My dad turns on the news and it's literally "be afraid be afraid be scared stay tuned to see how scared you should be (very)"

like just blatantly exactly that

like oh wow someone inside Anthropic drank the corporate propaganda and believes LLMs will become superintelligent and kill all humans within the decade?? what else is new, the "threat" or "promise" of superintelligence has always been core to their marketing. the technology just isn't capable of that.

Agreed without hesitation. Honestly, this sort of behavior is why I use Mastodon's filters to put callout posts behind a warning to the greatest extent possible. Doing so has improved my social media experience and my mental health significantly.

@gavi

Yeah, if there's anything being on Fedi has taught me, it's that furries and trans girls and other such weirdos hang out on websites with colorful names like “girldick.gay”, they're the ones who've been quietly keeping all the machines working this whole time, and you can trust them with your life.

@gavi There was a post on here a little while ago that said, I have no interest in furry porn, but the presence or absence of furry porn on a platform is an excellent indicator of how inclusive it is. And I think about that a lot

One thing about me is am unapologetically pro-furry. They are kind. They pay for art. They are big on consent. They are the backbone of the internet and most open source spaces. I fuck with furries.

He's listed as a patron on https://omarchy.org/patrons/ now. So he gives money to both Elon Musk *and* DHH.

Maybe he's trying to win some kind of fascism award or something.

some day soon i am going to have (what i'd believed to be) a conversation with someone and feel their attention wander and see their eyes glaze over and i'll say to them "hey are you listening to me?" and they'll answer by pointing at their sleek wristpiece and saying "oh don't worry, keep talking, it's got siri recap." i need to work on my right hook so i can be prepared for when this day arrives

Professionally, I have to take a nuanced position that's largely congruent to their last point about not judging what people do in private.

That is: My goal as a security engineer is harm-reduction. I will not preach "abstinence only" since that's not really an option for a lot of people whose jobs literally obligate them to work with AI tools.

I wrote more words about this topic in my latest blog post. https://soatok.blog/2026/09/08/multi-track-fursuiting/#ai

This is a valid position to take on AI/LLMs: https://ploum.net/2026-09-09-ai%5Fpolicy.html

Most folks on Fedi will probably agree with it wholeheartedly.

so that's very encouraging, because now we know how those crashes manifest and have a methodology for finding their root causes. hopefully, making this all work is just a matter of working through those one by one.

anyway we just spent a bunch of time in gdb tracking down the first such issue, and our fix appears to have gotten it past the point it was stuck at and on to another crash having the same general shape

ireneista@irenes.space ("Irenes (many)") wrote:

the hex transform doesn't have a large number of hooks compared to the other transforms, but it has more distinct kinds of hook than the others do, which makes it a bit tricky to know everywhere that needs to deal with state management

ireneista@irenes.space ("Irenes (many)") wrote:

we did a state-swap trick that makes the inner transform think it's working; the challenge is that the outer transform still has its hooks everywhere, and they need to be able to find their own state.

ireneista@irenes.space ("Irenes (many)") wrote:

today we've begun implementing the pieces that will allow one transform to run inside another, and we've found a way to test just the label transform inside the hex transform for now, not yet worrying about the log-load transform

ireneista@irenes.space ("Irenes (many)") wrote:

whew, okay. last night after showing off the other thing, we took some early steps towards making Evocation's hex transform able to run on the full compiler (rather than just assembly programs).

before falling asleep, we got it to the point that it's able to load all the relevant sources into memory and get far enough to crash on substantive issues rather than trivial stuff :)

Digital Ocean have joined the other numbskulls and have given a bunch of money to the Fascist-ware set of dotfiles that it omarchy.

Millions for a set of configs on top of Arch Linux.

Now I need to find an alternative.

For those not sure why people are jumping ship from people who are supporting dhh’s config files, here’s one of them: “as i remember london by dhh“

So I turn to AskFedi first for any recommendations for alternatives.

One unexpected side effect of hating modern genAI for me is I realized I don't just skim docs anymore, I do take time to read through the thing, including auxiliary stuff I don't directly need at the moment.

I can't quite articulate why I started doing it though :-) Just vague vibes…
