I wrote about the completely wild incident where OpenAI were testing a new model and it broke out of its sandbox and broke INTO Hugging Face to steal the answers to the benchmark https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/22/openai-cyberattack/

excited to talk about the (mostly) boring vulns we have, with a slight digression about how LLMs have completely turned the way vulns are found upside down 🙃

Cats are solitary animals, they have no need to express pain. That doesn’t mean they don’t feel pain, they just don’t expect any help. Humans are wired in exactly the opposite way, if we’re confronted with the expression of pain we assume there is pain. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious

Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.

I just released v1.0.0 of my Go diffing library znkr.io/diff. If you need a diffing library, please give it a try. I am quite confident that it's the fastest diffing library for Go (see benchmark section in the readme) and I am fairly happy with the API (see pkg.go.dev/znkr.io/diff). #golang

"Wenn die AfD verboten wird, werden Millionen Menschen gegen das System aufstehen!" Junge, die AfD findet nicht mal genug Leute, um Kandidaten in den meisten Wahlkreisen und auf den meisten Listen bei Kommunalwahlen aufzustellen, und ihre Mitarbeiter sind ihre Familienmitglieder. Wo sind die denn?

Wieso sorgt das Denkmal für mehr Emotionen und Statements bei der Union als die Hinrichtung eines CDU-Politikers durch einen AfD-Anhänger?

1/ Happy eine Woche A100! @bi-a100.bsky.social @ccitiesorg.bsky.social Es ist für mich unerträglich, was in Berlin geschieht. Nicht nur in Sachen Autobahnwahn, aber dieser war in den letzten Tagen der schlimmste Part von Absurdistan. Das war letzten Mittwoch unter Ausschluss der Öffentlichkeit:

Heading home from #GopherCon 2025 in NYC. As usual, many people asked how to get one of the amazing Go gopher Hawaiian shirts by Renee French. I've posted the details at github.com/rsc/gophersh.... (I know one person who has made pajama pants with the pattern. Socks might be nice too.) Enjoy!

I used some evenings of my vacation to further optimize github.com/znkr/diff and benchmarked it against other diff implementations. If I didn’t make a mistake with the benchmarks it’s now more than 10x as fast as the Go implementation of diffmatchpatch, which is the most used Go module for diffing.

Almost every project I start needs a diff algorithm at some point, but I never found a Go module that did what I wanted. So I wrote my own: github.com/znkr/diff. If you have any feedback, especially on the API, please let me know.

Wirtschaftsweise Veronika Grimm: Deutsche arbeiten zu wenig

NEW: We investigated several stories of people who spiraled into severe, life-altering mental health crises after developing all-consuming obsessions with ChatGPT. Screenshots we reviewed show the AI directly engaging with and supporting user delusions + conspiracies. futurism.com/chatgpt-ment...

Nach Anschlägen und Attentaten wird nicht der Opfer gedacht, sondern es geht um die Ethnien aller Involvierten. Ein Armutszeugnis für die deutsche Debatte. Mein Kommentar @taz.de taz.de/Herkunftsdeb...

Herkunftsdebatte nach Attentaten: Die Guten und die Bösen

Statt an die Opfer zu denken, wird nach Attentaten zuallererst die ethnische Herkunft diskutiert. Die rassistische Debatte kategorisiert nicht nur Täter:innen, sondern sogar Hel­d:in­nen ein.

Für #Journalisten: Das Amt für #Verfassungsschutz macht keine "politische" Arbeit, sondern nimmt in ihrem gesetzlichen Rahmen eine rechtliche (sic!) Prüfung von Parteien auf verfassungsmäßigkeit vor. Hört auf, den Bullshit des "politischen" Gutachtens zu verbreiten. Das gefährdet die Demokratie.

Much ado about the role of renewable energy (RE) in the Spanish blackout. The investigation into the effective cause is still ongoing, but many pointed to the fact that RE has no ‘inertia’. Is that true? The answer is: yes, but ... 🧵
