The old world is dying, and the new world's also dying. Now is the time of dying.
Ha ha — but also note that the 21% figure is itself •generated by an automated tool•:
❝The next day, he got a response from Max Spero, chief executive of Pangram Labs in New York City, which develops tools to detect AI-generated text. Pangram screened all 19,490 studies and 75,800 peer reviews.…Pangram’s analysis revealed that around 21% of the ICLR peer reviews were fully AI-generated, and more than half contained signs of AI use.❞
The word “revealed” is doing way too much work there.

#Music4Coding …
Israeli tech founder Maor Shlomo,
whose vibe coding startup Base44 sold for over $80 million when it was acquired by Wix,
said on the podcast “20VC” that “it’s relatively easy to create a vibe coding tool.”
“Every feature that we put out, we know that’s going to take either a few weeks or a few months for competitor to copy,” he complained.
It's trivially easy for competitors to copy your brilliant innovation.

Minor good news for libraries: "A Victory for IMLS as Court Blocks Trump’s Attempt to Dismantle Agency"
IMLS is the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which funds leadership training and R&D in libraries in the US. A small % of library funding but important.
but I believe everyone is gone and grants cancelled so not sure what happens if funding returns-- who gets employed?
Just a friendly reminder to everyone on the #fediverse that your phone is basically a tiny computer. Consider turning it off more often, like me. I typically switch mine off for about 1 hour, once to twice a month.

Es gibt viel Reibung zwischen dem Schutz von Grundrechten, oder Freiheitsrechten, einerseits, und dem Schutz vor Gewalt im Netz andererseits. Viele Maßnahmen lehnen wir ab, aus guten Gründen (Uploadfilter, Chatkontrolle, Klarnamenpflicht, Internetsperren.. ). Sicherheitsbehörden greifen immer wieder Grundprinzipien des freien Netzes an.

I love what Tauri has done, a lightweight version of Electron, where you author the backend code in Rust.
But while I love Rust, I do not love it for app building, and I wanted to have that HTML-model for programming but available in Swift.
I used assorted AI tools to port Tauri to Swift (it still reuses the big chunks of code from Tauri), but now you can write HTML desktop apps in Swift:

Reporting on the “data center boom” in the state of Oregon,
Rolling Stonetells the story of Jim Doherty, a cattle rancher and former county commissioner of Morrow, in eastern Oregon.
Doherty’s story began when he noticed a rise in bizarre medical conditions among the county’s 45,000 residents,
linked to toxins in the local water.
Working with the county health office, the rancher-turned-official began a survey of 70 wells throughout his jurisdiction

Note that the headline treats this product’s output as established fact:
❝Major AI conference flooded with peer reviews written fully by AI❞
They didn’t even have the journalistic decency to append “claims AI detection company.” Note the passive voice in the sub-headline:
❝Controversy has erupted after 21% of manuscript reviews for an international AI conference were found to be generated by artificial intelligence.❞
“were found”…by whom? Nobody. It’s just a magic fact.
