You'd think it would be easy to Not Do A Fascism, but state Dems keep falling over themselves to help Project 2025 along.

Massachusetts House advances unconstitutional social media ban bill that will harm LGBTQ youth and human rights
The Massachusetts House has advanced H. 5349, a draconian and laughably unconstitutional bill that would ban minors from social media, force social media platforms to enable parental surveillance of teenagers’ online activity, and subject everyone to privacy-invading online ID checks in order to access information or speak out online. Dozens of civil liberties, racial justice, […]

Guten Morgen liebe Menschen mit politischen Rechten in der Schweiz.
Nicht vergessen, heute ist ein Abstimmungssonntag! 🗳️
Wer sein Couvert also nicht schon vor Tagen eingeworfen hat, sollte nun rasch aufstehen, die Unterlagen ausfüllen und zum Stimmlokal eilen.
Heute geht's mal wieder nur ums Geld: Bargeld 💵, Individualbesteuerung 💰, Klimafonds 🌡️, SRG-Gebühren-Halbierung 🪓

We in the US are so far failing in our historic role, following the Italian resistance, to keep our fascist regime busy dealing with us in the US and less able to attack and strangle other countries. (And less able to harm its targets of genocide here.)

Our world is run by monsters. Like, literal monsters.
I've seen plenty of films and books where the "monster" might harm or destroy only a handful of humans before being vanquished, and yet, our governments have killed how many?
The people in charge have done damage to our world we cannot reverse.
The real monsters live among us, not in stories or fantasy.
How do we end these monsters?

I have no illusions that there's gonna be any once slop code does harm, tho. After all, companies got away with all kinds for hand-crafted, artisanal negligence for decades.

Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes
Ars Technica has fired senior AI reporter Benj Edwards following an outrage-sparking controversy involving AI-fabricated quotes.

Imagine:
You are these parent of an adorable 4-year-old kid. They have made a toy airplane out of spare cardboard. Sadly, during play the wing has fallen off. You, a wise parent, produce a piece of duct tape and tape it back on. Your kid asks: "but what if the tape breaks, or the other wing falls off?" Dutifully, and with a completely serious manner, you duct tape the other wing, and then with a sharpie you write "Please DO NOT fall off!" on each wing. "There," you say, now the wings will not fall off. "
Your child happily returns to their play.
Imagine:
You are boarding a Boeing airplane for an intercontinental flight. Just the other day you were reading news about the emergency exit door falling off a Boeing airplane during flight. Thankfully nobody was injured in that incident, but a passenger could have been sucked out the gap and killed. As you walk down the aisle towards your seat at the back, you notice that around the emergency exit door of this plane, there are some scratch marks. It looks like it might not be 100% seated in place. You see several rolls worth of duct tape slapped onto the gaps between the door and the frame. In sharpie, someone has written "Please DO NOT fall off!" on the duct tape.
This is a post about #Agentic #AI.
To clarify: there are a host of reasons why using Claude Code is unethical in the first place, besides the fact that its a danger to its users. These make it unethical to use it even for a child's-toy-like application. But the source code we've just witnessed in the recent leak is *exactly* this level of "engineering." If you see an app that claims to be "programmed with AI" and it has any possibility of failing in a way that could harm you (for example, if it connects to the internet, meaning that poor programming could allow hackers to take over the device you run it on), my advice is: "Do not use it and warn your friends and family."
P.S. yes, this advice does apply to Microsoft Widows at this point, although that can be a tougher bullet to bite.
