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.

Beautiful day for a protest #Pasadena #California #NoKings

Many years ago, a friend said he was following “The S Diet”. It was very simple and memorable:
——
No Sweets or Seconds, except on Saturday and Sunday.
——
Simple… easy… and it actually worked for me as a way to help maintain or reduce weight (along with some mild level of exercise).
My challenge is that in the intervening years, my brain fought that and changed it to:
——
No Sweets or Seconds, except on days ending in ‘y’.
——
🤣🤦‍♂️

#joshJohnson is a smart guy. I’m watching him being interviewed and he’s giving an example of his process. He tells stories. He told a story about a couple of his friends taking another friend to a strip club. And in the course of the evening this friend became convinced that the dancer was falling in love with him. She was just doing her job, and doing it well, engaging with him and making him…

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet.
It infected 3.5 million people in 1986.
Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page
