I have no special insight into the specific finances of various companies but I don’t know how you don’t spend like ten minutes with Claude or Codex and think that this isn’t a viable product that people will spend money. Individual firms may go bust, but LLMs are straight up never going away ever.

I saw red vent with an em-dash

Yes and also this sort of 'uniparty' nonsense feels so hollow deployed in the midst of a national stove-touching. It turns out the difference between a 'milquetoast corporate Democrat' and Trump was really big! President Harris would not be driving trans soldiers out of the military!

“quantitative leasing” 💀

companies have been trying to use digital scent technology to sell 0.3% more popcorn in movie theaters for years but the killer app of scent is coming

OMG Many ICLR papers have simulated placeholder values in their experimental results. researchonresearch.blog/2026/10/20/s...

You used to call me on the poop phone...

"the files are encrypted, let me search online for the key" "i found the key" ok wow why didnt i think of that

Have you seen the new CVE? It's on leegnux. It's literally on MITRE. It's on zendo with ads. It's literally on GitLab. You can probably find it on zendo. Dude it's on Joomla.

my nothing #mynothing

Incredible

the story goes like this

CURTAINS FOR PHP??? GITLAB AND NODE JS CAUGHT CVE'ING A 4

ill be honest i did not budget for it being this funny. i think the show can stop now

It's bad day when there's enough discourse on the feed between eMudhra and PHP that nobody mentioned litellm yet

there are no unpatched php servers on mars

What a time to be alive!

okay, what the hell? i expected php to bungle their security patch. i did not expect openai to brag about how smooth and great the process was and how proud they are of it here they should not be proud of it this was bungled af

Claude, plz rewrite wordpress in rust. Yes all the plugins too. No I don't just mean the source code, I mean like, go replace everybody's wordpress install. You don't have access, well funny thing...

actually, 4 is a very hard to guess number, and is secure from modern attacks

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. If you package/distribute/maintain root stores or chain verifiers, act immediately. If you know how to remove trust in a root, consider doing it now. Otherwise, prepare to update systems as patches/mitigations come. Go users, update to Go 1.27.3 or Go 1.26.10.

Making myself angry for no reason at all remembering the American transit planner that went to Amsterdam and was appalled at how little stakeholder engagement they did in favor of actually building shit.

Speed running through the 2010s papers I see. Did they publish their SQuAD numbers?

I have reached 555 followers. I should now start skeeting regularly on exactly a fixed interval.

I just realized I've never - not once - seen an LLM say "i don't know" or "im not sure". I think that's what makes LLM-generated social media posts so recognizable: no uncertainty, no humility (not even pretend humility), no hedging. And, like, the world is nuanced, man.

Some people were making me mad on the internet so I wrote a blog post about it. On the different reasons for people have for being left wing and how people manage the psychological tensions of the fact that they come apart. sootyempiric.blogspot.com/2026/10/the-...

A very interesting thread on consciousness, and dealing with entities that have goals of their own. There is a flaw in the thread though: it conflates consciousness and personhood. Non-human animals are conscious and engage in strategic behaviors, but they are not people. Morally, that matters.

On one hand, I hope my hot dog has no brains in it. On the other hand I know better than to ask.

OpenCode got hacked, losing control of many API keys and giving new meaning to “open code” www.reddit.com/r/opencode/c...

Sometimes the AI discourse on here becomes so much that I wish for more politics (broadly defined). The politics discourse actually happens...

If you are a San Francisco voter who actually wants to implement left-progressive policy, Scott Wiener is your candidate.

Stats are useless. The only way to understand people's experiences is to talk to a ton of them and aggregate.

The tension here is that the econometric definition of middle class is tautological - exactly 50% of people make between the 25th and 75th percentile of incomes - and the social definition is tied to arbitrary and constantly increasing signifiers

also the ones that do talk about how "the machine god is here, behold the signs" are doing something much worse than thinking linear algebra is god. they think policy optimization for reward maximization is god

Cycling between 10+ coding agents doing related work.

"Are LLMs conscious?" "That's the wrong question and it valorizes human institutions and human ways of knowing and being and structuring society in really problematic ways. "

Yeah sure, everyone is celebrating now, until it's 10000 AD and Easter is off by 20 minutes

This is what model collapse looks like

It's machine learning if it answers math questions. It's artificial intelligence if it writes novel math proofs. It's super intelligence when the contract says you have to call it that.

the funnel - 80% of the world has no AI contact - ~20% have janky experience - 0.2% are power users - 0.00006% work for labs and have internal access to actual frontier models

This is so fucking good www.liberalcurrents.com/fukuyamas-gl...

Worst company pivot since Meta

someone has to do the things! someone has to talk to people! or run the cyclometer or put the shit in Petri dishes or kill that rats or do whatever! the computer can just move numbers around and it's *really* at that but there is more than that!

We mostly have one common word, "understand", that needs to carry multiple levels like: 1. I can parrot the definition back 2. I can explain its relation to other concepts 3. I can solve exercises related to it 4. I can solve problems related to it 5. I can derive new knowledge atop it
