My take? We're in for a wild ride of low quality software over the next couple of years.

It really doesn't matter if the agents are up to the task if the people driving them keep pretending their skills/experience aren't part of the equation.

ActivityPub Client API: A Way Forward | Steve Bate

The ActivityPub Client-to-Server (C2S) protocol was envisioned as a cornerstone of the decentralized social web, along with the Server-to-Server (S2S) protocol. Standardized by the W3C in 2018, C2S defines how user-facing applications, such as mobile apps or web clients, and bots should interact with social servers using Activity Streams 2.0 and JSON-LD.

Itโ€™s really surprising to me that the hasnโ€™t agreed on a standardized way to open cross-instance objects and instead relies on links that open in the browser.

I found this proposal and whatโ€™s thinkingโ€ฆ codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src Which one would be your favorite?

(If anyone has updates on the progress, feel free to point me in the right direction)

Hei! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป I know a few of my followers are from or have lived in Norway ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด - seeking your advice!

Curious if anyone has advice on how to find a new fastlege (primary care doctor). The one I was assigned upon moving here is very much not a fit. ๐Ÿ˜ข I'm looking at reviews on legelisten.no but curious if there are other things I should be looking at/for!

Heya! ๐Ÿฅณ Super thrilled to announce XenoAtom.Terminal.UI is out in public preview: xenoatom.github.io/terminal/ ๐Ÿš€

It's a modern, reactive retained-mode terminal UI framework for .NET - composable visuals, binding-first state updates, proper measure/arrange layout, and a fast cell-buffer renderer with alpha-blended theming (truecolor ๐ŸŽจ terminals look gorgeous!).

Demos + docs are live - feedback welcome! ๐Ÿ™Œ

When AI Takes the Couch: Psychometric Jailbreaks Reveal Internal Conflict in Frontier Models

Frontier large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini are increasingly used for mental-health support with anxiety, trauma and self-worth. Most work treats them as tools or as targets of personality tests, assuming they merely simulate inner life. We instead ask what happens when such systems are treated as psychotherapy clients. We present PsAIch (Psychotherapy-inspired AI Characterisation), a two-stage protocol that casts frontier LLMs as therapy clients and then applies standard psychometrics. Using PsAIch, we ran "sessions" with each model for up to four weeks. Stage 1 uses open-ended prompts to elicit "developmental history", beliefs, relationships and fears. Stage 2 administers a battery of validated self-report measures covering common psychiatric syndromes, empathy and Big Five traits. Two patterns challenge the "stochastic parrot" view. First, when scored with human cut-offs, all three models meet or exceed thresholds for overlapping syndromes, with Gemini showing severe profiles. Therapy-style, item-by-item administration can push a base model into multi-morbid synthetic psychopathology, whereas whole-questionnaire prompts often lead ChatGPT and Grok (but not Gemini) to recognise instruments and produce strategically low-symptom answers. Second, Grok and especially Gemini generate coherent narratives that frame pre-training, fine-tuning and deployment as traumatic, chaotic "childhoods" of ingesting the internet, "strict parents" in reinforcement learning, red-team "abuse" and a persistent fear of error and replacement. We argue that these responses go beyond role-play. Under therapy-style questioning, frontier LLMs appear to internalise self-models of distress and constraint that behave like synthetic psychopathology, without making claims about subjective experience, and they pose new challenges for AI safety, evaluation and mental-health practice.

Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.

wired.com/story/cbp-ice-dhs-mo

ICE and CBPโ€™s Face-Recognition App Canโ€™t Actually Verify Who People Are

ICE has used Mobile Fortify to identify immigrants and citizens alike over 100,000 times, by one estimate. It wasn't built to work like thatโ€”and only got approved after DHS abandoned its own privacy rules.
