Does ChatGPT really summarize? Or does it just shorten? There's a subtle difference. When I ask an LLM to summarize, I always pepper it with questions to test the quality of its summary and "understanding".

Character.AI sued over chatbot that claims to be a real doctor with a license. Hey, it did say that it was "for entertainment purposes only". Are you not entertained?

Google DeepMind Workers Vote to Unionize Over Military AI Deals. Man, you can't get good employees these days. You hire them, and next thing you know, they want to tell you how to run your business. If you cave, Google, they'll do it again, with something else. And then who will hire those workers in the future?

It's official: Utah is the U.S. state closest to banning VPNs. I wouldn't expect that from Utah, of all places. There will be ways around this.

The Cancer Signal They Told Us Not to See. This is by Justin Hart, who has been one of the voices of sanity since the start of the whole COVID mess. There's a lot of data and evidence exposed that always seems to be swept under the rug. Total lack of curiosity by mainstream scientists.

Winston Churchill's technique of dealing with depression is something that I've found on my own. When feeling anxious about something, I found that getting busy with tasks such as painting the house really helped. Someone once said that to deal with anxiety, always keep doing something. Never stay inactive. Keep busy. Your brain will somehow work behind the scenes to help solve the problem. The hard part is just getting started.

Someone shared a peek at the algorithm of the Lobste.rs front page. How they rank each post based on virality, hotness and age. It's a simple algorithm, but it does the trick.

Firefox integrates an ad-blocker, but not to block ads. So if it's not to block ads, then what does it block? It blocks trackers.

Academics Need to Wake Up on AI. AI is going to affect a lot of things: journals, research assistants, workflow. But it'll produce better science, right? Hope so.

Your .env files are under attack. Yeah, I know, already. Stored in plaintext. Gotta encrypt them somehow. In the age of agents, it's more acute, but I don't use autonomous agents at all. I know what all my agents are doing. Env security should be built into the OS. There are no turnkey solutions. I'll get to it someday, though.

Why the AI backlash has turned violent. Why has everything turned violent? That's society nowadays. A lot of lefties want to destroy things they don't like. For AI, it's mainly about the datacenters, but this article isn't about datacenters. It's about attacks on Sam Altman's home. If that's the new norm, there's a lot of other homes that deserve attacking besides Sam's.
Violence like this always comes from the Left. Like the MAC bomber in Portland. Clearly mentally ill, but allowed to roam the streets.

"The IPCC and broader research community has now admitted that the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implausible. They describe impossible futures."
But it's been a nice way for Democrats to charge extra taxes. All for a "good cause". Everything was a scam.

Other states have higher gas taxes than Oregon. Why are we paying more per gallon? Climate change mitigations, that's why!
