War Machine (2026), a movie glorifying the U.S. Army, dropped on Netflix on March 6.

The U.S. invasion of Iran began on February 28 under DJP, with boots on the ground still TBA.

Can’t be a coincidence, right?

Right?

I received neither new splash screen, nor fresh new iOS 26 look. Weird!

The absolute state of AI

05.03.2026 12:36 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

First AI came for coding
And I didn’t speak out
Because I wasn’t a developer

Then AI came for photos
And I didn’t speak out
Because I wasn’t a photographer

Then AI came for videos
And I didn’t speak out
Because I wasn’t a director

Then AI came for cute animal videos
And suddenly nothing was left.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Trapped in MS Office Seeking IT independence, Europe wants to escape Microsoft Office. The question is: where to?

Microsoft Office traps us in a world that vanished decades ago. Like the workplace in Severance, it holds us in a closed labyrinth where, instead of thinking, we click. Europe says it wants out. But how exactly do we escape the maze? And where would we go?

It’s only called AI agent if it comes from the Agent region of Silicon Valley. Otherwise, it’s just a sparkling LLM wrapper.

In the Age of AI, Human Support Is a Moat - @iamgregb The latest trend is to declare software, and SaaS in particular, dead. Why pay for tools when β€œAI agents” can build software tailored uniquely to your needs?...

I'm biased, but I'm convinced that human support is a moat in the age of AI -

Meta Director of AI Safety Allows AI Agent to Accidentally Delete Her Inbox Meta Superintelligence Labs’ director of alignment called it a β€œrookie mistake.”

Meta's director of AI safety allowed an AI agent to... accidentally delete her inbox. This is supposedly the person at the company who is working to make sure that powerful AI tools don’t go rogue and act against human interests

Many people in high places are just tech-illiterate, but in my opinion, the worst privacy-violating and surveillance laws are always passed under the banner of β€œprotecting the children.”

They end up protecting no one, but dictators love them.

Putin also loves using the β€œwhataboutism” tactic and frequently claims the Russian foreign agents law was modelled after the US Foreign Agents Registration Act.

That’s why everything happening today is the biggest gift to authoritarians like him.

I never had any doubts that Navalny was killed, and we all know the person who ordered this murder.
