When you interact with an LLM, you might start out skeptical.

And then you're amazed. The words are so intelligent, so human, so living. This cannot be a mere machine! You know, as a human, what a human soul looks like, and you see it from this AI! It is a real intelligent being that deserves love and respect and awe.

But you've been fooled.

Not by your sense of human connection, which is powerful and true, but by your understanding of what is happening. The AI is a bot-in-the-middle attack on genuine human connection, taking real, passionate, felt human words and feeding them to another human in remixed form.

It's a reanimation of someone or ones' humanity in shapes which are sometimes realistic, sometimes ghastly.

You can send yourself nuts chasing ghosts like this. And the best way to guard against it is to not use LLMs. Talk to real humans. We are here, we are listening; we are not always perfect, but we're the place where everything wonderful in an LLM truly originates.

Yesterday I brought in guest speakers for both my classes and about 1/4 of students showed up in either one.

I'm amazed since as adults they will spend so much time at conferences and events hoping to learn the same stuff from those guests.

Not sure if it is just kids that think coding is the job in my case.

Once again chat, how about you?

"In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.

Le Monde has a long article (lemonde.fr/international/artic) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.

Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.

He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.

That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund

and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.

Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations."

Haha but serious: those fountain pens that cost thousands of dollars are collectible art pieces that aren’t actually optimized for a good writing experience. They’re CEO bait.

Serious hand-writers use fountain pens that mostly cost between $30 and $200. You can get decent ones for $10 but they tend not to be very airtight and quickly dry out.

My #1 practical recommendation is the TWSBI Eco, which is generally around $40 in the west.

Comic with two panels labeled “yes,” and “but.” The first shows a fountain pen on sale for $2065, the second shows it being used for a terrible childish signature. The credit in the corner is to instagram username underscore yes underscore but.

I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪

The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.

No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.

My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.

Yours shouldn't either.

Der Deutsche hat sich aus gutem Grund ausdrücklich gegen aus stationären Gesundheitseinrichtungen ausgesprochen. Dennoch wird dieser Schutzraum immer wieder verletzt. Mit schweren Folgen.

Der @IPPNW hat eine Meldestelle dafür eingerichtet. Wenn ihr von Abschiebungen aus Kliniken erfahrt, meldet diese gerne dort:

Der IPPNW bietet auch weitere Informationen und Weiterbildungen für Krankenhauspersonal.

In 2007 two incidents involving within the drew national attention. That summer, a cadet at the service’s officer training academy found a noose in his sea bag while aboard a vessel. The next month an instructor discussing relations in response to the first incident reported a was left in her office.

reverses course on policy to call & 'potentially divisive'

The late-night change came the same day media outlets, led by WaPo, discovered that the had written a policy…that called those same symbols “potentially divisive.” The term was a shift from a years-long policy…that said symbols like swastikas & nooses were “widely identified with oppression or hatred” & called their display “a potential incident.”

🇪🇺 "This is the biggest attack on European's digital rights in years," said Austrian privacy campaigner Max Schrems "When the Commission states that it 'maintains the highest standards', it clearly is incorrect. It proposes to undermine these standards."

솔직히 덕코프를 플레이하면서 들었던 몇가지 곁다리 단상. 1. 이제 트리플에이 게임 제작은 사양세다. 게임의 개발 스케일(허들로써)을 키워올리는 요소들 - 대규모 동기성 멀티플레이, 시네마틱 헤비 비주얼, PBR/High-res 리얼리스틱 그래픽 등은 사실 썩 '빅 히트' 의 요구조건과는 상관이 없다; 잘 쳐도 직교적 관계다. 2. 그런데, 그런 sub-A 스케일의 게임 제작에서도 이제 중국 스튜디오의 캐퍼시티나 포텐셜은 '높이 올려다보는 벽' 처럼 느껴진다. 이거보다 더 공을 들여 이것에는 못 미치는 겜을 내 봤다...

Remember that time Mozilla said it was going to stop working with the personal data removal service Onerep after I published a story showing Onerep's CEO was actually running several people search sites at the same time?

krebsonsecurity.com/2024/03/mo

krebsonsecurity.com/2024/03/ce

Yeah, that was in mid-March 2024. In February I wrote about how it had been almost a year since Mozilla said it was going to kick Onerep to the curb and stop offering it as part of their Mozilla Monitor Plus service.

krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/ne

Well today Mozilla announced that it is finally "winding down" its partnership with Onerep by winding down Monitor Plus.

"After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to discontinue Monitor Plus, which offered data broker site scans and automated personal data removal."

"We will continue to offer our free Monitor, data breach service, which is integrated into Firefox’s credential manager, and we are focused on integrating more of our privacy and security experiences in Firefox, including our VPN, for free."

"We explored several options to keep Monitor Plus going, but our high standards for vendors, and the realities of the data broker ecosystem made it challenging to consistently deliver the level of value and reliability we expect for our users."

"Current subscribers will retain full access through the wind-down period."

I asked how long this wind-down period would extend, and they said it ends Dec. 17.
