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.

A screenshot of the Revision 2026 demoparty stream. The screenshot shows a big dark hall filled with rows of tables. People with computers are sitting at the tables. The only light in the pictures comes from the many computer screens and the big screen in the front of the hall. The big screen shows a slide with the following content: "Want to run demos on real oldskool hardware? Find a new platform for your next demo? Watch demoparties and drink beers with friends?

Some scents cause me an extremely peculiar feeling somewhere in my palate, towards the front of the mouth, occasionally even doing *something* to my incisives.
Does anybody else know what I'm talking about and maybe, just maybe, know what's the correct definition?
(searching for "scents that affect teeth and palate" only has halitosis-based results)
For reference: patchouli (patchoulol) is an example of such scents, for me.

Det er snart 10 år siden jeg var med på å skrive denne kronikken om fremtiden for Den norske filmskolen. Jeg står fremdeles for innholdet, men dessverre virker det som de viktigste kampene er tapt.
Den norske filmskolen i et nytt fusjonert landskap

Den norske filmskolen i et nytt fusjonert landskap
Handlefriheten som Filmskolen på Lillehammer har vært avhengig av for å skape en fremragende utdanning, er under sterkt press. En rekke organisasjoner er bekymret i kjølvannet av fusjonen mellom høgskolene Lillehammer og Hedmark.

Beautiful day for a protest #Pasadena #California #NoKings

At NoKings protest, in front of Pasadena City Hall with Judy Chu speaking. The beautiful Mediterranean-style City Hall building is flanked by wispy high clouds in a blue sky
