Grokipedia Is the Antithesis of Everything That Makes Wikipedia Good, Useful, and Human

Grokipedia is not a 'Wikipedia competitor.' It is a fully robotic regurgitation machine designed to protect the ego of the world’s wealthiest man.

Ah yes, the groundbreaking revelation that "Nothing's Untestable" 🌟🔍, brought to you by the geniuses who couldn't define "antithesis" if it stared them in the face. Meanwhile, the rest of us are left wondering if the real untestable #enigma is how anyone stays awake reading this corporate drivel. 😴💤

Weekly output: Google’s AI Mode, Waymo’s software testing, Trump threatens Chris Krebs, Venmo’s dubious privacy defaults

I had a short and useful visit to the future home of Starfleet Academy’s headquarters, courtesy of NTT’s Upgrade 2025 conference there hosting me (including comped airfare and lodging), and now I need to finish writing two pieces from that Japanese telco’s event.

4/7/2025: Google Expands Its Conversational ‘AI Mode’ Search Option, PCMag

Since I already had access to AI Mode and since this is a gardening time of the year, I tested this search option with some queries on that subject for Google’s Gemini AI.

4/8/2025: For Waymo’s Software Team, Bug Hunting Sometimes Happens at 45mph, PCMag

I wrote up an enlightening talk from a Waymo engineer at a software-quality conference I attended the week before hosted by a Tysons Corner startup called Antithesis–and then I got to experience the results of Waymo’s ongoing work during two uneventful rides in San Francisco.

4/10/2025: Still Mad About Losing the 2020 Election, Trump Targets Cybersecurity Pro, PCMag

One reason that I haven’t yet filed anything from NTT’s event is that I took time Thursday to report and write this post to ensure that it would adequately convey the fraudulent nature of Trump’s complaint against Chris Krebs, the CISA director he hired in 2018 and then fired in 2020 for telling the truth about the integrity of that year’s election.

4/11/2025: Venmo’s dubious defaults look like a permanent privacy foul, Fast Company

I’ve had a version of this story on my to-do list for a while, but then the inept opsec of the Trump administration served up a news peg when journalists found the Venmo accounts of multiple White House principals and started exploring their public-by-default friends lists. (Everyone in this administration should have known better, since BuzzFeed News located Joe Biden’s Venmo and inspected his friends list back in 2021). I quizzed a few subject-matter experts, but getting a statement out of Venmo took a little longer.

Starfleet Academy

Starfleet Academy (also referred to as the Space Academy) was a department within Starfleet. The main purpose of this department was for the education and training of individuals for service in Starfleet. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before", "The Apple"; TNG: "Final Mission", "The Drumhead", "The First Duty"; DS9: "Heart of Stone", "Little Green Men", "Homefront"; VOY: "Learning Curve", "In the Flesh", "Imperfection") The movement of personnel in and out of this service was governed by the Star

My kingdom for an M10 1.25 bolt so I can use the air compressor to remove the last stuck part on the bike brakes, some good weather coming so looking forward to hopefully getting to use it this week. #spring #ireandedunorde #motorcycles #ebikes #wellbeing #fitness #clearheadblueskies #suzukibandit #mechanicaladventures #classicmachines #family #countrylife #antithesis

In the wake of the current #leftist #libertarian #wokeist #hypothesis, the rise of the far #right #antithesis is inevitable.

It is to be seen if #intelligent #rational #minds will succeed in creating an #evolutionary #synthesis.

Awesome post — particular love the evidence of, “the first actual bug” found in a system. ROFL. Love the detail re Antithesis, the complexity of “historical” debugging and in-depth look! Thanks @gergely Orosz! #debugging #Antithesis #SDLC
