The attribution for Mastodon's CVE-2026-46349 (CVSS 5.3, retracted boost reissuance) is interestingly reported as:
"This security issue has been reported by Doyensec in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research"
Is this how they say "Mythos" without revealing that Doyensec is one of the undisclosed Project Glasswing members?

You may say, these tech representatives are tone deaf fools or the students that booed them are "cool", "alright", whatever, but that is not the point. It must be SUCH a slap in the face to be graduating and getting YOUR day ruined by your university allowing that. What kind of asshole do you have to be to not make that about them and their achievements but to belittle them and act as if they just don't know that they really want that?
My thoughts on this “AI” thing. (All self-generated.)

The Heart of AI
It seems like everyone wants to talk about AI in recent times, and, well, I am no exception. In my current job, I have been tasked to come up with some guidelines and rules related to the use of La…a simple man
Talked to a software engineer at Microsoft working on Copilot Studio today at a social event and he said he was ashamed that he hadn’t written a single line of code in over three months. “I used to take pride in my work.” (They simply create plans in natural language and feed it to the LLM which generates the code. They can’t even do human code reviews anymore as there’s too much code being generated.)
He said a lot of them were waiting for a catastrophic event (something that would take down critical infrastructure) to get top management to reverse course. He seemed to think such a failure was very likely.
Given what we’ve been seeing recently, I tend to agree with him. Although I feel they will just double down. There’s too much money in the pot for them to fold.
Y’all, we need to talk about upcoming #IPOs, and the insane rule changes that #nasdaq has just announced.
Nasdaq rewrote its #index inclusion rules to accommodate #SpaceX’s mega-IPO, implementing a "Fast Entry" provision that allows the company to join the Nasdaq-100 index just 15 trading days after its initial public offering, down from the standard three-month seasoning period.
They also eliminated the minimum float requirement of 20% available public shares and instead stocks with less than 20% of shares publicly traded, Nasdaq applies a 3x multiplier to the free-float for index weighting purposes, artificially inflating low-float giants like SpaceX in passive funds.
Ok, but in English? #SpaceX, #OpenAI and #Anthropic have just figured out a scam to force every passive #IRA, #401k, and index fund to buy their stock before pricing evaluation.
They’ve figured out how to steal your #retirement.

The author of @allaboutberlin on how Google AI Overviews are killing independent web publishing, citing a 70% drop in traffic after seven years of steady growth. His work trains the model. The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.
Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.

AI is killing All About Berlin. When you Googled something, you used to get a link to my website. Now you get an AI-generated answer trained on my work. This has a devastating impact on traffic. It's hard to fund my work with 70% fewer visitors.Nicolas B. (LinkedIn)
This is really cool.
I love using technology in all my hobbies, and when it comes to running, tech-driven gear is especially motivating. I enjoy exploring new routes, but sketching them by hand is a time consuming task for a busy person and awkward to do on a phone.
Now my PT bot can analyze the areas I've already run and create new routes automatically using AI, Strava, and GraphHopper. All I need to do is upload the GPX file to WorkOutDoors or Runna on my watch and head out to conquer new paths...

OpenAI has committed to spending $600 billion over the next five years across vendors. Their data center contract with Oracle is $60 billion per year starting in 2027. This alone is more than 6x greater than their entire revenue stream in 2025.

#CNN on instagram has video of an example of the #graduation #AI #fail at #Glendale CC in #Arizona
no, that is not Derek Martinez
🤦♂️
and isn't lovely to do all that hard work in college and then in the moment of your success and triumph you're churned through with a robot's voice instead of a fucking human being?
😠
#Graduation #AI #fail seems to be a recurring theme lately
Here's the latest 🍿 for you:
#Glendale community #college in #Arizona used AI to read names
Predictably, it missed people, it had the names out of order, etc
Because, of course, a human reading the names of #graduates and giving them simple decent recognition for their dedication and work is too hard?
This is video of college #faculty trying to explain the debacle. The crowd reaction is not supportive
And oh yeah: Fuck AI
Wired: Meta Employees Are Scrambling to Use Up Benefits Ahead of Layoffs
On the eve of about 8,000 jobs being cut, employees are cashing in on headphone stipends and other perks while they still can.
"...Two employees describe a widespread rush to use up an annual $2,000 flexible benefit, which can cover a variety of expenses including health and wellness activities. A separate triennial credit of $200 toward the purchase of audio gear has led to a scramble to purchase Apple AirPods and other headphones. Another source says Meta offices have been largely empty this week, as people prioritize polishing their résumés and gather offsite to commiserate with friends for what may be their final time as colleagues. Employees are variously “paralyzed,” “coasting,” and “panicked,” sources say...."
Qualitative research matters because some things can’t be measured with numbers alone.
It helps explain how people actually feel, think and experience the world — and that’s why researchers say #AI still can’t replace researchers, even if it can organize some data.

AI interviewers can’t connect with people the way human researchers can – they can produce only data, not meaning

I am moving to a usage-based billing
Dear employer, I will no longer charger a flat monthly salary, instead I will move to token based billing. Included will be every token I receive as input, including but not limited to emails, slack messages, spoken words and mandatory multi-modal meetings that could have been emails. Included will also be output tokens in the form of code, documentation and small talk. Tokens will also be consumed by my internal monolog as I reason about problems.

That's like saying that Henry Ford created a fully integrated conveyor-belt-human workforce.
An AI™ isn't a member of the workforce, it is a piece of machinery.
We are being subject to a massive marketing campaign to portray machines as persons.
The next step will be legislation to give them legal standing, just as they did with corporations. This will allow the oligarchs that own them to shelter behind yet another legal layer to avoid personal responsibility.

I just wish that #Ecosia hadn't gone on to go so deep into #AI with their services. And I don't see a way to cut it out completely like there is on #DuckDuckGo.
