It’s wild that people willingly install these privacy-invading devices in their home.

A quick guide to creating syndication feeds

RSS and syndication are the backbone of the web and have outlived many cycles of the tech industry. There's never been a better time to properly syndicate your content either, so Declan is here to give you a high level tour of your options.

So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.

Totally trustworthy people.

(Any open source project that at the very least requires disclosure of AI-authored contributions should immediately ban Anthropic employees on principle.)

Probably going to get a viral blog out of this experience, I'm trying to report a 4tb exposed cloud bucket to a company using their responsible disclosure programme... but they replaced the people with a GenAI ticket system that refuses to discuss the case as it thinks exploring open buckets is unethical and against its rules.

So apparently the source code of one highly valued, LLM-based code-production product has been inspected by external actors, and found to be extensive, but not exactly an impressive feat of engineering.
Reportedly it consists in some part of natural language directions that attempt to coax, beg, and beseech the text generator to produce desired kinds of output.

Has anyone coined the term "autocompleading" for this style of software development yet?

When that Hogwarts game came out, I already had to adjust my opinion of a bunch of people who’d rather stick their heads in the sand and power through the criticism than play any other game.

Now with the Paramount Skydance Warner Bros. Discovery HBO show later this year, I probably have to adjust opinions again.

The Harry Potter franchise has to die.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

JK Rowling’s transphobia casts and inescapable shadow over the new Harry Potter adaptation.

Rather than the same old boring internet pranks, I thought I'd build something more fun this April Fools.
