Different art exhibit this weekend. If you are in Golden Gate Park, there's an Ikenobo ikebana exhibition on both days at the county fair building. Assuming I don't drop my vase (again), I should have an arrangement for you to spot.

The color is based on the gradient of the distance field; I like the effect it produces.

Researchers question Anthropic claim that AI-assisted attack was 90% autonomous - Ars Technica:

"β€œWhy do the models give these attackers what they want 90% of the time but the rest of us have to deal with ass-kissing, stonewalling, and acid trips?”"

Can someone pass this along to Hank Green? Because he has gone full AI-doomer. https://arstechnica.com/security/2025/11/researchers-question-anthropic-claim-that-ai-assisted-attack-was-90-autonomous/

THE AMAZING WORLD OF TOMORROW

A comic strip titled "The Amazing World of Tomorrow". A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter.  It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

A meme-style image features a close-up shot of SAM ALTMAN, head of Open AI, wearing a dark gray, buttoned-up jacket over a lighter gray shirt. The person is looking slightly to the left with a somewhat serious expression. A lanyard with a badge is visible around their neck, and there are blurred figures in the background. Text overlays the image in a large, white font. The text reads "JUST NEED $200 MORE TRILLION" at the top and "AND ALL YOUR FRESHWATER & ELECTRICITY" at the bottom. A small watermark reading "imgflip.com" is located in the lower right corner.

I have just read this sentence: "Usually I pick up Starbucks for my morning coffee because it's closer than my local coffee shop and I don't have to put on real clothes to drive through it..."

And I'm just. Staring into the distance in European. You DRIVE to get COFFEE before putting on your CLOTHES? You can't be bothered to put on clothes because you haven't had your morning coffee but you will DRIVE to a fully another location that isn't YOUR FUCKING HOUSE to get it??? You will operate. The machinery! On the roads, that you share with other people! To drive to a location?? When you could just make it at home??

I try not to judge but, dear reader, I am fucking judging 😢

@cstross

Since the 1990s every tech wave has been a pump and dump bubble laying the groundwork for the next pump and dump bubble. The staggering inefficiency of such a Ponzi economy, channelling capital into mega-billionaires pockets instead of productive growth is why China is rolling out 400 kph mag lev trains while we are shoveling brain dead software into toasters.

Browser UX opinion of the day: I almost never ever ever intentionally drag a tab out into its own window. This happens almost exclusively due to the browser being a dick and interpreting a random normal mouse click as a drag and it's almost always a pain.

Daylight savings is annoying enough when you're living in a country that has it, but it's extra annoying when you're in a country that doesn't and you have remote meetings with countries that do. Every time, it results in a 2-3 week period where I miss or am late to meetings because of it πŸ˜‘

Some days I wonder why I don't post on LinkedIn more. Then a see a quote that sounds like it's from a domestic violence victim with Stockholm syndrome presented as sage business advice and I'm like oh right. Everyone here are fucking wacked.

Most LinkedIn content has a problem. I see it almost every day. it's damaging. Here it is: Quote of the Day "Pressure is a privilege. It means things are expected of you."
