You must get as far away from Microsoft as physically possible. The enshittification will only continue to get worse. Use @neovim.io, @zed.dev, etc Use @tangled.org, @gitlab.com, etc Drive @nixos.org or any Linux distro you like There’s truly no reason to use Microslop products!!

Microsoft figured out a way to upset all the VS Code users: Add a comment to commits that says "co-authored by copilot" even when the feature is not used. github.com/microsoft/vs...

i cannot believe that 'rust and memory safety are a gay woke moralist op and true redpillers run vulnerable c code' is a real thing. it seemed too stupid to be possibly real when i 'made up a guy to make fun of' about it years ago but here we are

basically everything should be solar powered by now what are we even doing? this is embarrassing! we’re wasting so much time/energy! we’re literally orbiting around a giant fireball that gives us free energy!

Abandoning tech based on vibes just surrenders your power to meaningfully steer policy in any way. Let’s build more shit. Infinite energy comes from a rock? Power of the sun in a lab? High-speed public transit? Fuck yeah Why is no one doing this?

Historically, the left has understood that technology is a lever for liberation. Handing that lever to the right because tech has an aesthetics problem is an unforced error of historic proportions

The Violence corporation that sells Violence contracts to the DoD seeks to draft every American to fight in their technocrusade. Their mission? Bring about the End Times so their Antichrist CEO can play apocalypse king.

The left has to pivot ASAP from parroting "the stochastic parrots are totally useless" and embarrassingly made up fake numbers about water and heat, and instead recognize the already-actually-existing apocalyptic power that's rapidly being concentrated right now in the hands of a few.

That does sound very concerning. And in this case, I don‘t think it is just hype. Otherwise they would not share this stuff with Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle et al. #Anthropic #MythosPreview #AI #Zerodays

We formed Project Glasswing because of capabilities we’ve observed in a new frontier model trained by Anthropic that we believe could reshape cybersecurity. Claude Mythos Preview is a general-purpose, unreleased frontier model that reveals a stark fact: AI models have reached a level of coding capability where they can surpass all but the most skilled humans at finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities.

Mythos Preview has already found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities, including some in every major operating system and web browser. Given the rate of AI progress, it will not be long before such capabilities proliferate, potentially beyond actors who are committed to deploying them safely. The fallout—for economies, public safety, and national security—could be severe. Project Glasswing is an urgent attempt to put these capabilities to work for defensive purposes.
