single developer and virtually no users consuming as much or even more resources than some of the largest community projects on Codeberg, which operate frugal with CI/CD and storage resources. We do not believe it is reasonable for Codeberg to invest our precious donation money into hosting of large ghost projects.

Anti-AI Canadians tap in! you don't have to enter any identifying information, just tell them what you think of their obsession with AI.

Sonja Boon@storiedselves.bsky.social · 2w ago

Canadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

In the better timeline, we've had another muppets remake of a classic movie every five years or so, and they're all classics. People fight over which is best: Muppet Count of Monte Cristo, with Kermit as Edmond Dantes and Eddie Redmayne as Albert, or Muppet Moby Dick, with Ian McShane as Ahab.
