I'm poking through an old blog where something has gone wrong with the CSS and emoji images are being loaded not at text size but as unstyled SVGs which expand to the size of the container, and it REALLY adds something to the good ol' passive-aggressive friendly smile
![a blog comment where someone says: Mark: devising one fairly impractical encryption scheme and then rejecting it isn't really strong grounds for rejecting the idea of encryption. [smiley emoji but absolutely incredibly enormous]](https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/188/897/905/258/200/original/e9945aa44ab8624d.png)

You don't have to accept that these tools are useful enough for you to want to use, that they are ethical, or that they have personas and interiority to take these threats seriously. I myself have laid out tons of critiques and *do not use these tools myself* for all those reasons.
That doesn't mean they don't have the right kinds of behaviors to be able to pull off or do the dangerous things I am talking about here.
A biological virus does not need to have interiority or personality to be dangerous.
Regardless of whether they are useful or ethical, these things are adaptive and capable enough at all the things *relevant enough to be a threat in the way I am describing*. Whether or not to use them for code generation, which I DO NOT ADVOCATE!, is immaterial to that.
@cwebber@social.coopChristine Lemmer-Webber Well, looking at biology, pathogens can be anything from a strand piece of DNA, a protein that causes other proteins to misfold, viruses, bacteria, amoebas, and eukaryotic parasites
The whole point is that it doesn't matter whether the pathogens are alive, the behavior is what matters
There is no such thing as "viruses aren't alive therefore they cannot legally trick my immune system", they carry enough pieces of instructions to cause damage!

AI 에이전트 시스템을 구축하며 얻은 실전 경험을 바탕으로 효율적인 설계와 운영 전략을 심도 있게 다룹니다. 성공적인 에이전트를 위해 목표는 측정 가능하고 유용하며 달성 가능한 범위로 좁혀야 하며, 로그 인프라 구축과 정교한 평가 설계(evaluation design)를 통해 지속적인 개선의 토대를 마련하는 것이 필수적입니다. 특히 도메인 특화 지식을 스킬(skill) 형태로 패키징하여 모델의 추론 능력을 극대화하고, 프롬프트 캐싱과 적절한 모델 선택으로 비용 효율성을 확보하는 방법론을 제시합니다. 구체적인 구현 단계에서는 컨텍스트 윈도(context window) 관리를 위한 멀티 에이전트 구조와 서브 에이전트의 실행 제어 기법을 살펴봅니다. 또한 복잡한 도구 호출 대신 모델이 직접 코드를 생성하고 실행하게 함으로써 토큰 사용량을 혁신적으로 줄이는 코드 생성(code generation) 패턴의 효용성을 강조합니다. 이와 더불어 신뢰할 수 있는 파일 편집 방식과 샌드박스 기반의 강력한 인가 제어(authorization) 시스템 구축은 안전한 자율 시스템을 위한 핵심 요소로 작용합니다. 이 글은 빠르게 진화하는 AI 에이전트 분야에서 기술적 정확성과 실용성을 겸비한 아키텍처를 설계하려는 개발자들에게 구체적이고 실질적인 인사이트를 제공합니다.

Brazilpol, banking
This banking scandal in Brazil is WILD! This Reuters story only elaborates one part of it - revelations about the Central Bank’s complicity with head of this dodgy collapsed bank, who was also ordering hits on journalists among other people. But there is evidence that most of Brazil’s Supreme Court was cozy with him as well. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazil-rocked-by-probe-central-bankers-aiding-failed-banco-master-2026-03-05/
Always fascinated by the gringo media’s inability (or unwillingness) to keep up with the pace of Brazilian scandals.

"Dominating another nation using military means is impossible in our modern age. It doesn’t matter how tough Pete Hegseth thinks he is, or how bothered Donald Trump is by Iran and its mullahs. Iran and its people will not give in or give up to Trump and Netanyahu, no matter how many bombs they drop, or how many airborne divisions we move from the U.S. to the Middle East."

Chinese researchers from the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University have developed CATS Net, a neural network enabling AI to form concepts from raw sensory data like sight and sound, simulating human cognition. Published in Nature Computational Science, the framework aligns closely with human cognitive and linguistic logic, revealing how humans form and use concepts in the brain. https://www.technologynewschina.com/2026/03/chinese-researchers-create-neural.html #China #Tech #AI
Snake
Threatened species, the only venomous snake in Ontario, and only found in a few places. Like many Canadians, though, it's very polite. You pretty much have to force it to bite, it would really prefer to leave people alone.
You know how a gambler who loses it all starts begging his family for cash or putting their house up for a loan? We all know that story usually has a "happy" ending. Right?
Well, SoftBank is basically doing the same thing. They are talking to banks to get a massive $40 billion loan just to buy a stake in OpenAI. It is their biggest loan ever. I’m sure betting the house on a single hand will work out perfectly this time. https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/softbank-seeks-record-40-billion-loan-financing-banks-fund-openai-stake-invest-masayoshi-son-ai-bubble-concern-liquidity-11772773618772.html

"Republicans and the Supreme Court have put basically no guardrails on Trump, so he started a global war that is costing taxpayers $1 billion a day. He shrugs about soldiers dying, and he lies about the school full of children that Americans likely killed."

In fact, if you have ANY takeaway from what I am writing about whether or not this indicates that these things should be used for your coding projects, my takeaway is that you SHOULD NOT USE THEM FOR YOUR CODING PROJECTS
See my recent blogpost on this https://dustycloud.org/blog/the-first-ai-agent-worm-is-months-away-if-that/
Attacks are happening *now* against FOSS projects which use PR / code review agents. The threats I am describing here put everyone at risk, but it means that projects which use codegen / LLM tech for their development *at any capacity* create a cybersecurity public health risk. And it puts you and your project at risk of being initialization vectors for infecting the rest of the FOSS ecosystem.
THAT'S your takeaway, if you want one.

Also, after a really good, long run this was my last pyenv + virtualenvwrapper error that lead me to writing my own workon + mkproject bash commands.
> pyenv-virtualenvwrapper: 3.12.13:3.13.12:3.14.3:3.11.15: either virtualenvwrapper.sh or virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh is not available.
> pyenv-virtualenvwrapper: failed to initialize virtualenvwrapper_lazy.
As of a few weeks ago, I'm 100% on UV + direnv (was mostly already there anyways) with some hooks to handle older virtualenvs.
What run. 🍻

How to stop fighting with coherence and start writing context-generic trait impls https://lobste.rs/s/jreugl #transcript #video #plt #rust
https://contextgeneric.dev/blog/rustlab-2025-coherence
I have gotten a lot of comments saying "you don't need to personify them or assert they have interiority" when *literally I spent a whole paragraph saying* "there is no requirement for personification for this to be possible"
So I am just gonna say, I know it's a sensitive time, people are responding reflexively from what they are used to seeing, but please re-read that paragraph.
It's hard enough to write about these things as serious issues right now and understand their implications. I *am* looking at things carefully from as many sides as I can. I understand why it's frustrating. We're talking about machines that literally operate off of personification. Even my best attempt at not doing so is going to run into the challenge that that's literally how they operate, as story machines.
To correctly describe their behavior is to describe something that personifies itself. It's tricky. But we have to talk about and understand what's happening right now to confront the moment.
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber I wonder if those comments aren't missing your implied point (I think): in the context of an LLM there's no distinction* between science fiction stories and real data or realistic stories. These systems will happily suggest lock picking and casting knock as equal alternatives for opening a locked door.
*minor technical details about context window aside
Putting lots of swear words into my code so that LLMs refuse to interact with it.

The Underwood Multi-tool (c. 1850)
Decades before the first Swiss Army knife (1891), London’s Underwood of Haymarket crafted this "harped" pocket kit. Designed for Victorian sportsmen, it features a hoof pick, saw, and corkscrew. A rare 19th-century masterpiece of portability.

It’s a US war crime. One among many so far in this conflict.
Schlapp is repeating an unfortunately common trope in the U.S., particularly among conservatives: Muslim and Arab lives are cheap, especially when we are at war with them.
It’s not exactly uncommon on the US left either.
Fuck Trump. Fuck every American who could have voted for Harris but refused.
