The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).

The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

yeah, we're being pushed into Copilot. And I keep trying it, but this insistence on changing unrelated code makes it more trouble than it's worth for me. But my job doesn't usually require me to write a lot of lines of code; most of my commits are quite small.

fwiw, got a very quick reply to my cancellation request, and others on Reddit appear to have received refunds after requesting cancellation

welp, I've been waiting almost 2 months for a well-reviewed bargain subwoofer to ship and just found this post on the company owner's FB page

I didn't look closely, but it doesn't seem too surprising. Yet another lovely facet of the AI age.

My greatest aspiration is to end my career having written net negative lines of code.

It's funny that reviewing AI slop code is currently consuming time that I should be spending on threat research, which in this case is studying the various ways crowdsourced agentic AI will enable hackers to absolutely wreck people's digital lives.

The people touting the great efficiency of code-generating AI (because god knows we need MOAR SOFTWARE!!1!) sure as hell aren't the ones reviewing the code.

(My suspicion is that nobody is reviewing the code, and based on the slop I review, I have to say: lol, you're gonna get pwned so hard.)

One of my favorite things about doing code reviews on Copilot slop is how the LLM makes hundreds of slight code changes with zero functional effect, meaning I get to read a few hundred (or thousand) extra lines of code trying to see which changes are actually significant.

Our Ambassadors should have a basic understanding of the Constitution. But apparently, that's too much to ask of this Admin.

Trump's pick to be Ambassador to El Salvador (who was also Noem's deputy at DHS) had trouble answering basic questions about our Constitution.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin has died of taking a standardized third grade reading level test. He is expected to be replaced at the Department of Homeland Security by two stray dogs humping.

That account is almost exclusively a reply-guy defending Platner’s Nazi tattoo. (Probably not actually Graham, which is even sadder?)

You're right, Ryan. Nobody had this information. Because it's not true.

That album just magically reappeared on my phone yesterday for like the 7th time since I first deleted it.

lol, Ryan apparently got this "information" from a Nazi:

Yes, Ryan. There are antisemites married to Jews. There are virulent white racists with Black spouses. Racism is not logical and a person can genuinely love some people of a given race/ethnicity/nationality/etc. while still being bigoted as hell.

β€œOld white guy needs elaborate conspiracy theories to explain the passage of time” is unfortunately the root of most our problems right now.

clean some new survey data the other day, and it did everything so slickly, with authoritative comments and a glut of helper functions I wouldn’t even have considered creating, that I almost felt stupid looking under the hood. Good job I did, because it was full of errors. And this was Opus.

you mean I'm not the only person who has used their pristine and immense intellect to convince an LLM that there are not, in fact, three Bs in blueberry?

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

β€œLower headcount”? These are people lives, you fucking monsters.

Rot in hell with the shitty world you helped facilitate. Can’t wait to hear the thinkpiece titled β€œI used to sell AI garbage that destroyed people’s livelihoods, then AI took my livelihood. I am sad.”

Take me off your list, psycho.

Think lower headcount & more time focusing on profitable activities. 

Let me know if this is worth looking into.
