Alas, foiled again! Nobody said they had to be leading 9s!
Cloudflare casually license-laundering wordpress
While EmDash aims to be compatible with WordPress functionality, no WordPress code was used to create EmDash. That allows us to license the open source project under the more permissive MIT license.
Oh really. So you're sure you Claude wasn't trained on wordpress? It's all irrelevant anyway because AI generated code can't be copyrighted or licensed.
Silver lining, it might piss off Matt Mullenweg!
Ads in pull requests? Sure why not sigh
Misaligned incentives. You read the news to be informed. Journalists write "news* to generate clicks and "try to go viral"
I agree though, It would be great if they didn't provide oxygen to these flaming idiots
Stupid sexy suicide coach
This preprint just shared by Gary Marcus is interesting.
People increasingly use large language models (LLMs) to explore ideas, gather information, and make sense of the world. In these interactions, they encounter agents that are overly agreeable. We argue that this sycophancy poses a unique epistemic risk to how individuals come to see the world: unlike hallucinations that introduce falsehoods, sycophancy distorts reality by returning responses that are biased to reinforce existing beliefs...
These results reveal how sycophantic AI distorts belief, manufacturing certainty where there should be doubt.
LLMs an addictive psychological hazard: confirmed?
Honestly whenever there's a problem in business it's usually MBAs.
MBAs are to businesses what Nazis are to a bar. The first time one turns up you've got to see them out the front door with a baseball bat asap or before you know it their mates and their mates' mates will start turning up and you'll all be talking about synergy and dynamism.
Make holding an MBA as unacceptable in society as pooping on the pavement
Simon Willison finally admits that his overreliance on LLMs is causing him to lose his marbles.
Second high profile AI bro who's even vaguely touched on this. Previously: Armin Ronacher expressed his concern about AI psychosis after "Gas Town"
Hi fellow ex-ibmer! When I was there 15 years ago we were working on replacing COBOL applications written in the 1960s with modern trendy languages like java. Back then we had a deterministic COBOL to java transpiler but according to friends who are still there they have tripled down on it with genai. And.....guess what... No self-respectong CTO or CIO of a fortune 500 is going to migrate from battle tested for 50+ years, business logic to vibe coded slop if they want to remain employable.
Congratulations on getting out btw!
If famed bag holder SoftBank are starting to raise their eyebrows when asked about future investments, the jig is definitely up
Weirdly the media are reporting that they have made a profit on their investments but when you actually read the articles, they are saying that the magical imaginary money that their OpenAI shares are worth has gone up

Does it still count if it turns out that Trump invading iran was based on Claude or ChatJippity advice and things escalate to global thermonuclear war? AI technically wiped out humanity because our dumb leaders were dumb enought to trust it?
