Circa 1993, Vernor Vinge wrote that the first working AI would be the last thing that humanity ever invented.
We don't *have* a first working AI, and at this rate—shifting the global economy to run atop spicy autocomplete trained on 4chan—we never will.
But Vernor was right. Just forget "working".
Footnote: During a tech bubble you don't need to make sure that whatever you're selling "is working", you just need a minimum viable demo and a herd of panicking investors afraid of losing out.
It was like this in 1998/99.

The title is a little off - they start off saying burn it all down, but then they go into nostalgia for the early internet.
I've taken it to mean they want to see the end of these oligarchal (is that a word?) internet powerhouses, and go back to something more human.]

"Paiements retrouvés" : les premiers résultats de l'enquête interne d'Engie sur les éventuels liens entre Rachida Dati et GDF Suez.
Cette procédure confirme des révélations de "Complément d'enquête" et du "Nouvel Obs" sur des documents exclusifs faisant apparaître que Rachida Dati a perçu 299 000 euros de la part d’un cabinet d’avocats auquel GDF Suez avait versé la même somme. Elle était alors eurodéputée et prenait des positions jugées favorables au secteur gazier.

Early stages, but the foundation is solid. We wanted to share the progress.
【BUILT-IN PRO 電器專門店特約】英國多塞特郡城市普爾（Poole）一所教會小學近日禁止學生在校內唱出Netflix 熱門電影《Kpop獵魔女團》的歌曲，指歌曲涉及「惡魔」元素，有違基督教精神，可能讓基督徒感到「不適」。事件引起家長議論，其中有人批評校方反應過度。
Lilliput Church of England School 上周向家長發出信件，要求家長提醒孩子不要在校內唱這些歌曲，以符合學校的基督教精神（Christian ethos）。該校代理校長 Lloyd Allington 在信中指出，學校必須顧及不同宗教背景學生的感受。
他寫道：「部分基督徒會對涉及『惡魔』的字眼感到不適，因為這些詞語與上帝對立的靈性力量相關。即使在虛構或娛樂情境中，這類內容也可能與他們的信念衝突，基督信仰強調拒絕邪惡，而非接觸它，即使是在娛樂時。」
Allington 表示，校方希望藉此機會教育學生尊重不同信仰，「尤其本校是一所教會學校，許多家長正是因為我們堅守基督教精神而選擇讓孩子入讀。」

I've had a pretty heated argument with a supplier of a client the other day - since they use Cloudflare on their infrastructure. I wanted them to ditch CF - because of obvious reasons. And moreover because this particular client needs to take the examplary lead.
Later in the conversation they were open to replacing CF with an EU based alternative, as long as it is a single party that offers the equivalent levels of DDoS protection (the Pro level) and functions of a CDN too.
As much as I wanted to come up with EU-based alternatives, there are currently none. At least none that are a close enough match for the requirements.
In the end, we voiced respect to one another and agreed to create a playbook that allows for easy switching over once there is a fitting EU alternative.
This discussion turned out to be one of the best I've had this year.

Work is pretty big on using LLMs. I don’t like this in general.
I wrote docs last week for something. It took me a couple hours to do, and a lot of it was thinking about the position of the reader.
Why are they reading this? What skill background and familiarity do they have?
A new engineer who needs to understand why it’s build this way? Or 4am Dave trying to fix a production issue, wondering what’s wrong?
This nuance is simply lost for LLMs. Brevity & relevance require context & effort.
How come criminal psychopaths run the place?
No more than 1% of the popn & typically marginalised by their communities, today's criminal psychopaths have organised to an unprecedented level (via the internet, for all its goods)
For psychopaths, power is everything. Money is just a means to it
They have no empathy, so no conscience.
The disorder is so far incurable; only we can stop them.
Even chimps throw out bully leaders.
