Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.
Ever follow someone forever, generally enjoy their posts and boosts so much you get to the point where you reflex-click whenever you see one, CW or not,
until one day...

Meanwhile:
> On November 14, 2025, at the Web Summit conference in Lisbon, multiple AI company CEOs acknowledged this dynamic in public for the first time.
> Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb, stated: “There’s a lot of vibe revenue in AI. Companies are talking about billions in pipeline that may never materialize.”
> Vinod Khosla, venture capitalist and prominent AI investor, told the audience: “Ninety-five percent of AI startups will fail. The question is which five percent become Google.”
> Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said: “We’re in uncharted territory. Nobody knows if this scales to AGI or hits a wall at GPT-5.”
> These admissions carry weight because they contradict the growth narratives supporting current valuations...
checked another microblogging site and saw people arguing about if someone was sufficiently morally pure because despite their dedication to championing the rights of the poor and working class, they habitually used "homeless" instead of "unhoused" and conclude yet again that the left is doomed when it's socially safer to give no fucks about anyone than to care but not be on the bleeding edge of the acceptable language du jour

Crowdstrike stepped up from negligent insiders to malicious insiders. LMAO.
Oh, I'm sorry, Crowdstrike called them a "suspicious insider." Despite the investigation that "determined he shared pictures of his computer screen externally."
And the unnamed threat actors? FEISTY CUMSTAIN.

Folks using #PhanpySocialDev , there are 2 new features that need a bit of testing:
1. QR code for profiles and shortcuts settings - includes scanner (camera) too
2. Import/export accounts - the export *excludes* access tokens, so need to login again after import
They’re quite hidden, so just a heads-up 🙇♂️

CrowdStrike says it caught an insider sharing screenshots taken on internal systems with unnamed threat actors.

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?

ok! now when you add crafting components to the carpentry table you can see them on the table in the world! well, up to a pile of 3 anyway >_>
now i just need to add the recipe picker, pressing E to craft, and being able to pick the components back up and it'll be ready!
