Grand opening, grand closing.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Ooooooh shit: the AI boom sits on top of a $610Bn stock fraud (detected by trading algorithms on Thursday evening).

"The current inventory trajectory suggests one of two scenarios. Either demand is weaker than management claims and chips are accumulating unsold, or customers are accepting delivery without payment capability"

The Algorithm That Detected a $610 Billion Fraud: How Machine Intelligence Exposed the AI Industry’s Circular Financing Scheme

On November 20, 2025, trading algorithms identified what may become the largest accounting fraud in technology history—not in months or years, but in 18 hours.

My friend seems genuinely baffled that I am an AI researcher who refuses to use AI! Not only that, but I argue against it from theory, not experience. Why don't I just give it a try for a while, and see what it's really about before I judge it?

I guess I see where he's coming from. Part of the problem is the word "AI." LLMs are not my research focus, so it's less of a contradiction than it sounds. But I admit, being a non-user makes my arguments against LLMs less credible.

I just don't understand why I owe it to anybody to give AI a shot. I know how LLMs work in gory detail, and I don't trust them. I've seen the mediocre work they produce. I've read studies about the seductive illusion of competence and caring they create, and how people fall for that. I know it's all built on an incredibly exploitative business model.

I feel entirely justified in not giving them a chance. I guess I'm just as baffled by how badly he wants me to try it, and how sure he seems to be that it would change my mind.

Microsoft has officially admitted that core Windows 11 features are broken. This confirms user complaints, highlighting a quality control crisis as Microsoft prioritizes flashy AI over OS stability. A fix is promised, but without a timeline. Furthermore, Microsoft repeatedly expressed surprise on Twitter that users dislike integrated AI in the OS and Office apps, while requesting users to tone down aggression against employees on Twitter 😅

Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

@r_albRaphael Albert Complying with the GDPR is ridiculously easy for SMBs, stick to your core business and do it well, as long as your core business isn't trading of PII. The GDPR is a huge advantage in competition with external (i.e. US) giants, and I'm flabbergasted that the commision doesn't see they're basically handing local businesses to the US on a silver platter. (Either by acquisition or asymmetric competition.)

Them: "Consider what having to comply with the GDPR means for small and mid-sized businesses!"

Me: "Consider what having small and mid-sized businnesses not complying with the GDPR means for all of us!"

I'm so tired of discussing digital privacy primarily from the point of view of companies, as businesses have always done and many politicians are increasingly doing.

We're talking about a human right! Our right! Don't let them frame it any other way!

게임 개발은 여느 흥행산업과 똑같이 대부분이 패하는 일이다. 그리고 나는 망해서 업계를 떠날 망정 도전 정도는 해보고 싶어서 발을 들였다.

문제는 '좋아하는 장르를 재생산하고 싶다'는 내 비전이 그리 대단한 것이 아닌데도, 생존하기 바쁜 조직에서는 실천하기가 어렵다는 점이다. 조직의 몸집이 작으면 더 민첩하고 도전적일 수 있으리라 기대했지만, 요건은 역시 규모가 아니라 구성원과 비전을 공유하는지 여부였다.
