There is no plan in AI. There is no person, company, or government that knows how to govern it in an effective, robust, and predictable way. There is currently no law, safeguard, mechanism, or magic switch that can guarantee that no AI will get out of control. Zero. Zilch.

In my experience Go gives you performance closer to system programming languages while gives you AI support closer to JS/Python. Main problem is keeping code human-maintainable as you use more. developers.googleblog.com/why-go-is-an...

In a first, US will allow some private firms to carry out cyberattacks | TechCrunch

The new order sweeps away decades of existing U.S. cybersecurity policy prohibiting private companies from conducting 'hack back' attacks or offensive cyber operations.

Yes, it's not formally finite. In other words it can contain things like an infinite loop. And as much as it is tough to wrap your head around, here's a piece of hardware that if not manually stopped would destroy itself because of such a situation.

I largely agree with Bender here, we shouldn't over anthropomorphize models. But I fear that things like "prompt" and "answer" are already in the vernacular, and it's already difficult enough to vulgarize AI (disam.) terminology. buttondown.com/maiht3k/arch...

A study concluded that the uninhibited pumping of groundwater by farmers, cities and corporations around the world now accounts for 68% of the total loss of fresh water at the latitudes where most people live. (Published July 2025)

“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat

A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

Just had to run out on the street and tell my neighbour she's not supposed to look directly through the colander holes at the sun

✴️ See the Sun like never before with most detailed images yet ｢ the practical need to understand and protect ourselves from space weather, the new findings were a reminder that the Sun is a "unique laboratory" ｣ www.bbc.com/news/article... #sun #spaceweather #science

See the Sun like never before with most detailed images yet

New images and footage of the Sun show "whirlpools" of activity that it has not been possible to see before.

I was five minutes ago years old when I learned that the colander is not for using like eclipse glasses but for looking at the degrees of eclipse through the holes 🤓

exactly 💯 on LLMs: they simulate the output we call language, not the cognitive capacity we call language!

Dr Katie Twomey@k2mey.eurosky.social · 2w ago

Arguing that LLMs are anything more than a load of numbers going into a complicated mathematical function and spitting some more numbers out. Yes they simulate. But they simulate *language*. They do not simulate the cognitive processes underlying communication.

At the end of July, Minnesota detected hackers that had targeted around 36 municipal water systems in the state. Since, at least 11 other states, including Michigan, Georgia, New Jersey, and South Dakota have discovered similar breeches, writes Justin Sherman @jshermcyber.bsky.social.

Why hackers targeting America’s water systems have the upper hand

Protecting critical infrastructure from cyberattacks means confronting a mismatch between the threat and the government’s ability to respond.

Happy eclipse day to those who observe. My region does not practice today.

Don't forget: when you're reviewing code, stamping means you're accepting it as part of your own code as if you've written it yourself. AI ate my code won't cut it.

Most AI policy experts will not admit it publicly, but due to the lack of coordinated, proactive, and effective action, AI companies and the models they train are already shaping societal institutions, frameworks, and systems, the job market, and our prospects for the future. My article:
