If this press release is true, then if I was a hacker who made their money by pwning billion dollar shitshow startups, what I would know is
A) huggingface has no idea what they are doing and is a rich target
B) they cannot respond to threats, the best they can do is ask an LLM to fix it, and even multiple days later are still issuing truly pitiful patches that dance around the vuln
C) since they will just ask GLM 5.2 to fix it, I'll just pre-rehearse all my prompt injections with GLM 5.2 until they stick, and then in my next attack litter the logs with injections and PWN THE WHOLE IR TEAM TOO

Wow, the postscript on this piece is truly something: http://scripting.com/2026/07/22/202118.html

I wonder what kind of rant isn’t welcome on Mastodon but is A-OK on Twitter? Yeah, *that* kind of rant.

Anyway, this is Manton’s buddy. A guy who literally praises Elon Musk, in writing, intentionally.

Yikes. 😬

Carve two minutes and forty eight seconds out of your evening to go listen to this track:

(You'll want the album, but that's the track you'll remember in twenty years and dust off the CD to listen to again)

My take on the story about OpenAI's model going rogue and hacking a competitor's systems, why it matters.

Also probably the fastest turnaround time for a video that I've managed so far. I'd just got off a 12h flight when the story dropped.

OpenAI are criminally negligent when it comes to cybersecurity, and are very good at viral marketing to executives via poor and uncritical media coverage.

Unfortunately the blog post is the usual "it's the individual, not the company" line without acknowledging that people are upset because the company sends money to said individual. People don't want to be indirectly funding these politics and unless you say that person is no longer directly getting money from the company which facilitates that money, I don't want to give you my money.

Ok this is HILARIOUS: DarkSky International made April Fool's Day "nighttime sunscreen" (supposed to protect you from reflected sunlight from satellites...) https://darksky.org/news/darksky-international-announces-first-sunscreen-designed-for-the-night/

Even funnier, I heard a rumour in a meeting today that they actually mailed some of this to the CEO of Reflect Orbital and their main investors, along with copies of their petition with thousands of signatures from people who don't want Reflect Orbital to kill nighttime for profit. Kudos, DarkSky!

If the independent, non-slop web has any future at all, then now must be the time for every firefox fork to commit to working together to maintain a hardfork isolated from Mozilla.

It's a project that is too large to be handled by any small project alone (and maybe even all of them combined), but one that is too important to left under the guidance of an organization like Mozilla.

Without such bold co-operation I fear we have already lost.

Folks, if your personal outlook is "this is too hard / it will never happen" - that's great, I have that voice in my head too and I also believe it occasionally.

But sometimes you have to tell that voice to shut the fuck up, and actually try to do something that seems hard or difficult or even impossible.

Especially when the other choice is to do nothing and watch the world rot.

You are, of course, free to do that but I am not, and I'd prefer you did it somewhere not in my replies.

Propaganda: "Our AI is so advanced it can escape sandbox containment!"

Reality: "Our AI spits out such shit sandboxing patterns that they don't actually do anything, and since our employees just blindly use what it gives them, there was no meaningful 'sandbox escape' needed."

Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in branding and marketing. Lol and branding what happened as OpenAI now working to "help calibrate on what models are now capable of" is top notch propaganda skills.

Six Democrats just voted with the House GOP to pass the NDAA — with a provision to hand over part of the US military to Netanyahu AND Trump’s voter suppression bill (the SAVE Act) attached to it.

These six Democrats should be ashamed of themselves for betraying their constituents and Democratic voters.

Anyway I successfully finished the leaderboard for my game and squashed out the bugs.

The mistake I made was so silly. It was a single wrong variable assignment. I love code. I hate code.

I will record a demo tomorrow
