Fun fact: the technology behind shahed drones got to Iran via Israel. No technology got to Iran from Ukraine. And before you argue that some UA tech might have gotten to Iran from Russia - remember, that Israel is cooperating with Russia much more than it does with Ukraine.

True OSINT events be like: "The Event is taking place on Wednesday at noon. Come join us, you know where we are"

One of the best articles to date about the myth of the "good russian" and why it is a problem: thechrissampson.substack.com/p/the-good-r...

The Good Russian Is Not Coming To Save You

And when you tell them that, they will make you pay for it.

Found out that Edinburgh Book Festival scheduled an even dedicated to a book about literally Wagner mercenary on Ukraine's Independence Day. If you have some questions like I do - here's the link to the event: www.edbookfest.co.uk/events/%C3%A...

Mostly current "AI Coding Agents" have two modes: - Writing the code you never asked them to write; - Not writing the code you asked them to write (and detailed in the plan). An optional "let's burn monthly token amount in a day" - both at once plus debug and fixes afterwards.

Tuesday evening. Claude weekly limit reached. And it will get worse.

Weird, I saw “OSINT” accounts posting about every Ukrainian strike on russia, but now russia is raining ballistic missiles on Kyiv and Kharkiv residential area and those accounts are dead silent. I guess I know their agenda now and will just block.

Sorry for linking to X, but it seems to be only there for the moment. Looks like Tulsi Gabbard literally released russian propaganda slides and AI map of Ukraine as official American intelligence documents. Wow. x.com/LauraLoomer/...

What I begin to see is "LLM agent mentality" creeping into people who work with LLMs a lot. More half-baked structurally but already implemented "decisions". More "getting the checkbox ticked" instead of planning for future and maintenance. Less proper planning before implementation.

Everything needs dark mode to match these dark times

Now #Cursor agents can drop dead mid-writing something just because there was high demand somewhere. That can fuck up your project pretty bad (like it did mine). So be aware and probably stay away from popular API agents.

And an interesting tendency, I've caught both Cursor and Claude breaking the rules that were specifically set and reinforced in several places. All they say post-factum is "I read it at the start of this conversation and broke it anyway. No excuse for that". So if you have orchestrated flows - brace

A self-feeding loop: LLMs get to write more and more production code while the same LLMs are getting better and better at finding vulnerabilities. The code mass-produced by LLMs isn't always properly reviewed (mostly by other LLMs) so it welcomes more vulns that security-LLMs can exploit.

Journalism is almost dead. People post announcements of announcements as news and don't ask follow-up questions after being told an obvious bullshit (philosophical term, look it up).

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

It is like every media is Onion now, but the truth is - it is our reality that is more effed up than even Onion authors could've imagined.

Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off

UFO files released again. Made me check back the Black Vault and oh my did they improve the interface since my last visit (probably a decade ago).

I subscribed to a bunch of cybersecurity startup packs on here, but still mostly get US news in my feed.

Seems like USA is at the "Why change horses in midstream?" point in Wag The Dog.

“You don’t change the pilot during a flight — you carry on.” Listening to David Lammy speak is so tiresome. If the pilot turns out to be incapable of doing the job, you replace them, because the lives of all the passengers depend on having someone competent in control. #r4today

Using LLMs for some work tasks can become a habit, and sometimes up to a point of being counterproductive. I've caught myself more than once describing a task to a coding agent only to stop mid-sentence and realise that I will do it faster than I will describe it.

Registered here and used several "starter packs". Now my profile looks like a bot with hundreds subscriptions and zero subscribers. I guess I should complete the image with "Definitely not a bot" in bio.
