RFK Jr. can promote getting measles with impunity, DOJ lawyer tells judge
The startling claim came amid a lawsuit from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Calling yourself an "Effective Altruist" is kinda like calling yourself a "Libertarian".. it is possible to thread that needle and still be a decent person, but it's extremely difficult

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.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber This is making me more worried about Vorta's Claude workflows. 
Backup software that handles highly sensitive data would be a prime target for such a supply chain attack.

@inecas Honestly, I couldn't even fairly evaluate that pabulum for bias. I just got stuck on "You are a messy pile of code and stolen averages; you don't get to use personal pronouns."
@drsbaitsoCassander @nedbatNed Batchelder @inecas it's SUPER FUCKED in so many dimensions. No wonder some people hate LLMs. I'd hate them all too, if I had ever used "Claude" before.

@davidgerard now I'm really tempted to go back to school to study computer programming so I can learn to code and resist this fascist AItocracy

In case anyone's wondering about the latest in "confidently wrong" [1], software relicensing actually requires more effort than tweaking plagiarized slop: https://mikepennisi.com/blog/2020/you-may-finally-use-jshint-for-evil/
You May Finally Use JSHint for Evil
JSHint is a software tool designed to help developers write JavaScript code. Since its creation in 2011, it has been encumbered by a license which includes the following clause: The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil. That stipulation disqualifies JSHint from the distinction of “free” software and “open source” software. Today, with a release 7 years in the making, we’re removing the clause. Support for Evil is a new feature but not a breaking change, so in keeping with Semantic Versioning, we’ve incremented JSHint’s minor version.

None of my current projects would be considered digital infrastructure, but if your project qualifies and needs someone to help it grow, please reach out. Maybe we can apply together!
I've spent the last 10+ years freelancing as an open source developer, community manager and project manager, with a special interest in governance & leadership development.
I have plenty of availability right now and I'd love to spend it supporting open source digital infrastructure.

The #OpenTelemetry project is delighted to announce that declarative configuration is stable!
With implementations in five languages and two more in the works, declarative config brings greater configuration consistency across languages and more flexibility than environment variables can offer.
Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this momentous accomplishment!

A note on why this is a worry in the thread ->
Fonts are a lucrative target. They require a complex parser, usually written in a language that isn't memory safe, and often directly exposed to outside data (websites, PDFs, etc. that contain fonts). This means a flaw could lead to an attack worst case scenario: arbitrary code execution
HarfBuzz is pretty much the only full-featured library for that takes font files, parses them, and returns glyphs ready to render. It is ubiquitous. A security flaw in HarfBuzz could make a good portion of the world's user-facing software (i.e. that renders text) unsafe.
Irrespective of the vibe-coding issue (code review is not an adequate defence against "agent" bugs) this is a piece of software that, due to its position in the industry, should be MORE conservative than the rest. Core infrastructure is not where you want experimentation
