Adding Debian to the disappointment list.
Full refusal of these systems based on humanistic principles is actually very easy.
And reducing their acceptance on the usefulness of their output is exactly the thing that’s missing the point.

There's only one real option for a distro that's 100% ethical and also 3-5% faster.
Habe mir eben die Rede von Frau Schwesig im Bundestag zum #Social-Media-Verbot im Nachhinein noch mal ganz angehört. Ich musste früher los. Nämlich zu unserem Fachgespräch zum Social-Media-Verbot und zur #Altersverifikation Und nunja. Ich habe nach den Inputs der Expert*innen noch viel mehr den Eindruck als vorher, dass die Rede inhaltlich wenig Substanz hatte. Die Vergleiche sind teilweise sowas von wild und weit hergeholt. Wie man das umsetzen will ist mir immer noch nicht klar. Und welche massiven Konsequenzen das für uns alle hat spielt keine Rolle. Aber hauptsache man spricht uns erst mal sämtliche Kompetenz ab. Läuft.
Fachgespräch war ganz toll und super interessant und ich bin jetzt sehr viel schlauer. :3

So the US knew the location of the Iranian ship off Sri Lanka bc both the US and Iran were part of a military exercise hosted by India which the US pulled out of at the last minute, presumably so as to bomb the unarmed Iranian ship.

@mcc @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I concur with the assessment, and have been sharing similar warnings. In fact, we are beginning to see a pivot in stealer activity to install OpenClaw, etc. for exactly these purposes. It's a botnet, compute miner, and worm all in one.

So according to Trump, Noem lied to Congress. Isn’t there a law against that? 🤷🏼
I am convinced we are on the verge of the first "AI agent worm". This looks like the closest hint of it, though it isn't it quite itself: an attack on a PR agent that got it to set up to install openclaw with full access on 4k machines https://grith.ai/blog/clinejection-when-your-ai-tool-installs-another
But, the agents installed weren't given instructions to *do* anything yet.
Soon they will be. And when they are, the havoc will be massive. Unlike traditional worms, where you're looking for the typically byte-for-byte identical worm embedded in the system, an agent worm can do different, nondeterministic things on every install, and carry out a global action.
I suspect we're months away from seeing the first agent worm, *if* that. There may already be some happening right now in FOSS projects, undetected.

The USA and Israel have made it abundantly clear: either you hold the biggest gun or you do what the guy holding the biggest gun says or he shoots you. That’s it. That’s where we stand after thousands of years of so-called civilisation: The law of the jungle.

What's shaping up to be among the biggest protest marches in UK history is being formed now! The Together Against the Far Right demo in London has coaches travelling from all over England and beyond. 200+ civil society orgs, faith groups, worker's unions, celebrities and regular citizens are taking part. You can book tickets below, and most areas have concessional prices as low as £5 for those short on funds.

This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say more people need to understand what "deterministic" means. Using an LLM as a compiler is nonsense even just based on that argument alone.
