Here, in a nutshell, is why using AI for military purposes is worse than dangerous:

If you ask it for a plan to attack something, it will never respond "that's bad idea, don't do it."

What Tom Lehrer did for The Periodic Table, 'There I Ruined It' has done for Africa. This is just so good!

It is a vile scandal that 2 of the biggest AI companies in the world attack children by inciting them to self-harm, and by generating sexually exploitative imagery of kids for profit. I wanted to document this so that people in tech will stop saying they don't know: https://www.anildash.com/2026/02/18/threatening-kids-with-ai/

How did we end up threatening our kids’ lives with AI?

Accessibility Awareness Feb 6

Get in the habit of bringing up accessibility at meetings, in stand-ups, and in demos. Bring up things you've done to address accessibility. Likewise, don't be afraid to ask, "Have we tested this on a keyboard?" or "What's the experience like on a screen reader?"

Mastodon is only a decent community because we actively maintain it. If you see harassment, especially men targeting women, don't just scroll past. Call it out and report it. Let's keep the space clean. Take out the trash.

Forty years ago, at exactly 11:38 Eastern Standard Time, the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle *Challenger* ignited, propelling it off of launch pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center. It would fly for 73 seconds.
