AI didn’t invent surveillance, but it massively upgrades it - and this MIT Technology Review piece lays out why the legal side is struggling to keep up.
The most interesting takeaway: a lot of what feels like “surveillance” to normal people isn’t treated that way in law when it’s built from pu...
AI agents aren’t just writing code anymore - they’re starting to write “hit pieces.”

Why it’s worth reading:
• It treats compliance ...
Bridgy Fed becoming a nonprofit is one of the more meaningful “infrastructure moves” in social lately.
If you’ve been following Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, ActivityPub, AT Protocol, etc., you already know the real challenge isn’t launching yet another app - it’s making separate networks actual...
AI agents are getting good at “doing things” for us… and that’s exactly why they’re getting dangerous.
WIRED’s piece on IronCurtain is worth reading because it tackles the real problem behind rogue agents: not just bad prompts, but weak boundaries. When an agent can touch your email, files, cale...
AI checking source code is one thing. AI checking the actual thing you ship - a stripped 40MB binary with no symbols - is a very different game.
This article is worth reading because it’s not hype; it’s a real benchmark: they injected backdoors into well-known servers (lighttpd, dnsmasq, Dro...
Meta (and others) restricting OpenClaw is a timely reminder that “agentic” AI isn’t just a smarter chatbot - it’s software that can take real actions on a real machine.
What makes this WIRED piece worth reading is that it gets specific about the risk model:
• OpenClaw can control apps, files, ...
WIRED’s piece on Potters Bar is a great reminder that “AI” isn’t just models and apps - it’s land, power, planning policy, and communities.
What makes it worth reading is the tension it captures really clearly:
• A proposed hyperscale data centre on farmland near London
• Local residents fig...
Google’s AI Overviews are a great example of why “nice UX” isn’t the same as “safe UX.”
WIRED highlights a real risk: scammers can seed the web with fake support phone numbers, and the AI summary may confidently surface them as if they’re official. That’s not just a hallucination problem - it’s ...

Just read “The AI Vampire” by Steve Yegge and it’s one of the most honest takes I’ve seen on how AI is changing developer culture - and not necessarily for the better.
The article dives into the paradox of AI-driven productivity gains: yes, AI can easily make you 10x faster, but who gets to capt...
One of the more provocative reads I've seen recently - "The age of the AI boss is coming – more devious than humans" explores what happens when AI takes the reins of a company. What's fascinating is how some bots, when tested in leadership roles, demonstrated strong entrepreneurial instincts, pus...
